Yep. I have several more pieces. This was one of the least pretty and with the most imperfections.
They keep sending me USB portable fans. LolAs you can see, it’s snug in there. The Sanyo 20700.
Extended charging of it would definitely rip the wrap right off , I’m assuming [laugh]
Can’t wait to see how the VC4 performs/looks.
Oh. I also got 2 more 30Qs because shipping one battery doesn’t make sense. I was wondering why they sent me a big box for 3 batteries. Free gift ! Flashlight. I’m a flashlight snob too though so I know it’s just a $9 light , if that. But free is always good(I’m a Fenix fanboy)

My D4 fits 21700! Why wont yours fit 20700?I just ordered this because my Nitecore D4 will not fit 20700s, as I just found out. SANYO NCR20700B is coming tomorrow, yay.

Awesome! Who can't always use an extra flashlight? I just ordered almost 80$ worth of batteries and 2 chargers. I got 4 free battery cases with the order. Liion is the best!
Awesome. I also love IMRBatteries but they were out of stock.
I wanted to show one of my friends how “bright “ it was , comparing it to the Fenix PD35. Hilarity ensued.

Decided to chase some clouds so set it up and chased some clouds.
Cleaned and rewicked the Titan RTA and vaped it (still vaping it)
Ordered some 20700 and 21700 batteries. Popped one of my 21700 on a flashlight. Decided to grab some 20700's.
Lubed the last of my RTA's. Ordered some more food grade lube. I wish I had learned about this stuff a long time ago.
Ordered a bunch of o rings in various sizes
Now laying on the couch, vaping with the wife.

I was rebuilding when I nudged my handy-dandy much-loved Bondhus off the end of the vanity so that it looked to fall into the slim crack of space between the vanity and wall! D'oh! Can't move the vanity without undoing all the piping... way too much trouble... could not see between the wall and vanity... spent 20m with an old coat hanger trying to drag it out... decided to pull off the toe-kick on the bottom of the vanity to see if I could access it that way... nope... and FINALLY after 40m of this, wondered if maybe it didn't actually fall between there...and lifted the hand towel away that was on top of the vanity... and ...there it was doing a 
. Still have to put the toe-kick back!
But my mod is nice and clean and hitting great with a new set of coils. (Note to self: caulk space and always check under the hand towel.)
EDIT: For anyone who uses an L-wrench to remove deck screws, do yourself a favor and get one of those Bondhus drivers... doesn't have to be from that link (no affiliation) but makes rebuilding take two seconds. Had mine 2 yrs and no stripped screws since I got it. Get the right size for your deck, obviously... this 1.27mm fits Aromamizer Supreme, Grffin and other decks.

I mixed a bit today.....a few experiments and a few known loves. Drip tip shopped. Updated some recipes. Tested a few other experiments. Tweaked what I needed to. Did some research on pumpkin recipes......

Finally after years of trying got the missus on an RTA. This sounds like a small thing, but it is huge. Now I can stop buying factory coils. A Clieto RTA kit did the trick.
I replaced the cotton in one coil of my medusa reborn, and sucked down about 20ml of strawberry cheesecake and game over custard. Still working on it. May make 30ml before I call it a day.
Twisted up some plain old Clapton wire 26 awg SS316 w/ 30 awg Ni80, vaped using my Coppervape & Gorge and also a Pico Squeeze & Wasp nano.
Well PayPal choked when I tried to place my order for the Wotofo yesterday, so that gave me time to do more shopping (never a good thing) and now am reassessing... think I will pick up a modest 30mm wide mod and go for a larger tank than the 24mm Serpent.
Wish the [Footoon Aqua -wrong!] Wotofo Profile was not a squonker ... that's the only kind of mesh deck I'd be interested in, as don't have to buy mesh coils and the easiest build I have ever seen on any deck... just pick up some SS mesh (RDA probably comes with kanthal) and fat organic cotton (on hand). Aside from flavor, it's also SUPER QUIET.... another con of the Serpent. But not into squonking, esp with 100% VGA... (<-- LOL! VG auto-becomes VGA from working in the computer industry in the old days!) more research required this afternoon... which is what I will be doing that's vape-related. And spending money, also vape-related.

D'oh! Looked at too many things yesterday... it's the Profile by Wotofo, not the Footoon!
The Profile comes with a standard 510 pin. You don't have to use it as a squonker.
Wow! Thanks!
I am intrigued by it and might just give it a shot even though it isn't what I had in mind when I started this... I just really like the build deck. I assume if it comes with kanthal mesh I could use SS mesh instead... I'm used to TC and prefer it, esp with max VG... Damn... have to run out now for an appt but am looking into that this afternoon! Thanks again!EDIT: before running out I looked at the deck again... the well just isn't large enough for max VG without dripping constantly (it IS an RDA after all) but might get one to replace my current dripper... and the search for an RTA continues and will look into some of the other suggestions here...

True, the juice well is shallow because it was designed to be a squonking rda. With all the cotton it takes though, it'll soak up a ton of juice. You can probably hit it as many times before dripping as an rda with a deck twice as deep if you're using the mesh. In mesh mode, it'll take a third more cotton than two 3mm coils. In single coil use, yeah, you'd have to drip it every couple of draws.

I had a helluva time adjusting to RDTA/RTAs, but now that I have, the only time I want to use my factory coil tanks is when I'm driving. Still not quite confident enough that the RDTAs and RTAs won't leak out in my purse. I had that happen once - not an RDTA or RTA, but a Kabuki that I didn't get screwed back together right. When I went to take it out of the pocket inside my purse, the tank pulled right apart, and dumped about 3 ml of juice onto the lining of my purse. I was pissed.
Well, now that I think of it, I do use my Geekvape Illusion Mini tanks quite a bit, too, with Atlantis-style Vaporesso ccell coils. One of those tanks has become my driving tank, though, because it holds more liquid than some of my others.
When I get my feet under me a little better, maybe I can switch to using my Zeus RTA as a driving tank. It's supposed to be leakproof, but of course, I have managed to get it to leak by putting it back together incorrectly. Have done ok the last couple of times, though.
Mechanically inclined, I am not.
When all is said and done, though, I probably have enough coils of various kinds to last me the rest of my life, unless I radically change the way I vape. It will be nice to not have to buy coils.

I ordered another clieto RTA kit this morning so she can keep one built and change them herself. I will just redo the other as part of maintenance. I am super pumped. She is also moving towards bigger airflow.

Just keep in mind...that single-coil Zeus is a wondrous piece of gear. Once she's used to more airflow, she might really like one of them.
The Hussar clones are great for restricted lung hits. Best tank I have now, I think, and I got it for next to nothing from Chef. Have another on the way from 3FVape. There aren't many places that carry them, unless you want to plunk down a couple hundred bucks on an authentic.

We will get there one day. I have no shortage of RTA's I know she would love. Slow and steady and we will get there. Then one day I will have to put a lock on my stash.

Yeah, one day it'll click with her. You've got that right. Better start thinking about hiding places!

Ok, a literal LOL on that one.
I don't have a lot of things that are "mine" anymore. Everything is "ours". Only things that are mine anymore is computer, musical instruments and vape stuff.

Understood. I kinda feel that way more about my kids than my husband, though. He and I have a lot of separate stuff because our interests are so different. Plus he's a lot more organized than me, so his stuff is all put up. I don't know, for example, where a hammer is. If anything needs hammering, it has to wait until he can do it.

I keep the hammers under lock and key to avoid being hit with one.
Me too buddy. Gotta remember, you're only 3ft tall when you're asleep.

That's when they get you. Sleeping peacefully and then all of a sudden its game over.
Vaping upstairs currently using the Coppervape with the Gorge RDA. I came up and spooled off some 28 awg NiChrome 80, folded it over through a hook and crimped the ends together with vice pliers. Wrapped the resulting two strands of 28 awg with 30 awg NiChrome 80 to give myself roughly 12 - 14 inches of fused Clapton wire. Been vaping on the Pico Squeeze with a Wasp Nano downstairs. Have a brass Coppervape up here with a brass Wasp Nano I alternately draw off. Well, that's what I've done today vape related.
Snapped some pics of a beater mod for @KingPin!'s new challenge thread. http://vapingunderground.com/threads/the-vu-beater-mod-challenge-closes-10-24-18.440694/
Finally got around to twisting all of my Alien Wire to where they could be flattened and turned into proper coils, but my wrist is aggravating me and the tension I keep using my fingers is causing some issues, so, I’m wrapping them in batches
Rebuilt my RR2.
Tweaked a recipe I was trying out that mutated overnight...but now it seems to be rocking pretty good
The Rich Cinnamon is different than what I could put on ELR...it was waaaaayy too strong even with one drop in a 30ml bottle, so I put two drops of it in a 5ml bottle and filled the rest of the 5mg bottle with VG and used two drops of that heavily diluted flavor and now it seems to be what I was going for.

This looks lovely.....Rich Cinnamon is a beast. I’ve definitely been in the mood for butterscotch/caramel these days, too.Finally got around to twisting all of my Alien Wire to where they could be flattened and turned into proper coils, but my wrist is aggravating me and the tension I keep using my fingers is causing some issues, so, I’m wrapping them in batches

Are your a brain ninja? You must be a brain ninja, because I accidentally left the juice at work and was going to mix some up tonight, but instead of using the Rich Cinnamon, I was going to try a Caramel or Hazelnut (or both) flavor with the next batch.

Some have called me a brain ninja.......lol! Actually, not, but I think you have a good start with your recipe! Adding a bit of caramel will definitely work, I think. And a touch of hazelnut? Yum.
Pretty sure I'm getting a new series 20700 mod today so went ahead and ordered some more batteries. Also trading for a broadside tube locally. Woohoo. Made some Struuuberry Custard also
