Looked at the Paypal USD/RM exchange rates on Black Friday, and was very discouraged. Shopee'd locally instead.

My Crius Plus now has a companion...an Engine Not bad for 80 shrinking Malaysian ringgit...cheaper and faster delivery than FT.
Freshly washed n dried atty...will build it tonight.

I'd go with Goblin Mini v3, but I'm biased due to very fond memories of the original Goblin Mini and Ni coils.

Merlin mini seems to have a more restrictive draw, if that is your preference. This video may be worth yr time:

Update on OBS Engine: Put it thru the usual 5hPa drop in air pressure test while on it's side and AFC wide open. No leaking. Very pleased with overall performance, will be buying another one.

Make yr mech mod more phallic!

U can also try asking at vape shops or the nearest Mr DIY

Congratulations and welcome to the non-smoker's club!

Keep it up...the benefits are huge

In case u still need cotton...last unit http://www.lazada.com.my/koh-gen-do-organi...s-17927788.html

Wanted to compare the prices of iJoy products between Shopee Malaysia and Philippines.
Ran a search for ijoy on the Malaysian site


Then I ran the same search at the Philippine site. I never knew ijoy made such devices

Yahoo! Am happy for u!

You're most welcome bro! The way I figure, I owed u one...cos till today each time I think of muji and wiping lcd screens, I'll laugh like mad If laughter is the best medicine, I think your comment on cotton made me younger by 10 years!

Aaah u gotta give the ad some pop and zing......

For freshly-harvested-at-source KGD, kindly contact Eiraku. Wading thru pristine snowfields with katana in hand, each organic cotton pad is expertly sliced from heavily-laden tree branches and packaged on-site.
KGD will bring forth the smallest nuances of your juice and make you feel like composing a haiku after every puff. Experience the zen of KGD and have an ichiban vape today!

I got mine from a kind sg lass who flies there often

IMO it's worthwhile to try Cotton Bacon v2, Vapers Choice Cotton (VCC Supima...the long neat fibers are nice), Kendo/Kendo Gold and most definitely KGD. I have those cottons, but if forced to choose only 1 to take to a desert island, I'd go with KGD any day.

VCC has even better flavor (and longer fibers) than Kendo Gold...but I'll still eschew those cottons in favor for KGD on a desert island for a common reason: they both have very long break-in times. Juice and charged batts r precious resources on them islands y'know.

I have hemp-seed oil cream from Body Shop...but that's not for internal consumption. No need for narcotics lah...I'm high on life!

OK just a heads-up for those looking for KGD...it's back in stock at Lazada for RM60.30 including delivery (or less if u have a coupon like Xnet had ) http://www.lazada.com.my/koh-gen-do-organi...s-17927788.html
I'll shaddap now otherwise ppl will think I'm a lazada shill/KGD spokesperson.

Eiraku's charging RM60...that's 30sen cheaper. Hey, 30 sen is a lot of money...u save 30 sen here, 30 sen there the u have 60 sen and u can buy...err...something that costs 60 sen. Do the right thing..be a man! And bear in mind that Eiraku has to take the risks of earthquakes, tsunamis, godzilla and kaiju in his path!!

My old post on KGD https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...post&p=79730136

EDIT: BTW, I'm on my 3rd bag of KGD. The cotton flies fast when there's 8-20 vaping buddies visiting me

Offhand I don't know any sellers of the Crown v2, and can only suggest that u try contacting https://www.facebook.com/vapehyper/ to see if they're stocking any. Hyper Vape had sold over 1000 units of the original Crown earlier this year, so maybe they'll be having the v2 in hand.

I'm on the lookout for the Uwell D2 to add to my collection of "leak-free" RTAs...it's kinda overpriced at the moment even with Fasttech's 15% Xmas discount, and our shrunken ringgit doesn't help.

Your KGD/misc borong sales should pay for that 2nd bag...go for it!!

Excellent! IMO it's the best all-round cotton. Enjoyyyy!

Too little cotton/improper placement of cotton = leaking
Too much cotton = dry hit.

The trick is to find a happy medium. Some prefer the S-shaped wicking technique but to me, it impedes juice flow.

I prefer the simple pancake method.
My build: 26ga SS316l 3mm internal diameter, 6 spaced wraps.

The cotton should not be too tight in the coil...just some slight resistance when you pull it. Cut cotton to the edge of the deck and fluff it well

The cotton should not be packed into the juice intake holes; It should just be touching the holes gently and completely. Bear in mind the cotton will expand after priming.


After priming, if necessary, use a small screwdriver/piece of wire to poke at the cotton from the INSIDE of the RBA so that it'll be firmly touching the juice intake holes. You should see a nice gelatinous mass of wet cotton completely covering the holes.


The Crown is my choice when traveling, due to the convenience of using OCC (excellent flavor) instead of rebuilding while on the road. I play with the RBA only when at home.

One last thing...you may wish to try a 80VG or max VG juice....the higher viscosity compared to a 50VG juice does help a bit in reducing chances of leakage.

Anyone here squonking?

Am looking to pair a LowPro RDA with an unregulated Pico Squeeze as a very pocket-friendly carry-around vape. Any other squonker mod suggestions (mech pls) are appreciated.

Also am looking for BF pins with longer threads (FT's pin is too short, Fat Daddy's too pricey) to convert a few RDAs into squonkers.
