Yesterday's vape mail. Original plan was to keep this one at home and use the VT-60 as my beater. Can't seem to put the SX down though. Need to order a gel

Double bagged is what you do when you're a little sketched out, and it was like only 20 bucks, or really inexpen...wait, what are we talking about?

It's kind of like when you went to a bar and met someone not so pretty.. you have them wear a bag and you wear one also in case their bag falls off.

I must be too old.

Yeah, I know that one, I was going with a slightly different version of that ;)

Putting a wrap on it and a silicon case. Sometimes you want maximum protection with the case.. and sometimes you want to enjoy the beauty of the workmanship out of the case but still protect it. Hopefully, the issues on the previous production runs have paint that doesn't scratch off as easily

hahaha that's what I thought 'double bagged' meant but I was like.. he can't mean that, the mod is not that ugly! :)

I don't have any covers for any of my mods yet. It's just not something I've thought about really. I have dropped one mod and scratched it slightly, but given how generally clumsy I am, I'm not doing badly in terms of keeping them all looking good.

I suppose if I saw a really awesome looking one I might. But most of the ones I've seen have been a bit rubbish.. like giving a fake leather look, or some army camouflage pattern or carbon fibre or whatever. None of those appealed to me. I'm sure there's loads that are better than that, I've not really looked properly.

I have so many TC mods now that I don't ever have to take the SX Mini out of the house if I want to keep it look pristine. That's another way to try and protect it :)

Sounds like when you visit certain countries for only one reason

''Double wrapping it''

Not that I would know about these things, just what I hear !

Well since we got way off topic here...
Does anyone remember Belle Barth....."The Money Rolls in"?

Somehow I got reminded of the college giggles.

Offensive to just about everyone but really funny.
Oh the old days!

Nope, but google did


That little money song is in probably in one of the parts...but I still remember the words so I don't need to search for the lyrics. Of course I don't remember what I had for lunch yesterday....
That must tell you something about me.:lol:

Anyone using a new style STM (with the RBA Mini + section with the holes in it?)

I had three STMs when they first came out earlier this year. I sold them/gave them away, as I could never get a good connection with any of my TP mods using the RBA section. Resistance on my coils should be right around .19ohms, on the STM they jumped all around between .3 and .4. Not good. Tried shimming to make a more solid connection, adjusting the grommets, tightening the center pin to the base, etc. and could never get a solid connection.

I recently purchased one of the new STMs (the flat white with the new RBA section) thinking that they would have these issues worked out by now ... no go. On my SX Mini M, my Vapor Flask, my Protovapor XPV40 ... same thing. Resistance jumping everywhere, so poor connection. I really want to like the STM!! Any tips/pointers?

Hmmm I have't a clue what the problem could be. I have both full size and mini Subtanks and haven't had contact/resistance problems with multiples of each type on any mod.

I know that isn't helpful to you and I wish I could make a suggestion. Something definitely weird is going on.

I just built 2 rba's today. One with 6 wraps 28g Ni200 for .07 Ohm, and one with a 28g parallel 5 wraps at .05 Ohm. Both are rock solid. One deck is the new one and the other is the old one, but I drilled 2 holes in that one. The parallel is really great, best vape I've had from a Subtank.

No it's what you do starting at the grocery store when you bag a gallon of milk in two bags due to the weight, bring it home... ... Then screw a 20 dollar ...... with two prophylactics on

I never got my Subtank to work consistently with TC. Won't buy another, there are better tanks now for TC in my opinion.

Did you build the Ni200 coil on your RBA deck or use a ready made coil?

Good question. I never had any luck with the premade Kanger coils on anything. The RBA' has been fine on everything.

Duane

Ok. Just wanted to be sure it wasn't a problem with the deck. Ni200 coil wires needs to be securely attached.

I have an Atlantis 2 that I hated with all the regular coils... I bought a VS Ni200 coil for it and BAM! Flavor city. I still hate it anyways.
I'm waiting for my Zephyrus...

Not saying STM is my favorite (actually haven't found a favorite), but using factory nickel OCC and building on the RBA deck have both been satisfactory, but not spectacular. No problems with random resistances. I did find that the positive post on the RBA needed to be tightened. It certainly could have caused sporadic resistance, but I caught it before it did.
