Seems easy enough. I’ve never done firmware updates. Thanks!
well.....it's supposed to be simple enough....
for over a year I tried to upgrade my aegis legend but it just wouldn't connect....now I can't get my topside to connect...
typically, remove the atty, remove the batteries, plug the cable into the computer....then hold whatever buttons the mod needs and plug in the usb....hold the buttons until the device connects to the computer, then you can release and start the update.

I mean really, it is fairly straightforward and simple enough....so long as you have a cable that is for data transfer and your stupid mod connects to your stupid computer

    Could be the computer and not the mods. I had an external hard drive acting up and had a long delay before the computer would recognize my dna mods. Corrected the problem and now they connect as soon as I plug them in.

    I agree... have never done (or needed to do) a firmware update. Can't help with that because I use Linux.

    Hold the buttons? This is new to me. I've done upgrades for my Pico and Presa in the past but never had to hold any buttons? What am I missing?

    I connect my mods via USB to the computer and it recognizes them just fine. Launch the firmware updater, it does it's thing and done. Easy.

    It works even smoother with DNA mods and the software and firmware from Evolv. Same thing with the Arctic Fox firmware/software for certain mods.

    I never remove the RBA or batteries, don't need to.

    I can run you a recipe in elr @Fstop if that is what you are asking. What is the mg you like to vape? Do you get pg or vg nic? How much do you want to make? Have you stocked and are you ready yet?
    I'm stocked not ready yet lol. Want to make test batches maybe 2 or 3 at a time. 0 nic since I went throrgh withdrewal while waiting on transport to replace dead old batteries & 5w mod :D
    Have VG, PG, (3ml VG nic don't want to use now) some tobacco flavors pina Colada, toasted almond (think I have strawberry & berries.) I'd like to substitute vanila & carmel sweetness for hints of pina colada & or coconut not so sweet. So 60/40 VG/PG Ratio. Consider I don't want hi watt or plumes of smoke. Mimic A Light Smooth Cigarette :thumbs: I don't think I'm vaping 5ml a day. Just a little here & there:) or when I feel like "Just 1 More Cigarette" thank U
    I have tried several RY4s, the two that stand out were from Backwoods Brew and Ikenvape. But I only bought them because everybody was raving about them. Never liked any of them. Too sweet for me and a coil killer.
    That's the killer for me, too sweet! OOpsI got 2oz of TFA RY4. (Totally unrelated, Pro Tank needs air space between tank & Atty Base, so have to screw on tank some what loose?) Oh what a

    I think I might do the same in regards to buying more nic. That might be why there have been so many issues with people getting darker nicotine shipped to them. Travelling across the country in the hotter summer months can't be good for it.
    I bought more Nude Nicotine Armor v2 nic during their 4th of July sale. Had it shipped via FedEx 2 day air. It arrived clear just like any I've received from them over the years. I've never rec'd bad nic from them. I didn't need anymore nic but IMO more is always better.

    You make me miss my former therapist. I could talk politics and religion with him and he I got along just great!

    Dude, I will talk politics and like religion with the best of them but I work for a VA now. I can't state my affiliations in that realm. It really kinda sucks because I am FINALLY in a RED STATE and I WOULD TRASH talk with the best of them, but I really can't. I have to say stuff like (as long as folks like, are not arguing amongst themselves) "If I could agree with you, I might agree with you.) I can also fuel the flame like, by adding in fun stuff like the "amended CDC numbers and whatnot."

    I mean these guys are substance abusing vets, often with Chronic PTSD and like, a little COVID is not going to phase them.

    If I discuss religion I have to call it spirituality, but I mean there is a difference but you can call it that and be like you gotta dodge.

    It all started by me being like, "Look the VA says I have to wear this but I am not the boss of you so if you want to discuss amongst yourselves if you um, how you choose to wear your mask I'm not gonna argue with you, you are all bigger than me.

    Then they told me to take it off and I was like, "Yeah, the second I did my supervisor would stop by." LOL. But, I will take it off so you can recognize me, in case the hair isn't enough, and in that case, I invite you to gently encourage that person to change it because I have the best hair."

    They were plenty entertained. So was I, in like good ways and amazing ways. I have to say vets as a whole are one of my favorite populations EVER. Their stories deserve to be told they are hair raising, funny, awful, tragic and fantastic all rolled into one.

    It's late. Forget catching up. Not happening. I sent the "I have been trying to get 4 telephone calls added since early afternoon and here is what happened" email and like I think they like are gonna let me train. I ..... efficiently and like, uh, well I could probably shorten the email some but I had to say what the scheduling desk did/"did not etc. etc. But yeah, that is how you get more stuff. I was like OMG I cannot spend 5 times what it would take to switch the note, not with addiction they are the most non compliant population it is INSANE.

    The Sceptre coil is lasting as long as the Z coils to my surprise. I am still on the first one and I use it daily.
    There seems to have been a lot of interest in the Sceptre.
    I'd like to hear more about you folks' experiences with it. Good for MTL? Leaking? I like my VooPoo Air, but it leaks on and off, meaning I can't predict it nor figure out why.

    Glad to hear it. When I decide to get another liter or 2 of nic, I might look into them. I haven't opened the Heartland nic yet, so fingers crossed on it being alright.
