The new one of mine is black. I looked at the blue, and I like it, but decided I'd rather have something a little more neutral. I'd really love to have a silver one. FT and 3F both have the blue, just fyi.

I don't know why the change at AliExpress. You'll notice the sellers who have vape gear available to us are pretty low-key about it. I wonder if they are classifying the gear in such a way that AE can't block it - in other words, lying about what they sell.

I just had to file a dispute with my credit card company over one of the sellers there, who absolutely refuses to understand that I received a package but the package didn't contain everything it was supposed to. I ordered a set of doors and a bridge; they shipped the doors but not the bridge. So I'm done with that seller, and as a matter of fact, if I order from AE again, I will only order one item per order, so they can't do this mess to me again.

One thing about AE - their packages sure seem to come quickly. I was loving that! :)

Replying to my own post, yes, but feel it's only fair to follow up on what I said about AliExpress.

I filed a dispute with my cc company. A couple of days later, AE is suddenly willing to issue a refund for the bridge that was missing. They sent me a new "proposed resolution" and I accepted it, so the credit on my cc will become permanent, I reckon.

Still don't want to do battle like this every time, so my one-item-rule stands, unless the items are very cheap, as in, less than $15 each. I just get the impression that the seller I was dealing with uses the supposed "language barrier" as an excuse to not understand anything that is not in the seller's favor. Don't think I'll order from that seller again, anyway - they left me pretty thoroughly pissed off.

Did you figure out what was causing the dry hits?
Or was that just in BB#2?

I've played musical boro tanks several times since then, but I think BB#2 wasn't reading its coil right. There was one tank I had to tighten down the coil. Long story short, I think it's resolved now.

Good to hear that it's resolved, dry hits are evil! :devil:

DIY - Carcopine Cheesecake (caramel/coconut/pineapple)... getting close to happy with this one, might make up a 30ml. Still going to try a slightly adjusted version to see what happens.

  • Artic Dolphin Anita Squonk
  • Haku Riviera
  • DIYFS Clove + a little HS-RY4

I like the lightweaight feel of it and the "murdered out" look of the combo. Old skool now I guess..lol
Plus, it vapes great with the old 0.55 ohm VV Superfine MTL SS coil in TC on the 'soft' setting at 30W...otherwise it's a tad too hot.

Not the mod's fault IMO, the Riviera just doesn't have much AF for the sort of build ya can stuff in there... this is old gear after all. But, it can adapt, so I'm good.

The Riviera is a still a great but little-known sqounking tank atty.
Clean and large deck, simple construction, easy building, etc.

Not quite as good as a Flave Tank IMHO, but what is? ;)

Sorry no pic... but Vaporesso Revenger X with NRG tank (GT 4 dual mesh coil) at 45 watts (coil is rated 50 watts +)
DIY lemon licorice butter mint w/marshmallow.
After this, the tank is getting an i-Joy RBA... wish me luck on that.

Don't know which one you have, but the iJoy RBAs I've used have been really good! Good luck with yours!

I really like how this RBA looks (EXO-S) Any suggestion for a coil? I have 26 ga kanthal and 24 ga Ni80 (I do have some fancy coils but want to start with a simple round wire) I'm thinking the 24 ga (how many wraps?) What do you use?

In an RBA where space is limited, I'd probably use five or six wraps of 26 ga SS, maybe 2.5mm ID. That 26 ga SS gets used quite a bit around here.
