i tried using that liquid thing to remove the mold in the shower, scrubbed through a couple of nails and into the skin but there';s still alotta black, Alouette... erm... adults? any advice?

edit: aside from the obvious you should've worn the mitten, kitten
What kind of surface is the mold on?

Tile and grout?

Fiberglass?

tween the tiles_ some is grout, but that cleared quickly, it's the silicone(ish?) in arrises(?)/intersections that's the rub :lol: the rub:lol:
If the silicone's blackened and peeling away in spots it may mean moisture has got in behind the silicone (hence mold) and it would need removing, cleaning and drying then re applying new silicone

Like Pigs said new silicone if it's that bad.

If not that bad you can try cleaning it.

Read the "removing from silicone" section. How To Clean Black Mold In Shower Silicone & Get Rid Of It For Good | Shower+Bath

Spraying your shower weekly with vinegar will prevent mold. Add lavender or peppermint if you find the smell of vinegar annoying. Also pour some down the drain.

    Yes they will fit....no problem and a lot of people prefer the mesh too so good choice :)

    EDIT. Sorry I was wrong with my answer above....please ignore.
    Honestly you can't be blamed for being wrong it's absolutely confusing beyond belief. Because there is a mesh coil that works for it but it has Pro after it but there is no Pro after the freemax fireluke so you wouldn't think anything Pro would go with it because there's other tanks that are called Pro LMAO. I couldn't even get a good answer from freemax related websites :) all of this and I really bought it because it has an RTA deck LOL but darn it I like to bring some coils with me sometimes

    Which in all honesty might be easier than trying to get a stain of mold off of silicone in the first place LOL just kidding kind of

    So is the Fireluke and the Freemax the same tank? Darn these people for making things so confusing and at a time when I am getting old and feeling my brain turn to mush. I better figure it out and just buy a boatload now
    So I've been on this topic since 9 in the morning and it's now 6 p.m. in my time zone. The fireluke is made by freemax. There is also a fireluke 2 and I think the fireluke mesh. And then there's apparently another section of firelukes that are apparently Pro.. I know that contains a mesh product but I don't know if it also contains a regular one even though the mesh only refers to the coil ( near as i can tell) which can also be used in the original fireluke. They literally have rebranded entire tanks as mesh when the only thing mesh about them is the coil that they share with non mesh tanks ...... I think...

    but don't hold me to any of that. After everything I have established that the coils that they call Mesh Pro should fit the very first original freemax fireluke tank that comes with an RTA base.. and I had to go through all of the rest of that for 9 hours and get help from individuals here and in a couple groups in order to just get the basic information that a mesh Pro coil fits a freemax fireluke tank.

    Tldr freemax is the brand fireluke is the name of a whole collection of Tanks

    Oh and there's also a freemax firelord tank that is completely different than everything else. And somehow in all of this I ended up purchasing the original Dead Rabbit rda

    If you can get it, Sally's Cellucotton, a.k.a. Rayon (the same many use for wicking atomizers) can be soaked in bleach, then put on grout lines to kill mold. The cotton version would do the same thing I imagine.

    Edit: read the silicone part later. I agree with the above posts, remove and replace it. I hate silicone for this reason and use DAP tub and tile caulking instead nowadays for showers and sinks.

    Yiihaaa...the first of the tobaccos I ordered from the US of A has arrived. Yeah those ones I thought would be taxed and dutied to unaffordability at customs. Yeah Yeah...those ones I was ready to go to parlement for...to state my case that i'm not a smoker...but a vaper...YEAH those ones I want to make NET juice from ;)
    Somehow the first two went through (3 more to come)...don't know if it's undetected or because of the mountains they have to work through because of Covid. Anyway I feel honoured, lucky and VERY happy. As you gathered...it's a big deal as my vaping future hung in the balance...:D
    Soooo feast your eyes on this

    You made me look for the firelord. There is a blue that is gorgeous. Found one at vape wild. Finally decided to order one until I saw the shipping-a ridiculous $12.xx. Nope. Pre-ordered the nio and the dead rabbit SE. :confused: shipping 6.xx. From China.

    Oxford is only about a half hour from where I live. How much shipping, taxes, and fees did you have to pay?
