Vape bands are like condoms, absolutely pointless unless you really need one.

Agree... I wouldn't be caught dead with a vape band on my vape gear (and I never use frangers on "my" gear either).

Forgive me but I am a rather curious fellow. Can someone please tell me what "FOMO" means? I am still learning the Vape jargon.

@RobFisher What is your connection to porcupines if I may ask?

FOMO is a serious medical condition.

It stands for Fear Of Missing Out :D

North American Porcupines live where Rob from Reosmods stays... when he moved into his place (House and Factory) in Maine a family of Porcupines would visit him and he would feed them and they have become so tame they walk in and out of his house and are now part of the REO family and have become the defacto REO Mascot.
 
Now I NEED to have one of these as well

Need to check which cpt vendors have them.
 
Just a headsup for any Serpent Mini 25 owners battling if they don't have Cotton Bacon for wicking. Thanks for the tip @Genosmate!

@Genosmate didn't have Cotton Bacon and was using other wicking materials he had and was fighting with the wicking on the SM25 and getting dry hits... so he removed the little ring around the deck and increased the wicking (ie not cutting off 50-70% of the tail) and primed the cotton and shepherded the tails into the juice indentation... put the tank on and refilled... bingo!

I just tested the theory (and I use Cotton Bacon) and I must say removing the ring does improve wicking and the flavour is still spot on!

The 1 problem with removing the ring is even you pull out the deck sometimes your wicks will move as well.
 
Great , thx for the tip @Genosmate , my budget is long blown (literally scraped some bucks together to buy a SM25) so the Cotton Bacon will have to wait. Hopefully receiving my Serpent tomorrow!

Switching to Cotton Bacon V2 stopped my leaks. I did remove the rings on them to wick them as I didn't groom the wicks, but did reinstall them after wicked.

But all good things must come to an end... both of my SM25's started leaking again yesterday. Probably just need to be rewicked, but I'm not in the mood to pit stop them so just set them aside for now. The SM22 on the other hand has not missed a beat since I recoiled it and wicked it the same way 10 days ago.
 
@Rob Fisher what is your opinion on the black paint work? Any chance of peeling or chipping easily?

well ive had my Black SM25 since vapecon and i use it daily, ive had no peeling, no chips and im still using the same O rings as well.

the only issue ive had with this is the condensation around the airflow ring and you tend to see it more on the black IMO.

sorry i know you asked Rob but just my 2 cents

I very rarely ever buy black tanks for that exact reason... but I must say the black SM25 still looks as good as the day I got it. The quality of the SM25 range is about the best quality I have seen in a tank!

I just checked mine and it's doesn't have a mark on it... but I'm sure a Stainless Steel one will last better. But the black SM25 is about eight hundred and twenty four million times better than a black Kangertech tank!
