    I picked up a small set on Amazon that comes in handy with my vape stuff that needs it. It wasn't terribly expensive either (at least not at the time).

    It was three years ago and I see it's no longer Prime, but I'd expect they'd have something similar. Mine was $8 when I got it.

    Those also look like tiny screwdrivers. I am confused, the screws I have look kind of like a hex.

    What are you working on? Can you post a pic? An Allen screw head looks like this

    A Torx screw head looks like this

    It is a torx, the Diamond vpc. The battery is loose and I am gonna fix it, yes I am. I just ordered a torx set from T2 to T10 so I should be covered. I am sure I already have these things around somewhere. Probably with my other two tools I never use. Did I mention I hate fiddly stuff? You should hear me when I have to rewick or rebuild.

    Thanks for the help, everyone.

    Maybe this? (If you have a HF close)

    34 Pc Multi-Bit Precision Screwdriver Set

    And I'm sure this cut and paste will trash the formatting...

    Size(s) Slotted: 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm; Phillips: PH000, PH00, PH0, PH1; Pozi: PZ0, PZ1; Torx: T4, T5,T6,T7, T8, T9, T10, T15, T20; Hex: 0.7, 0.9, 1.3, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0

    So the one at HF just says screwdriver set, doesn't say torx. Wouldn't I need something else?

    That's why I listed the sizes :)

    Question for @gerrymi . Are you still using the Goby? If so, what kind of life are you getting from the coils?

    I ask because both Kat & I are getting absurdly ridiculous use out of them. I've got one that's been running 221 days (and still tastes FINE), and she's got one that will turn one year old next week (or thereabouts).

    I'm running two, and my "baby" is 123 days in use. Now I don't beat them up - it takes me 3 to 4 days to run through a tank - but STILL....

    That's CRAZY, no??? :shock:

    Dang, now that THAT cat is out of the bag, I'm sure they're redesign them to fail quicker! :w00t:

    :pop: for the gerry me.

    Yunz introduced me to the Goby and they were my "Out & About" Mods for a LONG time...

    But...then I replaced them with Justfog Minifits...MUCH smaller, MUCH lighter and noticeably (for me) more satisfying MTL vaping experience...

    So...my Gobys are now in my "Home Rotation"...(to use up the 1000's of coils I bought)...but don't get near the use of my Zenith/Sinuous-P80 setups...

    So I guess that's a "yes", you're still using them.

    Kat...whenever I'm headed out to a "social function" I'll stick 2 Justfog Minifits in one pocket ("for me")...and an extra Justfog Minifit (they're only $11-$13), Goby and 2 30ml. bottles of ejuice in another pocket...

    Then...when I'm out vaping with the smokers...if someone starts asking "serious vaping questions" and after trying the Minifit and Goby is impressed (and thinks s/he would like to actually use one)...I'll give it to them (along with a bottle of ejuice)…

    Interestingly...at this-past-weekend's-huge-Easter-Party...I had one Minifit taker and one Goby taker...:thumbs:

    The full size hastur for a change on the lost vape epetite loaded with manabush, pow wow. The best tobacco,custard, biscuit vape ever.
    View attachment 811847

    I'm drooling again :rolleyes:

    Got the hastur on its way to me, but the lost vape epetite with abalone panels is still my most wanted mod ever ;)

    So, I guess the answer is yes, you're still using them! YAAAY!

    And how long did you say your coils are lasting on average?
