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

[Topwater Elvis]

I just pulled out the rba I bought a while ago for the STM nano and I guess I never really looked at it. No juice holes??!! WTH? How could this not be a crappy vape?
Any thoughts as to why they chose to forgo juice holes?

Those vape very well, especially with 50/50, you have to try to make one flood.
Down side & the reason they changed to the holes in body style, folks that use high% vg sometimes struggle with slow to very slow wicking = dry hits & singed/burnt wicking.

Oh, and Howdy TP'ers

Thanks! You’re always SO helpful! It annoys me to see people being rude to you when all you’re doing is trying to help (on another thread). I appreciate all the guidance you’ve provided [emoji4]

I’m excited to get my first 3 battery mod, a Wismec Reuleaux rx200! Batteries are all charged and ready! I imagine it’ll be a pretty heavy mod but am excited about increased battery life!

And here I am still using a mod that takes a single 14500 battery (and use at most 2 batteries a day).
Guess I am a Tootle Puffer Extreme.

Did you perform the proper ceremony & vow exchange between cells, Chels.
Was it an official or civil union, probably civil, considering the three way marriage and all.

Lol! It’s illegal as it’s polygamy!
I have 3 of the same batteries (in case you were concerned that I didn’t know that[emoji4])

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Not concerned at all, you gotz this.

Once again I’m on my journey to using all metal drip tips as I just broke another acrylic one. In vaping 1.5 years, that brings the total to at least 7 broken drip tips (but coincidentally, only 2 or 3 broken tank glass.

I have one of those too that came with a 2nd hand kit I bought. I don't see it being a very good vape either so I never used it. I used a triangular file and filed the groove wider and deeper, built a 1.0Ω coil, wicked it like I did with my kayfuns and it didn't do too bad. It handled the build fine but I spent the coil then put it away for that rainy day. I also got a few of I guess newer version of STM RBA that have a smaller hole in the chimney, don't see how that improves the vape either so I drilled them all out to match the older chimneys.
I never married batteries either, just as long as they were the same make and type I just grab 2 batts and into the mod they went and my batts last just fine.

No, I always married batteries. I heard it was a really bad idea to use unmarried batteries!
I’ll have to try the drill!!

 

[Katdarling]

I do.

I slowly bought 5 SMJY Subtank Minis in the past for the vapeocolypse. Two had the old (no holes) and the other three were V2 versions.

I have been using a bunch of KF V5 but just desiring a bit more air lately. I pulled out the STMs started cleaning and noticed the difference. Well, just yesterday I received the V2 RBAs from FT.

The KF V5s went through the dishwasher, I put a touch of PG on the seals and put them in their storage container.

I do notice that the STMs just naturally "cackle" a bit more. But, the airflow is easier and the coil stays cleaner since I run the same watts and same wrappings.

I imagine I will switch to another set of toppers eventually, but I am glad that I updated my STMs to V2 RBAs.

I really wish I could find more Squape Rs toppers...

Yep, some of mine definitely crackle!

I make my own driptips out of Delrin and/or nylon and have never broken a driptip in the 6 odd years I've been vaping, and I know Fasttech carry some so you don't have to go metal if you don't want to ...

Here's one type $2.12 (Free Shipping) Authentic Skullvape POM 510 Drip Tip for IJOY EXO Atomizer (2-Pack) (12mm, Black, 2-Pack) at m.FastTech.com but there are many others

I find that a fully charged 18650 will easily last a full KF. Since I'm never without at least two mods I've not had any problems going a day without a recharge. Don't have even any two battery devices

Fine until you chip a tooth! I've never liked metal tips. Other materials are, for me, a lot easier on the teeth, and cheap enough that it's not a concern.

Is this small rip cause for a re-wrap or is it not a big deal?

IMHO any rip is cause for a re-wrap, but just JMHO, Better to be safe than sorry.
