I've pretty much kept all of my vaping gear too. I've donated some of it a few times but never got into selling anything. Even stuff I don't care for just gets put away. I haven't used the trading post here much but just bought a RTA on there.

I even saved all the boxes the stuff comes in. I don't know why but I still have bins of empty hardware boxes down in my basement.
I've given some stuff away and made a few trades here and there when I had at least 2 of something, but I have 98% of all the stuff I've bought as well.

I also have all my boxes and packaging. :D It shouldn't be surprising that people who keep their stuff also keep the packages. What I don't have is room for all this crap LOL!

The Vaping Insider is on Drugs. Here's a photo of the BB and Wake coils. This is why i don't listen to 90% of vape reviewers.View attachment 157123 I assume you mean Baby Beast coils.
Yes baby beast. If not, there are several on drugs. Also why I said "looks like" and stated who said it. I wouldn't interpret that terminology as set in stone facts and it would be up to those interested to do their own research.

Same here, except haven't really traded anything. Have given quite a bit of stuff away, the majority of it to family members, but a few things to other members here. The boxes for all this stuff are out of control.

I have a tote of empty mod boxes, a tote of boxes with mods in them, and a tote of boxes with atomizers in them plus a separate box inside that tote for empty atomizer boxes. A lot of my atomizers came in those small two-piece plastic slide boxes, so they don't take up that much room. Also have a cardboard box with miscellaneous stuff (coils, tools, lanyards, RBAs and empty RBA boxes, extra building materials, etc.).

Pair all that stuff with the mixing supplies I have and it becomes too much clutter. Guess I'll be at home for a while now, though, so no excuse for not getting some of that stuff better organized.

Yes, that is clearly an error. Like you say though, there are at least a dozen different coils that are interchangeable with BB/BBB coils.

@Pastorfuzz Try THIS .

I agree but, a reviewer should know that these coils don't look alike.
Agree with you 100% that you need to do research, but a lot of folks wont and buy this thinking the coils will work by what is said.
Have a good night!

I agree with you that reviewers should only speak of their known facts and not base any statement on what they think or hear from someone else.
Just now, here's my top google hit and gave it a quick look. Smok coil will fit, but it's the Baby coil.
Vid @ 2:30 https://www.elementvape.com/wake-mod-co-bigfoot-200w-tc-starter-kit

Anyways, like you, I like the mod even at 31 shipped and I ordered one. So thanks for your post/pics.

I looked again yesterday and had seen other sites (besides VI stating those smok coils work), and today, here's the top google hit and gave it a quick look. Smok coil will fit, but it's the Baby coil.

I have a few of those coils from long ago. Looks like with that short chimney it could be really good at sub ohm flavor.
My next thought is a smok rba head?? Wouldn't that be something ! :)

This is not mail, but I just tried to buy something from Direct Vapor and they told me they couldn’t ship to my state!!

I did get a Cube mod in Elf resin from Element, which matches the blue Fire Luke Mesh tank I bought a while back.

I’ll post pics next week or whenever. My gear is boring. I use the same mods and tanks day in day out.

i don't have the most spacious or commodious of living quarters so space is limited to begin with. I can do better than the colossal chaos I have going now though. I do keep all the parts in the boxes those parts are for, so that does help.

I feel you, since then you end up with boxes for the boxes, which then go into other boxes.

Me too. I save every box with it's accessories in my box of boxes. :cool:

I went through my box of boxes. I was wondering why it was so heavy when I don't have much on my shelf. I counted 13 Baby/Prince boxes. :oops: I keep back-ups of hardware as you all do. But this is insane. I did find a few pleasant surprises though.

It's a SMOK TFV12 Prince, Cobra Edition. Freakin' huge coils.

I'm still on the hunt for a black and a gold Kylin Mini.

Oh. I just got what you were asking me. It's a cobra insert for the tank. That tank came with it but I have a spare rainbow one, too. Don't know where I bought it. Want it? I doubt I'll use it.

Do you put it over the coil? I only used one Smok tank a long time ago, so I don’t really know anything about them.

Do you build your own coils, Trixy?

I think a taller glass section is needed for the RBA.
I have a lot of glass so i'll try some different combinations and will let you know if i can get it to work

Got a beautiful gunmetal Aromamizer Lite yesterday from @VinnySem , thanks Vinny! Looks absolutely beaut on my gunmetal Detonator, was so super easy to build and wick, vapes great and hasn't leaked, I am so pleased with it!

No pics. Not happening today. Y'all know what those tanks look like, although you don't know the AHD drip tip I put on it. Maybe one day, if there's ever light in the house at the same time that my phone is charged. :confused: I can't seem to make those two things happen at the same time.

Nice little shipment from 2Fdeal today. Gotta love clones, the Purge Carnage clone is a really good quality! Trying to decide what to build on the Ring Lord, it looks interesting with the 360° airflow.

First, I'm stoked! Knowing the BB coils work with the Wake tank just had me put 3 kits in my cart; Purple, Gang Black and Red. I can't make up my mind. I'm going to get 2 boxes of Wake coils so I can use the gold cage for show (yes, I know after adding darker juice I won't be able to tell anyway).

$10 - TFV8 Baby Beast RBA Kit. Comes with Clapton coils installed. Daniel did a review of the RBA here at 16:47. In 2016 he was a chatty rookie.
1 x Smok TFV8 Baby Beast RBA head - also fits Big Baby Beast Tank - 16mm, 0.30Ω
1 x Taller Pyrex Glass Tube for the BABY BEAST tank (BBB requires a different glass here. )
1 x Space O-Ring
1 x Allen Key Tool
4 x Replacement Screws
Disregard any other RBA's for SMOK referencing just V8-RBA. They're gargantuan. I have 2 BB RDAs below, a V8-RBA and V8 RBA-16.
I'll need to find out which tank they're for. Looking at the RBA it looks like it may fit the Prince but that tank is a TFV12.
And, Wake makes a beautiful RTA. Wake Tank and RTA - What Dotmod should be. Whoa.

Wow. Nice haul, @EdwinBetz

If you find out which tank it's for please send me pm. I've had one in my box for over 6 months now and still don't know which v8 tank it goes to.

Things I think I've figured out lately:

Coils and RBAs that fit the Baby Beast and the Big Baby Beast are all called V8 Baby xxx.

Coils and RBAs that fit the X-Baby Beast (or Baby Beast Brother) are called V8 X-Baby xxx.

Coils and RBAs that fit the Prince and the Resa Prince are all called V12 Prince xxx.

Have been confused about their line of tanks and coils for years, but I think these three statements are true. Which means, then, that somewhere there's a tank that is just a TFV8 (not a baby or an x-baby), and that tank is what uses the V8 RBA =or= V8 tanks that are not named "Baby" something use the V8 RBA.

I found one place that lists the TFV8 RBA and the TFV8 RBA-16 as fitting the TFV8 Cloud Beast. Similarly, the TFV12 RBA and TFV12-RBA-T (triple coil) are for the Cloud Beast King.

I have no idea if other "Prince" tanks use the same series of Prince coils (like the Cobra edition, for example). @Just Frank probably knows.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, anybody who knows better. This is so damn confusing.

The first TFV8 was the Cloud Beast. They over did it with the TFV12s lord knows. The Baby Prince is a TFV12 and is just a newer version of the Baby Beast.

When dealing with Smok tanks I suggest ignoring the TFV-whatever. Most of them have names other than the number. The first ones that got a number claim it. When talking about TFV8s people used to think Cloud Beasts, or TFV12s =Cloud Beast Kings.. Every V8 tank after had names like Baby or X-Baby. V12s are Prince, Baby Prince, ect.. I don't know if that helps.

All the Prince tanks can use Prince coils except the Baby Prince which uses the smaller (Baby Beast styled) ones.

Ok well now that THAT is clear as mud...

Vape mail today was, coincidentally, 3 more V12 Prince RBAs, yep you heard it right, and an Advken Manta Resin RTA (blue). @DrVapenstein has been mentioning the Manta as having flavor close to the M25 Fatality, so I figured I'd try one.

Put a pair of 24 ga N80 round five- or six-wrap 3mm coils in it, 0.30 ohms for the pair, and it's really quite nice now that the coil and cotton are breaking in good. Hasn't leaked a smidge. Put it on my Minikin Reborn running at 42W. Very nice. Flavor still isn't on par with the Juggerknot, though. That thing is an absolute flavor monster, and that is no exaggeration.

I could probably bump the watts on the Manta some, but eh, don't really want to. I'm in conservation mode whenever I can be.

I do not think that the coils being swappable necessarily means that the RBA will work. Chances are, if the Smok RBA comes with a different glass to be used with the RBA, then the glass and/or chimney on the gt-type tank won't work with the Smok RBA. Sometimes you can find people's individual solutions on Reddit or ECF, or just with a Google search.

I completely forgot about the Cloud King. I just tried them in my Cobra Edition and they are too large. It must be the Cloud King.
