That was always my problem with bottom af.

Tis why I lean more towards side air flow. I really want the bonza dead rabbit and the drop. I fell in love with side air flow in the jaybo indestructible and my buddies goon. I returned it after a week, didn't want too but he lent me it so long as I gave it back clean and unscathed.

Today I cleaned and rebuilt my Prime clone and Wasp Nano. That Wasp, thassa neat little guy right there. And there's nothing quite like that first hit on some new wire for a daily driver. Easy to forget how muted things get after a while.

I also rebuilt my Kensei, and for the first time in for-freaking-ever, I swapped back to kanthal 24g for a couple of macro coils. I gotta say, I don't know if it's because I'm used to stainless, or if it's all psychosomatic but I just am not digging this. Maybe it's the juice, last of a bottle of not-my-finest, maybe it'll get better with the next tank of something different... but I dunno, I'm just not having a great time with it today.

Ordered a Praxis tube mod clone from FT to use as parts.

Built my 2 functional clapton coil and first ever fused clapton. Happily vaping the fused clapton in the Pulse 22 on the Inbox. The clapton, while functional, wasn't a good vape and has been placed in the round file and the experience placed in memory. 32g wrap over 26G core had ridiculous ramp time. 24Gx2 with 34d wrap works much better.

Today I got 2 more 10 strip packs of Cotton Bacon from FT and cleaned/rewicked a squonk atty.
I tried whatever Japanese cotton today that came with the wasp.Blah, one squonkful and I changed that right back to the bacon. Guess I'm spoiled because all I tasted was a t-shirt.

I figured there's a first time for everything but in that case I should've never tried that.

I do have a little box full of the little bags of cotton that came with various attys though.
Just hate to throw it out but suppose I should.

A couple of attys came pre wicked but I pulled that out and put my cotton in.
Then usually very soon replaced the coil as well since I did not like it either ;)

Spun out the rest of the Aliens I had prepped and straightened the corkscrew out of the wire last night...wrapped them into coils today. I don’t have much of a thumbprint left since that’s what I used to hold tension on the screwdriver while wrapping...crime spree time!

I realized I wasn't vaping custard and hadn't in a couple weeks. I made a 5% single Vanilla Custard from DIY Flavor Shack and it's Delicious.

Then I spent 2 hours tinkering at a drill, got poked by wire, and made a funky staggered clapton thing.

I sent an email to CS at Fasttech about my November 28 order.

Well it was the holidays, good time for China to flip customers the bird I guess.

It was literally my only Christmas presents, but then I won a couple things on the forums so I guess that counted too! I'm not worried about it

New triple core alien and wick for the vanilla latte test run. I hope I like it enough to make it through 8ml. Ha ha. Oh yeah and my SS wire will be here tomorrow, so I'll see y'all on the dark side of building.

Well shit that was a bust. Don't buy this juice unless you like straight coffee. I guess it's just a hard flavor to get right. Going to my ex-wife as she loves coffee. I knew better too is the shitty part.

"well shit that was a bust" may as well be my middle name for everything DIY vape related :giggle:
Por exemplo, I have about 80 mL left of what could have been a great Caramel.Cream mix, if I had cleaned all the root beer out of the empty bottle. So caramel root beer it is!

Today I went to my favorite local vape shop - Charlie’s Vape Bar and Lounge - and bought a Pulse mod and drip tip to pair with my brand new Dead Rabbit SQ. I also picked up Naked100 Lava Flow. They put new builds on my attys and I’m back to absolutely loving my collection of vapes!

The Dead Rabbit SQ / Pulse mod combo is phenomenal. It has a beefy single coil inside. Vaping on Naked100 Maui Sun.

Had to rewick the new wasp. Made a big mistake and forgot to wash the damn thing when I got it. Had an off taste to it and I honestly thought it was the new n80 coils but I was happily mistaken. Also wondered if it may be the resin top cap. Hell it still may be. I've cleaned the bottle and tube to no avail. Hopefully washing it out does the trick

I love the Wasp but have no plans to get a resin one.
Resin does tend to give off chemicals and such in tiny amounts for a long time and when heated.
How well it works out for the Wasp I do not know.

I honestly debated finding another cap for it. Even after super cleaning the whole thing I still taste a almost fun on top of the strawberry milk.guess I should've just got the ultem. Dammit I wanted a black cap for my wraith mod

Ultem handles heat and such better then Polycarb caps too which is the ONLY reason I got the Ultem ones.

Open a claim with PayPal. 2 months is a ridiculous amount of time to have to wait for a refund.

Special circumstances... I always used Paypal with FT, but this was a gift paid for by my mom who believes Paypal are crooks...so...she used her card directly *hands in the air*

Guess I'm gonna work on some fused claptons. Got dragged away last night to be DD for a friend of mines country music show. Now supposed to practice today and same guy is a no-show. Damn kids and their lack of responsibility. My 12yr old daughter is more responsible. Geez

Completely disassembled this little druga box, cleaned and put back together. Glad I did, all the connections were getting loose. Everything is snugged back up and good to go for another week before i check and clean it again.

I have the 18650 version of the captain, that way I can keep using my 30q's. Speaking of which, will probably need to place an order at Liion wholesale for some more, got a mod I have my eye on, or may just grab another captain :)
I didn't realize they made a 18650 version. Mine have the bigger batteries. Theres a rubber sleeve adaptor for 18650s but I never tried it.

Mine is just a pure 18650 version, I got it from the trading post, but with a bit of google fu it looks like the price for just the mod is ~50 to 60 bucks. I'm talking about the ijoy captain pd1865, not sure if it's the the kind you're using though. I don't have my phone so I can't take a picture for you to compare, sorry.

So far all i've done is take a couple vape breaks at work. My rta is pissing me off lately. It just doesn't want to wick. I'm thinking it might be the Japanese cotton i'm using. I rewicked it last night and it was working wonderfully. Now today i had to take the top off my rta to force it to wick :headbang:

I got two PD270 Captains. I read good things about the 20700 batteries. When shopping for a mod last summer I found out about them. I was sold when I found out the batteries came included with the mod for $49.99. I liked it so much I got another.

The batteries are bigger and longer. They barley fit in my charger slots. It's really a tight fit. Thats what I was referring to before.

Which RTA?
Today I won't do anything vape related but vape, because I have to scramble to deal with the IRS and Financial Aid if I want to start classes next week as planned...

And scrub bird poop off of my parents' deck among other less yucky chores, might get paid for the work though.

Aromamizer plus. It's been my favorite rta for a while now. It's gotta be the cotton.

Idk if you've seen the aromamizer deck, but my tails arent even sticking through the botton of the deck hole. I've rewicked this thing 4 times since i ran out of cotton bacon.

Its just weird how it was working perfect last night. Actually it worked perfect until i had to take the top off to refill it. Maybe its a vacuum thing? i have no idea.

edit: mine did flood a little bit when filled it after rewicking. so it went from flooding to not wicking at all

Yeah man I've seen it... I had a Supreme v1 and the juice holes on the Plus are just one huge hole each side right? I don't think cotton is meant to go through them, just rest on top to make a wall but with space between the hole and the cotton - and it shouldnt flood at all filling cause it has a juice flow ring you can close off right?

And you know about burping right, tried that?
