Got my YFTK Arise cleaned and running, good build quality, no complaints with this version of it, really like when turn to open juice ports, it closes juice flow, got the 4 hole insert in with chimney reducer, getting really good flavor, is a bit noisy though, but could be down to my wicking, will try wicking tighter next time.

Got on top another Grus I got today also, really liking the Grus too, not often I buy more than 1 of the same mod

Happy to hear you like it Nailz. :thumbs:

I've tried all the air discs in my authentic except the 1mm single hole (too tight for me). I'm currently running with the 4 hole air disc in mine and it's not noisy with or without the chimney reducer. I like mine best without it. It's not as quiet as a KFL19 or a Prime. It's more like the Dvarw MTL FL which is still fairly quiet IMO.

I think StattQualm did a superb job designing the Arise. I love how they did the JFC in combination with the AF. It's an easy RTA to build on. Great vape and flavor too.

Great photo BTW, cloudy and holiday festive. Makes me feel like I need to up my creative game with shooting photos. :D

    I agree, if they made it closer to the $100 mark, like Svoe has with the Kayfun's, then would buy a authentic for sure, but I can't justify nearly $200 for a tank.

    Unless it built/wicked itself :lol:. I’d pay a king’s ransom for that some days

    We had a party line when I was kid.

    Party line for the younger crowd...
    A party line was a local telephone loop circuit that was shared by more than one subscriber. There was no privacy on a party line; if you were conversing with a friend, anyone on your party line could pick up their telephone and listen in.
    Wasn't that when you dialed 0 or 9 a few times consecutively?

    If I was rich, I would have a butler. He would handle all of that for me.
    I have always wished for a vape fairy, someone that just follows me around, fills my tanks, rewicks when necessary. Changes batteries

    Oh man, that was the 60's. Sounds familiar but I don't remember. @Zazie do you remember?

    Didn't the UK and SA have party lines too?

    I remember my parents weren't so happy with me when I used to pick up the line and made funny noises at the other folks on our party line.
    I was a very mischievous kid. :evil:

    Surely I'm not the only one who enjoys building and wicking? My butler's kept busy polishing the gold fittings on my jet.
    Actually, I do enjoy it somewhat. But it would be nice just to say, "Alfred! Clean out and wash all my Dvarws. Then build and wick them. I want half the Dvarws to be filled with fruit eliquid, the other with creams and custards. Chop, chop! I don't have all day."

    I've ordered the SXK Kayfun 5 Square SE clone from FT.

    $14.95 SXK KF 5² Square SE Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 7ml (25*22.5mm(OD*ID)) / 316 stainless steel + PSU / 25mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping

    Got advice from SMT about the best Kayfun (or clone) to suit my preferred loose rdl vape. Really excited. This thing is a tall beast - 67 mm from base to top. No way I would ever have bought an atty this big before I discovered side by sides. It's 25 mm in diameter so will only fit on my Supbox - too fat for the Mixx. Would probably go nicely with a Paramour 21700 but don't have one

    I had this wish-listed, and I agree before SBSs it wouldn't even enter my radar. When I got a Mixx, I went through all the RTAs at Rebuildables | Le Petit Vapoteur and wish-listed any RDL or DL tall ones at FT. A Taifun GT4s was another one I got from there.

    And you may be able to fit it on the Mixx without the tank support according to this review: Aspire Mixx Review - A Collaboration with Sunbox | Ecigclick
    But whether you can easily adjust the airflow or turn on/off the JFC is a different story. Plus it's a lot of weight to put on the 510. Chunky Monkey is a much better bet :wub:

    I totally enjoy building and wicking. DIY too. I'm thinking there IS something wrong with everyone else. :D :lol:
    I enjoy mixing ,but I wait till the last minute when there's almost nothing left. That's mostly due to working a distance from home and coming home late. When I'm off I make the best of it. I was even wicking during lunchtimes.

    Last week I re-wicked while driving. Every time I stopped at a traffic light I continued till it was done. It felt awesome.

    Good morning EveryOne !!! :D

    It's a fine day for a Squeeze... via Venna.
    View attachment 922373

    I hope each of you has a great day. :wub:

    I'm still playing catch up from this morning :facepalm:

    I've been running my Squeeze 2 in TC mode lately. And of course I've been playing with the Arctic Fox settings.

    Finally found the right site to explain the PI regulator better. From what I understand, you only need to have this on if you don't use a preheat:
    Pi Regulator & preheat

    Anyway, it's been happily doing its thing and my Axial RDA is happy :D

    Nope! even if Luna got a bit better with her wicking, I'd still do myself. I find coiling and wicking therapeutic :thumbs:







    With the exception of the two times I left off a Dvarws' chamber cap :facepalm:

    That is a better PI regulator explanation. Thanks Ange. You rock!

    Ummm... someone, not saying who, has not installed AF on their Squeeze's yet. That person seems to be lazy IMO. Will have to slap him upside the head, soon. :lol: It's weird cause he has AF on a bunch of other mods. ;)
