Love the swirls!
Sort of reminds me of one of my favorite Van Gogh’s....

Spot on. :thumbs: But I think we are in for a scorcher summer this year where even the night time lows will be over 100 for months.

I got my fingers crossed for a mild summer this year. Last summer was brutal, made me want to move North. Then the Polar Vortex happened, and made LV Summers look not so bad. I can deal with 110°+. Don't know about -60°
We lived in Boulder City for a couple years and there was a lot of those little scorpions there. Used to find them in the house sometimes. My son was a baby back then and I was always worried about them. Hate those things.

    Got my Royal Hunters last night. I installed a 1.2 ohm coil I had lying around. Right now I'm running it at 14 ohms on the smallest airhole with a regular 510 drip tip. Probably not the best way to use it but lots of good taste. Lots of leaking too.

    It's the first really new style of gear I've got in a long time. I just got it because I always liked the way it looks. And they were 55c each. Now I have to figure out how drippers work. If anyone here is familiar with the royal hunter I would love to hear some ideas. Or general advice on dripping. I checked YouTube and it was all about huge Clapton coils and suchlike. Don't really want to go there.

    Bot my Royal Hunters yesterday. I am running a 2.0 coil, regular DT and about 12w. I haven't had any leaking except once I over dripped it. I put about 5 or 6 drops in mine and it seems fine.

    That was probably the best deal I ever got except for contest wins lol.

    This is me going overboard after I got frustrated with filling the Z-Biip from the 100ml bottle..

    The good thing about Shinyitis is there is no item we don't have at home for our vaping pleasure... haha so true

    I know I have a few of those somewhere but can't find them. That slit membrane thing is pretty aggravating even with a unicorn bottle. I noticed the bottle they include has a finer tip on it than what most commercial juice bottles come with. I did find tilting it while filling did help.

    How do you like it? Aside being tall & tippy?
    It's not bad, I'm not sure if the wotofo profile with mesh is the best rda for it....you kind of have to do several squeezes at a time to saturate the wick...and there's been a few times when I squoze maybe a bit too hard and thought for sure it had come apart....or where it like vacuum locks lol and it doesn't get undepressed.....but I think that's more the tightness of the profile's mesh with the cotton stuffed right there on top of the squonk pin, more so than it is a problem with the squonk genius....I've noticed a few times when I squonk the juice is coming out between the top of the adaptor and the base of the atty....usually just unscrewing and retightening it fixes this lol and sometimes when I'm trying to remove the atty to fill the top cap of the adapter comes off with the base of the atty.....but na overall i'm enjoying it, my aegis is getting used a lot more, I did have to bump my watts from 20 up to 25 though (had to do that when using the innokin lift syphon tank as well) but na if you find it on sale it's worth getting to have
    but lol yeah it's a bit taller than I thought it would be and does make a mod top heavy, on the aegis it isn't too bad since the 510 is centered...
    although while i was typing this decided to take off the aegis and put it on my cov tempest.... the base of the adapter was stuck in the 510, ok figured i just over tightened it....got it off and put onto the tempest but then it wouldn't read the ohms and the base was completely stuck, i did not over tighten it that bad boy wouldn't come off, had to turn it upside down remove the top portion of the adapter and use pliers to get a good grip and turn that sucker....well it's now back onto the aegis where it probably won't come off of again :p I will say that no juice leaked out (ok very little) when the bottom part came loose and then when I had to take it apart i still had about half a tank of juice in there and it didn't flood out the top of the rda being upside down so there's that......not sure why it wouldn't read on the tempest, but it's working just fine again on the aegis and put all back together, no leaking....a few scratches on the base, oh well that was inevitable.....
    since it is three pieces (not including the silicone sleeve) this is going to be an issue when trying to remove the atty and/or the entire adapter.....

    not sure about specifically but as far as dripping; 10 - 20 drops depending on how much you very, as soon as you feel the flavor is starting to fade add another 3 to 5 drops if you don't think it's completely dry yet...

    I hadn't tried using the included bottle. I really was trying to avoid switching over my juice into a different bottle, but I finally got frustrated and gave up.

    I only ever bought like two of those needle caps, and they do seem to go reasonably with the 30ml unicorn bottles I have, not a perfect fit but it's doable... but for filling it's working perfectly.

    I may get some ldpe bottles with these caps on eBay.. perhaps you should too, we run into this type of thing periodically..

    I was just frustrated and I remembered that cap purchase .. and decided hey that will work.. lol

    What do I need to do to keep the stab stable in this humidity?
    Wood doesn't react well to sudden changes in temperature and about the worst thing for it is to dry out completely...it should always retain a bit of moisture :)

    So I just ordered this and I know NOTHING about except that everyone talks about how great they are lol!

    I don’t even know what battery it takes- I’m sure someone can tell so I can order a couple if I need too

    Thanks

    PS I guess my shiny drought is over :banana: !!

    Stab is short for stabilized, the existence of the resin in the wood (aka what the wood is stabilized with) makes it nearly impervious to variances of humidity if done well.

    In short, there is nothing for her to do as the wood has already been stabilized short of keeping it clean and well cared for.
