Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[Katdarling]

Completely forgot...was going to do that after our convo and fell off the radar!

This is a confirmed Erl Nano clone for $12.80 with coupon code "Aug20", with free shipping!. The pic looks like a full size but it is a booboo, this is a nano.

This is the only place we believe this atty is still available and if you want one and don't have one now is the time for this price!... no brainer, one of the best MTL RTAs of all time:
TOBECO ERLKONIGIN MINI RTA REBUILDABLE TANK ATOMIZER CLONE

Masters.

But, that said, we really HAVE fallen head first for the little Earl boy. There's truly something to be said about a NON-LEAKY atty!!!!!!

The stock delrin drip tip is "fine". I'm preferring the adapter(s) so that I can bling up whatever I want on top.

Based upon this statement, I have one on order.

It's an excellent MTL vape. Watch Q's vid, and wick it like he does and it will be good. Wispy tails going down in the juice channels. I have used mine w/o the black ring afc ring and it's been fine that way also.

As does DPL. I've left mine on, and it's STILL a super luscious vape.

The wolf in sheep's clothing. The beast within is the VVTF RBA. Granted, It's not for the squeamish, but I've gotten it down to just a dozen or so cuss words, when rebuilding. Once I got used to the pain..oops, I mean the coil installation, I can now pre-bend the coil legs, so they line up with the holes pretty well. It does take a little practice.

The coils have been lasting a few months. The routine maint isn't any worse than the KFL+V2. Pull the old wick, dry burn & re-wick. I think the flavor is outstanding.

Mr Glutton for Punishment, at your service!

I'm using the V2. I understand there's a V2A out now, that fixes the unstable resistance issue. The positive pin on the bottom screws on, and can come loose, causing the resistance to jump around. I think they used a different insulator in the V2A.

I the resistance jumped around on mine a bit, until I figured out what was causing it. Now, I just make sure it's tight, when I re-wick it. It's been stable ever since.

Monsieur Doug, is there a visible way to ID the V1 from the V2? I THINK mine is a V2, but if (when?) I ever list it, I'd sure like to be klear on which it is.

I know of this nifty little RBA that fits the Naut Mini, Kabuki, and a few other tanks, that you just gotta check out!

I'm just messin' with ya. I think I may be the only one on the planet that likes it.

And I'm goin' with YES, you just might be!

I was at a kids party today and I kept telling parents how it's my 1 year vaping anniversary and it's obvious I'm WAY more excited about today!
That's why I love you guys, you all know what a big deal this is!

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE congrats, Chelzie! A YEAR????????? WOWWWWWWWWWWW!

Congrats, girl. So very happy for you!!

Good thing I have my new rule in place: wait at least a few hours before buying a recommended product. For one to see if there's better deals and secondly, to actually do some research on what I'm potentially buying!

See? You're a vape master now!!!!!!

Pico mega ordered! Should I use 18650 or26650 batteries??

w-h-a-t? wasn't that one you ordered before and didn't like it?

I've been having trouble signing in hope you are well my friend!

Welcome back, Skold!

@Katdarling thank you SO much for the well wishes.
Yes, I did buy a mega by accident some time ago but I never even opened the box and just exchanged it. Now that I'm interested in 2 battery devices, I thought I'd give it a try!

 

[ChelsB]

Tried again. Same specs but 24g kanthal A1. And it's reading 1.47!!!!???
ETA: reads differently when I press the coil directly to the reader ? I'm super stumped!

Now we're at 3.91??

 

[Katdarling]

Double your pleasure, dear one.

 

[brewbear]

Check the 510 pin on the atty, if it is an rba, they have a tendency to loosen up slightly. Check the 510 connection on the ohm reader, residual juice from an atty could've gotten in.

 

[ChelsB]

Double your pleasure, dear one.

And BTW darlin', you have an amazing memory that you remember that! I'm impressed!

Never had the V1. It reminds me of a Lilliputian size STM RBA. 1st pic is a V1 and 2nd pic is a V2.

Subtank RBA? Possibily not really tight in the base, so the base to RBA connection isn't good.

Uh, Pico mega is a single battery mod...

That just dawned on me. For some reason I assumed both were 2 battery devices. My ignorance shining through again!

Thank you, I was trying to remember the blasted thing's name. The little post in the rba gets loose sometime, otherwise, like you said.

Wow, me too! Especially since I can't even recall breakfast this morning.... wait. give me a minute. still thinking...

OH! A 1/2 a banana!!!!!!

Yikes, my pic is terribly small. Can you ID, dahlink? I'm thinking V2, but would appreciate another pair of eyes.

 

[ChelsB]

At least I can use the more powerful battery in it. At least that's what I'm telling myself!

Is there an advantage in testing the coil directly on the meter as opposed to going in through the bottom part of the tank?

That an RBA for the subtank? If so, make sure the RBA is making good contact with the 510 pin on the bottom of the tank. Gunk can get in there and mess things up. Also the threading where the RBA screws in.

Thanks! Yep, it's an stm RBA.

 

[DavidOck]

The Subtank RBS isn't 510 threaded, just the base, so you can't really read just the rba - it won't screw in. But, yes, that system does introduce another connection, another place to look for higher than expected resistance.

If you had a handheld DMM, you could read just the rba, but what you really want to know is the value of the fully assembled atomizer.

All on the same page I see...

Good to know! What's a DMM?
