Since YouTube thinks I should listen to this song every time I put my playlist on random I’ll share it here.

They are lovely dogs Delores. Very mild mannered and gentile. They shed a lot though.

They’re wonderful, very loving, all the ones I’ve met. But dogs get sick, they get hurt. There’s no way I could lift one and carry it to the car if it needed to go to the vet.

I forgot how much I like my Swag and NRG tank. Haven't used it in weeks. I use the GT Cores CCell coils at 35w. It's a great little kit. Smooth puffing, and great taste. Thinking about the Swag 2. We'll see. I really want another squonker and rda.;)

Icepicks. L-R:
Early 20th century ice pick. I once scared off an intruder with it. It was my grandfather's, along with the ice screw in the middle.
Early 21st century ice pick, made by our own Icepickmaker84. Much sturdier than my grandfather's ice pick.
"Sharpie" ice pick. Keep it in your desk drawer in case you need to break up any blocks of ice that appear in your office.

The two setups are Keene with Apocalypse, and GEAR on Sobra.

You prompted me to get out my Ehpro 101 mod Dave. I love 22mm mods too. I need to get a nice little 22mm rda for it. Not that I don't like the Nauti, but it just needs an rda. I could put the dead rabbit sq on it, but it's rainbow, and I want to put a brushed ss rda on it. Besides, the dr sq has found a good home on a squonker already.

i love the looks of this setup. Goes together beautifully. I had bought the same atty for a couple of Provaris I purchased. I knew it was mtl but it was just waaay too restricted for me to enjoy. I ended up selling the Provaris. Actually I still have one left. But I sold the Nauti too. I kept one Ammit in black to use with a black stealth Procyon. Looks sweet but I don’t use it often. I keep forgetting that I wanted to use it. A smaller 22mm rda or rta works better for me. I thought I would enjoy an occasional MTL because I like to change things up but it’s just not very enjoyable to me.

I thought I had a pic of the black Procyon but I can’t find it. I also have a gold Procyon but I’ll eventually sell it at some point. Maybe even a P3 and definitely the blue 2.5.

I'm totally in love with the Wotofo Elder Dragon RDA. Great ventilation, consistently good hits, holds a lot of juice, easy single coil build. Works for all sorts of vapers, tootle puffers to pros.

Isn’t the Elder a great little flavor rda!? I love it!

I really like my ofrf gear, but I also really like my wotofo serpent elevate. Both really good single coil rta's. I think it's probably the gear you're asking about. Many people here have both of them though.

omg the gear is great but now I don’t use it that much since I bought the kelpie. The flavor on the Kelpie almost made me fall over lol!! Seriously! Plus it’s “airier” than the Gear which I like better. I have the Gear setup on a mod ready to go so I vaped on it this afternoon and I felt like I was using a tight MTL atty lol! Most of my attys are either VERY airy or slightly restricted DL. But like I mentioned somewhere else I like to enjoy various styles of vaping especially with different types of juice.

Fruits I like wide open airflow and slightly warm

Bakery flavors I prefer a restricted to medium restricted airflow and warmer

Etc etc you know what I mean. I don’t want to get stuck in a rut vaping the same way all the time. Too boring for me. That’s another good reason to make your own coils. Depending on the ohms of an atty will influence the flavor type I use in it.

But then - I don’t want to look too OCD- I’ll use any flavor type in any atty using any ohms lol! I like to surprise myself too ha ha ha :lol: !!!

That's kind of funny. The two Provaris that I still use are both 2.5's. One Ti, and one red/black fade.

The Elder Dragon must be a good flavor atty. I can taste my 0.5% of flavoring well. I'm not flavor oriented, and I only put the flavor in to cover the taste of the cotton/coil. So If I can really taste my juice, I'm guessing this is a good flavor atty.

But you know what RDA gives me the most flavor? The Apocalypse by Armageddon. If you don't have one, buy one or two soon.

I'm not a Demon Experimenter - by and large when I find something I like I tend to stick with it.

However, today as we are waiting in for stuff to arrive to equip our new holiday house I thought I'd try something I've often wondered about ... what would happen if I filled the juice well of a dripper with cotton as Zippo did with their excellent lighters and soaked it with E liquid?

Would this stop leaks if I forgot to hold the thing straight: would the cotton feed the wick tails or just lie there soaking and doing SFA: if it worked would it be worthwhile re-wicking the coil and leaving a long tail to fill the juice well: would it be worth doing at all?

Initial results seem quite promising but we'll see what happens as the day progresses ...

I once had a GP Spheroid that I filled the tank section with cotton. It wicked fine, but had a lower liquid capacity, and was one of my favorite atomizers setup like this. I'm interested in finding out how this works out for you, might be useful on an out-and-about squonking setup.

Get 'em while you can--the company may be going out of business soon.

They're closing out their Redemption RDA's right now. $10! These were $75 once upon a time. Jump on it before they're out of all of the colors except rainbow. I haven't tried it yet, but the Redemption appears to be almost identical to the Apocalypse, which is also on sale, but not for that cheap. The posts are different, and the wire traps are easier to use. They have them with a titanium cap and silver plated build deck for $25.

I do this on some RDA's that have deep juice wells. Definitely reduces spillage. Holds less, but less mess!

Here's an RDA that works well like that. The F Tower by YC Vapes--outstanding authentic 22mm single coil RDA--here's another one that seems to concentrate flavor well. I like it mainly for the cool, dense hits that you can only get from a 22mm or smaller RDA. The F Tower is 18mm, and $8.49 at Fasttech. Sitting on a CV1 Virtus, an outstanding 22mm mech from the paleolithic vape age--2014.

Doctor's appt today. Latest mobile rig is a Wake Mods Littlefoot RTA on an Aethertek VCO. The knife is an artifact from my past--but still quite useful!
Look at that knife! I used to smoke Kamel Red Lights on occasion, man it was tough finding those fresh.
