Hmmm...I have a Kbox 160, and I quite like it. It does show some scratches, though. Is that what you're asking? If so, suck it up... I ain't attempting to scratch my new pretty to satisfy your morbid curiosity! I am wearing a stainless steel ring on my right hand and a sterling silver on my left, and neither has made a mark, though...

Hmmm...should I organize my new hoard of drip tips by color or type? Decisions, decisions! How do you organize yours!

well guys I finally did it. I upgraded my batteries. it was a hard decision. RIP AW 18650s. you've treated me well.

I can already tell how much longer the the Samsung's are gonna last by how long it takes to charge them. lol.

ETA: just looked up when I bought the AWs. April 19th 2015. we'll call that two years. I buy 7 at a time. 2 married pairs and 3 for my single battery mods. those batteries got charged AT LEAST once a day. that's over 750 cycles. pretty good in my book. :)

Wow, that's pretty good!
I won't care! I neeeeed a tube mod in my life and provari is sleeping with the fishes :cry: And I currently can't afford a... darn, can't think of the name, the expensive German ones.
DFW Vapor has some Provari minis for $50. They have been store display so some of them have blems. If you're interested I would call them and ask them to tell you if the one you want is blem-free. i bought one snd it had too many blems to suit me but when I called them they inspected a couple of others and the one I chose is supposed to be blem-free.

Got my Nectars... they are bathing at the moment. Some first impressions...

Stubby Nectars:
1.) $8.33 Nectar Nano Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping - Seems well put together, parts fit will, machining looks nice. Not bad at all. A bit of a ..... to disassemble.

2.) $10.44 Nectar Micro Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 316 stainless steel / 22mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping - Also well built, maybe a notch over the previous. Spare "tank" ring is a nice extra.

3.) $7.83 Nectar Micro V2 Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 316 stainless steel + PEEK / 1.5ml / 22mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping - Very nice product. Interesting airflow path. Probably getting built first.

4ml or so Nectars:
4.) $10.49 Nectar Micro Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 4.5ml / 316 stainless steel + acrylic / 22mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping - Nicely made, solid build. Parts fit well. Cap is a bit snug but should be easier once juiced. Comes with plug for gaping fill hole.

5.) $9.29 Nectar Styled Genesis RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - stainless steel + POM / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping - I wouldn't recommend this one over the other. Design is a bit weak using screw/post extensions on the center and negative posts up from the base. Meh... at least it's black.

#2 and #4 would be my initial recommendations... possibly #3 as well, depending how it vapes.

@VapeLuvr . . . Are the DT's in the 3rd section on the bottom of the storage box (between the Black & Purple) - Pyrex or Plain Glass? Regular or Wide Bored Holes? Where did you purchase them? How much? I have been looking to get more of the Pyrex ones w/Regular hole DT . . . ;)

If you mean the clear ones, they are plastic (one is glass), regular hole. I got them from various places. I'm happy to send you a couple!

Those are button tops right? I was thinking of trying something different in a Provari. I normally go to Illum Supply, they have a button top LG but it's been out of stock for a while. Where did you get the Samsungs?

I don't like to post this cause of the flame factor that I can receive for unsafe battery practice. For now prolly over 2 years I have been using a magnet ontop my flattop batts in my provari and as long as they are centered I have had no problems using them, just remember to take the magnet off before charging. I got them from fasttech a loooooooong time ago, they caliper at 5mm round x1.5mm thick for those who also want to walk on the wild side.

Uh-oh. THAT looks GREAT!!!

Somewhere 'round four years ago (or so), when I first because friends with @Katdarling, I believe I had exactly one drip tip (general area).

WTH happened??? :blink::blush::facepalm:

I guess I shouldn't have bothered. I really need a new camera!

I got my Nectars on Saturday. You guys can have all you want. I don't like mine at all so they'll go into the stash box for if and when there comes a time that I don't have anything else to use. I bought 2, got a coil in the first one after changing the post screws and the flavor is ok but there's not near enough airflow for me. It might be a good tank to use on the Provari. The 2nd one, I can't get the damned screw out of the center post to change them out. It won't budge. The whole center post will come out but that screw won't.

I know those exist. I bought loads of flat top batts for my hitters from coops not thinking about button top for our provaris. I don't use the magnets in nothing else and let my wife use the button tops so I am thinking of safety a little bit. Once my supply of flat tops wear out then I'll be back to using the proper button batts.

Disclaimer: This is a *sincere* question and not a sarcastic/rhetorical one...

How is that thing different/superior to AlterUrEgo's solution?
As the brass plate is set in a plastic disk, there's no chance that it'll slip or slide. Greatly reduces the chance of an accidental short.
