Good morning shinys! I stopped watching tracking info awhile ago but of course with all these recent orders I became inquisitive. Bad move. All the Shipping Notifications just show a Label has been created. Although something is in Islip Long Island Customs. I have no idea. Probably something boring like coils lol!!

So I’ll just continue to practice my patient way and be surprised when the hordes of boxes arrive. It’s less stressful for me. I get to damn anxious about everything that could go wrong but never has.

Congratulations to everyone who are actually receiving their Shinys. Post pics of course!!!

Here’s one if my 8 vape goodies from the other day. I couldn’t pass up the $1 boxes of coils (got 11 of them lol). The tank isn’t bad, I don’t do tanks usually but they’re nice to have when I just want to get caught up on my rebuilding. I also eat frozen dinners or delivery pizza when I do a decent clean in the kitchen.

I’m taking the Nord for a test drive. I hate to say it, but it’s pretty nice. Restricted dl. Power and AF are not adjustable, but they work alright as is. And you can check the battery life. 1100 mah, 3ml.

ETA: Colossal and Flow for size comparison

Morning shinies

Hey folks! Need some ideas on a single 18650 mod that you feel comfortable charging with usb port. Small as possible please, tx.

Vaporesso Swag 2 looks awesome, Innokin Kroma-R, Eleaf istick Rim-c, OBS cube X, Asmodus Colossal (port under battery cover though) or Tribeaut. No idea about their charging ability, but they are all pretty smallish

 

[Koolkiz]

Just a quick FYI on the Eleaf Istick Rim. I live in WI and the grip area is messed up. If you vape using this in the winter or leave it in the car for a quick run inside of a store the grip gets tacky. I will never buy a mod with a grip (grip is lamented with glue type substance).

If it's for immediate use, rather than long term stash, maybe look at a tarot baby kit ($13 at eightvape).

2500 mAh, quite compact, 5 - 85W, comes with an NRG SE tank (compatible with Baby Beast, Hellvape Hellbeast, GV Cerberus, multiple other heads).

a 28mm aspire odan along with some 0.2 coils to go with the hadron? yup. $25 for both on sourcemore ($17.68 for the tank once logged in).

Hows the Hadron holding up? Lots of complaints of failures in the Steam Crave FB group. I guess the YiHi board (SX490) they used is a typical sub par custom YiHi board. That's too bad I don't know why these manufacturers don't go with tried and true mainstream boards like the SX550J/SX350J etc instead.

I read the Dovpo Topside Carbon suffers the same YiHI custom foolishness.

The Dovpo Odin looks good and it is using an Evolv 250C board, never liked Dovpo products but at least the board is quality.

The Pico 75W seems to charge fine with the usb. Not sure of the tech specs there but a friend has been doing that for 18 mnths or so with the same 18650 inside.

Dual anything is pushing it.....there really isn't much room

There should be plenty of room for dual 3mm coils on that SV2 postless deck. I run dual 3.5mm 22ga coils on the velocity deck for mine and it has less room because of the posts.

When I mount the coils I take a jewelers screwdriver and run it parallel around the edge of the deck to see it the coils will touch the chamber side walls and adjust them accordingly.

This was the OG postless deck for the Supreme, totally stupid design as they put the juice wells parallel to the coils. Basically it was a Velocity deck without posts...

Now the Plus style postless deck (coil orientation rotated 90°) is available for it, should be a dream to build as the wicks now come straight out of the coil and down into the well.

I finally got a little knock on the door from the Asmodus delivery man today, a day late but I'll forgive them because it was a Very Special Mini Shiny Package

And 3 nice colourful drip tips plus another 30% off code to entice me to go shopping as a little bonus

That is one seriously nice looking hunk of wood Daniel!

here in the states the current administration is in complete denial regarding climate change ($$$$$$ = reason). Ignorant evil ers. We have citizens in the USA who claim climate change science is a hoax. Seriously dumber than dumb, don't care who I offend. Facts are facts. Silly me, I thought humans were supposed to care for the planet. <??????>

I get so dam mad at the idiots around me that spout "it is all fake news"

Sorry for being off-topic (and length), but had to respond to the off-topic, inappropriate name calling.

Climate change isn't a hoax- climate has always changed. Can either of you tell me the perfect temperature and cO2 levels, and when we achieved that? Healthy skepticism about human contribution to climate change is hardly idiotic, and not a denial.

I have another question: Have either of you done research on this, or simply accepted what you've heard from the media and politicians that claim it is settled science (the same ones handling the vitamin E acetate situation so well)? As is often stated in this forum, you would do well in learning, to follow the money funding much of the "climate science."

The claim that it is a scientific consensus, minus a few crackpot deniers? Here's a Forbes article that discusses some of it.That Scientific Global Warming Consensus...Not!

Take a morning sometime to watch a couple of videos by just a few accomplished, respected scientists, then tell me that they are 100% incorrect. It may not prove to you conclusively that we don't contribute to change, but it does prove conclusively how much we are lied to by our government, NASA, and all the science that has a stake in promoting climate change activism. Me- I don't simply accept things, but look for proof. And I'm still thawing from the ice age promised by the same people that brought you these:

Most of the vids aren't short "meme level" info (Heller's are the most graphic, easy to follow), and might not completely change your mind, but it could help prevent you from calling people that aren't all on-board with "saving the chil....I mean planet" at any cost, ignorant and evil idiots.

Sorry again all, for being off topic. But I didn't start it!

I've always charged my Pico 75W via USB, never any issues and I bought mine in May of 2016.

the pico was my first 'proper' mod and the one that got me of the smokes. highly recommended.

Just a FYI, Nords leak like a sieve and the juice will eventually get down into the board, causing it to not work or auto fire like on the Alpha Trinity. It's a Smok product, just something to be aware of.

Good subject to take to the lounge (or sandpit).

1st surprise vape mail came today. The kaees Solomon 3, doctor coil wick, and spare pods for the vinci x.

 

[AvaOrchid]

So how's that for matchy matchy. Tesla Steampunk in stainless/black and Elder Dragon in gunmetal. Gosh its lovely and the battery door I can see why people were complaining however I believe that it's designed the way it is with the give when there's no batteries in it but once you put the batteries in it creates a pretty strong door. At least so far.

 

[TrollDragon]

Found the old OG Zeus at the back of the cupboard last night, full tank of RY4 double and it's not bad, very well steeped to say the least. Should probably be rewicked from sitting so long, but its a great vape.

Pretty but looks like it's all a gold perfect match on my phone.

Ist pro for the Solomon 3 out of the box, comes with a flush fit 510 dt adapter. Hardly any of them include the 510 adapter any more.
