Love that atomizer stand! I have been thinking about getting a stand lately, but I haven't really liked what I have seen that's available.
Today... I wicked my new Pharaoh RTA on the Alien 220w, and she's vaping great!

Nice what brand is it?
Nice haul. Yea I read some news stories about the TPD stuff going on, pretty insane. I'm not an advocate for smoking by any means but they seem to be losing their minds over there. I don't think anyone ever considered it 'healthy' but the muddy brown packs along with huge photos of grotesque health issues. If they're so concerned why don't they plaster huge photos of liposuction and obese people being lifted out of their homes by cranes on junk food? Better yet, why don't prescription meds come with huge grotesque photos of all their side effects. I suppose they'd need larger packaging to fit photos of all those ills on them.
They suggest they're concerned about kids getting hurt/sick by ejuice being in 30ml bottles so they've reduced it to 10ml max. With many people getting scared into making their own juice many have been scooping up 75mg or higher nicotine by the 500ml bottle (liters worth). I'm sure if a kid gets into one of those it would be much less harmful than a 3-6mg 30ml bottle that people would normally have if they weren't pressured into looking into alternatives by the regulations.
They're talking about limiting tanks to 2ml capacity as well. Who knew that my old plastic carto tanks would be illegal for being 'too big' lmao. This was my first kit after trying cigalikes. Now in the UK it would make me an 'outlaw'.

How do you like the RBA for the Baby?Well it was yesterday but...I picked up the RBA kit for my baby beast and picked up a snakeskin drip tip for my TFV8. Both at a local shop called MadVapes. The RBA was only $10 and the tip was $7. Atleast I got to pick the color.
So far so good. Not a ton of room but enough for use with the nano. It's the same as the big baby rba but obviously less juice capacity. Definitely more flavor than the prebuilt coils I have tried on it.
I really like the RDA in my Big Baby's !!! The snakeskin driptip looks very nice. It took me a couple times to get the wicking right on the rba but once I got it down it worked great.Well it was yesterday but...I picked up the RBA kit for my baby beast and picked up a snakeskin drip tip for my TFV8.

Yeah, the first wicking leaked all over the place. I still think I need just a bit more wick. Going to rewick again later.
I am really happy with the tip. High quality really.
I checked the tracking on my vape mail! 5 orders coming in within the next week.
Same here but mine comes in tomorrow
Although its one order 
One order is better than no orders! In any case after all these orders arrive I won't be buying much for a while.Same here but mine comes in tomorrow
I've heard that story before, even told it.One order is better than no orders! In any case after all these orders arrive I won't be buying much for a while.
Most of them are. I finally found a local shop with fair prices. I understand they will usually charge a bit more but anything over 10% on most things is outrageous. Definitely buyer beware.Stopped by a local vape shop after work to buy some cotton..$9.00 for a bag of v2 cotton bacon..fuckin thieves...hate vape shops
I love my Zenith! But I have the orange.Ordered this !!! Couldnt resist Purple and Gold

Out of curiosity, does the lack of a screen increase battery life?
Sent from my SM-T377P using Tapatalk
You know, I don't know. The Zenith last more than a day for me and I chain vape a lot. I like how simple it is and how small it is for a 3 battery mod.
Looking forward to giving it a try. Thought it would be good to use while making long road trips.

Yes, the top trigger is awesome while on the go. You can hit the trigger very easily without too much thought.
Watched lots of video reviews and everyone seemed to like it. Looks like a simple, powerful vape

I take this mod kayaking. No screen to be concerned with and quick to remove batteries.
Quite a bit!

Free shipping (over $50) and cheap juice via sale + 30% off coupon. Watermelon flavor is super cheap ($3.50 for 60ml)
Bought from VaporL.com
*Joyetech Cuboid 200 ($18.75 with 50% off coupon) + $5 shipping ($23.75 total). Psyched to pair it with ArcticFox and my smaller atomizers.

So far, hanging out with the people on VU and goofin' off while I vape. But right now, the dog needs to pee. I'll take my vape with me, though.
Replaced the coil in my ammit and rewicked it. Wasn't getting decent flavor and got fed up enough to fix it. Figured I'd do something while it rained since it rained in the middle of assembling a new bbq grill. Not sure what the deal is, I bought some premade mkws half staggered fused clapton and just haven't been able to get it working for me.
Ended up replacing it with my own twisted ss316 26g and figured I'd try a parallel coil so used a single strand of 26g ss316 along with it. 6 wraps at 3.5mm id came out at .224 ohms. At 48-50w it's working pretty well so far. Flavor improved 100% so I consider it a win. More flavor and a warm 'wet' vape for lack of better description vs the premade mkws which was a more airy 'scratchy' vape. It was starting to irritate my throat and wasn't a dry hit, the wick was wet. Just no bueno.
Bad photo, cruddy camera, enough to get the idea though.

I was running errands with my older son today, so we decided to stop by the vape shop. We picked up 3 build decks for our Baby Beasts and a couple of bottles of juice.
It was my first time working with the BB decks. They came with coils already installed, so I just had to wick (after double-checking them on the ohms reader). I put some Scottish roll wicks in, primed it and gave it to my son to try. He's never tried any RDA/RTAs before, so it was a new experience for him. I swear I saw some of his veins pop out in his head as he tried to take a hit on it. It was firing fine, the ohms on the tester thingie was fine, I couldn't figure out what it was. Hot juice was pouring out of it, too. So I ended up taking it apart.
FORTY very aggravating minutes later, I discovered the problem. When I wicked it, I accidentally put the tail ends of the wick in the air holes instead of the juice holes. ROFL Re-wicked, fired it up and he is in love with it, blowing HUGE clouds with lots of flavor.
Live and learn.

That's hilarious. Pretty sure most of us have done dumb things, at least it was a simple fix. Sometimes mistakes are bonuses, especially if they go wrong like that. Makes it easier to remember what not to do and avoid repeating it. lol.I was running errands with my older son today, so we decided to stop by the vape shop.

Gathered gloves & TB syringes to DIY my first batch of juice. Now I'm vaping while procrastinating making it, as I don't like failing.

Only one way to know, right? Go mix, dude! It's fun.
I did. Flavor is good but weak right now. I'll wait & see if steeping helps. Cheers!
And yes, it was fun!

I'm sorry to inform you sir, but there's no known cure at this time for "Shinyitis". I'm afraid it's terminal.
Polish the crap out of this with 0000 steel wool, than 100% cotton and some compound.
it's still not as mirror as I want it. I'll have to do another round after work or tmrw morning. got a 9 hrs shift today :/
did not Polish rda because I like the patina on the rda.
