He isnt running his tanks empty is he?


I love the bb and my alien. Just ordered another alien tonight. Have a bbb sitting here waiting for it, and a merlin mini coming tomorrow to try my hand with an rta. Got 500ml of juice, but thinking of ordering more already! Just getting back in the game, but I think you all got me addicted in short order posting all this stuff!!

no he's not, he learned that lesson a bit ago... when he smoked he had a tendency to smoke em quick and hotbox them, i wonder if he's vaping the same...

May i ask, where have you been able to find the Q2 0.4 coils? And what wattage do you use them at?

I would be interested in the BBB if I could find a place that carries the 0.4 coils.
the V8 Q2 .4 ohms is a pretty common coil for any place that sells the beasts.

so umm like ooops... *sobs*... so i heard there was an update for the version A's and of course plugged the usb in my alien in prep... yeah no update still on their website *mutters*... so i removed it from the comp and went to charge my phone and had a w t f moment when i couldn't plug the usb in... take a look and realise the metal casing for the usb port of my alien, was attached to the usb cable for my computer. not sure how it happened, maybe when i hit the tree... but that was light and it's not like anything was plugged into the usb at the time(i was on my sled)... so off to the shop i bought it from i go today.

Hi Cheallaigh,
I take it the mod your using doesn't have removable batts you could charge in a separate dedicated batt charger? bummer..its only one of the reasons why we (family)
don't waste our hard earned money on throw away mods with built in batts..and you charge both your mod and phone on the computer via USB? Sorta slow charging either I would think..What's wrong with using the wall charger that came with your phone? Poor computer doing double duty..lol
Anyway, I do wish you good luck getting it fixed..

i don't charge the batteries in it.. they go in the charger or my 160... the aliens, at least mine won't charge unless it's hooked up to something with a computer chip. to update it, you need to take the batteries out and i had forgotten to, and then realised my phone really, really needed a charge.. it i do charge while at my comp lol. so it's a over a month since i bought it and they did manage to put the piece in, but that's all they can do at the store i bought it from. i'm just going to have to put a piece of tape over it or something. i really hate murphy mondays... went out to clear off my baby truck and my driver's wiper came off, took the back roads to our garage, switched to the work truck to get half the stuff i needed done today... but at least now my hubby can take the sled to the garage and fix the bumper and i can update my mod... tomorrow i will do the dreaded end of the month business bank run...

*sigh* and it came right out again with the updating...

What about the .6? I have looked everywhere and cannot find. I would pick up a BBB if I could find a pack of 5 of the .6 that is technically an available coil.

Well ElementVape out here in California seems to have all the tfv8 coils in stock, including the BB T6..

It's only one of several vendors I found to carry these coils including SweetVapes..

nope, there is nothing that can be done. it was probably my fault that it got loose, i've knocked it over a few times, dex is no longer my strong suit. black tape does wonders, i'd seal it, but i do update and it can still be updated with or without that piece. i charge the batteries separately anyhow.
If you're in and around Barrie, stop by Phat Boy vapes on Mapleview with your Alien. Chris is a wizard at fixing mods. He might be able to help you out.
