Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[Debadoo]

i grew up during the 70's and 80's

I grew up in the 60's and 70's so definitely not part of this younger generation. that's why I like plain jane vids.

Knot me. Din't grow up.

I like videos, but I always look for the shortest ones. They seem to get to the point faster. I also scroll through to get to the part I want to watch. I like videos because if I miss something or are not clear, I can pause, rewind, replay until I get it. Sometimes takes several replays

My audio equipment is crap, so I prefer the visual.


And CC, when it exists, gets hysterically funny.

Can you explain the difference. I just got my subtanks recently so I might well have the V2.

EDIT: The holes on the sides of mine are big. I haven't had any flooding issues doing the wicking like Rip trippers described in his video on building what I assume is the V1. The cotton ends up covering the holes on the inside quite well.

The only time I see anything resembling flooding I suspect is me filling the tank too full and some getting in the air channel. Right after I fill it I get a couple of drops that seep out of the air flow adjustment holes. A quick wipe and that is done with until the next time I fill the tank so it is not an issue for me really.

On the left is the V2, on the right the original. Original has small juice holes at the bottom, some have filed them bigger. And some have drilled side holes.

The original screws down, like a Kayfun. But it's very thin, and gripping it tightly to remove will deform it and make it nearly impossible to do so! Gentle touch to remove, and just seat it when assembling.

The V2 is held with a set screw - and don't make that tight, just snug!

(And no clue or recommendation on Tbec, just the first good comparison pic I found!)

Mine are V2s. SO to answer Legs question I don't do anything special and I do not get gurgling/flooding. I just wick it the way Rip Tripper and PBusardo did in their videos.

I am not a You Tube lover at all , i really hate watching videos and much prefer to figure things out with a pic tutorial . I like Phil because he's actual "normal" , being normal is a good thing imo , very rare these days though .

I just can't pay attention that long , they are wayyy tooo long . When there is loud music thats an instant no go as well , i think if your part of this current generation you will probably love these videos , i grew up during the 70's and 80's , you know when wearing a pair of pants around your waste was the "in" thing to do .

Just different times.

Welcome to the porch @herb ... always nice to have new folks join the group. I don't have the patience to watch most vid's from start to finish and some reviewers I plain don't have the time for at all. I'm like Clnire, I usually fast forward to the parts I want to watch and skip most of the talk and chatter.

Welcome to the Porches Herb! Have sit & stay awhile!

Have any of you used the Kanger subtank mini V2 rba deck and could you give me suggestions and thoughts on them. I was perfectly happy with the old ones once I learned how to use them and had no problems whatsoever. Just wondering about the large holes on the sides now and how you go about wicking so you don't get any flooding.

I've been rebuilding my subtank RBA( the one with the holes in the side) like I do with my kayfuns. I followed all the vids on how long to cut the wick, wet the wick with juice then make a waterfall by pushing the bottom of the wicking against the bottom corner of the deck making sure there are no rogue fibers on the oring. Put the chimney into place. I have a thin dental pick with a angled tip, I then lift a bit and push the wick against the side of the chimney from behind making sure its tight against the hole. So far in the several RBA builds between my wife's and my subtanks I've had no leaks and it vapes great.
Rebuilding the OCC coil is a bit different and you have to watch how much wick you cut cause too much pushed back into the chimney, you loose airflow and in my case I got juice up the mouthpiece but generally speaking its just as easy to rebuild the OCC coil as to build the RBA.

Yes it is HURT ME. Thats a heck of a deal. The new one that is coming out isn't that much different. I'm not sure how they are selling them at that price cause YiHi sets the price.

 

[MattB101]

me too, super thirsty yesterday and today. I wonder if it's cuz I turned the heat up. I always drink a lotta water, but it's just not quenching my thirst yesterday and today.

How's your blood sugar? When mine is off I get really, really thirsty.

 

[2legsshrt]

Man I don't need anymore but that is awfully tempting.

 

[2legsshrt]

Anyone want a great mod now is your chance. Use any wire you want and seem to last really well.

 

[MattB101]

Knot me. Din't grow up.

Me neither. 58 going on 15.

 

[2legsshrt]

I have heard that if you get yours at a cut rate price YiHi won't honor your warranty. IDK about that though. They went out of production in August.

 

[2legsshrt]

Man you just had to show me that Mike.

Too close to Christmas to spend that much on myself. Did email a link to Doree though.

 

[2legsshrt]

I wonder if they are an authorized seller. YiHi will not honor waranty if its not. But I have never had a problem. My oldest is almost 1 year. I notice they don't mention the warranty except that it has a warranty card. I could've saved $160
