Good morning ya'll. I hope everyone and their children are doing well today. An order I made from sourcemore almost a month ago for an rba for my Rincoe Manto 80w AIO is finally in Los Angeles today. No delivery date yet, but at least it's in the US. I made the same order plus some replacement coils from FT a month and a half ago, and no movement or status change whatsoever so far. Shipping date just keeps moving further and further out.

I've been eyeing the Rinco with the RBA. What you think of it Rob ?

Anyone have an Aspire Feedlink Squonk mod? I bought one during the holidays and totally forgot about it. I never did any research on it because it was so inexpensive.

Just was curious if anyone here has tried one and thoughts on it. I like the form of it. Very comfortable to hold.

The mod is good the revvo tank squonk thing I find to be an absolute piece of garbage. I would equate how the mod vapes to how the wismec luxotic BF Vapes but without the leaking. The lux is one of my favorite non regulated mods. So the mod is up there imo. For being as cheap as they usually are I feel like they are a fantastic deal

That’s good feedback. I didn’t get the kit just the mod. I didn’t even notice if a kit had been available at the time. I have A LOT of rda’s to choose from for it.

I’ve seen a lot of posts and talk of the luxotic but have never bought or used one. Mostly because I don’t like the boxy look to it then the issues with the leaking. I’ve been so fortunate in my vaping experience that I’ve rarely had leaking issues with any of my RBAs or 510 connections. That would send me over the edge and the gear out the window lol!!!

I’m still a noobie with squonking. Didn’t really see how it fit into my vaping use being a defiant dripper lol! I initially bought a couple of Squeezes but found it awkward to use so boxed them up and put them away. But with the availability of mods being up in the air I decided to at least grab some newer ones while I could.

So far I’ve struck gold for my purposes with the Topside & Revenant. I ended up buying three of each I like them so much. The Feedlink and a Sigelei Fuchai (?) were spur of the moment Flash Sale purchases. I also have several semi regulated squonks for the stash. And that’s a whole ‘nother can of worms.

Anyways sorry for blabbering but thanks for your thoughts on it !!

I always forget that Instagram exists. I haven’t seen many of their mod colors I don’t like, so it would’ve been safe to just pick any of them. I love that green though. Impressed that the emailed back so quickly. I half expected them to say you pick color, we send what we want and you say thank you!


Or, we’ll add pictures as soon as Tralfaz sends us some!

Their quick responses take a lot of the worry out of ordering from overseas and waiting so long for delivery. I've had a really good experience with them all around from cs to the high quality of their work. I still marvel at how great my black SHRTGN is every time I use it. I'm actually trying to decide on what to get for my fifth mod from them right now. The struggle is real

I like it a lot. I should finally have the rba in a few days. It just left usps LA facility. It's a nice size, and the drop in coils are ok, but I got this for the rba and will be able to give you a better answer when I get it. I also just got the Aspire Mulus and I want to get an rba for it also. I like these aio's with the 18650 and internal tank system. Very convenient to take out and about, but still get the experience of a rebuildable. Let you know more after I get the rba.

Thanks Rob. Yeah I also like the AIO system... even better with a 18650. I hope the RBA delivers. In my experience these tiny RBAs don't work as well as the stock mesh coils. Hope this one works better. Yes i'll be very interested to hear your thoughts.

I think @jandrew has one. He made some resin panels for it if I remember correctly

Whoohooo, State of Emergency, Local Emergency, and idiots are still saying "flu is worse". Reported case about an hour from here...so yay. If you think it's no worse than the flu...keeeweelll. Still wash ya hands and keep your distance. Thanks.


Shiny news! My doors are FINALLY moving. Only took a hint or two that I was a bit irritated.

Stay healthy.

I almost bought a plane ticket to the West Coast, specifically LAX so I could go to the Cinco De Mayo yearly concert in Redondo. My sister has condo's there to stay for free.. sort of scared about the virus and if they will be cancelling flights

Buy an any reason travel insurance plan. Given the uncertainty it’s worth the extra price if your air tickets are expensive enough to justify it. As you’re not looking at a hotel on top of it, if you can get a cheap flight now it may work out better to eat the loss if you can’t make it.

As for domestic travel concerns, the horse is already out of the barn. Containment by restricting interstate travel is pretty useless to accomplish much. Hopefully by the middle of April you’ll have a better picture on the situation.

I am , again, so overstocked. Dogs cheese has to be kept in the lettuce drawer. I am mixing this morning, for the first time in over a year, so hopefully I will get off this kick of buying it. Seems every time I empty a bottle or two I buy 5-6 more.

Unless you vape 60 ml a day, I’d say you have me beat on the retail juice stock.

I am looking forward to getting back into DIY so I don’t have to clean and rewick so often. Those sweet juices are a killer. Once I started using Xylitol as my sweetener I could have a sweet juice with way less crap building up.

Best defence against any virus is a strong immune system... enough sleep, good diet and load up on a good quality Vit D....definitely not from the supermarket.

Here’s a sorta shiny special if anyone is having trouble on places running out of stock

I just reported someone for posting a meme on Facebook that says something about putting oil - essential oils, olive oil, etc - in your navel fights Coronavirus.

I’m so done with stupid people.

I’ve sent this to everyone I know...

Some highlights, I thought, were that this virus is infectious with asymptotic people, where common flu is not. And that it might be several times as contagious - which I expected, since nobody is immune to it.

Were you irritated about the doors? Who knew? LOL! It's good they've been shipped.

Felt like clouds today.
Got a pair of Don's Killer Coils in the Zeus X running at 0.16 Ohms on my industrial Fuchai. Some diy raspberry custard as fuel.

Same here. It’s looking pretty grim economically. The bulk of the state budget comes from either hotel tax/tourist dollars, or oil and gas. Both have evaporated.
Does anyone have the link to Dr F’s (the Greek doctor/vape advocate) article about PG’s antibacterial properties? I read it in the last week or so, and can’t remember where I saw it.

He makes references to it in this article debunking vapers are at more risk of corona virus:
Smoking, vaping and the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic: rumors vs. evidence

And I'm feel very very grateful to be living a in very tiny rural community right now. Yes we get a load of tourists through this region, but unless they stop to see a sheep or a cow or a chicken, I don't get to see them

I hope every single one of you stays safe and healthy

Unfortunately my entire town council has been exposed and some tested positive already. So it’s right here living next door to me.

And yes I am afraid. Afraid for myself and afraid for others esp those with health issues.

Just found this. I know this isn't a vape, but it's related through it's finish. A minimalist stabwood resin wallet. I love it, and I want it, I want it, I want it....All sorts of different designs and finishes like Asmodus stabwoods. Each of them is different, one of a kind. So if you see one you like, grab it quick.
