I put the battery in another mod. I should have tried a different one in the Boxx. I’m going to let it sit a few days now that I have it apart. At least there’s some chance it will work with a different battery.

Aha, so no putting that tank on another mod. One wound (or premade) to the same resistance should be good to test the battery "strength", then. But, same (funky ;) ) battery feeding a higher resistance coil might work fine.

Yes, after a suitable air dry, maybe just try a freshly charged battery? And, as you mention, the coils you put in may have gone south, or been there to start with...

    I’m curious enough to try to tomorrow. Different coil and battery. That might not work but I have to know.

    The coils are the same strength. One is mesh which is what I had in it.

    No winding coils. It’s a Boro tank that takes Nauti coils.

    So, do you think I'd like that Centaurus?

    I don't think you would. I suggested a squonker to another person on the forum once and thank God we lived in different states. I think she wanted to punch me. Then again, to come think of it, I think she wanted to punch me on many occasions.

    Doesn’t look so big there. Still not really thinking I’d like it.

    in a week or so I’m going to try one last time to get into dripping. If I can drip then I can squonk. No drippy, no squonky.

    Is everyone sure the Boxx is protected? I took my Boxx out of service. It has a problem. When taking a draw it cuts out in a couple seconds and the display says low battery. After a couple seconds the display works right again and shows a charged battery. Then when taking another draw it’s a repeat. Impossible to vape like that so I took it apart and letting it sit awhile. It’s no fault of the battery, already tried that.
    It sounds like it may be a battery contact issue. I would clean the "+" contract with a pink eraser on a #2 pencil. Also clean the "-" point on your battery cap. Check and clean the threads of the battery cap and mod. I had similar issues with Pico Squeeze 2 and the threads had some black crud on them. Doing the above resolved my Pico from just shutting down and restarting after hitting the fire button.

    My beads for the rosary that I going to make for myself are in Ft. Worth, finally. I should get them tomorrow. It won't take me long to actually make the rosary. I already have the sterling silver findings. I bought those from Etsy and they came quickly.

    My mother in law messed up her phone again so brought it over for me to fix. Also she hadn’t had the new SIM card installed yet to switch to t-mobile so I did that too. Her mail app magically disappeared.

    I got the Oxva Univapo in the mail today for review. I was hoping for the silver/blue but got the gold/blue instead.

    At least it’s part blue. Mod? Pod?

    It’s a mod with a tank. Also there’s software to download so you can change settings on the device from a computer kind of like escribe does with dna mods.
