    I've never heard of this company. Do you use one of those?
    Yes, I have several and Asmodus makes really good stuff. A little secret...the pink and purple gradient lustro is beautiful and even though it says it is 5.00 extra, it didn't add it to mine. These were like 70.00 so for 15 bucks, can't beat it. Not sure what the threshold is but I got free shipping as well. I have ordered from them lots of times.

    They also have a couple puppy cams where it’s fun to watch puppies grow. My favorite is the whelping room…I think I said that before :rolleyes:

    Mike do you have a Provari classic?

    When the AW 18350 button tops disappeared and the handwriting on the wall said it was going to be difficult if not impossible to get another decent brand ... I picked up 2x P3s and 2x Classics so I could use flat tops. I've got a slew of 2.5 mini's just sitting around collecting dust.

    Good morning
    The sun is out this morning after a deluge of rain yesterday! The water table is more than satisfied, and so are the flowers and grass.

    Never thought about a doggie/puppy cam; just the owls and other birds, oh and the giraffes, so thank you for sharing this.

    :glare: OK - Never knew the AW 18350 were going away . . . :cry:

    I NEED to find some or a replacement . . . Any ideas? :blink:

    I wish I had seen the writing on the wall. I have 10 and enough extensions to use them with the two bigger type bats and will do so if worse come to worse. But luckily the same kind soul who is giving me the AW bats said he is also sending me one of his classics…he said he has several. :wub::wub::wub::banana:

    Morning all.

    Temps did finally drop, nice day yesterday and for the next few. Even some mutterings about "scattered" showers late in the week. We'll see...

    Hola .. :)

    I think I am about 2.5 weeks and 1900 puffs into the Zlide .. can you change the coil without dumping the liquid .. ?? Heck, I don't even know if it's time to change the coil, it still seems to be doing OK ..

    IMHO - Personally, unless there wasn't that much e-liquid in the tank - I wouldn't take the chance . . . Hey like I've said before , depending on the liquid your using, coils will last "Me" usually 90+ days . . . ,Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    OK, thanks .. so run the liquid down, then dump what's left, remove the old coil and clean the Zlide, then prime and replace with a new coil, I'm guessing ..

    It just seems weird to me that I'm still on the first coil .. but it still seems to taste OK .. 70PG/30VG, 8mg plain nic with a bit of menthol .. it's not quite clear, but pretty close ..

    And where have you been ... the AW's left the house years ago. Something about the factory burning down and they never came back into business as I recall.

    We have had this discussion before and some liked them and others didn't want to try the adapters. I had no problems with them so you might want to consider these:

    https://store.indyvaporshop.com/flat-top-battery-adapter-p431.aspx

    Are those the ones that make the flat top + adapter a wee bit longer than an actual 18350 button top. So that, you can't/shouldn't tighten the end cap all the way.

    Don't change the coil til you need to. You will notice a change in the taste (for the worse) or it will become harder to draw through.

    Mine work without keeping it loose but I suspect it has to do with how tight the spring is. Even if I kept them loose it would work just fine so no big deal to me. Sorry I can't give a more definitive answer but if it comes down to using the adapter or not being able to use the Vari, I will choose the adapter.

    Another one going under

    Someone posted that on another thread a few days ago but at that time, there was no mention of buying the flavorings. I wonder why ahlusion doesn't just sell the flavorings so they could skip the PMTA process. Their stuff is popular, although I never found one I liked a lot.

    Don't change the coil til you need to. You will notice a change in the taste (for the worse) or it will become harder to draw through.

    Listen to the lady :)

    In general, only when the wick / coil starts to gunk up will the flavor start to fade. Same as with any other setup, drop in or hand made. (Or when you think you're needing to up the power level to get back to a good vape.) If it's still "doing ok", then it's still ok :) No need to change the head/coil. And at nearly flavorless, it will probably take a long time for that gunk to show up.
