Maybe I’ll play guinea pig and order a prince. Haven’t tried the bb rba in the Peacemaker yet. What I need is for Aspire to drop the nautilus rba they hinted at a while back

The Baby Prince and Baby Beast take the same Coils/RBA, the regular TFV12 Prince is much bigger and not compatible.

4mm ID too

That's sheer madness.....

My rebuildable collection so far. I know it can't hold a candle to most Shiny's here, but I'm happy so far. Not done by a long shot though. Wrong thread to be a part of for that.

You NEED a Steam Crave tank in that stable, either a Supreme V2 (25mm) or Plus (30mm). Keep it in mind though, everything else will gather dust when you do.

Happy Saturday, shinies! Hope everyone is doing well. Nothing too exciting to report here.

Just another cereally scientific Saturday in the foggy undercroft at 1st Episcotral Church of Vape.

Well it looks like the mesh deck for my Aromamizer Plus didn't make the jump to light speed and is sitting in a mailbag at the Guangzhou airport in China...

My Kennedy vindicator 21 looks great with this clone Kennedy RDA. The mod is the real deal but I didn’t want to spend 100 dollars on a RDA

Axial enjoying the lake . Glad I grabbed a few more and a pile of accessories for them. IRL the cap is dead-on match to the Topside. Considering getting another dovpo.... black, black and gold?? Choices, choices...

Good Morning Shiny People

If it weren't for the pin in the 510 leaking, the little Luxotic bf squonker would have been one of my favorites. I have some I plan on fixing when I get inspired, then theyll be reliable. Sad I don't have any other mods from them to compare quality, might be just this one that they screwed up, I'm not sure.

I've got 2 favourite Wismec mods - the Luxotic bf and the Noisy cricket II. Among my most used mods and powering still after years of hard vaping. The Luxotic leak is inexcusable but after fixing just goes and goes and both mods hit hard, look good and feel great in the hand.

 

[Pigs]

Has anyone had issues with their Dovpo Topside (single) before I order another one? Or have a better suggestion? I have plenty mechs, and I love the Topside minus the propriety bottle sled.

Never had issues with mine. Does what it's sposed to do and the spare bottle and sled with cap is a good inclusion.

 

[Pigs]

Yeah I can do with some of those to. Where did you get the bottles from?

You might want to get spare replacement bottom covers. Pretty easy to lose.

Looks great! Are there any good deals in Topsides? I have a black and a blue.

Nothing lower than mid 50’s, in a quick search. That black and blue caught my eye... trying to decide if the blue axial cap would match it

morning all!

what alcohol do you use for cleaning new stuff? i did it with dishwashing soap but it gave off a taste. i've just been rinsing with water and hand soap, didn't clean my zbiip at all_ how does one clean a pod/cartridge?

might recall i had bought 20 coils on a slash flash sale for my old cleito before i got into building. i got refunded after the shipment got stuck/seemingly lost for over a month. i had settled, with the endorsement of @AngeNZ, to forgoe the novelty of having some coils for future whims, and having moved into building and having a decent stock for 2 other stock tanks, seemed not worth it even if i had the chance to get them. but now the shipment arrived after all! what do you all think_ send them back or tell CB to recharge the money and keep'em?

in other news, i've coiled and wicked my first BF rta; orfrf gear. i used the coilology coils and the cotton that came with them (muji prbbly)_ with elevate i've only had success with wotofo coils and fancier shoe-lace cotton, and since many ppl use both muji and coilology, i figured there's no reason they shouldn't work. idk_ i've managed to wick it so that it doesn't leak or spit (some liquid does come out when i drag hardish), but idk, either the coils or the cotton, i'm not sure, i mean, the tank is supposed to be a better vape than the elevate so... i guess the question is that, knowing that many say theyre just fine or perfect, do you find that cheaper cotton and coils like coilology and muji are not as good as the more expensive counter parts (in my case COTN and wotofo cotton and coils)? i only have 2 packs of cotton as such and i'm hesitant to buy a big pack of cotton because, however cheap, i don't want to buy something i can't use and have it lying around..

should i be dripping and firing the cotton more to break it in better? is there a trick to comb it more without thinning it too much? should i get better cotton (something puff or Sheseido if they are better) or are shoelace and other types of packaging from branded vaping manufacturers always going to be better and i have to stick to that rather than cut my own?

anis/blueberry flavoured clouds your way and happy saturday(?)!

I get better results with cotton bacon prime/Cotn lumps/native wicks/kendo gold, than I did with muji cotton pads. By better results I mean - no taste, longer lasting wicks and better juice absorption. So the extra price difference was no problem.

Those are the only cottons I've tried however, so far

 

[Letitia]

Native wicks platinum is pretty good. Little fiddly though.

 

[virm]

Wick is as subjective as everything else vape related. Use the 15% off code at ft (CNYRAT15) to order a few varieties of wick and see what works best for you.

Good morning virm. As @Letitia said, everyone's vaping experience is subjective. I can tell you what has been working for me in the past. I am also trying new coils and cotton now with great success.

This is what I have been using with no problems. I like the Firebolt cotton for ease of use. The Coilart Aliens have also been very good in my experience, for both single and dual build decks.

I have recently switched to new coils and cotton, just to try something different. Built my Augvape Occula RDA last night with new coils and cotton, just to try something new. I like the new coils just as well as the ones I have been using. I like the new cotton better. It is shorter than the Firebolt, and doesn't waste as much cotton. It is also more absorbent than the Firebolt. The build was great. Probably will stick with this combo for awhile. Can't wait to try in my RTA's.

I get 2-3 wicks from the COTN and will get 3-4 from the firebolt I got in the mail yesterday. Only get 2 from the wotofo agleted but it performs well for me.

evening all.. been more or else ok with COTN and Wotofo wicks. i'm guessing firebolt would prbbly be similar. only think i should ultimately get to cutting my own from a more direct source. just not sure with..

"more or less ok" might be overstating my current status. still getting a dry vape_ not dry hits per se, just unsaturated... i think it's the coil choking the cotton--thing or i'm not priming/prime-puffing right again. basically whether i get the wick right or not is a matter of chance and, not knowing what it is i am experiencing i don't think i'm learning antyhing. i'll keep hoping for a lightning bolt.. or is the saying light bulb?

btw do leave rta's to saturate a while after wicking?

I like the Kendo Gold best. Tried many cottons and I agree about the Muji pads - got a big bag but it's only really backup. Yet to try rayon though and I think I know what @TrollDragon would say
