If you don't have a hair drier, and if you're in the USA, Harbor Freight sells a heat gun for pretty cheap.
https://www.harborfreight.com/1500-Watt-Dual-Temperature-Heat-Gun-63104.html
Do a google search for harbor freight coupon and you'll get 20% off.
Also do a search for free harbor freight flashlight coupon and get a free flashlight while you're at it.
I'll suggest a thin glove if you have one handy, pun lol. The heat can be painful, with my daughters blow dryer anyways, others may differ

Freeman juice order came today. I have flavors Cococaine, Ruth's Loot, Imagine, Vice Cream, and Icebound. Don't know when I'll try them, soon, maybe.
Also got a nice present from my buddy @wildgypsy70 in the form of a one-shot of her new Holy Apple Cream Filled Donut and a full bottle of Purilum Country Apple! Thanks so much, my friend!
I'll be sure to mix up a bottle of the HACFD very soon!
Never have I gotten an order from FT in less than 3 weeks until today. Got to me in 10 days, so I have no idea why 2 other places are taking more than a month right now.... and counting. Frustrating.
So, no pic, I already put it all away. Got some drip tip adapters, a square-ish squonk bottle to try out, 2 squonk refill bottles and a replacement Pumper bottle, just in case, and because they're nearly impossible to find now.
The square squonk bottle seems like it'll fit the Ram that everyone got, though I got it hoping it might be ok in a Dot. Too small, but it would technically work.
@Jinx'd, @gsmit1 @The Cromwell @nadalama and anyone else that mentioned a silicone bottle for it.

Got some some awesome RDAs from @ChainVapeS today! Also an Asmodus Minikin 2 with Dawg RTA and a GeekVape Boost kit. I now have the whole Aegis line in my collection. Would loke to find another Aegis 100w 26650 mod though (mine is pretty banged up).

I'm contemplating on pulling the trigger with the KFL2019... not sure though, I've left the MTL scene in lieu of a more restrictive lung hit. But because I'm a fan of Kayfuns, I may consider it.

I got the Minikin 2 and Dawg from Asmodus during their BF sales. I have the Chrome Blue one. It’s really nice!

thats real nice, does that seem to be real wood ? how is the button ? feel like it would fire in a pocket ?
i have been having a real hanker'n to get a nord. but i currently have no need for it, and the internal battery thing.
but i do know i am going to break down one of these days.
a heat gun is hotter, so it shrinks the wrap super fast. so fingers don't get as much heat on them.
When I first started wrapping my batteries, I just used a lighter and it worked out fine, just got to make sure to keep it moving

That chrome Minikin is super spiffy!
A lighter is what my husband suggested, too, for heat-shrink wraps.
The fire button is clicky and has a nice tactical feel to it but it is protruding so it could fire in a pocket. I have carried mine in my pocket with no issues though.
I don't think it is real stabwood, if it is it's coated with polly or some kind of clear sealant. The finish is as smooth as glass and no imperfections in it like true stabwood has.

that is what i figured on both counts. i wish i could get some blank sticker like the wood they have.
The Reewape RBA will work in it. It's small and fiddly, but once you get the hang of it it works great.
thanx Bro. got it on the list. now, just wait for a sale.

The first deal on this page appears to still work. Only a couple of colors there, but see if you can live with one or the other...the white looks damn nice to me...but maybe you particularly wanted the stabwood?

i saw that, thanx
. i would love a red stab. sides, after adding shipping. they just came out, the price will drop.
So not only are you buying more shit than most vape shops have in inventory, it appears you're also buying teenagers too? I've got a couple of teen up for sale. They will wash dishes and mow the lawn with minor grumbling and eye rolling unless their headphones aren't working. Then it appears that they can do nothing. Oh they also wash their own clothes but they won't put them in the dryer.Got some some awesome RDAs from @ChainVapeS today! Also an Asmodus Minikin 2 with Dawg RTA and a GeekVape Boost kit.

Getting mine to do the dishes is like pulling teeth, and when they do them half of them need re-washed...lol And mowing the grass, my 10 year old son is too space headed to operate a mower. My youngest, Aunica, is I my 9, and my two oldest are teenager 14 and 16 who both are scared of the mower and won't use it.
So I'm in the market for a teenager who will mow grass...will trade for mod of your choice...lol

Have an 18 year old son and 14 year old daughter. The son tried ever excuse in the book not to mow. "It was too hard to pull start the mower". I bought a batter powered mower a few years ago and his excuses went out of the window.
It takes regular Nord coils but there is an RBA for it. I have the RBA, it is MTL.
It comes with 2 coils, a 0.6 mesh for a slightly restricted DL draw and a 1.4 for MTL.

I changed the password on the Wi-Fi th take away the internet as punishment for not cleaning the downstairs. An hour later ALL their devices were logged back on to the Wi-Fi... When I asked my youngest (she's the easiest to get the honest answer from) she simply said, "the WPS button dad" like ishould ha already known...lol So much for parental control...

And of course my Bonza 1.5 25mm Cap came in as well - so, my final thoughts?
Although both mods perform exceptionally well, and they now come apart (entirely), I cannot justify the price tag on them. Upon dismantling them both COMPLETELY, for what they are, for how much they're asking for them, I can say without a doubt, they just aren't worth it. IMHO, any other 21700 mech would probably fare better in most instances.
They're both pure copper, they both hold 21700 batteries, and they both hit like freight trains. My biggest complaint has got to be the machining. On the Copper tube, the top cap was tightened beyond removal, and on the MO version, the button couldn't be dismantled. So they both went back to the manufacturer to be repaired / replaced. Both mods were able to be repaired and of course, returned. But why send a product out before ensuring their user serviceability? Not sure...
As much as I love RIG Mods, I can honestly say, I'm disheartened at this oversight and cannot recommend the Legacy Mod.
As for the Bonza topcap? I love it! granted it looks kind of wonky on top of a perfectly pitch black mech, the copper / black wrinkle just stands out now. And the topcap is a lot thicker than the base top cap that came with it. Meaning it adds a barrier of hit dissipation and resistance. Again, I love it. It's different for sure, as for the copper itself, I haven't tasted anything off about it, but as we all know (or should know by now) it needs maintenance. If taking your top cap off occasionally and wiping it down is too much, then don't use a copper top cap! As for me, I'm a maintenance junky so taking my RDA apart and washing it down is a common occurrence.

yeah I definitely feel that I've had some issues like that before where I've had to go and sign for a package even though they had all the information on me that they needed to just take it to my damn mailbox and drop it off Don't make me go to the post office to sign for a f****** package.

I just ordered these same two tanks from Vape NW except I ordered the VV Revolver in Rainbow- lol
Plus I ordered the Screen Mesh coils from ejuice steals-
I should be set for a while- I hope!
The black looks good. I haven't put the solid piece on there yet. I was wondering what it looked like.Since these have been out for a while now and it seems everyone that has one likes it, I grabbed me a Topside lite.

I think many of us will be set on Sense Screen coils for a while. I think I ordered around 60 packs in total lol. Hopefully I can enjoy them. If they're not my style, I'm sure someone else can enjoy them.I just ordered these same two tanks from Vape NW except I ordered the VV Revolver in Rainbow- lol

Dovpo Topside Dual came in today from Vapor DNA. The Ijoy PS21700 with the Captain Elite RTA I bought from The Vape Trader. I'm not really one for smaller tanks, but this Captain Elite is very impressive with how it performs!

@Just Frank and I bought some of those Captain Elite RTAs a while back. I'm vaping one of mine now. It's one of my favorites. Almost impossible to find them for a good price now.
I love them. I usually have 2 setup all the time.
Ones got Peanut Butter Cookie and the other one has Fruity World (Recipe created by our very own @Howard Hughes).
Another unicorn tube.. got this in a trade for an rda
