Stevie is okay she’s up by my truck . I may have to catch her after hours out front when
Gees the suspense is killing me. Every morning when I fire up this phone I think today is the day. When I saw the two pics, I thought you did it....they're at your home. Come on Ricky....make my day ;)

Stevie plans to drag this out for an entire season of reality forum.

I got a new shiny today. $25.00 at my local shop. It's the Fogwind Vapor Alliance V2 rda. I really like this rda a lot. Great flavor, and blows a hella cloud. By far, my highest wattage vape. So smooth and warm with the af closed about half way. Got some kanthal claptons on it at 0.51 ohms. Wattage 160, but feels like I could go higher. Gotta get a new mod for it. The Shogun drives it just fine, but she belongs to another addy. Like to find something nice with dual or tri 21700's.

    A very nice dual 21700 would be Two Thor 2's strapped together;)

    I stand corrected :D

    You and me both :D

    I've always stuck the coil where the coil guides go, in every other RDA, RTA and RDTA. But the airflow on this Krma RDA is so wonky - it comes in high, slopes down, then sticks out into the deck. I was getting good airflow on the side of the coil, but nothing lower. And after the advice this morning, I investigated all this very scientifically with a BBQ skewer ;)

    OK guys..... Quick report... Had stem cell harvesting this morning and they've got enough so all done and back at home.

    My bloods are showing that my body has started to make it's own platelets and haemoglobin so I'm really happy. Just need to relax and enjoy Christmas until the final 4 week refracting process on the 2nd January..... Hoorah :)

    I am over the moon to see this :wub::banana::wub::banana::wub:

    in true kiwi fashion, I'll celebrate by taking the mickey out of you ;)

    @NolaMel ... Mel, try this page. There are several build photo's, good tips and info.

    You need to unscrew the bell so your wick is visible (see photo on page).

    http://www.levapelier.com/en/vapor-giant-mini-v2-by-vapor-giant-vapor-niko/?cn-reloaded=1

    To me it looks very very similar to building the old Kayfun lite or KFL+. Your VG Mini looks like either a v1 or v2. A 0.8 ohm coil is fine.

    Yep, it's similar to the Lemo too.

    The bell, like the Lemo or KFL, doesn't need juice holes. In the VG Mini juice is fed to the wick through the wick cutouts.

    Let me know ... :)
    I need some help with this vapor giant mini tank.... I’m getting intermittent dry hits. Closest other tank I can compare it to is the lemo v2. The bell has no visible holes for juice to get to the wick/coil. I had to drain the tank to look at it. Have a simple single contact coil at 0.8 wicked with rayon. What am I missing here??? It’s driving me crazy because I know it’s something simple. EDIT: wick at coil is dry, very bottom of tails are moist. I had 50/50ish in there View attachment 856381View attachment 856383

    @NolaMel see the slot at the top of the bell in the two pics on the left? Unscrew that so it's raised like the photo on the right. Your wick will then be visible and feed juice to the coil just fine.

    What you had was like the pic below with the bell screwed down tight and thus no juice flow.
    vapor-giant-mini-v2-par-vapor-giant-niko-vapor-5.png

    Good luck!!! :)

    ETA: If you are running 50/50 try unscrewing it 1-3 full turns like the photo.

    I do the same with most of my other RDA's that have a cutout. For me if the AF is not hitting the bottom ~1/3 of the coil I raise it until it does. It does make a difference. :)

    I got vapemail galore today. 4 x Samsung 30q, 200ml nic base (freezer stash) and:

    A lil bottle of VG, and enough Mineral Oil to polish every single Shiny members Lunas, even including @DeloresRose 's!!!!!!

    In my defense, it was the smallest bottle they carry :D

    Yep, huge difference. Nearly gone through another squonk bottle today with it :lol:

    And just when I thought I was nearly done with RDA buying, I saw this:
    $17.90 SXK Hussar 2.0 Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - 316 stainless steel / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

    but i think I might go for the Ulton version you have coming:
    ULTON Hussar II Style 316SS 22mm RDA w/BF Pin/24mm Beauty Ring - Silver

    Well I rigged the trap with her favourite foods and I seen it was down just now so I ran over all excited and found a dam bird trapped in the trap flapping around!

    Sigh let it out and try again
    Oh no! I just knew you had her!

    sorry I’m very anxious for her, you and lol and many of us!
