My Dovpo College dna 60 SBS from Health Cabin was just delivered. I ordered it on Oct 7, while the Chinese were still on holiday. They shipped it on the 10th. It took 5 days from Hong Kong using HC's cheapest shipping method.

That :censored:ing Rocks! :headbang:

It's a new record for shipping time from any of the Chinese online sellers (FT, SM or HC) using the cheapest shipping method.


ETA: I now have three College's to choose from for my rta's education. I've named them Stanford, Yale and Harvard. ;)

The entire 510 assembly loosens by itself from unscrewing an RTA to fill and then screwing it back on.

So it took about a couple minutes for the 510 assy to loosen on it's own. No RTA was ever screwed on too tightly. I mean, who does that?

I took my Paramour apart to inspect the 510 assembly. The reason it comes loose is the "genius makers" never properly secured the 510 assy to the frame of the mod with a lock washer. That is the problem.

Fixing it will require unsoldering a wire or two, installing a proper lock washer and resoldering the wires. I could fix mine, if I wanted, but instead tossed it back in its box. Doubt I will ever do anything with it, like you I have many mods to choose from.

A customer should never have to fix a poorly designed mod. The designers should have designed it properly in the first place. They did not.

thanks for your detailed explanation. I’ll be better informed when I contact the vendor for a return request.

I think a lot if these design flaws happen when the designers cut corners to try to make something cheaper, smaller etc. In this case maybe they didn't use a nut on the 510 assembly to keep the size down - it is tiny for a 21700. Who knows why, but it's a flaw no doubt.
I've had my Paramour in daily rotation for many months and it's still ok.
I like two things about it: one is the hand feel and the other is the extremely good battery life.
@Fidola13 if you decide to open yours you make get one of the ok ones. Good luck.

Hiya fellow vaperinos :)

At home and wanting to go to bed early but i decided to watch BSG again and now i am hooked and about to start season 2 so who knows when i will go to bed,maybe i will pull an all nighter...been ages since i have done that.

Vape wise i have spent like 2 weeks without changing coil or wick on any RTA,used the attys i got for review purposes and let me tell you what a relief,felt good not have to worry about changing the cotton.

But today my 2nd Kriemhild coil started tasting a bit funky so decided to put a new coil and some cotton in my Juggy Mini clone.

While looking for a screwdriver in the bottom of my vape stuff related box i found a small 10ml bottle of Honeydew liquid...no idea where i got it from thou.

So anyway i threw caution to the wind and decided to give it a try,never tried melon before...think its the only fruit i haven't tried.
Expectations were low but once i got my Juggy up and running WOW!!!

I actually like Honeydew flavored aroma,this one is also fresh so i get the best of both worlds...it's not overly sweet but leaves me with a nice after taste.

It's expensive thou (it's liquid not just aroma) so i have to look around for some Honeydew/Fresh aromas but it's good to have another flavor to my very limited flavors of e-liquid that i actually like.

Can't afford the liquid i am trying at the moment since it is way out of my monthly vaping budget he he

https://www.sinhumo-sevilla.net/idm...al-possessed-frozen-series-by-idmx-juice.html

But dang is it good,bottle is gone and i am craving more :D:D

Well anyway hope you are all doing ok,being safe and staying healthy and sending you a big hug from Sunny Spain.

P.S: I downloaded a movie for my pops yesterday and watched it with him and now i can't get this darn song out of my mind :lol::lol:

    So I’ve got a lot of vape mail in the past weeks as part of the continuing buy one more ______ and then I’ll be set for life. Of course I’ve got enough to start a Vape Emporium l!!

    I’ll start with these 2 stabwoods from Stabwood Mods UK.

    The 1st is a Casper by DPM and is a squonker with single battery. I haven’t set it up yet but the mod looks perfect. Has a great finish very professionally done. Great hand feel!!

    Next in line is an Ultroner Victory. Another single battery mod. And looks well made also.


    View attachment 959699 View attachment 959701 View attachment 959699

    So both mods are a hit with me. I’m looking forward to trying out the Casper squonker soon.

    Both are absolutely gorgeous :wub::wub::wub::wub::wub:

    I love the Johnny Cash version



    I grew up listening to country - thanks to Dad, and the Kenny Roger's version was the one I heard the most. But he also loved Johnny Cash and listening to that version, brought back lots of good memories.

    Interesting they use slightly different words in the song....got me thinking. Is the singer allowed to change words from a song they received from a writer?
    They can but they still have to get approval from the writer. If the writer doesn't like the changes they can stop the record from being released. Regardless, the writer gets the full publishing royalty.

    There are interesting stories behind Johnny Cash's version of The Gambler.

    Little known tidbit, Kenny Rogers was not the first to release a recorded version of the song. Bobby Bare was.

    From Rolling Stone:
    "In April 1978, Bobby Bare released “The Gambler” on his LP Bare but it slipped by almost unnoticed. Two months later, on June 16th, Kenny Rogers, who was enjoying crossover success with hits including “Lucille” and “Love or Something Like It,” recorded his version, which is, of course, now considered the definitive rendition of the tune and one he parlayed into a series of “Gambler”-centric TV movies."

    Wait for it.... Brunhilde without the looks....

    Buy Authentic Ambition Mods Ripley MTL / RDL RDTA Atomizer Gun Metal

    Looks interesting. What does everyone think??

    Have a good day :wub:
    I think I like it. Kinda industrial looking, which I am attracted to. I'll look for some reviews on this tank. I am strictly MTL, needing a really tight draw, so I have to be careful what I buy. I like the idea of Brunhilde MTL, but just can't get past its look I'm afraid. I was thinking of getting one but got a BP Mods Pioneer instead. Looks entered into that decision, too, lol.

    Here is the first ever recording of The Gambler (by Bobby Bare). I prefer it over Kenny Rogers version. IMO, it has a the "proper" feel all the way around and better vocals.


    ETA:
    Kenny Rogers version is pop.
    Johnny Cash's version, love it, but the tempo is too fast.
    Bobby Bare's version has the 'vibe' and is freakin' spot on.
