Good evening everyone! I’m behind several pages so I need to catch up on everyone’s vape Mail.

I received a vape mail package but haven’t opened it yet. I’ve been sick in bed but I’ll get to it before the night is thru!

I setup the red Topside yesterday and it doesn’t squonk. I read of several other people having the same issue. It maybe that an O-Ring is missing or not properly aligned. I checked the tube has a V cut the and everything else was setup exactly like in several videos. I’ll check the metal component at the top of the tube tomorrow to look at the O rings. I’m too tired to deal with tonight. I was so disappointed because it’s such a nice mod. I have a silver one too so I’ll see if that one has the same issue as well.

I hope everyone has a good night!

So, what makes this different then the Vert?
It has full matte black rings that have a different font for the engraving and an updated switch design. Still comes with a set of stainless rings but they have that new font for the engravings, too. The switch doesn't feel any different, it's just been redesigned so the inner firing pin is non-adjustable. Apparently, some of the pins on the original Vert were backing out and getting loose during use. I've never had a problem with my original, I just wanted that full murdered out look.

Please send that drip tip to me right away. Please & thanks.

Congrats. Did you decide to get the Dotshell?

I'm going to admit it's grown on me. I was wrong and admit it freely.
DT is a cheapie from vapeciga. Less than $2!! I ordered a whole bag full of different ones, less than $28. I think 18 or 19 DTs. I’ll look and see if I got two like this one and let you know.
Vapeshell I’ll order tomorrow (new $$day, aka payday). I’m on the edge of ordering another dotaio, but the price of the rba is making me think twice. I’d love two.... maybe someone will not like theirs and put it in the classies. A girl can hope lol!

I've got 2 from capeciga that landed yesterday. Guessing later in the month.

Let me know if you want to void the warranty and replace the button. I know a guy.

    well, it seems all the cool rodents are taken so i have no idea.. i tried embracing porky's suggestion, but apparently ecf don't take .png avatars.

    edit: oh look it worked!! i'd got used to the green_ donno



    i looked it up_ evidently that'd be der Wurm.
    was just the sound that came to me when i signed up :blush:

    wait! do pigs eat worms???o_O:shock:

    i got three rta tanks upsidedown with wickless decks on the side_ even the stock coils are burning quickly. which one-a-y-all puts a hexes on me?!:-x

    I love the new face :D


    RTAs: buy some cotton from a vape shop somewhere in Germany. Throw in a pack of cotton bacon prime if they stock it, along with your fave shoelaces. I find cotton bacon prime so much easier to wick with.


    If you are getting dry hits in your RTAs - you need less cotton in the coil. Even thinning won't help, if it is still to thick in the coil. I'd try wicking with around 2/3 of other cotton you normally use, and see if that works.

    The one time this happened to me - it was because I had a blind 510 screw in the RDA instead of the bf 510 screw

    But that was more a newbie error than anything else ;)

    I got vapemail today:

    vauban.jpg


    The Vapeasy Vauban clone RDA - I'm not gonna recommend it to anyone just yet, as the first batch is only shipping with one of each airflow insert :cry: I've submitted a ticket to 3fvape

    I set it up with a dl insert and a mm smaller rdl insert. The airflow/draw is fricking perfect. It needs smaller id coils, will suits me even better. Flavour is there - but needs some tweaking. Which I'll do in the morning :D

    I have well um a few topsides and have never had one not squonk.
    It can happen though im sure.

    I have questions...

    Other than the atomizers 510 that has been mentioned that is.

    Does the bottle press very easily with no atomizer? If so does it gain resistance when you cover the 510 pin with your finger?

    Sounds odd but also pull the sled and blow thru the 510.

    We are here to help when you feel better. Which I hope is soon!

    You’re not helping, ya know!
    Tell you what, figure out how I can, in a super economical way, get both a dotaio and a dotshell.... and I’ll send you this snappy DT as a ty :lol:
    Otherwise, you’re just spending my money!
