Good Morning Shiny People

Morning, Daniel! Do tell, does 2021 look cheerier than 2020? You know, a forecast for those of us stuck in 2020 on this side of the globe

 

[NolaMel]

An anti vaping commercial is running right now on my tv....supposedly aimed at educating teens/ young adults about the dangers.
Sponsored by SAMSHA.
Oddly, out of the blue. I smell a stinky agenda brewing

It's only early in OZ but all looks pretty good so far, I think you'll enjoy next year when you get here

Happy New Year

More on the SXK kayfun 5 Squared SE clone:

Here's the box I mentioned. Maybe the type of clone some dodgy B&M retailers would pass off as an authentic. (No I haven't tried the QR code!)

Because of the design of the deck and post screw position the coil wants to be really close to the AF. I'm running it in the most open mode (4 mm AF) but it's still more restricted than the Dvarw DL with the 3.5mm AF insert. That's with an 810 DT on the KF and a 510 on the Dvarw. I put it down to the low coil position and the narrow chimney on the KF. I don't have calipers so can't give you an accurate chimney diameter. This build is 3mm ID. I'll try 2.5mm next to maybe get a little more air.

If the post screws were offset you could fit bigger coils but I'm not sure the atty wants them. Definitely a restricted DL vape. The 810 DT is deceptive - this is not a big airy cloud chucker.

The wicking and juice flow took me a while to sort out and will take me a while longer to find the sweet spot. The Dvarw DL is such a simple, bullet proof design so I've got lazy. Nice to have a bit of a challenge again.

The flavour is excellent and I love the 7 ml juice capacity.
The machining is as good as any clone I've seen.

I've only had it for half a day so these are early impressions. I get the feeling this RTA will take a while to get the best out of. So far so good and for $14.95 I'd recommend it for sure.

It's a tall tank (62.5mm without DT) so perfect for an SBS that fits 25mm diameter attys. (@AngeNZ I tried it on the Mixx with the tank guard on and you were right - too tight)

It impresses me how the Supbox has such a low atty shelf. It makes it perfect for tall RTAs like the 5². I thought it may be tighter in AF than a Dvarw DL because of the thin airflow inlets, but the small chimney id surprises me. What doesn't surprise me, is the fact you get fantastic flavour from it

Apologies for what follows

 

[Letitia]

Going to venture into white chocolate.
Ange,my first hearing of wc was from you.do you have a brand?
@Letitia flavor expert are you out there?

Not a flavor I've played with much. The VT wc is okay but needs help. The VT love is a good option from what I've read. Just got in LB wc peppermint but haven't used it yet.

Happy New Year to All.

I thought I smelt an old familiar smell in the middle of the night. Heard tiny voices laughing and coughing. Thought it was a dream - now I know better

Yes it's better already - bright sunny day outside

 

[AngeNZ]

Thanks for the guidance on choosing which Kayfun to try. I really like it. And Bludger does look pleased.

I'm scratching my head a bit about the choice of DT though. The chimney bore is roughly 3.5mm - slightly narrower than the Dvarw DL. (Dvarw on left) which as we know takes a 510
View attachment 924233

Maybe it was an aesthetic design choice to go with an 810 on top. Any idea?
I'm mucking around with 510 adapters but haven't found one that looks right yet

The 810 that comes with the wotofo elder dragon would be perfect as it's still restricted. Maybe one of the Recurve tips?

True. The AF settings you can choose on a rotary dial at the base and are 3mm, 3.5mm and 4mm wide by 1.5 mm (roughly) tall. And now I've found a 510 adapter that sits snug it's making more sense (@ShowMeTwice ).

Sorry just saw your post. Yes I have about 20 or more 510 adapters from back when I was vaping big fog machines. Most of them are black plastic and protruded too much from the SS top and looked weird. I eventually found an old Geekvape one that sits a little flusher

00:25 here and I'm halfway thru the bottle of Chivas 18 i got as a gift.
Looking at this beauty of a mod:

Oh wow!! I feel two things,first i am happy to see them all together (except John Hughes/Bill Paxton,RIP my friend) and second....dang!!!
I feel old,that movie is from 1985...second movie crush was Kelly LeBrock,first crush was Kelly McGillis from Top Gun.

Well anyway,luv you all

P.S:Had to edit the RIP part,totally forgot about Bill Paxton

As well as ordering the frosted Mixx, I ordered a cheap digital camera for Christmas. I wanted to see if I'd actually use it, and if the quality was better than an iPhone 6 camera.

If it's something I get a lot of use out of - which I will, I then plan to order a decent high end point and shoot or a DSLR.

Anyway, I played with it this morning, Dan's Pumper co-operated nicely

and so did Luna

To show how tall and long she is, the bottom of that shelf is 480mm (19 inches) from the bench

I get great pix with my iPhone 6 - I’m impressed. But there are things it just won’t do. I had a Koolpix - my mom had one too, used it all the time. And that was a nice birthday party camera. Very quick, battery lasts plenty long, and stays charged great for weeks. Not good for shooting more than 20’ away though, like the phone.

I bought a Nikon d5300. Not too heavy, works great in auto, so it can be used Point and shoot. But it also has the ability to swap out lenses so it would grow with me.

They’re crazy expensive right now - everything is here, because cooped up people are getting into hobbies.

Hopefully this year I’ll get more time to play with it.
