Pod people scare me!
But, aren't you an Alien?
well yes, but what does that have to do with it?
What can flow from the minds of humans can be horrifying.
Most all aliens are not nearly as violent and such as humans and why humans will not be allowed out into the universe. the few violent species are confined to their planets to be violent to themselves if they so desire.
Agreed. But now I'm thinking of Cthulhu...goood kitty...
( my cat's original name from the Humane Society was Maleficent, well-deserved too )
But, aren't you an Alien?
Maybe pod people are mutant humans, or maybe aliens from somewhere different than Cromwell. Who can say?
Looks like Smok is making an Aegis type mod and a new TFV9 tank. The tank and coils look like a Big Baby and BB type but I don't know yet. If so, I have tons of those tanks already, but I'll get a blue one .
.
Does anyone have a good EVCigarettes discount code?
i saw a code, perhaps for them. didn't need it, so didn't pay attention. let me see if i can find it.
Thanks
No problem. Thanks for looking
i will keep a lookout. shit comes & goes over there.

I am shocked! Don't think I have EVER seen a discount code from them, in nine years of vaping.
Speaking of which, today makes it nine years. It's my Vapeaversary today! I just realized!

Happy Vaperversary!!!!!
That's awesome! Next year will be a decade!
Yay for me, I got the two blue Smok tanks I didn't have today. Now I'm just waiting on one more. Then I'll have all the (regular) blue ones they've made. That's not counting the little vape pen 22 or Nord type tanks. I have no interest in those low powered ones.

I love my Nord AIO 22. But the tank is attached to it. Maybe you can use it separately with the Nord Pen 22. I was looking for another Nord AIO 19 or 22, so if you ever have one to spare, please let me know!
I never got or used any of those smaller ones. Wet Vapes had one of those tanks for very cheap. I forgot what it was called. Vape Pen tank? They were two bucks though. They might have some left if you're interested.
The one I have is an AIO, prolly pre Nord pod. The tank isn’t usable alone, unfortunately. But it’s a nice little stealth vape, especially with the plus ohm Nord coils.
I’ll look at Wet Vapes anyways, since any gear on sale now is good, considering how much stuff isn’t in stock. Thanks, Frank.

Quoting my own post here.. I like those red colored Scar-18 (Aegis-a-like) mods. Sourcemore has those mods on preorder for only $32. I'm tempted.. I was right about the tanks. The TFV9 tanks are essentially Big Baby Beast tanks with a different top fill. It slides up like the Nepho, but then hinges open. They got some new nichrome mesh coils you can use in any of your tanks that use Baby Beast coils.Looks like Smok is making an Aegis type mod and a new TFV9 tank.

I used something like this for years-
I'd cut wick tails with em. I also used one of the points for thinning and tucking into wick holes. I don't remember where I got the ones I really liked. All that they say is Stainless on one side and Italy on the other. I've bought lots of scissors like them but they weren't the same. They finally started getting a little dull so I got some like this to cut with-
I still use my old ones for thinning and tucking. I've tried the curved tweezers a la Mike Vapes style, but don't like them much.
Have been using these Wescott 5 inch titanium scissors for over 4 years.
think I only paid around $6 for them though.

Liked the wescott titanium so well I bought another pair a month or so after buying the first pair. Not had to use them yet but they are well hidden from the wife

Just the other day my husband stumbled across some little cuticle scissors like the ones you posted up top. He gave them to me and I just set them on a table nearby. The other day when I was wicking two Meshlock RDAs, they came in handy with cutting the cotton. Not nearly as fiddly as the stupid folding scissors I normally use (the ones that came in my vape toolkit). I also used them to tuck the wicks in. After that, they went into the vape toolkit!
Normally I do use curved tweezers for tucking. Like them just fine, too.
The one thing I seem to have trouble finding is wire snips that will stay sharp on the very tip ends. I've been through two pairs now, and I don't even build that much! Don't cut heavy wire, either. Seems like the ones I'm using now came from KP, and I figured they'd last a while, but no, not really.
You have to get cutters designed for hard wire like piano or guitar strings. Most all are designed for copper cutting which is much softer than the wire we use for coils.
I just buy 6 packs cutters for around $2/pair from Ali express and toss em after a few months.
good cutters that will hold up will cost over $20.
Just looked I tend to use the Plato model 120 cutters.
Have got some red handled ones for $4 at HF that worked ok too.
Just looked a 10 pack of the plato cutters are $26 at amazon.

Stay away from the Plato cutters.
You can also go on Amazon and search "flush cutters". You can get a nice pair of Kleins for just under $10.

How are you getting the airflow lined up with the coils? I've been fiddling with it for a half hour and the only way I've found to do it is to loosen the positive pin, which I'm not willing to do. The airflow holes are not even close to pointing at the coils.
Then I find youtube videos of guys having to sand down the walls to get the airflow to point at the coils. Please tell me I'm missing something

I'm not getting the airflow lined up with anything. I put in coils and wicks, prime them, put the thing back together, and vape it. Don't know that I've ever even thought about lining things up like that in any rta.
Lol, it was frustrating me a bit too.
The first time I tried to set it up, one of the posts was blocking the airflow. I originally wanted to use the 4 hole method but whatever I do, two of the holes are blocked off by cotton or the posts. I'm thinking 4 holes might only be for a vertical coil set up?
@gsmit1 I ended up just turning the positive pin.. That way I could use the two hole method and have them both pointing directly at the coil. I might try vertical coils to see if I can use the 4 hole method.

Well it sounds like there's something I'm not getting, then. How do you know the airflow is blocked? When you draw on the RTA, does it have no air movement? Feels like tight MTL or something?
I'm using the 2-hole airflow, but I can change it to 4-hole and get considerably more air. I'm completely confused.
Ok, I think I see what you mean now, and I see why I wasn't seeing it before. I had airflow turned to about halfway open, so it was obstructing the view of the posts. On either 2-hole or 4-hole, the air to me works best when you adjust it to a half-position so that you can't see the posts. It feels to me like I get more air at half-open than I do at full-open.

I know you've been vaping a LOT longer than I have, but if I recall correctly you said you haven't been using rebuildables for most of that time?
I'm not trying to be a jackass or a know it all in any way. If you haven't found out yet, airflow positioning and coil placement make ALL the difference in how a rebuildable atomizer performs. I mean as in night and day, one thousand percent difference. The airflow directly hitting the coil/s is the key to flavor in practically every case.
Like @debinnv and I were talking about a couple weeks ago with the Themis RTA for instance. A small increase in leg length and change in coil placement is the difference between that atty being downright bad for flavor and it being downright awesome. No exaggeration.
With the RDTA V2 the airflow holes point more at the wicking and deck posts than at the coil itself. According to a five year old post on ECF a guy said he emailed Steamcrave asking about this and they told him it was by design.
It turns out there was an actual controversy surrounding this back then. (before my time)Some folks have come up with various ways to overcome this. Some more practical than others. The one that seems best and easiest is to put the deck in by itself with proper alignment and THEN screw down on the base. I plan to try that.

Or like @Just Frank and I were talking about the BB/BBB rba deck. Pulling the doils right down to the airflow provices a very noticable increase in flavor.
Or with the Vaperz Cloud X1 rda. It's a bit of a pain, but building it with the coils WAY out from posts over the airflow brings a tremendous increase in flavor over just having them sitting in the middle of the deck like I saw many people doing it. The airflow holes are under the coils.

Yes, that's true. I've been using rebuildables for maybe two years. But I do understand the bit about the airflow. I just hadn't realized the need to think about it with RTAs - but - this isn't an RTA, it's an RDTA, and I guess that makes a big difference.
So yes, you can orient the deck so that the 2-hole air blows right onto the coils. I think @Just Frank must be correct that the 4-hole is for vertical builds. Seems like that's the only thing that makes sense. The airflow is definitely a lot smoother with the deck oriented correctly. I don't notice a big difference in flavor, but like I said, I had the air tightened down some anyway.
If I had read the instructions I might have seen this to begin with. Dunno. But thanks for pointing it out and educating me.

pssssttttt or wait a few months ( wink wink ) Is someone having trouble with their V2? If so shoot me a pm if you need help with anythingI bought a gunmetal Aromamizer Lite from @VinnySem in the Hardware thread. I put a 0.74 ohm N80 fused Clapton in it, and am running it at 32 to 35 watts, depending on the juice in it at the time.
This thing is what got me started on Aromamizers. Including the Lite, I have 7 of them now. The Lite is exceptional for midrange, restricted-DL vaping, and has great flavor. Don't think anyone (that I've seen, anyway) produces better fit and finish than this.
You know, don't you, that VapeNW still has the V2 for $9.99? Looks like it's in stock in both black and stainless. It's dual coil, and you know I normally like single coil better, but with light-ish coils in the V2, it is a stunning vape. I've just got dual 26ga round SS coils in this one, 0.22 ohms for the pair, running at 47.5 watts on my Shogun mod, and it's just ridiculous how good it is.
Just my two cents, but I'd buy four of the V2s in the place of one Lite.
One other thing - there is a small difficulty with the Lite. It's impossible to cut the airflow off completely with the airflow ring. I find that I have some slight leaking if I don't cut the airflow off completely during filling, so when I fill it, I have to finagle it with my hands to try to cover the remaining open air vents with my fingers while I fill the tank, recap it, then turn it upside down and release the airflow. It can be awkward.
No such difficulty with the V2.
