Oh, I did get vape mail...WTAs I ordered a while back finally came.
I had also gotten a new Falcon tank this week which I broke out for the occasion.
The tank is stunning and vapes super smooth. Excellent coils. It has a rainbow glass tank which is really pretty and nice resin finish. Great taste, too. This is the first tank I’ve bought on its own, and I love it.
The alkaloids are great, too. So chain vaping, be gone!!

Fun night tonight. Breazy, I’ll shop with you again! (Predictive bs kept changing it to “breast.” Lol)

excellent on the WTA

great stuff :)

No shit? Same thing happened to me 2 Thursdays ago. BP was way up, chest was hurting, breathing was strained... boss said get to the doc, so I did. Blood samples, 3 docs, 2 chest xrays and 4 ekgs, and 1 trip to the ER later, I got told I have early stage pneumonia. Fun way to spend a vaca. At least I got to spend time hanging out with my pals. Didn't require much energy to hang here. I go back to work this Thursday for one whole day, then it's my weekend. :crazy:

I'm glad you're better. <3 Crazy stuff!
:hug: Thank goodness you’re ok :hug:

Other than being short about 20 vials of blood I'm not feeling too bad. I woke up at 1 am on Sunday short of breath and having chest pain, was concerned that I was having a heart attack. They ruled that out, finally, and said what happened was probably a combination of sleep apnea, esophageal reflux, and a hiatal hernia. I have more follow_up appointments than I even want to think about. Thanks for asking! :hug:
WOW! I just saw this. Yes, so glad you're ok!

I’m a few days behind so...on Saturday my Zeus X came. I built it and it immediately went to gurgling like hell. I ended up pouring about a quarter of the juice out, which appears to have fixed the issue. I put it on my Aegis Legend. So far I like the original Zeus better but time will tell.
The Zeus X needs a TON of cotton in the wells. Much more than you would think if it were another tank. No "dam method" here, stuff it in there. Unless you REALLY overdo it, it will wick fine with no dry hits.

Yes, @Huckleberried I'm not sure I actually said this, but I am very glad you're ok and hope, since you have to work tomorrow, that you're very nearly back to normal. Sometimes that first day back can be an unpleasant surprise - you feel fine until you get up and at 'em, then you realize how weak you still are. I hope you don't experience that, but if you do, I hope you can tell someone and then go home again.

I had put a 4mm single coil in it and used a lot of cotton. I filled up the wicking channels with cotton. I did not thin the tails, but then, I hardly ever do.

I pulled it apart just now and think what happened was that the airflow chimney wasn't in exactly the right place, plus I had just a tad of cotton hanging over that could have been caught up by something when I screwed the thing together. I fiddled with it a little, put it back together, added more juice to it, and it's vaping great now.

I still am hesitant to fill it up as much as I did initially, but shoot, I'll take a chance on it next time it needs filling. For now, fingers crossed, it seems to be doing well. The airflow is wonderful and smooth now, less turbulent than before, and the flavor is great.

I've never used a single coil in the Zeus X, but even with duals I had flooding like the Mississippi in springtime until I figured out that those wells need to be packed good. It doesn't flood at all for me now, which is the good news. It can be tamed :)

You've been at this alot longer than I have. I know you'll get it where you want it.

I'm running dual 2mm coils in my Zeus x with thin wicks and even thinned the tails. Have had no leaking, gurgling, spitting, etc.
Running a large single in the Zeus dual with a fat wick and it gurgles for the 1st few hits on a fresh filled tank. I am using a different cotton in this one though.
Go figure. lol

Only vape mail for me today was outgoing. :(

Yeah, I don't how you're pulling that off at all :D
The first 2 times I think that I wicked mine, I was using dual 3mm and not really thinned out too much and I had half the tank emptying into the chamber. As in, if I turned it upside down juice would run outta the drip tip.

If you have the opportunity next time you open it up, I'd be interested to see what you have in there. There's a Zues X thread around here somewhere.

Couple of squonks and a free disposable pod.

More $20 Geekvape Nova kits-

Edit- Wow didn't notice they both look the same in this pic. But ones gunmetal and the other is stainless (or silver).

Never had a Hercules tank. This is the plus or pro whatever.. five bucks. Pack of coils three bucks at 8vape.

A free pod kit. This one already has juice in it too. Moti?

I got the mesh coils to see if they'd work in the Profile. OFRF is my favorite but these are about half the price. Anyways it looks like they'll fit. Here's a comparison photo-

If they're any good, I'll post about it in the Profile thread.

Is that the OG Pico Squeeze? If so, where did you find it?

@JuicyLucy!! Look!

Can't be a lot longer, hon. I just started using RDAs and wrapping a few coils a few months ago. When I came here to VU in Feb 2018, I was vaping Kabuki clones with Nautilus Mini coils and using single battery regulated mods.

ETA: My first RTA came from the Hardware thread here in July 2018. Looking at my eBay purchases, I bought a Drop Solo and a Berserker Mini in Oct 2018. That was about the time I started using a few rebuildables, so I guess it's been almost a year.

I spoke to soon on the Doom RTA!
I'm getting dry hits like crazy!
I've re-wicked 3 times now and it seems like shortly after the juice from the wicking process gets used up I start getting dry hits.
I'm sure it's wicking but I've searched YouTube and everyone of them have a different technique.

I'll update when I get it figured out if I do.

It is just not wicking right.

Update.
I think I have the Doom figured out.

It's been working perfectly for several days now.
You basically need to forget everything you've learned about wicking an RTA and follow this guide.

I saw yours and it pushed me over the edge to get one from vapor range. Got a green and I guess yellows. Hopefully it's nice. I've always wanted one.

I sat on the fence for a while before I broke down and bought one- loved my 1st one so much I bought a 2nd one!
I think you will love it.
