http://mall.shopee.com.my/item/?sid=6797786&iid=34588945 RM85, 8 units left but be warned that poslaju is jammed up till after raya.

https://www.facebook.com/vapehyper/ RM110, call to see if it's still in stock. They sold over 1k units Uwell Crowns...I won't be surprised if the serpent mini sells very well too.

Yes. Used a borrowed Serpent mini for half a tank, and I have the Crown v1. They're very comparable in terms of flavor. But I won't be getting one even tho it looks perfect on a Pico; frequent refilling can be a pain, like on the Melo 3 mini.

No...on normal 3mmID Ni80.

I prefer to use normal coils (no twisted/parallel/clapton/etc) to test atomizers for a simple reason: if an atty can give u very decent or great flavor on a normal coil, that means it's been designed well. The airflow's smoothness, chimney width/height etc all contribute to the flavor experience. Claptons and fancy coils will put out more flavor and a denser vape....and that may mask an atomizer's shortcomings.

Pardon the mess. Pic of my crown's rba. Single coil only. Before the iron taste problem hit me, I loved the Crown's OCC...a beautiful vape, and a tad frustrating because I could never build the RBA to be as good as the OCCs, not that the RBA was lacking...it gives very good flavor too, just not as good as the OCC.

The RBA is a simple but effective affair, with a clip-on barrel.

Nickel is Ni200. Ni80 is nichrome (which does contain some nickel).

You'll be a bit better off with the Serpent mini...it looks VERY nice on a Pico, like it belongs there. The Crown won't go onto the Pico because of the AFC knurling; it hits the battery cap...and slapping on a heat sink to raise the atty-to-mod height makes it top-heavy and ungainly, not to mention added unnecessary inefficiency.

No worries. I think it's fine to test using normal SS coils, if that's what u r comfortable with.

The following may be helpful to vapers who taste iron when using kanthal/stainless steel coils.

Been cracking my head for some time as to why I get such a nauseatingly heavy iron taste till I cannot use any coil that has Fe content. The iron taste started with normal kanthal coils, then progressed to claptons wound using kanthal, and then to SS coils.

Normally I only use DIY juices, but today for experimental purposes I bought a bottle of godrottingly overpriced nicotine-free King Flav 70VG mango juice.

Built 2 attys with Kanthal 26 and 27 awg 3mmID, filled up with King Flav and went thru 5 half-tankfulls....no iron taste! Went thru another tankful on SS316l...still no iron taste. A clue, Sherlock! My DIY citrus extracts (lemon, orange, limau kapas, pomelo) may be too acidic. Add on 0.9 saline, a touch of malic acid (Sour) and a heated coil, and that may be a probable cause for iron leaching from the coils into the vapor and onto my tastebuds.

This begs the question as to why the SS which my attys are made from do not give off an iron taste as well when I use Ni80 coils and DIY citrus flavors. Probable reasons: the SS are of a different grade which may be more resistant to acidity, and the heat from the coils transmitted indirectly to SS surfaces is not high enough to cause/contribute to such a reaction.

Now I'm cracking my head on how to reduce the acidity of my citrus extracts while minimizing adverse effects on the flavor.

If you're gonna get one, the Nugget's USD23.57 @ FT, after coupon code FREEDOM, but gotta wait for restocking.

While u decide, Ima fogging up my house, pondering which mods to get (and whether they can be found locally for a lower price)

I'll build 6 claptons on it one of these days...and fog up the neighborhood

Tornado goes up to 300W

Now where's my spare truck battery??

Majilis perbandaran hasn't fogged my area for some time...hoping my DIY citrus extract fog will shoo away mosquitos...public service vaping

Naah...it'll never be as bad as smog from Indonesia.

I think George Lucas was prophetic, calling them Jawas

I don't own a serpent mini, used a friend's unit with my own drip tip ( https://www.fasttech.com/products/1546312 ), and I think it's better because the stock drip tip is a bit short.

Looks-wise, it matches the atty. The bore (5mm) is the same as the stock DT. Minor con: only has 1 o-ring, but it's not loose nor does it pop out easily. Because it has only 1 o-ring, it will have some give, and lean to one side when sufficient horizontal pressure is applied. Bad if u don't like a DT that can move a bit, good if u accidentally hit a tooth while talking a toke.

3mm bore (but shorter, and in stock) https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/1001911...el-510-drip-tip

It's a bit too restrictive for me, but may suit u.

19mm is the height of the driptip, no bearing on, or interaction with any openings in the atty. The serpent's topcap takes standard 510 driptips; this driptip's base outer diameter is 8.5mm...it'll fit.

Are you referring to the comment left by the user named klseklse? If so, I suggest you re-read it carefully. That user is essentially saying that other sellers' lg hg2 were fakes, and was not referring to alexng.



FWIW, the 6pcs HG2's I got from alexng are still working as well as the 4pcs I got from vape empire and a friend's vape shop.

The closest customer review that mentioned "50%" was by klseklse...and it was not directed at alexng.

Anyways....
Bought 2 pcs HG2 from VE SS15 (near that Pelita restaurant)..but that was in july or aug last year. Can't remember the exact month...but I do remember the choking grey haze...was the first time I seen such haze in west malaysia. Give them a call to see if they still have stock.

IMO there's no diff in performance between the VE batts and alexng's....but there is a great diff in price. You can also try our own Sonnycool in garage sales. He has been very forthright about the batteries he sells.

Kalau u berhajat beli dua dua, ambil Tornado dulu. Pasang dua gegelung 3mm diameter dalaman 26g Ni80 yg dibuat dgn 5 atau 6 liputan berjarak. Wap dan perisa yg dikeluarkannya cukup memuaskan. Dah lebih sebulan aku tak sentuh lain rta atau rda...Tornado aje yg dipakai siang malam Kalau dipasang 4 gegelung, I tak tahan...terlalu kuat flavornya.
