Not life saving literally maybe. But as someone who lives where a good handyman is hard to find, your skill set is absolutely essential to those of us who can’t do all that for ourselves.
They are in high demand round my parts too and I keep mine a secret because he is already busy and I do not want him taken from me. Cheers to a good handyman :toast:

thanks for the response. figured as much. just wondering if there are 810s that can concentrate the vapor better. my new drip tip is okay, but the feeling a bit odd, short or thick or something, can't really wrap around it without taking in part of the tank.. speaking of which:

SHINIES! guess who wicked his first rebuildable successfully!! just got the Elevate with wotofo quad cores and 3mm cotton!! went out to meet the mailman__

question, just curious, know there's a lot more options but i've noticed the 3mm's by wwtfo are becoming rarer adn all that's out there is the 6mm thick_ how big are the coils that take these?
There's no better feeling in The Vape World then to build and Wick your first RTA or rda congratulations well there might be a better feeling and that's to get a shiny in the mail lol especially if there's a free gift inside like a really Nifty drip tip.

    6mm cotton? mesh, probably. congratulations on your first build. quite a feeling isn't it?

    oh right, makes sense, the mesh rta is their latest.

    quite a feeling indeed_ i can taste again!
    already vapes thru 2 full bubble tanks and set the smoke detector off. pity these coils are meant to last, i feel like tring to install again. def gonna try spacing the coils next time.

    only problem with this shinytis thing is i'm stocked up on a lot juice (flavours for base and nic) and i'm realising there's only a handful i actually like. most just weak, others real interesting but i can't vape for long before overdoing the flavour, like the anis and tobacco stuff. haven't tried evertyhing though, hope for the best.

    heeyyy! there's gold in stock again at wotofo! what gives? bet theyre all also in u.s. warehouse_ stupid vape panic, they bought everything over there

    got 3 or four deliveries over the last week, quite the high. there's one more mail to go, there was a flash sale on coils for the old Cleito from over a month ago, like a 70-80% drop. i realized it was still my favourite stock coil DL for flavour and cloud vying with nunchaku 2's mesh_ i wasn't sure then abt rba's and i realized i could prbbly better experienced to prevent the leaking issues. only i think it's stuck in the delivery center because i asked CB to change the address last minute, been 'processed in delivery center' 3 times already.

    am i gonna starting ordering just for the shiynis afters??!

    the vinci x was working fine with the 510 plate and another tank will reside there but I'm going for high mg stealth pocket rocket.

    There are very few ADV juices I find. But those other ones are good for a little change, here and there. The weak ones, and the ones I only like for a short time, are what I tend to use with a dripper.

    I almost ordered this mod but didn't want to add another size battery to the collection.

    I was spoiled because there wasn’t anything my husband couldn’t fix.

    I’m fortunate though that my brother, BIL, and nephews are all handy and willing to help. I can do the stuff that’s not too heavy or too high for me to reach. And I do know a guy who can do some of that stuff for me. It’s really been an adjustment having to rely on others and I doubt they know how big a deal it is or how much I appreciate them.

    good to know it isn't just me_ for a while there i was suspecting the base. maybe i'll try mixing the weak ones with 50vg base next time, shouldn't leak in a top air rta i'm hoping (?)

    It's harder to get a top airflow RTA to leak it's even harder to get an RDA to leak you really have to put some effort in that LOL that being said if you do end up with leaking there are ways to prevent it often you can flip the tank upside down before you close it off completely. So if you do get leaking just come on and tell people what your device is and someone will have a suggestion for you while you build up your wicking skills. I have primarily bottom airflow cuz I find the taste is better but the only RTA that I have that really is a bugger about leaking is the beserker and you can easily stop it by either bottom filling it or after you filled it you put the top cap on but you don't screw it all the way down and you flip it and then screw the top all the way on. Usually when I get leaking it's because the pressure in the tank when I put the top cap on. I don't usually use 50/50 so I'm not sure if my advice actually applies to your situation. I guess it being Center would make it more likely to leak but if it's top airflow you should still be fine

    Good morning shinies :wub:

    Hi Charlie. Sorry to send this so late, but been wrapped up in my own family matters. I sure hope you are doing well, and this last treatment is it. Sure is a beautiful place you are at for your treatments. Wouldn't mind just spending a week there. You are constantly in my thoughts bud. Can't wait to hear it's all over and done my friend. :wub:

    wow, that berserker trick, i knew the upside down and other general tricks, but no tank-specific ones. it took longer than it should have for someone to say btw 50vg leaks more, when i was having problems with stockcoil-DLs.. but it was here of course that i got the golden advice.

    i got a a few 100mls of 50 base i got when i thought i'd be mixing a lot more salts for my MTL. consuming much less than i'd imagined i still got at least 9 unopened ready to vape 10ml salt juices. so thought i could make use of the 50vg base to better the flavour of the weak flavour shots. i could always just strengthen the percentage.

    don't tempt with that bottom-air-flow is better flavour_ my order was barely confirmed before i started looking for a mtl rta and i already got a hurd crush on the brunnie__
    ...
    orfrf gear is stil available at wotofo! that's the best single coiler right? oooh there's kelpie too! wait gear comes inn gold too?! that fits the gen button! _________ you were supposed to help with my current vaping experience Orchid, not make lust for more! i abjure your shiyne-spewing keyboard!

    Hey just because I find the bottom airflow to have a little bit better flavor a well-designed top airflow is going to have great flavor too. It all depends on how they have it situated. I usually buy fairly cheap stuff so sometimes it hasn't been well thought out. With a quality top flow device the air flow is going to come in the top but then be directed down and underneath the coil so it shouldn't make too much of a difference. I know how hard it is when you're first starting to figure out what you should get. I think at the beginning it would have been better for me to get a top flow device with no leaking and sacrifice a tiny little bitty spec of flavor. You don't want to be discouraged by leaking I have this weird thing where the first time I wick a rba I do it perfectly and then from then on I get worse until I get the hang of it LOL it's like beginner's luck. But in one of the well-made top Air flows you're not going to sacrifice that much flavor if any. I have a top airflow RTA that has better flavor than my bottom Air flows so it is individual to the device

    Hi virm. I have the Serpent Elevate and use 70/30 and 75/25 in it with no problems. I love this little RTA:wub:

    Good morning shiners! Not much going on around here. But I am looking forward to the weather this weekend when we’re supposed to get up to 60 degrees. Too bad the next two days are 32 degrees with snow squalls. :confused:

    Good morning Eskie. This has been a weird winter for us too. Going to be 70 both this Saturday and Sunday. I wish it would just stay cold so my body can acclimatize. We've had some freezes, but mainly staying in the 50's and above. Hoping you have a great day my friend.:)

    YES. Having a handy husband ruins you forever. Mine could transform a closet into a very organized work of art in half an afternoon with real wood, sanded and finished.. Then go out and fix the pool pump. Next day tear about the furnace and a/c and clean and put it back together. The only thing that he was not good at was cars.
