Beautiful! How did you find someone to do all the work?

Hi, I bought it in Paris and the guy at the shop said he would do it with some Micro Mesh Pads and work through the grits, never imagined it would turn out so good :)

Might be useful to some........

So I now have a authentic Reload and a Kindbright Reload Clone.

They vape exactly the same, no difference at all, the quality of the authentic is slightly better but not by much.

Now the clone leaks, they all do but I have found a fix, this makes the clone a very temping prospect.

The Kindbright Reload leaks due to the bottom o ring, if you replace this with the Serpent SMM bottom o ring, it fixes the problem completely.

And it's still cheaper to buy the reload clone and the Serpent SMM and you get two great tanks in the process.

Below is the clone deck with the Serpent SMM o ring installed.

The coils I built took two days of effort and they are no where near perfect yet, I need more practice, they are very difficult. Oh, and yes, that stray wire did give me a short lol, I found it and removed it haha..

Awesome coils - They are called Mohawk Alien Claptons and they vape amazing !

Wow ... that's some coils work. Do you do it 'by hand' or use some kind of jig? I really down have a yearning to wrap captions but I'm a gadget freak and when I saw something like this I wanted to buy it just to play with it.

Guess I'll start my 77th journey around the sun this morning.
Damn, I'm tired already! It takes a whole year to hike that trail.
Happy birthday, tj! Make it a good one!

@DavidOck thank you, but I need more info for the sites! I would be eternally grateful if one of them is what I need!!!

Darn, didn't realize those were off limits sites, with truncated urls! Sorry!! My search was for "connabomb ejuice clone", if you want to hunt some more, but I'll cut and paste those recipes in:

I was. I so wanted to vape tobacco's but can't. They just taste terrible. And it was over a year before I stand fruits. All I could vape was bourbon custards. Then I got a breakthru on some fruits. So I spent a good bit on trying juices just to see what I could vape. Then a good bit more once I started diy. I'm happy with what I have now.
Most juices are, at best, tolerable. Occasionally, one is actually good. The hardest thing to find is something that's comfortable to use day after day.

Nope these are handmade using an electric screwdriver and some toothless pliers and at lot of swearing haha

The key is to keep the three wires in a triangle shape to form the mohawk, tie some wire around both ends to keep them in place and then alien wrap the 34 gauge around them, keeping the shape, it's very very frustrating but they do work very well.

After 2 years of Cupacino byCapella at 1% I got Creamsicle and Apricot flavoring, also by Capella. At first, at I %, the creamsicle tasted terrible. But some of the flavor notes weren't there because of the low %. I took a few puffs a day and got used to it but why bother? Haven't tried the apricot yet.

A lot of people here must be retired. I'm old enough but my 62 hours a week is definitely not retired. They tried to ban vaping in the shop floor and I resisted and apparently successfully. But I did that by learning how to be discreet. If the device is small (Pico + RDA), there's no visible vapor, and I'm keeping to myself, people don't bother to react even if they notice.

62 hours a week? How do you have time to keep up on ECF?

Well, there isn't a whole lot of time. Today is a little different. I worked from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. then jumped in the car drove 2 hours to be a volunteer tour guide at a local History Museum. It's raining today so nobody's coming for tours so I can do some posting and reading.
