Good morning shiners! So no acting out by Luna into this morning. I think this one is the good child. Maybe an exorcism will help the evil one. Too bad the priest died at the end of that movie, seemed like just the sort to tame any devil and save me from opening the thing up and doing actual electrical inspection work.

Oh, Lunatics, isn't the little light supposed to tell me the battery level? I had a green light but an anemic cool vape and found the battery was down to 3.6V when I popped it out to check what was up. On my regular mechs I find under 3.8V very noticeable and I was ready to label this as having bad voltage sag, as I thought the green light meant a full battery. I know, RTFM but that's only my last resort. Perked right up with a fresh battery.

@stols001 that's a dreidel, sorta like a top. A Dremel is a very handy small drill with about 800 attachments to do all sorts of precision small jobs. Couldn't have run my reef tanks without one to customize all the stuff that needed customization.

@Mordacai the evil child ended up a satin finish but the resin part ended up super shiny. I'll be very happy getting this one to a satin finish to make the colors pop without going for a mirror gloss. The cyanoacrylate clear coat scares me as I can just see the mod, half my furniture, and me, all stuck together for eternity. And no, I won't use acetone to free myself, it'll ruin the mirror finish I worked so hard for.

Unfortunately that Luna is my last shiny for a bit. Found out my daughter's GI problems have flared back up, so another endoscopy for her this Thursday. There's goes the budget. But I'm well stocked and will just have to deal with retail pricing instead of these sales in a few weeks. I'm sure I can still hunt down some sales and clearance stuff then. At least the carts are already full and will only need some tweaking depending on price changes.

FYI, the new Chinese duties are in effect. Retailers will be passing it along as it's getting pretty tight for the manufacturers to subsidize it. No idea what will happen with individual orders coming in. All depends how the administration plans on implementation. I expect they'll be going after the big wholesale stock coming in to provide what they think is pressure rather than worry about individual items, but it is something to be aware of.

@Eskie

So sorry to hear about your daughter. Those gut things go chronic, what a drag!


I had to check but Luna cuts off at 3.3v, which of course I’ve never had happen, because the vape becomes anemic far before it gets that low.

The other blink warnings seem to work though. I rewicked an atty on a regulated mod, checked resistance, everything looked good. Took it off and put it in a Luna and got the blink warning. Put it back on the regulated mod and found a loose leg. I think I knocked it out of the post putting the cap on.

I do like those protections. Gave me the bit of confidence I needed.

I finally did get that insulator off that stupid squonk pin. Took half an hour, a few drops of vg, a wrench wrapped in electrical tape, and a tiny screwdriver (luckily I have a few of those lol) but I got it in one piece.

I like my new Kbox Mini. My experience with Vape NW was great, fastest order fulfillment and shipping ever.

    Hey guys...while i'm thinking about reviews i'll be releasing one about the new Odan sub-ohm tank by Aspire....Here it is on the Aspire site....review coming in a few weeks after testing :)

    Aspire Odan Tank - Aspire® Official Site

    @Eskie I hope you can get to the bottom (no pun intended) of this soon. You definitely have to be proactive sometimes to make sure the docs are crossing all the T's and dotting the I's. I hop you get it sorted this time :)
