New wick for the Skyline.

dbc4d3c0f63851c60811e858c1e82063.jpg


Filled up with LIT Sidechick, the great pear and litchi ice juice - which has become fairly locked down on this tank.

Previous wick did about 33ml of juice (approx 11 tankfuls).

Despite the inconvenient small tank size this tank gives me the best flavour for my fruity menthol vapes.

The flavour for me on the Skyline is just astounding. So pure. Clean. Crisp. The airflow and power are so well matched. (No airdisk, one slot open, 0.7ohm superfine clapton, 16-18Watts). Long restricted lung hits are glorious.

What a great tank

And now a new wick for the Exocet in the Billet box

The current wick had done about 35ml of juice.

Dry burn on the Smiley coil which is doing very well.

Bit of a mission to get the boro out, relubricate all the seals and get it back in but made up by the easy wicking on the Exocet. It's so easy.

Voila - BB is now sporting a new wick and the flavour is crisp and clean again.

Love my BB. The king of convenience and portability - with a superb vape quality. It's my out and about device when I need a proper vape.

Is that an SXK exocet or authentic?

I have tried to get mine to go on my pico but it just doesn't want to take.

Its an authentic @Adephi - and I am thankful it works on the Pico!!!
The threading just takes...

I dont have one of those coilmaster tabs

My SXK does not take. Not on the Pico, Squeeze or Ikuu. It did on my RSQ and I have managed on a twips and Smok.

I just press and wiggle until it reads and then fire and let go before my fingers burn.
 
Time to pitstop the mighty Nuppin V1

Just a rewick.

Coils glowing on the dry burn. These are twin 28g simple singles. About 0.9 ohms each so 0.45 for the pair. They give a nice crisp vape and fast ramp is a bonus.

And some fresh CB2. I like this wick for tobacco juices...

Lubed up and wicks nicely resting on the deck. Ready to rock n roll.

And the mighty Nuppin V1 is firing beautifully on Reo Blue. What a glorious vape from this "old school" atty. have had it a few years and it doesnt disappoint. When you set the coils up correctly and at the right height, this atty is a flavour server of note. And the old Odin drip tip works like a charm.

Juice inside is Iced Widow by The Chefs Special Sauce. I like this juice a lot. It's lovely. It's a cool Tobacco. Not too icy. I add a few menthol drops for that :D It has a lovely medium Tobacco taste with a spicy tone. Not too dry. It's delicious for me.

Pitstop for the mighty SubTank Mini

It needed a new coil. New 28g Ka simple single. I like 28g for more crispness. 2mm ID. 1.16 ohms.

Rayon wick. I like this wick for my low power fruity menthols in the Lemo and SubTank. It works so well.

... in position and covering the juice holes. After some gentle prodding with the small screwdriver. You can't see that in the photo but the SubTank Mini is one of the easiest and most forgiving to coil and wick.

And voila - the mighty SubTank is firing beautifully again. The coil now purrs instead of a bit of a hiss when it's getting too old.

Legendary tank for me. No fuss. No bother. As reliable as they come. No leaks in about 2 or 3 years! Great flavour on my VM Strawberry and Paulie's Guava menthol blend. This is my car vape and accompanies me on all outings. No major clouds but performs flawlessly.
 
Time to rewick the Petri V2 RDA

This RDA gives me great flavour by the way. Love it. Airflow not too much.

A bit of a dry burn. @smilelykumeenit coils still looking good

Fresh CB2 wicks

Juiced up and ready to go. With the great Majestic Creme by @Sash

Such a delicious juice! Still can't believe how great the chocolate flavour is. And not too sweet. Lovely lovely lovely. And I am not a big dessert vaper.

I will have to try the Majestic Creme again. @Sash rewicked his RDA for me when I tasted sour cream/yoghurt and we thought it could be the previous juice still lingering. Afterwards I still tasted the same though. Not completely unpleasant but a little strange with a faint Romany Cream aftertaste. Everyone raves about the chocolate taste so I am just going to have to give it another go.

That is strange @Vilaishima , i dont get any sour cream or yoghurt from Majestic Creme
Just tasty chocolate and very authentic too!
Unless your taste buds are different, which could be - one never knows with taste.
 
Pitstop for the Rose MTL

First, make another "Havana Nightz blend". Up nic from 6mg to about 12mg and add 10 VM Menthol drops.

Am actually enjoying this tank more and more. About my 5th tankful or so. Maybe the coil and wick have settled. Throat hit is intensifying a bit and the flavour is even better. Am still using the supplied coil (looked like a superfine clapton of sorts, 0.75 ohms)

Am really liking Havana Nightz in here. For starters, the juice is legendary. @Naeemhoosen made a gem - but with a bit of menthol and a bit more nic it kicks better. Probably helps too that its a bit thinner because am adding PG nic.

The Rose MTL is great. Not a single problem encountered so far. Behaves very well. Extremely quiet. Very happy with my purchase from @BumbleBee - you spotted this one well Bee!

Oh, and the whole experience has been uplifted because the VTC Mini is back in service. Can't believe this device was benched for so long. It's a lovely mod. Super screen, puff counters and all. And a comfy fire button. Size is perfect for a little MTL vape. And at 20 Watts, the battery lasts a tank so its good.
 
I used to hate Pit Stopping... but now I so look forward to it because I know in a few minutes I will be vaping perfection! Clean Alien Coils with fresh TFC wick and fresh Red Pill in the Dvarw's! OMG! :h:

Time to rewick and dry burn the Petri V2 RDA

After some dryburning and cleaning with sunlight soap and an old toothbrush , the @smilelykumeenit coils are looking pretty good again

Rewicked with Cotton Bacon V2

Thinning the tails a bit and fluffing out. Then lubing up. All ready to go. Ooh I love this part!

And voila! Sunday night treat with the delicious Majestic Creme. What a great juice. Love it. Tasty Chocolate biscuits. Mmmmmm....

Big respect to you again @Sash. You made a winner here!
 
Love that part to @Silver, nothing better than that first tank or drip session after a clean and rewick, everything fresh again.
 
OK off up the coast for a week to chill and do some fishing and interfacing with the family. So it's time to Pit Stop all the squonkers and tanks that won't be going with.
