Is anyone else using (or used) the aegis legend and having trouble closing the battery door?

I don't own one but did a quick search. Apparently they are renowned for the battery door being difficult to close, Doesn't seem like there's an easy fix but hopefully someone who owns one can help here.
My only thought would be to experiment with different brands of batteries if you have some. All 18650 batteries are supposed to be a standard height (6.5cm) but some brands have small variations.
Good luck S.

Most of mine haven't given me any problems but the one I'm using now doesn't like my Hohm Tech batteries much and won't latch. It closes okay with my Molicels and VRKs though. This mod is later production from 2021.
I think that one of my older ones was fussy at times as well.

My first was the Joyetech ego AIO in May 2016.
Followed that a couple of weeks later with a Pico 75/Melo III mini tank. Took me about a week of obsessive YouTube watching to decide to build my own coils. The Youde (UOD) Goblin Mini RTA fit the Pico and looked cool! (Bought from Gearbest). The flavour of that tank probably stopped me going back to smoking. It's a 22mm bottom fill RTA through a tiny little flat head screw. Leaks like a sieve if you get the wicking wrong but amazing when right.
Anyone here like the Goblin mini?

I can’t remember if it was the goblin but I had one tank that had a tank extension for it and that sounded familiar.

The Goblin mini V3 did have a tank extension and top fill.

It sounds the same as my Aegis X. My trick is to slam it shut and then slide the middle bit until it locks,

Burned a small brush pile this afternoon. Sprayed a bit of charcoal igniter fluid on the bottom which is how I normally fire them up. I had one of those little propane powered lighters in my pocket. Got distracted by some activity in the neighbor's yard and realised I was holding my Pico to the base of the pile and repeatedly pressing the button. A bit like trying to vape the TV remote but the other way round.

Then I trimmed a forsythia and some boxwoods. The blade on my 25 year old corded hedge trimmer is rusty and worthless so I just ordered a new battery powered model.

It wasn't a lot of fun. Pollen and Ozone are both off the charts, the fire didn't help.

Good evening Shinies.

I have several Solos but not a Legend. Is it the same design with a round screw in plug on the bottom?

no. a door. no screw.

Yup T, you solved it. It apparently does not like Molicels but does like Samsungs! Thanks T

Evening everyone! I hope you all are enjoying the sunset.

I got FANTASTIC vape mail today from Reload USA. 1st was the Reload S Pro RDA and the Reload S RTA. yep you heard it here first- I bought an RTA! Walking on the wild side! Most here on this shiny thread know that I’m almost an exclusive RDA vaper but I think I found the RTA that will end that exclusivity of mine. Keeping fingers crossed.

I’ll post pics and thoughts tomorrow. I want to at least vape it for a full day before I start gushing about an atty only to change my mind hours later.

Also want to give Reload USA customer service a shout out on their excellent work. Changed an order after I checked out without any issues and sent me replacement bf pins after I broke the bf pin to the Reload X RDA that I have. Yeah I know just pennies but similar requests made at other companies have been blown off or offered only for sale. I just have a good vibe there plus it helps that I’m over moon loving their products! lol!

I don't know what any of this means, but I'm still impressed.

Me either. I've never graced the inside of a gym or straddled an exercise bike, but more power to those that enjoy it. @Tor R I'm sure you'll outlive us all mate!

Thank you

I don't even know what it all means.
There is Norwegian text on this, but I think light, intensive, aerobic, anaerobic, vo2max, are calculated based on my age and normal resting heart rate. As always, it's my thighs that hurt so much that this is where I end up, workout after workout.

Since I'm on heart medicine I don't go higher than this, and that's my whole goal to do this, physical exercise also helps with the mental.

I currently go to Physical Therapy twice a week and am thankful when I can complete that puny routine. lol

Ok so yesterday’s vape mail included the Reload S RTA and the Reload S Pro RDA. I haven’t built the the RDA because I already know that it will be an awesome single coil atty just like all their other RDAs.

I’ve been vaping the S RTA for over 72 hours now and my initial WOW reaction is still a WOW reaction.

Have I finally found a single coil RTA that’s as good as my most favorite single coil RDA? I think I might’ve. I really can’t put it down.

The build deck is a bit unusual and I wish I had watched a build video prior to building as I normally do but it but it worked out just fine. It might be a bit intimidating for a noobie but after a couple of builds it’s really not that bad.

And the most important feature for me is Flavor and this RTA has flavor (and clouds) galore. It’s a very airy atty but can be dialed back with the AFC. Lately I’ve been enjoying a more RDL so I ordered the optional 3 AFC rings that have different levels of a more restrictive air flow. I’ll be looking forward to trying those out as well.

So unbelievably I actually ordered the S RTA in stainless steel as well. Once Reload items are not made they just seem impossible to find. No one wants to sell theirs I guess lol! So I wanted to get the SS before that happened.

So I give Reload USA a very strong thumbs up all around from quality build to customer service.
