Rewicked Reo Silver’s RM2 this evening

it’s a very simple procedure but I only do it about once a week. I do about 5ml per day on her (one of my desk Vapes) so I rewick after about 25-30ml

first up, after cleaning the coil I put in Cotton Bacon V2 and fluff up the tail feathers ;-) (with a needle)

Then trimmed, positioned and lubed up

what juice?
it’s an interesting blend for this week.
Diluted into my Nic base
Main feature is Vape Elixir Black Cigar (lovely roasted tobacco, quite strong) then a few drops of Rogue Hard Hitting Alliance (from Sir Vape a while back) and then a bit of Thrifty golden Virginia custard which sweetens it a bit but keeps to the tobacco slant.

Of course menthol from VM!

Mean awesome MTL tobacco vape
Ready for next week

Yesterday was a big pitstop for two solid workhorses in my crew

Reo Black and Reo Silver each got a new coil. They are both tobacco drivers.

Same coil in each. kanthal 29g Paracoil, 1.6mm ID, 5 double wraps. 0.45 ohms. For me this is tobacco MTL perfection in the RM2. Crisp, instant ramp. Lovely

Reo Black

Finally, a picture that only Vapers will understand ;-)

Kennedy clone. Cotton bacon comp wire, 26 awg 8.5 wraps each, came out at .43. Think I am a bit thin on the cotton on the one side. Not that the Kennedy cares, flavour for days. Cloud size is dependent on stress levels.

PS, meant to add as it is a mech. 0.43 Ohms @3.7 V = 32 W and 8.6 amps. Well within safety limits for a 25R battery.

Quick pitstop to refuel two mighty and dependable RTAs

Subtank Mini and the Skyline
Both with fruity menthol concoctions.

Subtank Mini has my VM Strawberry menthol blend with a dash of Paulies Guava

Skyline has some LIT Sidechick with some VK Prime FizzApple and added menthol

Delightful. Both MTL

Reo Black getting a much needed pitstop

Clean with sunlight
Rubbing alcohol

And am going to build a new paracoil

Coil is in

5 double wraps, 29g Kanthal, 0.47 ohms

Went smoother than I thought. Lol

Next up

Skyline needed a rewick

Royal Wicks is great for me in this tank with fruity menthols

All good

Skyline has such pure clean flavour. Love it

Not bad for a night's work when I haven't done pit stops in almost 3 years. 4 Zeus, 1 Serpent Elevate and a Recurve

Qbix pit stop, flavour is really awesome on this and it keeps up with my chain vaping while watching the Zuma drama!20210706_171658.jpg 20210706_172227.jpg 20210706_172326.jpg 20210706_172503.jpg 20210706_172714.jpg 20210706_172934.jpg 20210706_173429.jpg 20210706_173734.jpg 20210706_174411.jpg
 
Lunch time quicky. 24/36 claptons, 3 mm ID. Tried for .3 got .27 for the dual.

When you get a Blotto right it is a hard tank to beat, the draw is a bit restricted but how I like it, vapour production can be over the top and flavour is spot on. Very smooth on the draw. if you can see the mod, the camo is not working.

What mod are you using?
 
My eyesight is not what it was when I started vaping

Here I am taking photos of my coil to count the wraps. I needed 8 when looking from the top

That’ll do it. This is 28ga Kanthal 2mm ID , about 1.2 ohms for the mighty Subtank Mini in MTL setup

Lol I just checked now , it’s 9 wraps. I made a mistake. Haha

Anyway vape is good and crisp

No probs
 
PS - I struggled getting the coil into the Subtank Mini RBA deck. Those screws are tiny. Almost lost one and had to ask my 4 yr old son to help me look for it with a torch. He has eyes like a hawk
 
What do you think of the Qbix and Boxx in general? Really am considering it but even though I have found it going quite cheap a couple of times I pull out at the last minute! What's making me reconsider and not pulling the trigger is that I don't see other manufacturers producing tanks for it unlike with Boro tanks and Dot AIO tanks!
 
It's a very well made device, works great and Qbix has very good flavour. The door it extremely irritating as it is only help on with magnets and would of been much better with magnets AND a groove to slide in. That's my only problem with it
