I need a judgement call from our homemakers. The contractors following behind us failed to do their job, and now we have to come back in a few months and do our part all over again T&M.

The customer claims that rythmically pushing it forward and pulling it back does not actually constitute "cleaning" . What sayeth you?

Unless you are desperate to upgrade right this second, you might want to hold out and see what the Merlin is going to offer for MTL.

Roxy's design on the Boreas is so easy even I managed to pull it off. If the Merlin can offer that excellent tight draw with an easy to access deck the Alleria could be a waste of money.

Don't take this drunkards word for it :p Watch a review or read through http://vapingunderground.com/threads/alleria-rta-v2-by-augvape.204740/ It does have a few downsides to it. 3.5ml juice capacity - I fill this thing once an hour because it crushes some juice. Also the proprietary drip tip for adjusting the JFC, you can use whatever drip tip you want once it's adjusted but it is necessary for changing it. Other downside, it's so flavorful I can't handle it sometimes :D

It is intense - I thought too intense. Then I hit the Boreas and it was too intense too. I think its because I got into my butterscotch juice a few days before it was done steeping and I think it just came into its being :)

Ok, I'm looking at it, on the 3Fvape site, which has the best price -- anyone have any info about 3Fvape in terms of, do they take half of forever to get shit to you, or are shipping times reasonable?

Also, both of yas -- can you post a pic of it with a single coil? Because the pic I'm looking at is showing 4 holes which indicates it wants duals, and I just can't picture how this thing would be built with a single coil.

I'm not terribly worried about wicking; I've been using 3/32 drillbits to wrap coils on for over a year, and have gotten very good at perfect wicking for that size ID (hint: with shiseido pads, cut a 1/4"-wide strip and pull it perfectly in half, and it's perfect for 3/32). And the more saturated, the better -- I'm used to the Achilles, which is so saturated that when I first started using it, I'd wipe my lips to see if I was actually getting juice in my mouth -- I wasn't, but the taste was that intense -- THAT is what I'm looking for.

Also I'm a bit concerned about the comments about that awful fat driptip -- I actually have to keep that, just to adjust something? Really not interested in huffing, just vaping!

thx!!!

Nah... currently vaping a store-bought Blueberry Muffin (sweet-vapes) that's been goosed up with more sweetener and a little TFA banana nut bread -- had the strawberry & cream (30% flavoring) on a rest while I had that cold, and currently *trying* to vape it in a kayfun, but the flavor is so weak compared to an Achilles, I'm not hitting it much -- mostly the goosed-up blueberry muffin.

I'm not sure that it would be a waste -- I don't want a large capacity tank for the strawberry, because of the gunking -- 3ml suits me fine; the Achilles is 2.5 and it's been just fine -- I only vape about 5ml daily.

I've honestly never put a single coil build in mine. The velocity deck definitely is geared for dual coils with one directly above each air flow hole. That's how I've used mine since I got it. I run dual coils, rarely below 50W, you are probably going to need @JuicyLucy input more for the single coil. As for the drip tip, yeah you're gonna need it. You could probably jam a flathead screwdriver down in there to adjust it, but the drip tip is specifically designed to twist the chimney to spin it up or down.

Yeah, if you are used to an RDA a kayfun would taste very weak. Roxy is having to be more circumspect on the Merlin, but if it has a removable deck like the Boreas and a flavorful tight draw, it would be perfect for your all your vaping needs.

I'm thinking about trying to design some kind of bling the hang the stock drip tip on to be able to use as needed.

The drip tip vapes okay, but I hate those short, fat drip tips - it does not feel natural to me at all.

Well hopefully the cajun bacon will make up for some of the hardships.

GFY and sleep tight

I've never ordered from 3Fvape.

I'm too ashamed of my build to post a photo of my build with all the coil pornographers hanging around this joint, but I just built the coil and ran it down the center of the two posts and stick the ends on through the opposing sides of the two posts.

On the one, I went a little thick on the wicking to cover the juice channels and once I dialed it in it's been wicking like a champ.

These are my two currents, the blueberry and the strawberry -- with my favorite driptips, really the only kind I like; those small Mings are PERFECT.

I use the angled adapter on the Achilles because RDAs always spit at me; I don't have that problem with the Kayfun.

It was bath time anyways and those coils were too filthy for the internet to see :oops: What ohms do you normally run? With some 30 gauge you could probably get 1.5-1.8Ω on dual coils.
Click to expand...

Between 1 and 1.5. I'm running duals on my Boreas at 1.1 ohms and really like it.

I probably would have gone straight to duals on the Alleria but I was hoping to be able to get a little more battery life out of setup for the day. We'll see if that works. It tastes so good with the one, I'm not in any rush to rebuild it anytime soon.

Filthy? Try this -- it's actually only about half as dirty as it'll get before I dryburn it. :D

ETA: that's a 2.1Ω coil. :D

If you posted photos I can't see `em :(

I used to love those Mings too - but since my tastebuds have come back I taste the acrylic and have had to discontinue using them. It is a real boner because not only do I love the draw on the Mings, they are inexpensive and better to use while driving around here.

I live on a dirt road and the highway is full of pot holes after a rough winter. I'm afraid I'm gonna bust my teeth out using the stainless or cut my face with glass going over some of these rough roads. Plus they don't draw as well.
