Got these 20700's to try out from @jgarrison34. They are working out nice and making me think that I need a couple more 20700 mods. Even my mtl setup on the Hugo BF seems to hit smoother. Good guy and a pleasure to deal with.

No none at all
That makes me wonder if pretty much all mech mods are arcing like that inside and on this one it's in a place where we can see it. If it did have arc marks that would indicate a definitely excessive degree of arcing. What if other ones are doing that and nobody knows because they have no (or little) marks either, and the ones with marks and pits are particularly bad for arcing? Just wondering.

It's an interesting thought, makes me want to fire a tube in the dark tonight and watch the vent holes.

I don't think I have one where you could see it. That's part of my point. I get very faint arc marks here and there when I clean mine, but they come off easily. Here's not getting ANY and look at that arcing. Makes me wonder what's actually going inside of most people's mechs. Obviously even if there is more serious arcing than folks know about, it's not dangerous or they'd be blowing up left and right.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
I picked this up in trade.
I didn't care for it but I could see the potential.

This is awesome, the smallest 18650 Squonk I've ever seen.

When I got it

You might really be over doing it there man. Just rub it back and forth on the cement and call it a day.

This may be a dumb question, but are you sure it's still on there? Is it possible it's been removed?
I was kinda thinking the same thing actually. I've taken I don't know how many factory screen protectors off of various stuff over the years and I've never seen one that won't start with a fingernail.

I've seen em all. Which one are you referring to specifically?
All of them of course, because testing for arcing marks also is an integral part of his test procedures. Only problem, IMO ppl refuse to send him a real expensive tube for testing because with his clumsiness level he might drop it on the floor. :rolleyes:

Look at all this stuff I got from Travis over at Inkedatty. I was looking for a bubble glass for the old Sense Heracles RTA mini. A perfectly fabulous rta. I sent him the tank for fitting and he sends it back with an adv kit already installed, 3 more different colored adv kits, 7 bubble glass pieces of a few different colors, like 30 or 40 L profile o-rings, some for the kits and some for the glass, which L profile o-rings also fit the Lotus, a coil trimming tool, an extra T tool AND the gold atty stand you see my tank sitting on there.

FOR FREE!!

Or just about. I sent him a few bucks for shipping having no idea all this stuff was in there. The quality of the pieces seems excellent. I'll update that soon. Wow! How cool is that?

I am 99.9% sure there isn't one. I used some very strong tape, nothing. but the screen is a matte finish. the YT vids show it shiny.
so idk wtf. maybe a production error ?

I really like mine except for the inexplicably staggered in the wrong direction posts :D

Love the airflow design, nice size well and even the idea of having both coils in the same post is fine. I just don't get why they are staggered in the opposite direction that most coils are wound.

So far... so good. Had a set of staggs but legs were a bit short..saw a vid that recommended using the leg tool.. much better now with the fused clap/parrelel

Yeah they need to be what looks a bit long initially so they can be bent out over the airflow ports. Smooth airflow and a good vape on my DS.

Cool, it's here! (there)

AND you got the removable panels you wanted too :D


yeah. I guess USPS can surprise ya sometimes. 4 days from Hawaii. not bad me thinks.

I am looking at stabwood blocks, to make some panels for it. and I am going to look and see what wood I already have just to play around with.

idk just how I feel about the black chrome. I mean, its nice and all. but perhaps a little to shinny. hoping it will grow on me.

Yeah, what some companies call "gun metal" is the shiny black like this and other companies "gun metal" is kinda grey. And various other shades in between too.

Hello VU peeps. It’s been a while. My first vape mail that isn’t just supplies. I’ve been very content with my billets and my dvarws so nothing has really pushed my shiny buttons.

The vandy vape simple ex. I wanted to get one when they first came out but I’m a cheapskate so...... I saw this on sale during Memorial Day. Twenty bucks.

It’s very small and very light. A couple of pics next to my luxotic and my billet.

Right off the bat it squonks and vapes well. The draw adjusts nicely between a respectable mtl and a nice restricted dl for me. I’ll find out what kind of battery life it has this weekend but it is definitely a very pocket friendly sqounk.
