I threw a Crown II into the basket.....Info about coil material was vague.....So I waited on those....Another issue I have is drip tips....Got a D2, D3, Cuboid and Presa in rotation and different juice in all of them....I like the D3 the best and see a problem in the future remembering what juice is in what PV....I've used different colored tips in the past to know what juice was where....Gonna order up a few more friction fit Cherry Vape tips cause I like 'em and they're pretty much un-breakable....but they're black.....Just another small issue....MFIN'FDA....

All the sheet circling my brain I ran dead out of gas right in the middle of the Crackville Hood yesterday....HellYeah....

Not a good place to run outa gas, but I'm sure you could have handled business if you had to... ;)

I think Katie has been hanging in Crackville. I come home and she has a rope tied around the shed. She insisted someone has been eating and sleeping in it...all overstuffed 8x10ft of it! So the rope around it is to keep folks from breaking into it. I know I shouldn't make fun of her dementia, but ya gotta admit this is pretty humorous :blink::)

Ok i'm looking at these and can't tell if they would take the Vaporesso cCell Ceramic like the Melo 2's

It double the capacity of the 2. Eleaf Istick MELO III Atomizer 4ml - $13.99
can anyone tell me if they fit or how find out???

I am willing to DIY juice (arrgghhh) but would need to start from scratch and don't have a clue what all i'll need. It is probably in here somewhere (Link???). We do have a tractor supply so the pg (do i have that right?)

They would fit but, I don't like them near as much as the melo 2. You don't fill them the same or as easily. I got some with my Pico's which I do love. Just not the Melo 3. Also, take a look at the airflow control on the bottom. It just kind of sucks TBH

You can get PG from TS and many people use it. I don't use it. I get mine from ED. They have a sale right now. 4 gallons for $39 with shipping, I paid $58 for 4 gallons. That beats the $20 at TS for stuff used for farm animals IMHO You can also get a gallon of PG and a gallon of VG shipped for free. Unless you are going to use straight PG, you are going to need to order VG anyway.

Oly any questions you have concerning DIY can be answered right here on this thread....Some experienced mixers right here always willing to help....I feel your pain....I'm over here sweating having enough coils/tanks/PVs to last the foreseeable future....

There were plenty of negative reviews about the new Crown II coils....Trolls??? I can't for the life of me imagine them being anything less than the Crown coils....We'll see how they are before long....

That little run out of gas situation had a dealer hovering in less than 3 minutes....then a couple came out on the porch and watched like a couple of hawks....Reinforcements weren't far and everyone got scarce when I was adding gas into the car.....Looks like they would be easy pickings for the cops....I don't think they wanna catch them....

Someday I pray the FDA gets their just reward.....What's a MFer supposed to do when he's down to his last drip tip??????????

I just picked up the Dovpo Ember today.

I bought early on the Mini Volt and it worked great. I gave it to my daughter and bought a new one. It didn't last half as long as the original. After a bit of back and forth, the seller replaced. The second one was as bad or worse.

I ordered it July 3rd and got a pre-shipping notice. After a week, I emailed them and they apologized as it was misplaced.

I really like the Ember or as my daughter and her friends call it 'a church vape'. It's 50w - 1500mah as apposed 40w-1300 for the min volt.

I use it to stealth vape and yes, I'm THAT guy, though I do make sure no one sees a thing.

Phil Busardo's rated it right behind the Pico and it is much smaller. The Ember

That's a great looking mini mod for sure.....

A great deal on the Crown II as well....I've seen the SS at that price but not the black before now....

So as the world turns I spent the whole night digging into the Kayfun V5....Yeah I said I was through wrapping coils.....I already got wire and wick out the ying yang....Been digging into Clapton wire as well....Pretty sure the KF5 will get hella better MPGs on the juice that the present sub ohmers....The dang FDA has me backed into a corner here....

So as far as purchased Clapton wire goes....Fused or no....Is there a big difference?? KF5 is a single coil atty and I much prefer that style....What gauges would be best for Clapton wire???

Pizza!!!! Great to see you and please do come back often! :)


^^^^me too!!!^^^ :lol:

A vape shop that my company helped to open (in PA) has already announced the closing of their doors on July 31st. I could truly VOMIT! Pizzed beyond belief I am.:-x
Tomorrow I will pack their box of juice for the last time.:(

5er, I use the same nic as wharf and ElDee, except I use it in VG base. No hazmat suits for me!:pervy:

Have a good night all!

Oly, we still should have about two years to get supplies....BUT look what just happened in PA. I surely hope other states don't follow. Better to be safe than sorry my friend.;)
All I'm trying to do is make sure I'm not sitting here after the money grubbing FDA pass their law without juice. I'd rather buy it mixed from other people but I'm not sure if I could.

As far as I know you need nic, pg or vg or both, and flavoring.

Oly and anyone else here....we can and will make sure you have all the help you need in the DIY department.
I've used tractor supply pg and I just got 4 gallons of VG and a quart (?) of pg from essential depot. Good prices! Nic river 100% per ml nic was around $70 a liter.
Beyond that and of course your desired flavorings,(ecgxpress) get some mason jars for storage (also easy cleaning) and a couple syringes.(30 ml, 10 ml, 5 ml). EcigExpress
It isn't as difficult to mix as it seems, and we got you every step of the way!

That kayfun5 has my attention as well ElDee! I am using a griffin right now too and like it enough that I bought two more during 4th of July sales.

I have a pico for stealth as well as my ProV mini new in box. I spent about a month mod hoarding...just in case. Drip tips? Not so much. Didn't think about them much until your post.

Morning folks :)

I think I'm done hoarding mods. I have 7 working, replaceable battery mods, 2 iStick 50s, and a pre order in for the new IPV6. I'm sticking with my original Crowns since I really love them...all 4 of them. I've had a rotating FT order every 2 weeks for 3-4 boxes of .5 Crown coil heads, so I'm stocked up there. Also have the rba deck for one. Still have 3 Subtank Minis, only a few coil heads, but rba decks for all 3...and my Sapor dripper. I also still have my ProV mini, and about 5 (can't remember) Buzz Pros for back up back up :D

Oh yeah...and drip tips out the booty!! I have a thing for pretty drip tips ;)

DIY is decently stocked with several gallons of VG and PG, a liter of nic in the freezer.
