Got the same one ... I love any mod with a dragon theme, and I have several different ones.
But, I had to pay full price :cry:
As if vaping wasn't enough of a "hobby" ... now I have to make a hobby out of part of a hobby :censored:

I have a similar problem with my "collecting" of things like mods and atty's
It was just so cool! I had to have it!!! Works good too! Just a smidgen of an edge can be felt around the window for the display. That's the only thing I have found wrong with it! Still over two bills though!$$$ obsessive/compulsive disorder:blush:

Hi everyone! I'm looking at the mini davides and the protank mini 2 for my isticks. Any one here have any pluses or minuses on them? I haven't gone to those threads yet, thought I'd ask here first. I'm going to start saving up for the holiday sales,( just lost my job) and hope for the best. Thanks, :)

Well, now you've gone and done it. :p I haven't managed to break any tubes on them yet, but I'll probably end up with a bunch of spares now.


Well, you really do need to have backups. For the backups. And you get spare grommets as well... :laugh:


Grainger.com carries them for roughly 8 to 15 dollars each, depending on size (they even carry 2ml). I have never ordered syringes from them, but with other items I have ordered in the past there were no issues at all.

We used to get a large variety of stuff from them at the hydro, before I retired. Good outfit to deal with.

NO, NO, NO!! That's compulsive disorder obsessive. It MUST be alphabetized!!! :p

The mini Davides hold a little more, but are harder to fill. Have both, and in spite of that I think the Davide has a better draw, and can handle a bit higher power. My mini PT I have to dial way down. I use rebuilt PT heads in both, so it's got to be in the airflow design.

Sorry to hear of your loss :(

this is why I need to stay on top of keeping my bench clean, rebuilt an RDA last night and today the bench looks like this...shame on me...

Welp. At least you had your wheates!!

Speaking of glass, does anyone know a good source for glass syringes? I have a couple of flavors that aren't playing well with the rubber plungers on plastic syringes.
Srynge rather than droppers? I'm the same. I look on Amazon first.
Amazon.com: glass syringe

I got one on his recommendation. I love it I also have 3 originals. I like the EH Pro every bit as well in some ways better. The draw is a little tighter but it seems to be loosening up if that is possible. I would definitely get another from fluid vapes. Plus it comes with a screwdriver and an M tank. The original is $70 more and doesn't.

I had an inkling PapaSloth knows the know :)

Bought the exact same from Fluid Vapes on recommendation from Papasloth and love it. One thing to note, when you get it look through the two air holes after backing out the air adjustment screws. You should see light all the way through. If not you need to adjust the center pin until you do. On mine it was about 1/8th turn. Make sure you hold the postive block on the build deck so it doesn't move and cause a short. Please don't let this scare you off, it's really easy to do. Fairly common on all V2 models with two air holes

Sent while presently sitting on my .... watching mind numbing prattle on the TV. 257 Channels and nothing on.

Thanks MattB101 - I have added the info to my Vaping Notes.

Speaking of glass.

Further speaking of glass :D So far I have mostly been getting the liquids in small bottles just to test the waters and some in larger well 30ml.
All have been plastic and thats fine (More into the liquid taste etc atm) Though one batch from one company was rather hard to squeeze to get the liquid out. Is glass good/better as an option and I read they come with a dropper , if so is the tip of the dropper small enough to add the juice to smaller clearomisers? My Nautilus I'm using atm is ok rather wide tank to fill but someone is still liking yeolde ce4's.
I see different companies will be different but just wondering about personal experiences.
If you were to store Liquids for say longer than 6 months is leaving them in plastic ok or should you transfer to glass ?

Thanks, David! That was a fast reply, too, lol. Are the ones at FT any good? Or should I stay with originals?

I've not tried the FT versions, so can't say. Maybe check the reviews section on each one they list? I did get a KF mini clone from them, and it's well made.

I do have some store flavors that came in glass, with droppers. The work fine even on the Davide mini, with it's tiny openings, so don't see them as being a problem with other toppers. Of course, they may not all be the same size - but I have 4 or 5 from different vendors, and they all at least "about" the same size on the tip.

And I do have some larger quantities in original plastic, and haven't noticed any change. Other than the level does go down over time. :laugh:

I really cannot figure out what's gone wrong with my 5.0ml Nautilus. Are there stripped threads somewhere? I simply do not know. When I refill, the bottom simply turns endlessly without becoming tight. This problem did not come on suddenly, it's just gotten worse over time, to the point that the Nautilus leaks and the bottom is near impossible to remove.

Anyway, I ordered another Nautilus from MFS. Maybe once I see how a properly functioning tank works I'll be able to figure out what's wrong with my first one. For the time being (and possibly longer than that) I'm clueless.

Thanks everyone for the glass syringe recommendations! I ended up going with Holimakaru's suggestion, and found some great deals on eBay. I ended up with 5x2ml, 5x5ml, and 3x10ml glass syringes for $21.04 including shipping, which is really much less than I had been expecting to pay. So hurray!

On the subject of drippers and glass bottles - I personally use syringes with 18ga needles to fill my Kayfun, and never get a mess. I've tried droppers and squeeze bottles, and I always get juice backing up. Whenever I watch youtube videos and someone is filling a Kayfun with a dropper or squeeze bottle, they always seem to get juice everywhere as well, so I don't think it's just me.
