    I've got a kit like the two above too. It's brilliant when you have a stripped hex or Phillips screw in a deck that my usual tools won't budge. I got mine as it went down to a 0.7 hex, but most of mine are 0.9 or 1.2mm. It has also seen a lot of use replacing phone or tablet batteries. And those megatiny screws make me actually appreciate deck screws!
    I got this:

    I like the cases that all of these kits come in. I opted for this one from Amazon for one particular reason, and the that's the flexible extension. The only downside to the whole kit so far is the insert inside the case. Had I known it's just a thin, flexible display plastic, I'd have spent the extra couple of bucks and got the 106, 126, 142, or 172 in 1 kits instead.

    The original set I got was a cheapy from Menards by Husky which I thought would be durable enough, but their tiny bits are trash. The Oria bits are solid.

    HealthCabin has this priced ridonkulously if you are interested in getting a 21700 boro device:

    Supposedly the code "cheapvaping" will reduce it to $24.xx but I have not checked it out yet. Also, the only color left is the Frosted Red. This is definitely a steal.

    Bear in mind, I believe this is the original AIO, and not the AIO.5 which came out to address the cracking issues around the 510 when the top nut was over-tightened. Vandy Vape sent a new chassis and doors for those that purchased the original AIO, but not sure if they're still replacing them for free. This is the Standard Edition which comes with the RBA Vessel boro tank.

    I was lucky when I shopped for mine. My old 6 piece crappy precision kit was in a cracked crappy plastic case. So a decent case was one of the first things I looked at

    So the outcome of trying to take the paint off of the gold Minikins. I finally sat down and removed the sled from an older pink one that stopped working correctly. Saw the inside electronics and said HECK NO. No way I could tackle undoing those wires. They are soldered in!
    I dug around in my garage and found a wire brush drill bit. I might take that to one of them and see what it does.
    Other than that I am left with gold Minikins and as much as I love Minikins, carrying one around with me is not cool in my book.

    Use them for at home vapes where looks don't matter. As much as I like the Smoant Battlestar, I dislike the yellow. Yet, before it got to the point where nobody was carrying them, all I could find was yellow. I enjoy the vape, but won't take it out of the house.

    Seems there used to be a "DIY for Dummies" thread.
    Does anyone know? I have all my regular threads in my watched list. I must have deleted it.
    I am looking for 1-2 recipes that only use 3-4 flavors.
    Link please if you know of it
    Look in the DIY a section for the Random thread. Sorry I can’t link it on my iPad.
