Really? Are you serious? I can do a 1 foot length in about a minute with bad hands and bad eyes. LOL
This here WOCW (wicked over candle wick) has been just phenomenal. 2.2 ohm, 3.6 volts and my Wife keeps walking through the room flapping her arms fanning the steam away. Next thing you know She'll be having me take it outside. LOL

Just thinking out loud here. But maybe some of us who can get there set ups working real good, Could rebuild somebodies set up thats not working so good. Not mentioning anybodies name. Cough, cough, Cyrus, Cough, cough, Vap. Cough, cough Tom, cough cough, Catt. :laugh::laugh: We could have like a adopt a vapor program. Whaddya think?


Mine have been working great, road. It's just after a day or so with the SRT the wick looks like it has been dragged through liquid dog crap and it starts to taste like it has too. And this is from a clear DIY juice. I recently made a new batch of my ADV (All Day Vape) juice (200mL), so I'm really hoping it's not the juice - it starts out tasting fine. I've actually doubled my juice usage since getting the SRTs, so that may be part of it.

You guys get the feeling the Chinese have dialed right in to our need for the latest vaping gimmick?...somewhere in Guangdong province, SMOK sits a dozen guys in front of computers with pirated OS's and hacked CAD software...they then send their design de jour down to the pot metal/casting/plating factory...dress it up with some pretty coloured poly carb and throw a couple pics up on their site to create the "buzz"...then short sell the devices that have a production unit price of $.30/ea. to the Madvapes of the world for $5 ea., they then send freebie's to the usual You Tube reviewers, increasing the "buzz", then go out of stock "temporarily"...which then amps the buzz to a frenzy...

...we all finally get one, realize it's a piece of sh.. so we then fix what the CAD boys should have done to begin with (grinding off all the plating and exposing all the lead, mercury and cadmium in their mystery metal in the process)...then talk about it on ECF for a couple hundred posts...then voilà, something new comes along... rinse and repeat :laugh:

...4 wick holes and screw off tubes!...I have to get one of those (in blue)

And if you look closely at the RBA pic...like wth...look where the coil connects are, then it looks like another level with a metal tube (with the air hole)...how's that supposed to work?...I'm really starting to wonder whether these things are even being proto'd or not...or are they just using Photoshop to create new products...again, now that the Chinese have read the RBA writing on the wall, expect a flood of this crap to start coming down the pipe...there's an entire cottage industry in eastern Europe and Greece that's gonna tank...how tough do you think it would be for them to create an GGTS/Ody knock-off for $100?...it's not like Imeo patents the stuff (like China would even care if he did?)

Iv'e been using my clear diy unflavored joose with nic for a couple of weeks now and it stay really clear and no off taste. I did notice on another CE-2 that the store bought joose, even a couple drops added will darkens up real fast and gets watery especially if I crank the heat. I usually have to dump it out and start again.:blink:
I also think the bigger the tank, the more backwash/watery it gets.

Strange, all my juices get thicker from backwash almost honey like. You must be getting some water condensation back to your juice that is thinning it.

There's been talk of this elsewhere. I like the comparison to cars - the new knockoffs are your everyday Toyotas, Chevys, Fords, etc good to get you around to where you're going; the original SGV3s, Odys, DIDs, etc are the Porsches and Ferraris, performance and prestige. But not everybody is driving a Porsche or a Ferrari. :D
