Wait a minute. This is backwards. What'd I miss?
Typically it only takes 30 minutes to cure powder coat in the oven mine got left in 4ish hours at 500 degrees lol. Needless to say the inners were complete toast and the billet suffered some warpage on the thinner flat areas.
I cut out those areas and made the best of it.

Happy Thanksgiving to any Canadians here. Getting ready to have a feast
View attachment 186887

My vote would be that Canadians and Americans both celebrate Canadian and American Thanksgiving.

I like that better than the frozen pizza I'm probably having for dinner. Color me jealous! :) Happy Thanksgiving!

So you cut a boro well and a battery slot out of the other side?

Smile, damn you. It's okay, I still LYF :) I saw this mod at a few places and was a little intrigued. Had it been a 21700 I would of grabbed one.
I WAS JUST GETTING INTO WORK....NO SMILING ALLOWED...LOL
IL BE HONEST IF THERES ANYTHING IVE LEARNED IN THIS BORO WORLD AND I DONT KNOW IF THE OTHER BORO USERS HERE WILL AGREE. 18650, 21700 DOESN'T MATTER. THE BUILDS ARE HIGHER THAN MECHS SO YOU GET LIFE. THESE MODS BEING REGULATED, YOU TELL IT WHAT TO DO. WHEN I CARRY A MECH, I CARRY 2 CELLS IN A CASE. WHEN I CARRY A BORO DEVICE...JUST 1 IS NEEDED. THIS MOD FOR PRICE POINT...KEEPER. BUT IF YOU STILL LOOKING AT THAT WHITE I LINKED YOU....DO THAT ONE

21700 vs 18650 in Boro devices is all about the wattage and mass of your coil.

I can get about a day from a 30T in my StashBox… simple 28g coil (1ohm) at 13w

It suits the vape I want.

Do I need a higher mAh battery? No, not bothered from changing batteries once a morning.

These guys who vape 35-60w on BB’s and Stash21700’s with single coil fused and Aliens… no way they are getting a day out of a battery… unless they only vape 10ml or less a day.

Which is a much better way to measure battery life in real usage…

Cause I vape 20-30ml through the Stash a day and a 30T lasts all day.

Didn’t in the BB… had to swap cells at 7pm

Mech use… I’d be swapping batteries at least 5-8 times a day just on a single tube… below 3.8v charge said sag just made the vape poopy.

Good point. I run mine around 30/35 watts (sometimes only 20 watts) so ya, guess it really does not matter. I have that one coming today, the one you linked, but it is a light blue color.

Love it. Sure would like to find the ETU that takes the GTX and PnP coils. Looks like they are sold out everywhere.
Those GTX coils are really good.

I do have some clear panels coming and I did get one of those boro pads for the condensation. Haven't used that yet. Might not need it with the vapesnail. Figured it would be good to have one of them though

Barely any difference with a 3000mAh and 2600 mAh 18650 when you look at the voltage cutoff of 3.2v

A 15/18a 3000mAh battery will sag earlier than a 25a 2600mAh, basically nullifying said extra 400mAh.

Remember these ratings are down to 2.5v and more so in battery packs, mods don’t run down to 2.5v… and even if we set the voltage cutoff to 2.5v it will sag below that at or around 2.9-3.0v… all for maybe using up a total of more 55mAh? Which is what? 6 or 8 more puffs wattage/ coil mass dependent

Sort of why I don’t get P42As or 40Ts… I still would be swapping in the morning.

And not even accounting for the 15% loss in efficiency the DNA60/75 have

I managed to snag an SXK ETU PnP tank. I use it with the Wotofo SMRT PnP rebuildable coils. Put my BB back into serious rotation after sitting on the shelf and only being tinkered with for ages. IIRC, there is one model of either the BB or the Supbox that comes with the PnP tank. My Supbox came with the Smok RPM ETU...

Needless to say, use whatever battery, regardless if you only need one or ten.

If it’s inconvenient to swap batteries, then it’s truly the wrong mod to own

Or stop wearing skinny jeans where one can fit shit in your pockets

If you ever happen to see another, please holler. The Supbox does have the RPM one and I use the RPM RBA that I have. It's not bad actually. But those GTX coils are hard to beat. I mean, I sure like them at least.

Where'd you snag the RPM RBA?

Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
Oh gosh I have had it for years. Don't remember where I got it. Don't get the cloned one though. That one sucks. But the actual smok one is good. Maybe check source more or 2f deal? They might still have some
