Show us your Pit Stop

PS - the reason I put the Kayfun 5 on the Pico was also because I was inspired by the following post by @Amir :

You are right @Amir, the Pico is underrated. Its a lovely little mod. Perhaps for me its a tad too small but it packs a punch and has been reliable for me so far. Kayfun V5 is a bit tall for it but it works perfectly

That’s the pico’s biggest calling card. It’s reliable. Mine has been around and it’s one of the first mods I ever owned. My wife used it, my bro, my cuz, my dad... eventually it found its way back to me and it’s still pulling strong.

Quick hotel pitstop. Mainly to refuel.

Travel companions are the BB, SubTank Mini and Reo Black

Very fast refill on the BB with my Sidechick blend.

What the BB suffers in the schlepp to recoil and wick it makes up for with the easiest and fastest fill procedure.

And battery efficiency! Have vaped one Boro tankful and the battery indicator hasn't fallen much at all. Will get at least 2.5 tankfuls on one battery.

These factors make the BB a mean travel machine.
 
Did you pick up some of that new Cotton Bacon to test out Mr Fisher?

Not yet @GerritVisagie... I do have a couple of packs in my shopping basket but I don't wanna ship two packets of cotton and pay for shipping... plus I just got 4 packs of the all new Titanium Fibre Cotton from Malaysia which I'm testing and really enjoying!

Three way pitstop. Rewicking, refueling and new batts.

Just had one of those special 'moments'. All three devices just tasting so superb. And firing perfectly.
@Rob Fisher coined this term a while back. Having one of those now.

Blackbird in Reo Black. It's stunning. I know it so well yet tonight it tastes perfect. My MTL king !

Sunshine Cured in Reo Mini. Nicced up. So good. Such a pocket rocket.

And finally JOOSE-E-LIQZ Havana Nightz in the Hadaly. Superb. My word. The flavour is so good.

Have had a tough week and weekend on the work front. Another tough week ahead.

But moments like these I cherish greatly and wish to share.
 
Time to pitstop and rewick a workhorse

The mighty Lemo1 - which is my main driver while working at the computer.

This wick has chugged through 48ml of my VM Strawberry menthol blend. So it's overdue a new wick

Right. The pitstop of this special workhorse is complete.

Rayon wick in. Quite tight because Rayon gets smaller when wet. Rayon is my preferred wick for this setup. Works so well and gives such a crisp vape with fruity menthols at low power (10-15W).

And then the 'drape' method. Cutting the wicks just right so they drape onto the deck. Easier after it's lubed up to see how much to cut. This is the secret for me to getting it to work well. Thanks to @BumbleBee who helped me wih this back in the day ;-)

All closed up and voila !

This is a mighty desktop workhorse and gets huge praise in my vaping. On the Sig100 plus which to me is such an outstanding desktop driver. Stands solid. 2 batts so long life at this power. And that fire button!! Also reliable as anything.

The juice is my Vapour Mountain Syrawberry menthol blend. It's about 12-14mg and has lots of menthol. That strawberry is just perfect. This vape setup has remained 'locked down' with the same coil, wick and juice for about 2 years.

Sharp like a razor!

Time to pitstop the Skyline. It needs a new wick. This wick has chugged through about 27ml of juice. Could probably go further but I have the time now....

New Royal Wick is in

The superfine Clapton seems to be holding up nicely.

Bit of a snip on the sides of the wick. All in and lubed up.

Filled up with my LIT Sidechick plus nic plus extra menthol blend.

Vape it baby!

And the flavour has improved. Amazing how slowly it degrades when the wick gets older such that you don't really notice it. Only when a new wick is in do you pick up the change.

Such glorious flavour on this Skyline. Lots of respect and I will put up with the limited juice capacity because the flavour is so good. It's juicy and dense. Yet enough crispness too. Amazing.

Loving the Skyline. Thanks to @Rob Fisher it must be said!
 
Yip! Despite it's shortcomings it's still the best flavour tank in the world!

Its amazing @Rob Fisher
I didnt believe that it had such good flavour back when that group buy took place
But it pulled through and has surprised me.
It has such a pure kind of flavour. Very pristine.
Working so well for my fruity menthols!!

Edit - forgot to mention - what i also like about this tank is that it behaves so well. No leaks!
 
The Exocet got some love

And the Castle RDA got a big fat alien installed in it
