Good afternoon fellow Shinys! I hope everyone has shiny still on the way to you!!

I decided to delete my classifieds listing because I’m just too overwhelmed right now.

We’re in the process of moving my brother back to his home. Lots to coordinate like a hospital bed, oxygen, suction and of course all the hospice care needed. At least his family is all there for him and he’ll never be alone.

I’m still in deep shock remembering how horrible he looked. I wish I could automagically delete it from my mind. I won’t go into details but we should all be so lucky to have family/kids to do what needs to be done and coordinating his care. And for sure he wouldn’t want to die in a hospital but in his home.

Think old time hippy lobsterman who drank and smoked weed daily. So yeah he’d be much happier there lol!! I’m hoping to spend a few days.

I’m trying to find a ride so I can stay a few days but it’s hard because of Haley and all her meds plus getting home over one of thos “deficient” bridges!! Not what I needed to hear the morning I was getting a ride from a friend of his.

I still have so many atties that I want to build especially the replacement Dead Rabbit Pros that Hellvape came through with for me.

I didn’t think it would happen with Hellvape though I sent several videos but a mention of being a member here, plus some azz kissing and playing dumb finally worked out.

It was weird though. They sent me a complete Pro SS atomizer with bridge deck plus the two red top caps without the build deck. However I put them on the initial unuseable build decks they all fit perfectly as they should’ve from the start. So they obviously had an issue with the tolerances of the original top caps.

So I’ve got those and a couple of Artemis 1.5 RDTAs plus rewicking/dry cleaning of even more atties.

Hope everyone is well. Tough times all around.

I will keep you in my thoughts Sarah.

Morning shinies ;)

I'm tossing up between a couple of things. What did you like and not like about the Odin mini v2 @Letitia?
Pros
C frame
Hand friendly
Finish
Efficient power wise (23-30w is my usual range)
Back pocket, purse friendly
Attractive imo

Con
Battery door magnets
Little too tall for my preference
Finish will scratch tho not too easily

Personally I prefer the og as far as size/height. Both perform very well for my wattage range; usually about 2 days depending on how many rigs I have in rotation.

Good afternoon Shinies.

My package has been delayed a couple days. Looks like the distribution centers sat on it for longer than expected.

No big deal. Thankfully there's no dire need for the new atomizers; the builds in the Brunhilde and rda are still going strong after a month or so, which is amazing to me, and (after much research and many failed attempts) I'm happy to be getting good flavor again out of this kayfun LPV2 clone again.

    I’ve been so stressed and busy lately because of my brother’s illness that I’ve been using Vaporesso mods and GT drop in coils.

    My brother has been moved home in a hospital bed and all has been coordinated with his hospice team. He definitely didn’t want to die in a hospital but at home surrounded by his family and friends. I don’t know if I’ll even get to see him again. I’m hoping to grab a ride on Saturday if he’s still alive. He’s really out of it cuz of all the painkillers and benzos he’s on. At least I had some precious moments with him when he was a bit more clearheaded.

    So with all that going on I just don’t know if I have the energy, motivation or physical ability to recoil/rebuild atties right now esp with my trembling hands.

    I’m so glad I kept all those Revenger Xs setups. And I forgot how well the NRG atomizes actually taste. Which was kind of surprising to me. I normally use the GT2 coils but have the ceramic ones as well. So all that early hoarding of Vaporesso mods and coils has come in handy.

    The Revenger X kits were my 1st dual mods that really started my love of vaping. I believe I bought them in all the colors available lol!!

    I have a Luxe and Polar but they were never as good as the Revenger X imho.

    I could open a super store of just GT variety drop in coils. I thought I went overboard because I bought tons of them every time there was a flash sale! And FastTrach always had a million of them. I miss that place!

    I hope everyone is doing well. I need to read back a few pages and see who’s got something new or is awaiting vape mail!!

    I need some Shiny help- I’ve been wicking use rayon the same way pretty much for the last 5 years with fantastic results.

    However, lately I’m finding that the center of the RBA wick that passes through the coil “burns out”. It totally breaks in half. Not great mothfeel at all Yuk!

    So what am I doing wrong? Too much wicking? Not enough wicking? Wattage too high?

    I’m a bit stumped at the moment as to what’s causing this. If anyone has any suggestions or advice I’d really appreciate them. I feel like a newbie again lol!!

    I’m hoping it’s just a plain old wicking mistake that can be easily solved.

    So again my Shiny friends can anyone offer suggestions or advice?

    Delivered a few minutes after I posted:lol: Only then did the tracking update to show it had been out for delivery this morning. So weirdo_O

    Dvarw MTL V2 clones and Cthulhu 1928 RDAs (plus M-tanks for the Kayfun LPV2 clones). Not my finest picture, but I wanted to show something at least.

    Glad you have something easy to puff on during your difficult time.

    My heart goes out to you. I know well how hard it is, what you're going through.

    Also no idea about the Rayon, sorry.

    Good morning shiny people. I went in for some overtime yesterday to help get a special order together. We had a customer place a 200k order and some equipment needed assembled. Three of us were able to get everything done in a few hours. The overtime pay might be a good excuse to buy something shiny.
    Oh for sure that’s a great idea!!
    Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

    I've been training, I had a bad night in terms of sleep, but I trained all the same, and I was clearly having a good day, but I chose not to empty myself completely. Got good values so it looked.

    The package from StealthVape is flying, soon it will end up in the lap of the customs officials, 2FDeal is waiting for a new batch, I think it is quite common that they are empty for the most part outside of the 24 hour thing, and there is not much there. I must have what I have bought no matter how long it takes

    No foam project, I'm out of material :lol::lol::lol: at least for now :greengrin:
    i noticed how many of the online shops have so many products that are Out of Stock etc…. Made me nervous!!

    Is that a pod or borough or something. I’m so behind the 8 ball with either. I know what I like and plan on. Sticking to it. Also because I’d bankrupt myself having to get ALL accessories lol!!

    Several posts state it's because the wick is too loose and/or there are hot spots in the coil.

    Hopefully a rayon user can confirm this or be more helpful.

    Edit: I'd also check steam engine to make sure you're using a reasonable wattage, if there's any doubt. Might be worth trying a contact coil too.
    Thank you for any thoughts or if you pray at all. Keep him in your mind. Everything will help.
    Absolutely. I'll be sure to keep him in mind.

    @Fidola13,
    Sara, you and your brother and your family are in my prayers. I know just how useful a good hospice team can be during this time. Don't stress about anything that you don't have to, like what kind of setup you are using. Just take this time for you and your brother. :nun:
