@Raindance I am sure Dirty Harry is thanking you for the pit stop, nothing like a fresh wick and a great juice as ones reward for the effort.
That is very true. Must add that although I am weary of supporting hype, three new things have surprised me over the past few day's.
The Dvarw does live up to the promises being made.
Titanium fibre cotton does make a difference, Iv'e been using the recurve for eighteen months and fist time I get this level of flavour.
Last but not least, @KZOR 's FruiTea. Not a fruity tea fan but this is just perfect. Subtle fresh Peach and Apricot chilled with a touch of ice and just sweet enough to be nice but not overbearingly "in your face" as is often the case with fruity flavours. At last something to mix up my ADV routine with.

Regards
 
Great pitstop @Raindance
If I may ask, what coil and ID have you got in the Dvarw?

Dual core NI80 fused Clapton. It's a @Moerse Rooikat creation, think its 38 over 28 AWG. 2.5mm ID coming to 0.5 Ohm. Tried to copy Rob's setup in his video on wicking the Dvarw and this was the closest wire I had. Even running it at 28W, which after testing does seem to be the sweet spot.

Been a while since I gave the Petri V2 a whirl.

New wicks for the dual coils

Love this rda. More airflow than the hadaly. But still very good flavour.

Thats some beautiful wicking there @Silver
 
First time wicking my Zeus x by myself.
Doesn't look to bad.IMG_20190802_184837.jpg
 
Congrats @Arra
How’s the vape ?
 
Ok so my first photographed major pit stop

All Atties soaked and cleaned. Mods wiped down and contacts polished.

Then glorious fresh flavor flave. VAPE ON!!!
 
Busy pitstopping the mighty Lemo1

This tank is really from Noah’s Ark

But I tell you what it produces the crispest and sharpest flavour for my VM Syrawberry Menthol blend. I’ve tried many a tank and none are as razor sharp as this.

Disassembled and coil has been cleaned...

Been meaning to pitstop this tank for a long time. This wick had done about 50ml ! Flavour was fading and off but still wasn’t bad at all.

Also mixed up my VM Strawberry menthol blend.

In with the Rayon

Rayon because it just works so beautifully for this juice in this device at low power. Crisp is its strength in my view

Next is setting the wicks. Drape method. @BumbleBee taught me this many moons ago. It’s tricky but after a while it’s easy. Just touching the decks. Pushed gently against the back walls. Leaving the juice channels open.

My trusty Dischem scissors. Side comment : I’ve tried to like the Vape Shears but I just can’t get used to them. It’s the grip of the Dischem ones that is ingrained in my hands. And it’s so comfortable. And sharp.

And voila. The mighty Lemo1 is back in action. As sharp as can be. Razor blade menthol burns in the throat. Lovely!!!!

By the way this atty has been on the Sig100 plus for years and I love this mod. It’s my best desk vape. Sturdy. 2 batteries. The best fire button on any mod I have. And rock solid reliable.

Interesting story. When Sigelei applied to VapeCon I sent them a picture of my mod out of excitement to show them I was vaping on a Sig. Lol, the lady said she didn’t recognize it. Hehe. Was likely before her time. The Sig rocks.

Some help from my "little friends" with my pit stop.

Thank you kindly @Silver
 
Time to re-wick the Juggerknot mini. I was not that impressed with it until I ordered a 4mm 3x26/36 alien from @RiaanRed
My word now this atty really shine.

Just pitstopped the mighty Skyline

It just needed a wick but has been sitting on the bench for quite a long time.
Am so glad to have it back in action. This tank has such wonderful crisp flavour. Low power - only about 16 Watts. But man, does this tank perform in the flavour department!!! I forgot about it for a while. Lol.

Vaping LIT Sidechick which the Skyline does superb justice to. This is a top juice for me. It’s a pear litchi menthol flavour and it’s lovely.

Sidechick in the Skyline is the business!
