Well the rba for the tf-v4 came now, I just need the tank.
I placed an order at fasttech last week for the dual coil RBA head, TF-N2 nickel coils, TF-TI titanium coils, and a couple of rolls of titanium wire. Just got shipment notification.

Doesn't matter what the statement is referring too, MadVapes does Not know anything about this contest nor do they know they are involved in shipping the mods out.
hence the thought of the American warehouse or distributor being the one who is shipping the 50 from ECF and in the mean time Smok will make the arrangements with MV

I ordered mine off eBay the other day and it showed up today. I'm still waiting on my drip tip and titanium wire from fasttech, should be in the us any day now.

Got my Venti battery the other day and love it! It is 30 mm in diameter and very short.
Any of you know a good mega tank 28-30 mm wide? I know of Subtank and VCT Mega but what else?

Seems to me a battery called "Venti" is as bad an idea as one called "*something*-fire."

How I hate when some shops require you to set up an account and require billing/shipping info BEFORE you actually get to your shopping basket to apply coupon codes/select shipping, to get the actual final price on your order... :-x
Y U DO DIS, SHOPS?!

Whenever they do that, I don't even bother with the order, I just close that browser tab and think bad things about them. :lol::lol::lol:

On an unrelated note. How much better is tempered ni200 than 'normal' ni200? Or is tempered ni200 still worse than titanium and should be ignored?

Its easier to work with than normal ni200 but once u fire it it becomes as soft as normal ni200. I have spools of both in 26, 28, and 32 and I prefer the tempered over non. With that said I stopped using them after I went to titanium

Thanks!
I'd really prefer going straight to SS, but Koopor Mini hasn't received any firmware upgrades, to enable SS for TC. Due to the size of X Cube II, I just don't see myself carrying it around... Guess I'll just get getting Ti then.

SS TC is going to be problematic for quite some time, because nobody has settled on a "standard" for the stainless itself (304, 317, 430, etc), and while a handful of mods have exposed user configurable TCR settings so you can tinker with different grades, most rely on presets (and the mass market WANTS simple presets, not more complexity). The variance in performance between the different grades can be significant, there is no "one size fits all" preset for stainless steel wire.

With titanium, Grade 1 is Grade 1 is Grade 1, so Ti presets should just work (provided the board maker did their job properly). Same with "pure" Ni200.

That's why I really don't care about using ss right now
