    So that is what I have been up to and in the picture, the traps are made of aluminum so that is shiny, right?
    Your heart is shiny.

    Sourcemore, Healthcabin, EcigMafia (pretty much only for juices), and I do keep an eye out for good sales on 3Fvape, EcigOne, and EvolutionVaping.

    I used to order from EjuiceConnect when you were allowed to take advantage of their sale codes and get free shipping over $100, but you can only apply one now which makes their "huge" sale codes negligible. It shouldn't cost $60 to ship a bunch of coils and a mod, and no 25% or 30% sale code is going to offset that unless you're buying their entire URL.

    Edit: R.I.P. fasttech, you will always be remembered.
    I miss FT for the selection they had and they were pretty good for the price.
    But I've come so far now with what I have, that there's not much I really want.
    Lately I've been buying tools and getting a bit crazy about all the nice things that could be good to have.
    I went a bit to long…..:

    One I was missing I get today,
    and then there will be three Wera Micro screwdrivers around 10 August.

    Howdy enablers :)

    "Quick" update on the Kayfun X:

    I've come to the conclusion that the Kayfun X juice flow closing mechanism is actually detrimental to the design. I think the only reason why I noticed is because I experimented with thinning down my rayon to 30%.

    Every time I use the JFC as it was intended, it's obvious that juice just goes right in through the o-rings (yes, the o-rings are fine, I checked), which is very noticeable with bubbles coming up as I'm filling the tank with the JFC "closed". I'm also confident that "opening" the JFC pushes more juice into the wells, thereby flooding the tank. Other users don't notice as because they have thicker tails, but I tend to think that my testing "proves" my assertions.

    Another confirmation of the above: Just opening the top and filling the tank leads to zero flooding, compared to using the JFC (which nearly always causes a degree of flooding). No need to turn it upside down or anything.

    Still a great tank with very good flavor, don't get me wrong, but the only real function of the otherwise less-than-useless JFC is to align the logo with the mods the RTA is attached to.

    In short, I'm a tiny bit less of a Svomesto fanboy now (though I still love my Prime and would LOVE to see a 24mm version). Now I'm fully content to branch out toward Stattquam's A[rise] and Steampipes' Cabeo. Don't know why, but I'm less enthused about the Aer anymore.

    Thanks for reading :)

    Congrats! I'm very curious to know if this device can charge on regular Qi pads.

    Hey Shinies, happy Friday! Hope y'all are doing well. I've been finding myself browsing for vape gear lately - I know, right? Crazy. I don't really need anything but then, when has "need" had anything to do with it? :greengrin: Is it just me or are the pickin's kind of slim these days for gear?

    I've mainly been looking for mechs and it seems like the mod makers were hit particularly hard by the pandemic, let alone some of the draconian laws imposed by governments around the world. Many of my favorite manufacturers are gone now. I guess I didn't know just how good I had it pre-2020. Stocking up when many of us did seems like a better and better idea as time goes by. Oh well, for now I have my old stand-bys.

    This stuff reminds me of a combination of strawberry Starburst and Frankenberry cereal. Like Saturday morning cartoons in vape form. Never gets old.

    What I'm missing the most from FT is its detailed product info, user reviews and product threads. I didn't know how much I relied on them until it was gone.

    So you people seem like the ones to ask: my equipment is starting to act a bit funky and wear out. Is there an 18650 squonker around? Failing that a 2x1860 mod? Failing that a single 18650 mod? I want to avoid disposable anything. I’ve got an aromamizer with some miles left in it that works well still

    Right? It was a place that the entire vape community contributed to that allowed such a wealth of great info to exist.

    There’s always the vandyvape pulse squonk mods. They come with an 18650 adapter. I think they released a mini version that is just 18650.

    Seconding the Vandy vape Pulse v2 and v3. Both are brilliant. If you want a smaller 18650 squonk mod, my favourite is the Wismec Luxotic Surface 80w.
    If your in the US they are really cheap here:

    Well that depends, do you want to be talked into buying a mod or talked out of buying a mod? :lol:

    There are quite a few 18650 squonkers available, but I'm not the one to ask about that. The only squonkers (and any single battery mod for that matter) I buy house 21700's, but they all come with 18650 adapters if that's the main reason you seek them. For 21700 squonkers that are still rather easy to obtain, I'd recommend the Vandy Vape Pulse V3 or V2, the Eleaf Pico Squeeze 2, or the Lost Vape Centaurus BF Squonk (some people are reporting the bottle holder falling out after extended periods of use - I've not experienced this, but I'm also not vaping on it regularly).

    Something you may want to keep in mind depending on which aromamizer you have is the 510 clearance for overhang. 18650's tend to be quite slender for that smaller form-factor.

    Have you considered an amazing dual 18650 squonker like the Dovpo Topside Dual V3 Squonk?


    The first releases had issues with the door, but these have the upgraded door already installed on them. I just purchased a second one because I love the first one so much. You're going to be very hard-pressed to find a better squonker for this price, but it is quite chunky.
