The Templar clone is OK. Not fantastic but not bad. Had to take the switch apart and clean ll the threads on the locking ring and such. Works nice now. But as with most tube mods the venting is pathetic have to drill 3 1/16 holes up near the top for venting.
Heck of a deal for $5. Does 18650, 18500 and 18350. And a short ring that can probably be used as a kick?

I will make sure she will always have what she needs, especially since we have talked about the fda regulations. She would end up going back to smoking if she couldn't vape and there is no way I would want that for her.
Sorry you were feeling bad, hope you're much better now! that's fantastic about you being able to make juice for you and your mil!!!! Next we need to get you building coils. If you can DIY building coils will be easy with a coil jig.

AOL didn't even know the were still a player.
they were the only one I really knew about when I got online in 96, have kept my same email addys since then. I don't use aol software, just go to aol.com and sign in.

I do miss being able to grab the cute "smiley's"
is it cuz you're not on a pc, cuz I can still grab em. just right click and click save as. Good to see ya too!!!

We got ours in today's mail, too. I just had my first vape on a mech mod and DINT BLOW MYSELF UP! :lol: Oh, they're so purty! :D And for five bucks each, I say it's a WIN!

wahoooooo!!

Have to drill some holes in it though it has basically NO venting.
jup, that's why I won't use a tube mech. with my REO I have a giant squonk hole for a batt to vent through should it ever take a notion to do so, but the spring will collapse before that most likely.

You know now that I found the fix for the VTCminis I wish I hadn't sent them back. I don't know what to get now. I could get another RX200 and 2 Cuboids. I would feel really stupid telling them to just send those back to me but thats almost what I feel like doing. I don't know about these cuboids. A couple guys have them now but so far no reports on how they work. What to do What to do. The Cuboids a just a little bigger then the mini but definately heavier about twice as much because of the 2 batteries. I would feel really really stoopid saying just send them back would probably make them happy. Plus give them a good laugh.

Or you could just wait a week or two and they'll be obsolete anyway, the way things are flying. :)

Thanks for reminding me. I'll tell Rich. Nah, I'll most likely forget, but he'll read this later and find out anyway. :)

I just got my $5 Templar mod from Vapor Bank. Using it in 18350 mode now.
And talk about blow yourself up I have an Efest in there! :evil:
And a subtank on top :shock:

I was looking at the little 18350 tube for this Caravela clone and thought what a cute little thing! I think my tank would be as big as the mod if I was using that, so I can imagine how big a Subtank would be. Don't let go or it'll topple over, right? :lol: (I have a picture in my head of a pencil that's been used down to the nubbin, and the eraser is bigger than what's left of the pencil! LOL!)

I'm sorry I'm laughing at your widdle baby. :p I'm not laughing AT it, actually, I'm laughing WITH it! :D

Well. Darn. I'm down to the last ml of juice I bought at the last vape convention in September. It was called tropical illusion.
So now I've had to make something to replace it in my rotation.
I'm gonna call it Tropical blue cherry because it has wild cherry for zing, blueberry for smoothness, and coconut for a dash of sunny days.
But gheeze. The original 80 ml cost me $15.
And this very expensive replacement I've filled the empty with?
$3.98

Yep. DIY is soooooo 'spensive.
:lol:

Have they already sent the cuboids? If so, just order some more of the ones you sent back, you'll have both, and they likely won't even notice.

Oh, hehe, I've been doing my own coils since summer. I was able to with a coil jig. Thanks for the tip though! Those things are wonderful. :D
oh that's great!!! I never wanted to diy or build coils, but the regulations forced me into it! Now I'm very glad. I still need to stock up on nic. Hopefully we can get some stuff outta storage and sell it when the weather is a bit better. I hate yard sales, but if I can make enough to get stocked up with about 8 liters of nic, I'll be happy!! One or two more derringer clones, and I'll be all set with my Reos!!

oh man that sounds wonderful!! Mind sharing the recipe? I've got one that I love with blueberry, coconut, mango and I think something else, maybe pineapple. Don't think I have any cherry flavoring yet, so many say they have issues with getting a good cherry, which one do you use?

Really? I don't see why not! Want me to turn on an extra light for ya?

Tricks to find stray metal parts:
On a tiled surface - Use a flashlight placed on the floor such that the beam skims the floor surface.
On a carpeted surface - If your mod has magnets holding the battery cover slide it along the surface of the carpet. If not possibly use you vacuum cleaner with a coffee filter taped over the suction hose may work.
Good luck

I know I just read somewhere here someone (DH?) was having problems with a Kayfun V4 and airlfow, but I'll be dipped if I can find anything anywhere!!! So, I'm going to ask....

I got 2 V4s from Vapor Bank (plus a bunch of simple drip tips - I don't know why I love those things!!). Anyway, today I cleaned, dried and built one. Watched several videos on disassembly/assembly/building. Everything went fine, but when I go to vape - no airflow. Nothing, nada. I took it apart several times, removed the air flow screw. Assemble piece by piece and check. With the build and bell, nice airflow. Tank on - get airflow. As soon as I put the top cap and a drip tip on, nothing, nada, like I'm sucking on a plugged pipe. Tried several different drip tips, still the same. No drip tip, same. Nothing.

I put it away for now, so frustrated. Any suggestions (especially the magic - you dummy! - solution), greatly appreciated. Good thing my hubby left today to do some shows in SC and VA, cuz I never could have spent the whole afternoon fighting with this thing. Wake up - ya gotta make money!

Good laugh or not, if you want them back, ask for them! You are ripping yourself apart trying to decide. I say if you want them back, get them back. You now know the fix, you liked the mod, go for it! I really don't think anyone will laugh at you....

I might have to laugh at him if he does not get them back and the complains because he didn't get them back.
Might....
