Let's talk hardware

Well... I didn't necessarily mind the tight, stock draw on the RSST, but I figured that the consensus was that around 1/16 was a good size, so I drilled it. draw is a lot more airy, taking lung hits more than the mouth draws that I've been accustomed to... and whoosh, they weren't lying about the vape. Thing hits like a freight train now. Flavor is ok, but I still can't taste with a spit, but that is my tongue's fault.

Now I'm eyeing the air hole in my octopus... might keep it there just to have a contrast though.

I have to say though, my first introduction to high power vaping on a mech... pretty impressed. Now I can see what the fuss was about.

Got some Dragons Fire in there now... guess I'll need to buy a few more RSSTs so I can have more flavors available. DOH!

YEs LeoRex. After a while it's very addicting and one tank just isn't enough.. THen one day it is

After playing with my chAI you clone I realize it's a nice looking device but it's just not completely my style.
I've become completely used to the locking ring on the titan and just prefer that over everything.
THe locking ring on the CHAI loosens the bottom button constantly or if I'm not paying attention it unscrews the actual button.
I torched it and it's a mess but it's my mess and i like it.. THough I can't say for certain I'll ever use it.. ..

I also realized last night I prefer 18350 mode on all devices and from henceforth in the future will only buy tiny devices..
The days of carrying possible batons are over.

Probably need to get some cases.

Me too. Keep forgetting when I order bats, or they're out of stock, etc. etc.

Nice..... got my new toy... K100 with n RSST... Lots of firsts. First mech, first genny RBA, first attempt at a SS mesh wick. I did the 'pulse' method to prep it... worked out OK, didn't blow anything up and I ended up with a good performing wick at 1.2ohms. I might drill out the hole as many suggest... but right now, its fine.

And I immediately filled with some Huntsman. mmmmmm..... Huntsman.

So, right now, it's cooking at around 13w and vaping nice... Amazing actually. On silica wicked clearos on my Vamo, once I hit 9.5, bad things, very bad things.

Looks nice, Leo! I never had any luck with mesh, but didn't stick with it long enough, I think. Cable was nice too - a lot easier than mesh. But finally went back to silica on my Richman and it's rocking' with a 0.9 ohm coil.

Thanks bro I'm gonna give it a try tonight

Slim, you can also use silica sleeve over the cable it's even easier than rolling mesh over it.

I really need to wrap some LR coils for my Evods and ProTanks so I can use them with my Odyssey bats. Right now it's rockin' my Richman genny, but it's so damn top heavy! It's either that or get some more LR cartos for it. Love the way it fits in my hand - a very nice 14500 mech.

Did I mention the Odyssey has a 5 year warranty?

For that price, I hope so.

Look at that full sized beauty!~ Not the chai
I sold my second chai already and mailed it within 30 minutes of getting mail
I've got some work on mine. I want that logo gone.. and a better burn .. Until that logo is gone it won't leave the house.. Even if that dude is calling out the general public it's still a matter of saying something is something it's not.

Yeah I would be pretty bent about the whole thing being an EXACT replica. Specially the bottom switch. May have to get rid of the bottom design and the logo too.

This is torched right?
How can I do this? I have a small torch and its not doing the job. Does it just need a huge flame?
Forget it. With a little more research I found a thread. Definitely need a bigger torch.

Those are done in a kiln. You need to hold 1000 degrees Fahrenheit for a solid hour to get such an even blue color. Eric seals them after the job so they won't discolor or rub off. A torch will give you imperfections and swirls. Torches are good for browns and purples, but you really need a controlled environment to get it looking so even. When I did a Sigelei a while back, I did it in an oven at 600 degrees for an hour. It came out looking like light bronze.

I got my Chai today. I have no reservations about owning it since I have the real deal too. I was too curious to pass it up. Now I have a hands-on reference to the slight differences. Serves as protection against scammers. I am amazed at the quality of this, though. From a foot away I can't tell the difference between the two and the Chai hits as hard as the OG.

Considering the circumstances then I like the way it came out.

Eric as in "Eric's Edition" is the guy in Greece who does all the SE Nemesis and 69 Mod stuff. You contact him via email. Use the "contact us" link on the Atmomixani.gr website and ask. They will give you Eric's email address. Send him an email with what (color) you want and you will be added to the list. Keep in mind, the list is HUGE and you will wait several months for your mod. There will be no communication from Eric other than that you are added to the list. To see the color options available, go to vaperev.com. I believe they have photos and names for the different colors. Google Eric's Edition Nemesis to see the color choices (Terra, Celeste & Amber).

Oh word? I will do some digging for a local person.

I had to send the other one back to the shop, because the positive pin was set too low and half my tanks wouldn't fire on it and some would fire intermittently. They fixed the problem and mailed it back, unfortunately, they mailed it to my US residence.

Local person for what? You won't see the Eric's sold in any shops. Keep in mind the torch job is done on matte Nems if you try to have it done. Polished Nems will not hold the color as well. I've seen these auctioned for upwards of $600. Good luck. The Celeste is super sexy but I don't have the patience to wait 4 months for a mod these days.

I think the wick on my new RSST is breaking in now... the TH just went to 11 and I had to turn the bell a little too keep me from coughing on each drag.

Now it's an angry, spitting and sizzling vapor machine.

Hey Leo, If by "bell" you mean the top cap, the air hole should be positioned directly in front of your coils. That will give you the smoothest vape. If the air hole is skewed from the coils, you will get massive TH and less vapor. Of course you can situate it any way that suits you, but know that the coil needs plenty of air to produce proper vapor.

or did "bell" mean something else and I'm just an intrusive axe?
