I like the polished look. Matches the Profile nicely.
that is what I wish my para was, like the face plate. the black chrome is distracting.
this is buffed and no poly. I messed it up. my mill bit came loose, because some knucklehead that knows better didn't check it.
and took that chunk out. but that's actually good, as I have a better looking piece that I will glue on.
it is still to thick, the falling mill bit bummed me out, so I stopped.
this stuff is tricky to work with, if you don't know what your doing. it's brittle.
and I am not exactly thrilled with this block.
1. when poly'd, it gets very dark. I wanted and expected dark blue. it gets very dark blue, blackish.
2. when I cut into it, there is very little patterns on the inside.

Yeah, there would be more contrast with the black part if it was a brighter blue, but it still looks pretty nice! You did a decent job on it, I had no idea it was possible to do anything like that with a mod.
decent, yep. but I want great !
you should google custom mods. some crazy stuff there. also look in pinterest.
Last week I found out about a sale at StrikesUSA from @nadalama. I saw they had both Captain RTAs versions. I've been wanting to try them for a while. I ordered 2 of the single coil versions and 1 of the dual coil versions. When they showed up, they were all the same. I was supposed to get the dual version in SS but got the the Elite (single coil), so three of the same tank. Good news is, I really like em.

I've been using the black one on my beat up Pico.

I tried to get a hold of Strikes to let them know about the mistake. I really wanted that dual coil version. I e-mailed them about 5 times. I tried to call them directly. I tried to use their chat feature.. I left a 1 star product review out of frustration. I noticed it was still on sale so I ordered it again. The same day I ordered it (five days later), I get an email from them. They said sorry for the mistake, keep the other one as a free gift. So good on them but wish I would've known. Two regular Ijoy Captains came today.

They're supposed to have Ultem drip tips. I'm not sure because I've never had real Ultem before.

RTA much?
View attachment 143518
The Elite's were $11.50, and the regular Captains were $13.50 (I think). I'll probably only use one of each and put the other ones away.
The Elite I've been using is a nice little flavor tank. My only complaint is the liquid capacity. I've been using the heck out of it. Nice draw, great flavor, and stupid easy to set up. I've had zero leaking at all with it. I'd reccomend it to anyone looking for a smaller tank.
Thank you so much for bringing that sale to my attention. I've been using the airflow 2/3 open at 48W. I just tried it your way and that's very enjoyable too. I got some Country Clouds CBP to try out. I'm using it in my Cap. Elite and it tastes sooo good. I'll be using this all the time, great tank.Sorry you had a problem with your order. Not good that they were so unresponsive when you contacted them. A freebie was the least they could do after all that. However...
I totally agree with you about the Captain Elite tank. I put mine (rainbow) on a rainbow iJoy Capo 100 (not a squonker) that I bought here in the Hardware thread. I'm just using the coil that came with it, which appears to be a 0.24 ohm stainless fused (flat?) Clapton. Running it at 32.5W with airflow about 1/3 open. Not one speck of leaking, and flavor for days. Maybe the best flavor RTA I have, even better than the Zeus RTAs that I love to pieces.
I put the bubble glass on mine and it holds enough to last me during my drive to and from work, so I've made it my traveling rig!
I didn’t mean like decent as not so good, I meant it looks good. I thought you were still working on it, though.

I've been using one of these for a few weeks and love the way these perform. Still only on my first coil but it works awesome at 38W. Really good flavor..
Boring but noticed Strikes had bubble glasses for the Wismec Gnome King. So I got one for the hell of it.

It alllmost fits the Captain RTA but just a bit too wide.
I didn't want to order just a RTA and glass and noticed they had Vaporesso Drizzel for around 11 bucks. So I got one to try out.

It's a little salt nic rig. Not sure if they're good or not.
It's pretty small. Size comp vs Uwell Caliburn vs Smok V9 Max just for scale.

I have this thing for RBAs. I like to collect them when they're available. I don't even use my X-Baby. But I had to have a RBA for it .

Also got coils for my V9 Max. Not sure if they're the same ones I'm using now. They look a lil different. I've never tried Native Wicks cotton. More coils for Geekvape Alpha tanks. Not sure which are my favorite so I got both again.
I've been wanting to try the new TFV12 CBK Mesh coils. I read that they're pretty awesome but never wanted to pay 10-12 bucks for 3 of them. Volcano had a TFV12 coil blowout going on. I noticed they had the Mesh coils for $2.99. Heck yeah, I'm all about that. Got 7 packs for $21.

No idea, 1st time getting it, and I probably won't care for it, I'm not info fruit flavors, but it's for me to try and mix a fruity menthol for my her.
Nice haul from the vape mail gods today!

That’s so cool. When I have some extra money for vape gear, I’ll look around. My most exciting thing coming this week is some coils, juice, and a mug from a juice company that I love. Oh, and 18650’s, how can I forget? I’m hoping the Hohm Stretch ones I got are good, never tried them. :clink:
One of the first contests I won was for a Wismec Gen3 Dual kit. It came with a Gnome King tank. I got the RBA from China a while after that. I'm not a fan of the deck but it works pretty good. Its a tight fit getting everything in the RBA. But I got a lot of flavor out of that little chamber. I haven't used it in a while but just got a bubble glass for it a few days ago. I've always wanted an original Gnome. I thi k it looks a bit weird and want to play around with it .Hey, have you tried with Wismec Gnome with its RBA? I've looked at it a bunch of times, but always hesitated just enough to allow myself time to move on to something else.
Just beautiful. Lovely red!Nice haul from the vape mail gods today!

I bought one Hohm Stretch when they first came out, I like it.
My favorite battery for regulated mods (single or dual) has been the Hohm Life for quite some time now so I'm sure i will be happy with the Hohm Stretch.

And yes it is, i like it.
The build deck reminds me of the Goon but the juice well is not as deep.
Sent from a Galaxy far far away!
When you put the top cap on the air flow holes are higher than the edges of the juice well. But when you fill it that full you do need to be a little careful for the first little bit.How does the juice not fall out of the tank, or whatever it’s called? It looks sorta precarious like that!
They have great juice. The Doughboy was my favorite. It is sweet thoughNever tried juice from this company, had a BOGO sale, so thought might as well give them a try

I'm jealous, lots of cool vapemail. I feel like there's a thread missing, one for those of us in limbo. There's the vapemail thread, hey check what showed up. There's the 'what did you do today that's vape related' thread. Then there's the rest of us like me, who ordered shit but still hasn't shown up. Go to the site (vaporl) and it says package shipped but no info, no tracking number. So sometime between now and christmas I might get to post here, something besides an empty hand check. lmao. And to top it off, it's coming fedex, oh joy. The company who single handedly fucks up literally every single delivery.
Liked the post, but not really you know. Sucks losing shit........sorryI lost a cube mod at work a couple weeks ago. That Swag seems to fit the bill. I like the orange, maybe it will help me not lose it...
A good excuse to buy more....Liked the post, but not really you know. Sucks losing shit........sorry
The struggle is real. USPS is great and the regular mail lady is nice. She's a vaper as well. UPS has no issue finding my place. Fedex, every damn time. Gave them directions, left my phone number in case they got lost. The 4 closest neighbors have all gotten one of my packages at least once.Man, I hate Fedex! They won’t just leave something for you, it seems. The postal service does a good job pretty much, even when I’m not hitting up my mail guy. Yep, I bribe him. Lol
