If it helps ya got 'beyond' it - the rattle of my plastic button is louder than the metal button in my Zmax's. Just vape it, don't shake it.
my iTaste rattles, all the buttons... Busardo seemed to have a real issue with it, but it's just electronics... can't see why it's a problem, really. I used to have a mouse which had loose buttons, and at first it was sorta annoying, all the clicking... but I got so used to it that when I got a new mouse that DIDN'T rattle, I thought it was dead... ROFL!

Hey, I noticed something kinda strange with this coil that I was fiddling with today... I finally did get it open, lifted up the flavor wick, saw the coil with wick in it, all nice and clean, no black stuff at all --maybe because I use high-PG juices. But since I got it all put back together, now the resistance is measuring right at 2.5, which is the rated resistance on the clearo at the places where you buy 'em... so it would seem that my tinkering was actually good for it, and got the resistance where it's really supposed to be. That's odd, usually tinkering messes stuff up, but I was really careful with it when I got it all back together, so maybe that was a good thing.

I had to go back a lot of pages to find this post!
But I had bookmarked the link, and went to check it out. You remember I was having those "must buy vapegear" thoughts about a dripper? Well my other half noticed tonight how absurd it is to have to refill the tank when it's like half full, and I mentioned that there IS a fix for that; told him about the dripper, and that it wasn't expensive, and he seemed interested; like me, he hates waste. So I might be able to get one of these pretty soon. Does it need one of those 510 driptips?Andria
Yes it does. The aluminum cover gets more than warm enough to burn. Search ECF for "Smok squid" for threads on it in case you missed my comment before about it. I'm partial to glass and ceramic tips myself. I just looked at the site and they offer inexpensive ceramic ones. Acrylic ones are fine. Lots of folks like the metal ones like the Stainless steel offered at that site but I don't think it's the best choice for the Smok RDA since the aluminum cover gets a bit warm.

If it doesn't come with a drip tip, then yes it will require one. The ad indicates it will come with plastic drip tip.
Well, this evening, while waiting for our traditional Friday 2go 'wings & strings' and enjoying an adult bev and vaping, had a young half-a-biker* sit next to me at da bar. After watching me take a few drags, he pulls out a new MVP (no topper) he just purchased locally and asked if I knew how to 'program' it. I said yepper. He then pulls out an eGo 650mAh with... wait fer dis... an eMDCC (eGo Mega Dual Coil Carto) and vapes along with me.
'Programmed' his MVP and demonstrated how to change da volts/watts. Set him up fer 8 watts. He placed da eMDCC on it and took a long draw. Just gotta luv da full moon eyes and ear-to-ear new moon grin!
"Didn't realize my e-liquid could taste this good!"
Found out he paid twice what I had for da MPV. Two beers and much discussion later, I gave him an ECF card and headed on home. Good day!

Here's the link to the forum all about this stuff, they'll be able to help ya out with any questions you might have about RDAs.
Rebuildable Atomizer Systems
Got da telescopic. Luv not having extra batt extension tubes laying 'round! Sumtimes I like an 18350, sumtimes an 18500, other times...
Thus far, I have only one very, very minor complaint. Da metal fire button has just a lil' bit of rattle; again very, very minor! Otherwise, totally happy with da PV!
I'm just the opposite, I wanted the biggest, most long lasting battery I could get in 1 tube. Don't care for the telescope. I am so excited to get it, I'll wear a rut in the floor waiting on vape mail.
Mine's coming from FT too, so it'll be the end of the month before it gets here.Better hurry up, my ego's are giving me trouble, hope they last till I get my new stuff. I have 2 with stripped 510 threads and 1 that refuses to keep the center pin up, no matter how many times I pull it back up. Just need them to last another 2-3 weeks.
Good night all! See ya on the flip side.
Pastic/Acrylic tips are prone to the same problems as plastic tanks. SO if you use a tank cracker juice then you want a drip tip that is NOT plastic
Good point; I think I prefer the plastic ones for regular use; last night I was using the ARO and that stainless really is cold. My regular e-juice is fine in plastic, and I think I might have found an alternative to the redhot, this cinnamon apple I just got. it's more like a baking cinnamon, not terribly sweet but not "hot." It's really good with the apple, and seems to mix well with my regular Virginia.

Ohh, I just tried the newest rendition of Virginia, and this is amazing, but I think it's the same as what I get from MFS... hot damn, it's a lot cheaper, too! I'm having to hit it sparingly, because I got this in 12mg instead of 6; took a few big ol puffs a bit ago and got quite dizzy! but it tastes a lot like what I get from MFS. I'll keep taking hits here and there, to make sure I'm not just tasting what was in the wick, but it sure does seem like the regular stuff.
Andria
EDIT: On further acquaintance with this e-liquid... nah. Glad I ordered the VG Virginia and Virginia flavoring from MFS. This one might improve, but it's not there yet.

I'm loading up some Bavarian Cream .... first time tasting it. New cotton clean coil and new juice... it just doesn't get any better
I like these though: 510 Angle Swivel Drip Tip - Marble Colors - MyFreedomSmokes.com
I was looking at drip tips, because someone here told me that the heat of the top coil in the iClear16's might not bother me so much with a longer drip tip.. of course the iClear16 would need one of those adapters, and that would make the distance even further. But then I realzed that this 510 dripper would probably need one. I like the tilty ones but I guess it's not really practical for a dripper.

Does it really taste like Bavarian Creme? I can't eat that stuff anymore, can't eat anything with a lot of eggs... including eggs! so I had to stop eating bavarian creme, and egg custard, and quiche... *sigh* I still love french vanilla ice cream, but have to eat it very sparingly. I was looking for a French Vanilla e-juice that I saw *somewhere* but now I can't find it.

I can't make joose quite that inexpensively with MBV flavorings because I use 20% to 25% flavoring, meaning that 15ml of joose is going to have at least $0.60 worth of flavoring in it before I add nic and base.just FYI...
I can get 15 ml of Hawk sauce from mt baker for $4.99.
I got the flavoring, and factoring in all the costs (I reuse my bottles), it costs me $.59 to make the same amount on my own.
tradeoff, is that I don't have the same quality control they do.
too bad you are not closer.
for the first 3 months of vaping, when I went to visit my parents, I would open my LT and show them how safe and good vaping is.
My mom has since done some research on her own and is 100% for it.
What does LT mean?
The Internet is so amazing! I don't know how I lived without a computer. I think of the times that disputed facts had to wait for a trip to the library and hours of research there.... now, one minute with a Google search gives more info than a day spent in the library once did. Today Dad asked: How did Camp David get its name? 30 seconds later I'm able to tell him that it was named by Dwight David Eisenhower after his Dad and his grandson. Before that, Roosevelt and Truman called the compound Shangri-La.No, I was burning up the phone lines, from Michigan to Georgia to my computer-nerd dad, back when long distance still existed! Times sure have changed since then!!

Some coils will produce better vapor than others simply because they're wound better. A head with two loops of coil touching might work but will have a hot spot that negatively affects flavor.

The main reason to consider glass drip tips is because when you drip the juice down them, the e-juice doesn't stick to the glass like it does to the plastic. If you pull the tip off a dripper to refill it, then it really doesn't matter what you use.
Glass would probably be ok, probably not as cold as steel. Not sure I've seen any glass driptips though, where can I find 'em? Seen lots of glass/pyrex tanks, but not driptips I don't think.
I figured out that leak; on the base itself, the smaller rubber gasket just below where the coil screws in.. it's supposed to lay flat, flush, and this one wasn't... I fiddled with it awhile today when I had them both opened up, and I think it's fitting better now, I didn't notice any leaking tonight. Oh, I switched bases on the two clearos, and it seems to work better on the original T3S. *shrug*
