Came across a box of old tanks and can't figure out what some of them are. These were bought before I started saving all the boxes. Pita to keep them but turns out they come in handy for repurposing. Also found a box of different stock coils I don't recognize at least half of them. Then there are all the loose prebuilt coils I haven't a clue what wire they are. Made myself throw away the jar of used coils finally at least.

I keep all the glass from attys I throw away, haven't labeled a single one.:facepalm:
Well. If it helps. To quote my dear departed mother in law. “You never know.” One day you might need it.

also known as “hoarder’s mantra.”

(MIL was *not* a classic hoarder, for the record)

Lady, don’t put off glass packs :) That would be the end of me.
Oooooh, it may be mine already :lol:
Some tanks have straight and bubble. And came in bubble wrap :eek:,unmarked. I’ll mark each one with a sharpie, then store them as a group, one baggie per tank. Well, that’s the plan. We’ll see what reality brings to this cage match!

I have too, and orings. Have a shoebox of unknown misfits. In my naivety, I thought they would fit other tanks in the future :facepalm:. The metal tanks I have no idea about. Not nautilus like I thought.

Mine were all made between Christmas and NYE. Second one just cleared NY customs. It was one of the later shipped. So, 2 through customs,4 left in limbo, one waiting to catch a plane ride. Hoping that means it’ll not get snagged up by CNY! Mine aren’t even that exciting... lots of small purchases so I could order as it came in stock. Orings, extra glass, DTs, and I think some wire maybe? I shouldn’t be so impatient lol. Does at least give me something to track, shiny or not!

I just received a few packages today from overseas from that time frame but I’m still waiting on a few more. Hopefully soon for all of us!!!

Im so glad I’m kinda nerdy about keeping ALL of the boxes with all their goodies inside them. Sure it takes up space and if I lived in a small condo or apartment I probably wouldn’t be able to do that. But I’m cray cray about organizing things lol!!

Well the mad dogs and CS120s made it to Chicago and my impulse buy of 3 ijoy kantana mods are at the sorting center in China. The vinci x has been somewhere between here and there for about a week.
My vinci x is in limbo too. Looking like the 510 adapter and rba head will beat it here.

I used to throw my packing slips away. Not anymore, what with all the stocking up...but I’ve got so much now, I have to Ziploc bag them up with labels the minute they arrive. I can’t tell a KMRA(?) RDA from a Flave just by sight alone and I don’t want to have to unwrap them all when I put them away.

I’m thankful that most of the RBAs I have their model etched on the bottom otherwise I’d be lost as to which many of them are.

I just found a new love...this 'antique' Avocado is blowing me away. Got it diled in with a 0.44ohm dual flat wire coil. So smooth and flavorful.
Sometimes it pays looking back, instead of staring forward at the new stuff :thumbs:

Is it a 24mm or 22mm?

My Kayfun 2019 (clone) is reading “no atomizer” on my mods. I’ve been adjusting the bottom pin screw and cleaning the connectors to try to help it connect. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. This is not a tank I want to have long-term problems with (I have multiples of this version). Any models (clones) y’all recommend?

Wish it would get here; vapesourcing has the limited edition for 29.40 right now. For thirty bucks tempted to take a chance I'll at least use it eventually and snag another.

I made the mistake once of washing a bunch of tanks at once, all the parts and pieces nicely separated to get good and sparkly clean. Took a good part of the afternoon to get everything back together. One black tank looks suspicious like another one when you’re trying to match decks to tops lol.

Do you have a 510 to 510 thingy? Used one on one of my 30w istick when its pin was wore out. I'll try to find a pic on ft.

I do, and several - for this very purpose, yet I am too myopic in my thinking to have tried it. Bless you. :wub:
