    Russ did way more good than not with his videos IMO
    You talking about SuperX Russ?

    Looking back, it is. I went out and bought that Gizmo, and still use it occasionally for a proper tensioned coil. At first for rebuilding tiny nautilus coils, but now for larger clapton coils. I have a tremor in one of my hands at 59 and it just works for me. You don't want to see me try and get my wick through any coil :(.

    I remember him doing a mixing video back when he was strictly unflavored and mechs only. A couple lines on a large bottle. Fill with nic to the first line, PG to the next line, then VG. Simple. :thumb:

    I'd say I learned quite a lot from him, both in technique and thinking about vaping

    Yep, there's only one Super X Drifter.

    Repetitive actions enhance motor skills. Winding 28ga SS wire around a mandrel is still working for me. I keep it on the mandrel after winding and then move to the atty and wrap both ends around the screws and tighten. So far, at 69 I'm fine with the process. We'll see what happens at 79. :)

    ^5 my friend.
    Well .... I'm 79 and still wrap just fine. Wondering about 89 though :):lol:

    There is old, and then there is old. Old is perception.

    So some spare bottles for the Fuchia Squonk 213's that i bought direct from Sigelei that were all but forgotten. I had 2 Fuchia Squonks so got four of them, but I never used any of them. Still, not as wasteful as the 60+ spare bottles I acquired for Reos that almost none of got used.

    I have one of those squonk mods and some of the same bottles. I tried it out but barely used it.

    never got myself a JuiceBox.
    I bought one. Even paid the extra to have one of my photos applied to it.
    Never really got it to work, though that was likely more to my vaping ineptitude than the device's capability (or lack of). I must still have it, somewhere. Don't recall selling it.

    In the end I had 3 of them (blue, red and black) and used them with the blank door over the empty bottles as just a battery to run three of my six Wotofo Profile Unity Mesh RTA's on (and the other three of them on a couple of Sigelei 213 TC's and an Athena Pride). My preferred squonk gear was the Reo's, so the Fuchia's saw far longer use that way than they did in squonk mode.

    I still use a fuchai mini. It was a pocket carry for me at work for a long time. The button stopped working on the first one after a few years so I got another one. It was kind of hard to find.

    I never bought a Fuchia 213 (because i already had 2 dual batt Sigelei 213 TC mods)... and didn't even know they offered a mini version of it. So I just looked it up. At only 10mm shorter (25/64") than the original I don't think I would have called it a mini myself, or ever bought one.

    Way back when I used shirt pocket carry mods for my wee hours of the night errand runs I mostly used Eleaf Pico Squeeze squonk mods that carried more than enough juice for the runs and weighed next to nothing.

    I originally bought two of them on clearance. I think it was around the time I was also using an evic mini.

    I so wanted my Fuchai Squonk to work. Ultra Cool Futuristic Styling in Electric Blue. Perfect Fit in my Hand. Front Squonk Window. 21700 Capable.

    What an All-Around Cool Squonk Mod for a Lower Wattage (25~30W) Vaper like Me! Trouble was, It Didn't work right.

    I got Weird Battery Alarms saying the Battery was Low. And Strange Random Ohm Readings with my Tried n' True Daily RDA. Then one evening the Mod decided it was a good idea to Auto-Fire.

    A Shame because I really Liked it. But Luckily, after about 10 Back n' Forths with FT, I was able to Return it for a Store Credit.

    I have many. I use them as regular mods. So far so good on the 2 I have in rotation. About 7 months on the oldest one.

    What sucks about them is that the 510 isn't spring loaded and it gets permanently pushed down if you have an atty with a long-than-usual 510. Subsequently, all the other attys won't work on it. I went in and pushed it back up once. I think the next step is to replace the 510 with a spring loaded one.

    These were popular once. Perhaps some kind soul will see this and pop some in the mail...

    They were circuit board spacers available from Madvapes, since discontinued. perhaps at FT?

    Might work. I have a bunch of junk parts around that I'm sure I could fabricate something to stop the slippage.

    But I in the end I'd rather just replace it with a 510 connector since I have to open it up anyhow. I have at least twenty 510s I bought from Fasttech over the years. I couldn't find mu soldering iron when I went into the mod last time.

    Yeah, that part of my brain that knew the location of my tools is starting to fade, lol. Starting to see brand new stuff that I'd forgotten that I purchased also show up here and there.

    I bought dozens of Kidney Puncher Mod Guards years ago that came in several .5mm thick sizes (22mm, 25mm, 30mm, 40mm). You can add as many as is needed to seat an atty with a long 510 as high as you wanted it, or to align the atty AFC's in the direction you wanted them in relation to the mod. Made out of a black flexible material that is not effected by e-liquid so is very easy to clean.

    Huh, I don't ever recall seeing those, nice! I do remember someone slipping an o-ring underneath...
