What rebuildable tanks do you have? I got sent a Rafale X RDA instead of the sub ohm tank. :sigh: Now I have to get the regular Rafale.

I have a bunch and I can't list them because I haven't used them in a long time. My first was a Freakshow I bought used because I had one on the way that I won. I am not into dripping but do have an RDTA tank I might build some coils for because it is a dripper but has a tank. I forget the name and will have to pull them out of the Vape Cabinet~!

I think I dethroned my kayfun today.

Last night, the wife fell asleep on the couch while we were watching TV so I went upstairs and raided my stash box for something to fiddle with this morning knowing it was going to be too cool outside for me to piddle in the barn comfortably.

I picked a couple of 22mm atties (serpent mini and moonshot) that needed cleaning up, broke them down and put them in a bowl of soapy water for the night.

This morning, I fixed a cup of coffee and went upstairs to play around and decided to build the OG serpent mini. I wound up still having to scrub it real well because it had a 3ish year old build and juice in it that just caked everything up but I'm sure glad I did it. A quick 3mm clapton and a fresh wick and it's been singing along all morning. I honestly forgot how good the flavor is on it and it took my pocket setup to another level. It's so dang small on the vaporesso swag that I'd picked up on ECR that it's perfect for a pocket hitter for work and being out in general.

My only issue is it's vaping so well that I haven't put it down and can burn through 2ml of juice in 15-20 minutes while watching podcasts. That, and obviously it was just flat nasty after sitting so long. Well, I thought I had it perfectly clean and in brand new condition until I filled it up and later noticed there's still a bit of junk floating in the juice. Damn it. haha

Working on the DL Lemon Tart. I am pretty damn close! Exciting! Just tweaking percentages and playing with lemons.

And the usual..... charging batteries, washing out a few bottles, rewicking for testing, etc.....

Trying to resist the urge to buy flavors. Lol! I can’t afford them anymore. Just gotta use what I have.....which is more than a lot.

After searching for a regulated squonk mod and getting recommendations from some very kind folks here, I decided to place an order. Ordered a couple of batteries for it as well. That's it mod wise, I'm done, I'm finished, and I'm dead serious...quit laughing...I mean it this time. With all the crazy bullshit going on, I'm not going to be spending anymore money on vape stuff except for some bulk vg and pg so I can start mixing. With that being said, I sure hope the mod ships.

So what'd ya get?

And yeah, I worry about shipments, too. Not just vape stuff, but anything I've ordered lately. But, if it helps, I ordered from China very recently, and it's in the states.

Received a Vaporesso Luxe kit from @Alatide today, very nice, many thanks! Put a Resa Prince with RBA on it, with Strawberry Cream, and I've been happily vaping it all evening.

Also received three Galatek RDAs from VaporRange. Built the rainbow one with the included coils and the thing reads 0.09 ohms! Yikes! I didn't even think to check it before I put cotton in, of course. It would be this particular time I'd forget. But anyway, it's in a regulated mod with a fairly decent 21700 (iJoy) battery in it, wattage at about 42, so it's vaping good, not too hot, good flavor, and not over-stressing my battery. Calculator tells me it's drawing about 2.2V, so I'm leaving it, until such time that it bothers me enough to redo the coils.

2.2v?

Why would it matter on a regulated the voltage its pulling... at 42w you're using 15.44a

42w/3.2v Cutoff = 13.125a

13.125/Mod efficiency(Guessing it at 85% = 15.44a when the battery is calling for the most amperage (Near depleted)

If the battery is better than the 15.44a then you're good.

Assuming single battery mod

Yeah I think I said something like that in 2015... and 2016... by 2017 I stopped saying such totally imbecilic things. :teehee: I've bought.. let me see... 5 mods in the last month. Also a half liter of nicotine, 120ml TWELVE OUNCES! of flavors, and a pkg of coils for the spawn. One of those mods was for him. :D Oh, and a custom driptip, and 3 mod wraps. Currently considering some more of the custom driptips, they're just so damn PURTY!

I mixed some Kings Custard and Black Honey Tobacco with some Dark Fire, which I really like. Adds some dryness. Nice.

Plus, I charged batteries and mods.

Nothing special but I really needed to mix. Store juice was starting to get on my nerves!

I just got a Luxe from @Alatide. It’s a beautiful mod, bigger than I expected. The rainbow one I got is pretty. Enjoy yours!

Just ordered a blue nunchaku kit from wetvapes, was only $34 shipped, so couldn't say no, even though I already have 2, and both have problems, black one has a frosted screen, guess juice got into it and the silver doesn't charge via usb anymore, but I love the look of them and form factor, so 3rd time lucky to no problems with the new one.

Is that the Nunchaku 2 or the OG one? I’ve got two of the original ones and I like them. They definitely look cool. I’ve got SS and green. They’re good kits and the tanks are nice, too. Good luck!

It is the original one, was excited about the new one when announced, but it is to wide for my liking, so will stick to the original :)

I don't use the tanks that come with them, as I am a MTL vapor, but have a good collection of them lol

They're the best mid range tanks out there IMO. Forget mid range, they're my favorite (flavor) tank out of every subohm tank I own. The .2 mesh coils take them to another level. Those coils make them just outstanding performers (@50W). The wire coils are good as well but they taper off much quicker than the mesh ones.

I love those tanks, too. I’ve been running them at @35W so maybe I should bump it up. But I use mostly single battery mods, so I’m always trying to be cheap with the power.

Nope, since when I’m trying not to shop, I avoid the Hand Check and Vape Mail threads. Makes it easier not to spend!

Mixed up another 60ml of juice.
Seems this social distancing, aka staying home, has led to increased juice consumption.
Also threw a new build in the unicorn.
Parallel claptons. 26g wrapped in 36g all Ni80. They started life as coilology juggernauts. I stripped the ribbon wire wrap off. They work better this way.

Yeah, yeah, I know!!! I'm not the only one to have said this before but this time is different. I got a bike run coming up next month if it's not cancelled. Will be gone for a week and I'm focusing on putting my FU funds towards that. Over this past year, I've amassed plenty of mods and extra tanks to carry me for quite some time. I only wanted a squonk to try out the Wasp Nano @SnapDragon NY sent me. So in reality, it's all Snap's fault helping me to spend my dough...:giggle:

Wasn't sure where to post this.

Is there a thread about which, if any, vape suppliers have shut down or have restrictions? If not, can we get one and have it stickied somewhere?

I was thinking about element vape, river supply and bull city flavors.

No thread here like that, that I know of. And the 3 vendors you mention are still shipping as far as I know. Just got an element order last week

If they followed their states guidelines for essential and non essential, I can say for a fact any California vape supplier is shut down.

This includes River Supply... I think Element Vape is here in CA... one of the big 3 battery vendors...

I’d look at their website, and contact us link... if they’re in CA... odds are they are closed as a business, and I would send them an email if they are actually still shipping... otherwise you could be sending money for something that may not ship for weeks to months.

I ordered, VG, batteries, flavoring, within a day of the pandemic became mainstream news... knowing it may cause major issues.

That's what I was thinking too. There's nothing on their websites right now, which you'd think they would do if they were closed.

I'm down to about 65mls of Nic.
