You lie! You want it and you know it!

Yep, I lie

I may have looked for a SE locally, and asked when they will be getting more stock in

 

[Rob B.]

Definitely time for bed for me. See you on the morrow

Have a good nights sleep my friend. We'll see you in the morning.

 

[Fredman1]

Right this is it...enough is enough. Off to town to get a new phone. This thing is soooo slow...its impacting my ability to follow this thread, and we can't have that.
Now to find the right words to convince wifey that the vape budget for this month is still in tact...

The button isn’t so bad, it’s almost an antique gold. Hate the drip tip though. Very gaudy. Don’t have any to replace it with, except the ultem that also came with it.

It doesn't have a standard 510 dt?

 

[chanelvaps]

What is juicy right now, is my mix in the Axial, this rda is frickin awesome
Plus @Zazie used the p word

 

[NolaMel]

Oh dear I don't think we need this kind of angst on this thread. It has always been the nicest thread on the site and I for one want it to stay that way

What battery do you use in your dotaio?

 

[NolaMel]

I miss the good old days, when jfcooley's plots to give his postal worker their due was all the excitement we needed.

On a related note, Fasttech let me know some of my 1/26 order should ship soon.

I’ve got a couple bits and pieces orders from China. Odd tracking these days... most just say “dispatched to overseas” until they turn up in the hands of Usps.
I’m eager for the weekend to be over. Dotaio #2 is supposed to arrive Monday . Super excited!!!

 

[NolaMel]

Morning shinies



me too, but at a tad lower watts than you

After all the RDAs I've tried in the last 6 months, my favourite 3 are the NarCa, B2k and Axial RDA. But I'm still trying to find more favourites

You need to get an atmizoo creek, if you haven’t

 

[NolaMel]

Not as old as some, but these are my first. Seems like a long time ago compared to where I am now.

I still use my coolfire mini sometimes, when a pod just won’t do. I’m guessing the dotaios may force it into retirement now. I’m surprised at how long it’s lasted. Battery still seems to hold a good charge

 

[NolaMel]

Just not a fan of dotMods gold accents on everything. The one thing I like about the SE is the nickle.

Why I replaced my button first thing.

Is it hard to replace? Well, for ME to do it??

 

[NolaMel]

Damnit!

I don't need or want a DotAIO, but that is gorgeous

Yes you dooooooo

 

[DeloresRose]

It doesn't have a standard 510 dt?

Yeah, but all I have are 810s.

 

[NolaMel]

It doesn't have a standard 510 dt?

It does. First thing I did was replace the dt, as usual.
Oops, @DeloresRose beat me to it. I should send you a few 510s. I have some that look 810, but aren’t

 

[Letitia]

Yeah, but all I have are 810s.

How wide is the top of the mod? I can probably find you a couple to try out so you can find what size & bore would suit you.

 

[Rob B.]

I always wanted a Coolfire Mini, but it was hard to find as mod only, and at a decent price. That's why I settled on the Nugget X. I'm with you on small mods. If I could get a decent regulated 18350/500 mod, I would. Nobody seems to make a small external battery mod anymore. Had my eye on Lost Vape Corals, but they disappeared while I was indecisive on whether I wanted to spend that much. Now I wish I had.

The smallest 18650 mod I have is the Swag. One of my favorites. Fits my Dead Rabbit 22mm perfect.

John Beam on FB. Join his group, tell him I sent you.

He does beautiful work

3 very tiny T3 screws. Once out you can remove that panel, then button comes off and has a clear ring around i, rubber backing that comes off. Swap button from to the new one, reverse. Rubber backing has a square on its back that is very obvious how it goes on.

Let me know if you need a button.
I know a guy. Wasn't terribly cheap, $35

Tiny screws sound like a disaster in the making... but my dislike for the shiny, goldy button is overriding my fear of hours on hand and knee hunting for awol screws. I have a feeling you’re gently leading me to the edge to push me over . Again! (Yep, I fell for that ploy, again) But, I’ll ask anyway... tell me about these buttons, Boss

 

[jfcooley]

Russell Hayward on FB. Hit him through messenger. He also has a video or two on how to swap, step by step.

Took I think 2 weeks, out of Europe somewhere.

Good guy, helpful. He is quick to make but you may have to remind him to let you know when ships, lol. He put it out right away but doesn't usually give tracking unless asked.

I got a black replacement. Colors aren't an issue as far as I know. Even made one out of the end of a shell casing.

Very nice guy. You can tell him I sent you, but it wouldn't mean anything.

Edit. Tiny screws are a pain. Get a T3 (double check with him on that size) and rub a magnet on it or buy magnatized. Small bowel big enough to fit mod in if you're really scared and TAKE YOUR TIME.

There are small stickers over the screws. The spare bag that comes with the mod has a strip that's the same color. If you look at it hard you'll see there are little replacements. Those little .......s take a lot of patience.
