ok so are you using an aluminum tank on the vivi or are you using the reg tube? i would think it would crack it. id try but id hate to kill me vivi lol

Regular plastic tube. They are cheap if it cracks so I don't care. What I do though is load approximately what I will vape so when I go to sleep it is empty. I don't want it to crack and waste my pluid!

Oh you are gonna love it in the cobra on the Provari Mini. That is exactly where my Pluid is right now, I have two RBT's filled with Pluid right now, both run on my Provari mini, my Cobra 3ML and my Gemini by MM Vapors. Both are AMAZING RBT's and that way I can Vape Pluid while refilling with Pluid in the other one :D, Yeah... It's That Good :D

Yeah the Cobra is nice. I thought I would end up drilling the air hole but I'm starting to get used to the tight draw.

Lol @ vaping while refilling another tank with pluid!

I hear ya, I got a used one that had already been bored out to 1/16th of an inch and although it is very very airy it has not lost too much flavor. I have gotten used to it in the past few days and now that I have it is not so bad. It definitely produces more vapor than anything I have ever tried due to the extra airflow across the wick.

I tell ya what, the top cap came to me in dreadful condition, I never knew titanium could scratch so much, but I got it back to a factory sheen over the past couple days and now it is nice and shiny again with zero defects save for the two pitting marks that it originally came with and even those are so minute you really have to look for them.

What was your process on refinishing the titanium? Just so I can have for future knowledge.

For mine it looked like that one that was all scratched up that was on the classifieds the other day, (may still be there, not sure).

I went through all of my old drip tips that came with various types of clearomisers, cartomizers, picked up at vape meets etc and found the one that fit into the top cap the tightest. Then I secured the drip tip into my cordless drill attacked to the top cap.

After a few adjustment spins to make sure it was not too wobbly. I grabbed my 400 grit black wet/dry sand paper and got a small bowl of water to ensure I could keep it good and wet and then lightly laid the top cap into the sand paper and just sat there and spun it cupped in my hand loosely until it was nice and smooth. Then increased it to 600 grit, 800 grit and so on until it was pretty much without any brush marks. Then I grabbed a good size piece of never dull and spun it in the never dull, spun it in a paper towel, spun it in the never dull, paper towel over and over a few times until I was happy with the shine I got which now matches the top cap of my Provari. Washed it thoroughly inside and out including the air hole with good hot soapy water until I could no longer smell that familiar metal polish slash bare metal smell. Dried it, finished it off with a nice damp microfiber cloth. Bang all done and good as new :D

Hope this helps anyone looking to refinish the top cap of their genesis device :D

Nice, that's what i kind of figured you did. Thanks for that info..

My pluid will be here in the morning :) I wish I could go get it now, it's just sitting there @ the PO waiting to be vaped

You are very welcome. I like helping out anywhere I am able to with anything, especially related to e-cigs :D Yeah I have three different rebuildable atomizers running right now with three different ohms rating on three different PV's and each one is amazing in it's own right. Also, each one has a very unique flavor characteristic due to the variances in their properties. It is quite amazing really :D

When I get it monday it's going straight into my Cobra which is sitting on top of my mini provari. Can't wait!

I just built a wick and coil for my Cobra and am braking it in so it will be ready for my first taste of pluid come Monday when it gets here.
I just got the Cobra the other day and have not used it yet.

Oh man are you going to like the Cobra or what. It's awesome! Have you done any dry pulls to see how tight the draw is? It's a little tight but not bad.

What is your wick/coil setup? I'm using 400 since I'm waiting on my 500. 70mm wick with 30 gauge a1 kanthal running at about 1.7 ohms.

It's a little tight but I kind of like it.
Used 400, could only get 40 mm to roll tight enough to slid into the hole but it's wicking good, got some juice in it right now to try it out to make sure it would wick.
Even holing it tilted down it's not getting dry hits with the volts turned up to 4.5.
Will be washing it out before I go to bed so it's ready for when the pluid gets here.
Used 30 gauge kanthal a1 @ 1.9
Not bad see as I have not made more the 5 wicks and coils.
Got a dud and a bliSS that I have been playing with and I like the Cobra the best.

Have you tried Pluid before? Or first timer?
