So I am waiting for Ranger Vapes to open up the Pre-Order on the Purge B2B V5 in Brass... yup, brass... has a black fire button, figured it will be an alright mix. EvCigs has them already in stock and shipping... and taking orders on the all black one for $20 more... but I have $82 gift card for RV lol

Get that and ask Eric Simpson if he has an extra Guillotine .999 silver contact ( uses the same puck) that mod would be set and a rockin (belief, not proven )

Other places have it in stock with free shipping... damn gift card having me wait LOL

Yeah, what Don said :)

What's up man? :) I was thinking about you the other day when I took the screen out of that nugget I got from you because I killed the one in my other one. :wait:
I'm good thanks, you? How'd you kill a screen? This new format would take some getting used to, when did that change?

The forum software upgrade was a few weeks ago.

I got contact cleaner on/in the screen. Thankfully I had the other one, which I installed in the working mod.

I still haven;t gotten the one from you working again, but haven't given up on it yet either. Needs a screen now (a few bucks) and have to get up the nerve to try to solder those micro small contacts for the switch. Which I have an authentic BBV switch for it now.

Mostly Friday mid to late day... sometimes an hour before.

But there is an easy way if you don’t do FB, or someone doesn’t post up the colors.

When they post online the colors, they also update the site with the color ways, but have the add to cart option disabled til Saturday.

So in short, check the site late Friday evening and the colors available Saturday should all be listed

Make sure you’re logged in.

If you use Google Chrome, save your card info so you can one click auto add it in the card info area... can do this by adding any junk item and going through the check out then saving.

Then it’s the F5 finger workout waiting for them to make the boxes live...

Good luck!

And I believe they do it at 830am their time in Utah. Which is 10:30 am for me on the east coast.

Hard for any well thought RBA-in-one to be bad... but this one price wise, and design(looks) wise just doesn’t make sense.

It costs more than the Snail, looks worse than the Snail, and I don’t get the full port position... I mean I get wanting to be different, but that alone is weird.

I’m sure it vapes well... but I was sold on the snail and enjoy it fully

I don't have one,so can't speak from first hand experience,but a guy in one of the Billet groups i'm in on Fb has one,and said it vapes exactly the same as the Vapesnail,only difference is that it cost more haha.

Everything you said makes sense. Albert's out of the snail and mentioned that he liked the Alien. I watched the presentation video from EVL for the Alien and his explanation for where the fill port is makes sense in theory..... whether it works as intended is another question. Mr. Lee gave it to me for the price of the snail so I'll share my thoughts on it soon.

That’s the whole thing about the all in one boro RBAs, the constraint of size... the constraint of airflow possibilities are finite

Only differences one can simulate and I know none do this... simulate the air flow turbulence by changing the chamfers of the air flow inserts, the doming of the top cap etc...

Haku claimed they did turbulence modeling, but ask anyone who has owned one of their RDAs... they were whooshy and whistled no designer would be like... woot I modeled a whistle that looks like an RDA...BRILLIANT

I missed this earlier, awesome advice. Looks like the only thing available to add to the cart before hand is a boro maintenance kit...I'll add that and card info then anxiously wait. Thanks again!

Just put up a 2020 RPG in the hardware thread. Has all you need to vape out the box and a lot of extras. Even left the fused Clapton in the vapesnail.

I don't even know why I tried...

I like simple round coils in the Snail... but why the fuck did I wrap a SS316L one... tastes like kaka... my goodness

Everyone and their kin now want to get in on the Snail train... although I think this is for the DotAIO... since it has that front air intake

Yeah I've been seeing that in the Mission group. Looks good, but I'm really happy with the DotShell. That's looks like it's for all those loons trying to out aliens in it and shit. The DotAio only fires down to a 0.3 ?

They can be sometimes. Depends on the rba. I check it daily if I have the Boro in the mod. Give it a little wipe down. I think you can take a thin strip of paper towel and put it behind to suck up any juice or condensation. Which the plugs are great for that.

Mine wasn't a comment on the mod or if they leak or not. Just the wording making me laugh.

Sorry to offend the fans

You know what would be sort of cool.

If Atmizoo did DLC inners for the Snail in every color BBs comes in.

similar to how that one person Gold DLC his a few pages back...

EDIT: Guess one could get those parts DLC'd probably less than buying them direct... but still... think it would be rad... surprised they're not jumping on that bandwagon to sell misc parts on top of the full kits

Wife gets the same ones, but since she hasn’t been in direct patient care (will be again in a few weeks) they haven’t provided her with her daily masks.

Wife was planning to go to LA this weekend anyway...

@BobsHere , just thought you'd like to know. Mr Mop, he traveled the globe, got in with the wrong crowd and endured tragedies most of us dare not dream of. Even lost a kidney in Istanbul, but that's another story. In the end though, he stayed strong, learned to persevere, came to terms with whom he is as a man, and returned home o_O

He came to me homeless from BBV cause I didn't know how well I would like the abalone that came on that Bluebald. I liked the button kinda sorta but MOP looks much better. Really nice, looks like he might stick there. I'm sure he's much happier than down in the slums....

The Lion is trying to work his way outta the slums. He told Stafford look buddy, I've stuck with you all these years, I just can't do it anymore. I'll give ya one more chance, and then you are on your own. Lions gotta do what a lions gotta do after all.........
