Good afternoon Shines.. imminent warning to set one’s clocks back to gain that all precious extra hour of whatever one chooses to do with it.
Have been on an RTA kick as of late. Fatality is my go to for flavor and ease of building. Plus a wide array of additional choices for tank size and shape.
However, a week or so back I was introduced to the Scottua "tank"V3 so, as luck would have it, an additional one made itself available last evening and was quick to scoop it up.. that makes 3 so I am stopping the search for more until the V4 comes out soon.
The creator is a master machinist which is evident by the precision and quality of the device.
Highly recommended to check them out.

Enjoy the remainder of your weekend each and everyone.

Big thanks to @Skunk! for the hex-ohm wire recommendation. Stunning flavor and very easy to wrap coils, simply superb

 

[AngeNZ]

I like the nugget too. The Pebble looks really nice. I also like the looks of the Miniminikin

Oh the Asmodus mini minikin is just awesome looking. Especially since it takes an external battery, even if it is only a wee 18500

Awesome! Glad you like it! That wire is great for high wattage. AVS is all I really use anymore. Everything I have gotten from them has been top quality.

I didn't know it was 18500. That's cool! I don't think I have any of those anymore.

The kit comes with an efest battery - but yeah using external batteries in it is a huge plus for me.

I am an MTL vaper loving my Zenith on regulated mods.
Nonetheless I am looking for a mech strictly for stashing.
I have read up on mechs and firmly rejected them but feel I should have one around for the future dark age.
Nolamel was kind enough to recommend an ice spider, which looks in my price range. Would love to see any other recommendations and and rba to go along. I do know not to use tanks on these.

Can someone help @Philabos out please....y’all don’t want him taking advice on mech mods from me!!!

It’s absolutely perfect for my PWMs

In all honesty high quality regulated devices should last for years. I used mechanical mods for a long time but don't much anymore. They are a bit different than what you are used to. I would recommend getting a mtl rda and get used to building it on a regulated. I got some great recommendations from the folks in this thread earlier. They recommended the Ammit MTL. Vapefly Galaxies, and the ETNA. I have heard good things about the Berserker. If you are stockpiling then rebuildables are the only way to go. You can get 200 ft of 28ga. wire for about $20 and 500 ft of Cellucotton for about $15 which would be a lifetime supply. Trying to get a lifetime supply of premade coils would cost a small fortune. Once you are proficient at building, then you can look into mechanical mods. I would suggest a mechanical squonker. They are much more convenient than a tube mod and a dripper IMO. I have dropped my Pulse mod numerous times. Some of the falls that it has taken would have trashed the bottom button on a tube mech but with the pulse I just put the battery back in, put the doors on and it is fine. It is plastic and nearly indestructable. There are quite a few semi mechanical devices out Luxotic Asmodus Luna and the Armor tube mod. They will protect you from a short in the atty. They are good to learn on and get a feel for mechanicals

Liion Wholesale has the Enook Alien E4 charger on sale for 11.99 introductory price. I bought one today, less than 30 left.

Thanks very much, outstanding. Did not even know any mech came with protection.
Actually I build right now on the Ares and Siren 2. Not my favorite pass time but knew I had to learn.
What would you recommend for an RBA?
I usually run at a robust 12.5 watts

I was on here earlier asking for recommendations for MTL RDAs for my wife. I am not familiar with those type of attys. Any of the ones I use you would not like. Slightly different vaping style.

From their suggestions:
Vapefly Galaxies
Geekvape Ammit MTL RDA
ETNA
Vandy Vape Berserker

There are others here who could better help you find the right RDA. I have very little experience with MTL.
There are more protected unregulated devices out there. I just mentioned the ones that i thought of off the top of my head

I have a tough time building with thin mtl wire. Thick wire is much easier for my eyes. if I think of any other devices I will let you know. As far as tube mechanicals go Try to find one with a 510 pin. I haven't seen many newer ones with them. Maybe somebody else knows of some.

Sorry to hear about your loss. What is the iSwitch? I'm wanting a new game. How is Fsllout?

Yes I really liked the Luxotic and haven't administered last rites yet.

The iSwitch is a little single cell mosfet board from Big Al's Mods.

You can get them with or without the tactile switch soldered on the other side.
Has low-battery detection, 3 click on/off, battery voltage display via the on-board LED.
Maximum recommended current is 40A, so it can drive builds down to 0.09Ω with the right battery.

It's has an N-Channel FET so it fires the negative instead of the usual positive connection. This makes mounting it in a metal enclosure a little more difficult as the battery ground cannot touch the case or the 510 connector like in most metal case mods. You either need to insolate the 510 from the case or the battery ground.

Fallout 76 is still in Beta until Nov 14, if you've played any of the Fallout's then this one is going to be a little different. Take place in West Virginia and there are no NPC's in the game, just robots and other players. You can play solo, team up co-op, do some PVP or bounty hunting and a ton of other stuff. I can't wait for the release.




They say Red Dead Redemption II is great as well, it will be my next play after Fallout 76.

Any recommendations on nic salt? particular brand, certain flavor, ect?

 

[VapourFlavour]

As a Canadian I don't think I can be of much help here, but if they sell this in the U.S, it is amazing! I'm not a nic salt vaper, but was given a pod system to try with this company's Verry Berry and was blown away. I've since played around with some of their other flavors and they are all impressive.

Morning shinies. Back at the apartment today. Training with my supervisor.

Clothes-- Old Navy did not work. I ended up at JC Penny's but they were having a large sale. I am a size 1 in juniors. I think I am going to make a conscious effort to EAT more, even if it's just adding in 2 more protein shakes a day (I have a hard time eating daytimes due to my ADHD meds).

All my hard earned weight gain ruined with the move. I'm pretty sure all the activity of the move contributed, but I am also pretty sure that like, learning new stuff burns a Ton of calories. Sigh.

I was 100 pounds for 5 feet 8 most of my life. Didn't matter what I ate, I barely made it past that. Misses clothes were huge, and 16 year old clothes were more my thing. Thankfully I either worked at a factory or at home so I didn't need grown up clothes. My sailing suit (that goes on height more than sizing) was so big two of me would fit inside.
And one day, as I was going into my 45s and taking Zoloft, I started gaining weight. Little by little, took me 10 years to reach my actual 145 pound weight. I have hip displasia so that's a lot for me, I should be easier at 120 but I just can't stop eating now.
Forget about weight. Enjoy your low weight and eat away. I can present you with a lot of Tasty videos to make tempting stuff.

I've been running the SMM serpent since I got new glass on saturday. So an update again to whomever I was talking to about it 9000 pages ago. Replaced the seal in the top cap which fixed my seeping issue. Wicked it short and thin, its feeding quite well. Kept up with me last night during some stressful night time foggy rainy driving.

I have a hard time with night driving. I have mild nyctalopia or night blindness. I cant see at night. Add on rain and fog and reflective wet surfaces headlights and highway speeds..I chain vape.

It did start to leak a little towards the end of the tankful though. I resolved it by upping the wattage. It seems to run richer at empty and more lean on a fresh fill up. Havent had that before.. Thank you for side airflow though, takes a decent amount of juice for it to just start pouring out. I'm still partial to top airflow rtas though. I've been thinking about the geekvape zeus dual. I like the looks and havent tried a dual coil tank yet.

Again! More than leaking is condensation. If you hit it too hard too fast vapor will condensate inside the chamber making some condensation seep through air holes and down. That's why I keep the air closed when out of use. I'm using the absolutely wonderful quad fused clapton coils that came with it, and will be ordering more when I have a little more money in 15 days or so.
I can't write english today! Sorry!!!
