Tassie Devils are endangered not extinct:thumbs:
Alright Mr. Forsyth... I got a good one for ya! :D

I saw something on the Thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) some time back. Supposedly "found" again and still around. Any truth to that?

Looks like a cross between a hyena and a tiger. They were one of the largest known carnivorous marsupials.

There ya go... my Shiny NatGeo contribution. ;)

ETA: BTW I still love National Geographic magazine!

    There have been quite a few rumoured sightings of the the Tassie Tiger in recent years but nothing confirmed for about 50 years or so:)
    They make really good pets apparentlyo_O

    In the early hours of this morning, I built the Pulse 22 rda:

    View attachment 885991
    That's a 2.5mm id, 5 wrap 0.5x0.2mm coil and I gave it 7mm legs.

    I was very pleasantly surprised by this atty. I had no expectations of it at all, but it is actually quite a good little flavour banger.

    It has some quirks:
    The wick channels are offset, and not where you'd expect them to be. The well isn't overly deep - but despite this, even I couldn't oversquonk this rda :shock:
    Because it's fully encased in a chamber, with airflow tubes running down - it is almost leak proof.

    Good points:
    Flavour. That is a puny lil coil in there, that isn't long enough to get the most from the airflow. Despite that, I got awesome flavour straight away.
    Smooth. Extremely smooth airflow
    Airflow: Surprisingly airy. It's a tad airier than the Axial with 3 holes opened each side.

    Its competition: It's on the Hippo for now. I like it more than the Elder Dragon. But it has to be better than a NarCa RDA to stay there ;)
    I agree...I was exactly the same when I got mine. Surprisingly good and it was around the time that I was realising that I preferred single coil and that a reduced chamber size was one of the key points for a flavour banger across-the-board :)

    Hope you keep on enjoying it :wub:

    Busy, busy day. We got up very early to head up to the Ranch for a day of training for Dog. Angie has a massive indoor training facility. Dog needed it, was rusty and a little sloppy with "stuff". We got that fixed. I only have one arm bruise and that was with wearing a bite suit. Not too bad, it'll heal. Carli did great.

    Angie (trainer/breeder) was my Wife's best friend since they were kids, thus in my life too for 40+ yrs. Sent me home with a large cooler packed full of home cooked meals/bakery she made the last few days. Ought to last me for a while. She seriously spoils me. Dove into the chili for dinner and apple pie for desert. Totally awesome and I am stuffed!!! :D

    Good job Carli :wub:

    As suspected... after 2 emails from me asking what was happening with my order I got this:

    Thank you for your order from Vapeciga. We really value your business.

    However, we get the notice that the product HCIGAR VT INBOX V3 Squonk Mod with DNA75 TC Chipset 75W 7ml you ordered has been discontinued by the Brands.

    So would you mind changing the product?

    Anything else you want, we are willing to change for you.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Sincerely yours,
    Vapeciga Customer Service Team

    I made the mistake of wanting this mod too much and ordering an 'Available in 5-7 days " item.

    Never again.

    Hey does anyone have/use a DovPo MVV or MVV 2 mod? I'm thinking of getting one but wouldn't mind an opinion. Thanks

    Feck it all :( Maybe try a WTB post for the Inbox in the classifieds here :wub:

    It's survived another day and is still very firmly in situ ;)

    Good morning shinies :wub:

    Let's all head towards a really good day :)

    @BamaChris hi mate. I really enjoyed the website and as far as feedback is concerned it would be nice to expand on the sections dealing with the very complex world of BB accessories. I can think of lots of things but one that springs to mind is a really good list of bridges and the coils they support. The nearest I've ever got to that was an incomplete list on the Billet Box Bay FB group (they've changed their name recently and I've forgotten the new one:)) and this was extremely useful. I use the euc coils, and a few others, a lot but would use others if I had more info. Of course my first love is my RBA collection so I do use those mostly.

    Apart from the initial start-up info everyone needs you will be mostly attracting the experienced user and addressing the questions they would have would be a big driving force in your site popularity.

    Anyway that's my feedback for now and I hope that you find it constructive and helpful.

    Have a good day Chris :)

    I have the OG and like it well enough. Small but heavy, door doesn't wiggle, excellent fire. I'd get the II if I were to order another just because it is a bit wider so there isn't overhang with a 25mm. If you get the OG the silver or gold are wider than the colors and a 24 looks good on them but there is still a slight overhang.

    Thanks. I was looking at the II as well but didn't see the 25mm thing mentioned anywhere. Game changer. Looks like the II is a better option for sure.

    Like Daniel said there have been rumours for years but no confirmed sightings.
    Many well funded expeditions have been launched into the Tassie wilderness but no luck.

    Last one alive seen in a Tasmanian zoo.

    It certainly would be good news to find a colony of these beautiful beasts still in the wild.

    Stranger things have happened :)

    Thanks @charlie1465 - very good suggestion. There is much more I want to add and that is one of them. I have a draft where I was going to list all the "RBA" and what the ml capacity is with them installed in the Boro, but I couldn't find much on the ones I don't have (which is a large list). :) I will figure out how to handle that. Maybe I can enlist @HBcorpse to help with that part. I want to also add a 3a and earlier FAQ section for anyone looking for that info. I found a FAQ by @Vapian, but I think that user has moved on and I can't get permission to modify and add his info. :(

    It's a work in progress still, 1 month in. :)

    Thanks for the feedback!
     
    @Pigs you're the man. She's blowing steam, feeding juice and making flavor like she never had :thumbs:

    I am relatively new to Billet Box, but I had someone show me a trick that you are welcome to try. This method with the Xeta wicks well and you get way more juice before filling. Take the juice flow screws out (if you don't, you'll scratch the glass) and cut cotton about a mm from the edge and install it like this. I haven't had any leaking with 70/30 juice and I go longer before refills now.

    The Xeta has juice flow screws? That's news to me mate. Mine is full now so I can't go looking for it, but believe me i'm choking it as we speak to empty it...:D

    The 2 things where the arrow points. You raise them up to close the flow off for thinner juice. Most people have them wide open, which is how it comes by default. If you haven't adjust them, taking them out won't do anything to increase or decrease the flow (maybe a slight increase).

    Notice in my photo that they are removed. If you position the Xeta this way with them in, you will probably scratch your glass.
