New ageis solo right out of the package today at work . It’s pretty good much better than my jackaroo when using a 18650.

    DL for me at 60 watts

    i loaaaaaaathe you!


    yes. Better flavour imo.

    dare i ask where/what you get, or are you just gonna say AVS?
    see all i can find is precoiled stuff and, now that i'm wrapping, i find those ridiculously overpriced.. plus i'm not sure which 'aliens' make this diff_ a lot of stuff seem to just wavey trcorefusedclaptons (is that simply it),,

    alright boys and girls, decision time: either indefinitely postpone getting the Reload S and KRMA clones from FT (maybe never) and get the Blitz Hermetic now OR order the clones from FT now (regardless of wait time) and forget abt Hermetic forever, leaving it to the pages of things extinct, knowing i shall never try them (queue violins: largo dolente)

    I like it too. They were an nice surprise when I picked up a couple Jackaroo kits last fall.
    It's frustrating because I'm spoiled finding great deals on coils but AFAIK these are unique.
    sourcemore has them on preorder for 8.83, only place I can find them. No one seems to have them in stock.

    Anyone else noticed that rayon gives much less spit back than cotton? Or maybe i'm just late to the party :D
    This Aromamizer lite is prone to lighting up my tongue...boy it can hurt :(
    I just wicked it up with cotton and it lit me up immediately. Took the cotton out and replaced it with another make...same thing.
    Ripped it out again and stuffed some prime Graham Beauty rayon in... lots o crackle, no spittings :D
    Its not the first time either. Happened before, but I thought then I didn't stuff the cotton in hard enough.
    What i've also learnt...when the rayon gets dirty it starts spitting, but that starts up slower...a early warning device that its time for a rewick ;)
    But isn't it always the case that rayon has to be stuffed in hard..?

    It's certainly the case that spitting occurs with a loosely stuffed wick...with cotton. I've got no experience with rayon.

    Hey Rob B, I had never heard of Nattali Rize before but I enjoyed that song/video. Here's someone I can pretty much guarantee you've never heard. Jamaican Reggae/dance fusion, with only 2 or 3 CDs. She does a lot of mainstream cover songs as well.

    Morning people :)

    My work has put us down to a max of a 4 day week, I guess if can call lucky, I got today off, so got a 3 day weekend, sucks having a day off in the middle of the week.

    Only problem is, not got a lot to do, which is dangerous, as means I am window shopping to much, which turns into actual shopping, with short hours, need to be careful with money, but when see deals on things you would like, it's hard to say no.

    Getting really tempted on the Smok Fetch, can get it for $25 and RBA for another $5 in the 24 hour ship category, but I really don't need another AIO, but that never stopped me on mods and tanks, so......

    I know some here like the Gear RTA, myself included. For anyone interested, Sourcemore has it for $22.99. It is one great single coil RTA. Super easy to build and wick. With nice, fat, tasty clouds. I love mine, and would recommend it to anyone that likes rebuildables.

    The KRMA clone from FastTech is a clone that I liked well enough to buy the authentic, if that is helpful to you.

    Good morning Shinyville. Getting some more much needed rain today. As usual, hoping everyone and their family's are safe, healthy, and happy. Only one family picture today of me and my bud at the nations capital, in front of the White House on Oct. 2008. :wub:

    Highlight of my day.

    I have to drive around a bit, charge the truck battery. So, last time u went shopping I got stuff for burritos. Everything but beans. I figured, as long as I gotta drive... well, they have our main road closed, so there’s a 5 mile detour. I go around that, and the main road is under construction too. Open to one lane traffic, but ground down to re do the blacktop. The secondary road to get in through the backside of town is still closed too. Took me another 15 miles to get home with no beans. I mean it’s a good time to get these repairs done, but dammit all at once?

    So anyway I’ll let you know how I do making my own stupid beans, substituting everything but the chick peas and water.

    I do buy Aliens hand made /pre-wrapped. They may seem overpriced but if you think that a pair of beautifully hand made coils costs about AUS $20 and that each coil lasts 3 plus months (if you maintain them right) then It's not too bad. I buy these from a local craftsman Cloud Revolution

    @Don29palms Killer coils are another example. You just can't buy wire of that quality in spools.
    Value's always subjective so it's up to you of course. Think about the cost of drop in coils that may last a week.

    Morning shinies ;)

    Normally I'd say get the FT duo. But with international shipping the way it is:
    covidshipping.jpg

    and I think it's pretty amazing we do still have international shipping happening.

    So for now I'd shop local and get the Hermetic. Since you only have the 1 RDA and you are using that on your topside - this will give you an RDA to use for testing your diy mixes.

    DIY all the way for me. I felt so liberated when I didn't have to rely on retail juice any more.
    Other Aus vapers will understand - we can't legally buy juice with nic in it here so it's always been adding nic/PG/VG to doublers or adding nic to 0 nic juice at stupid prices from the States. Later on we could buy nic juice from NZ but even that was expensive.
    In the new Covid Reality I can't imagine relying on international post to get my juice.

    Agree 100%. You guys have it much worse, as you can't even buy nicotine locally. And some of the nic prices in NZ are huge. I use these guys:
    https://www.mixologyvape.co.nz/shop...ribute_nicotine-level=100mg&attribute_base=PG
    Discount code: vapr20 takes of 20%

    I started DIY due to the cost of my fave ejuice mixes. As I was rebuilding by then, it was my only main ongoing large vaping expense.

    I didn't think on top of saving money, I'd also find a hobby that I absolutely love doing. But I did - using a mixture of creativity, research and trial and error makes (for me) DIY fun and rewarding :wub:

    Ange that's where I buy my nic - mixology in NZ.
    Probably won't ever need to buy more though. 25 plus years' worth in the freezer

    how i went into this for one rda and ended up getting a new mod and essentially planning to get three rda and wire/coils is one of those mysteries which are too easily explained by the anatomists of the soul
