I guess you get what you pay for.
Was it that much cheaper from fasttech than from a domestic vendor?
We sometimes get what we pay for and sometimes get a faulty device instead.

All domestic retailers were out of stock at the time but yes - much cheaper from FT.

I'm currently rocking a set of A1 flat claptons clocking in at around .28 ohms. They're not real pretty but they are pretty rowdy :D

And thats prolly even with the Gerry Harvey tax...

- The Gerry Harvey tax is a 10% GST charged on online purchases under AUD$1,000 (used only be AUD$1,000+ items) starting in July 2018, that we pay because of a fricking whinger bricks and mortar mostly whitegoods and consumer electronics retailer named Gerry Harvey here in Australia who whined and convinced his mates in the government to impose a tax on online purchases. So if you guys dont see us flock to sales online overseas like you do, this is usually the reason, we get slugged an extra charge on every online purchase now....because of one entitled whiny retailer who hated people getting competitive online prices, and wanted to try and maintain his near monopoly on bricks and mortar. and so because they have no policies beyond 1950 and theyre a bunch of corrupt wankers, the government pandered to him. So overnight on July 1st 2018 the online shopping landscape changed here and eveyrthing got more expensive....

Yeah, i think that explains it

Good morning.
Little one woke up face covered in blood. Apparently nosebleed during the early morning hours that's started again before I left. Mommy is playing nurse since she's complaining of pressure headache.

Joy.

Morning all!

Aw, poor kid. I was prone to nosebleed as a kid. Miserable. Hope it resolves quickly.

Yep, me too. I generally run A1 and SS claptons in all my series builds. I get much better flavor than I used to get from round wire and it's easier to build higher. I save those pretty, quick ramping Ni80 aliens for lower builds in my mech tubes.
Never tried aliens I can’t make those.

Do they ramp up quicker than fused Claptons? I hate how fused Clapton’s drain the battery so quick and how I have to hold the button for a few seconds to get a good hit. Dual parallel coils seem to work best for me

I have that RBA head, but I bought it separate because I got the tank with a kit a couple years ago. I can tell you that that rba can sit on the same shelf with some dern good rtas. I ain't lyin.

Vaporleaf has the rba for 8 bucks. If the tank is cheap enough, it's worth it for both. Shipping will factor in of course, but maybe you see something else you want too.

I do think it was sold at one point with the rba option, but I haven't seen that forever.
I did communicate with a company they came back and said it was wrong on the listing and we have changed it :( they did have the big baby Beast without the lights which does come with an RBA on most listings but they didn't have a listing at all on it so I went a completely different way and I just got a dual coil RBA for my tfv4. I also have the X baby and it's RBA. I just thought it would be nice to have that tfv8 style that is so popular plus I have a ton of coils that are compatible if I wanted to go that way. I ended up getting another RTA too so Im overall happy. I probably will end up getting the tfv8 big baby Beast that has the RBA in it if I can find it for cheap enough I do actually like the smok tanks with rbas I feel like they really are different than most of my rta's. For some reason I find an RBA to be less fussy than the RTA

Does anyone still use the uwell fancier RTA RDA combo? I think it's really really pretty and I picked one up for $8 from ivapesupply. I've never used it before but was wondering how the flavor is I'm fairly certain that I'll be able to wick it and I watched a few reviews on it that seemed pretty positive. But you can never really really trust YouTube reviews and all of this is very subjective. I was thinking that all that stuff in the middle of it is going to cause the flavor to diminish by the time it gets to the mouthpiece. I also don't really understand how the vapor even gets to you since the coils are on the bottom the tank is on the top LOL I would love any tips or tricks and experiences that anyone's had with it

I would have thought so too. But the reason I asked was that when I looked at the classies here there haven't been any bought/sold/wanted for years.
I think that is only because people are holding on to them. If you post them ask as much as they are worth.

I have those but don’t use them often lately. It’s great as a tank, nice draw, great flavor, if you can keep it from leaking. I found it to be a max vg only kind of tank. Not my favorite as a dripper. The cap comes off easy enough, which is a good thing because you pretty much have to take it off rather than just drip though the drip tip. Tbh I didn’t get great flavor as a dripper but I didn’t play around trying to tweak it with, because I have a lot better ones and it didn’t seem worth the effort.

My car was just hauled off to the collision place because a stupid person backed out of his driveway last night not leaving me any choice but to plow into him. I hit my brakes but to no avail. Late night run for blood pressure meds (8;45 pm) and the roads had been wet for days. As I am talking to my insurance this morning and reading them the notes from the Georgia State patrols paperwork I see that same stupid person had a car that had not been registered in a year! Yikes, hope his insurance is good. I do have uninsured if not.
