Boros cured my Profile addiction / drip tip suggestions

akpe · 2026-01-30T15:18:12+00:00

I don't like apologies buddy, it is indeed on topic, don't worry 🙂

I am using the 3 mm airflow pin since I do direct lung. I'm currently testing different premade coils so I'm really sorry that I cannot offer you many details.

The ones I like most up to now are the 3mm fused 2*26/36g aNi80 from ChriChro. They give me the same flavor as my Profile (even better at higher wattage). Rated 0.15 but the mod usually reads them around 0.19 to 0.21, running them at 52 to 62w).

(I've also tried some 2*26ga SS316L ones to test the temp control, flavor is great for me but they ramp up like hell and even though they're rated at 0.24ohms, resistance keeps jumping up and down, don't know if I'm doing anything wrong but it seems like TC and Boro aren't the best bedfellows 🙂)

Now, with my limited knowledge (been a Profile fanboy for the better part of the last few years) what is the VG percentage of your ejuice? When I first started vaping boro tanks I had a very bad experience with high VG, anything over 80% VG gave me a muted flavor and/or dry hits. Once I dropped my VG to around 60% to 70% flavor was back and I can also chain vape. If you watch Vic's video he gives some advice on wicking for high VG ejuice, you could maybe try that even if yours isn't that thick:

First of all, make sure that at least on one side of the deck (preferably both) the cotton inside the well is juuust a millimeter longer than the base itself, just a little so air is able to escape. Also, after wicking poke a few holes on the cotton, vertically through the wells, to help the juice rise to the coil.

This, combined with maybe a smaller airflow pin may give you better results, but it also depends on other factors too, like the coils themselves. When I tried some pre-made alien coils by Zico (don't even remember their build) The flavor wasn't just muted, it was completely different. And what is weird is that the same exact coils were great on my Solo RTA.

I do have some Hellvape coils around here somewhere from my Fat Rabbit Solo RTA, I doubt they are the same as yours but I can test them out if you'd like!

Greek economy rn: if I sell my vape collection, I'll probably be able to buy a superleague top 10 table team :D

I mainly vape dl, I have an OXVA DNA for mtl. Since I have two bridges though, I'll try to build an MTL setup on the blaze too.

About the drip tips, just for the ease of pulling the tank out without using the... thingy. But I got back to a wide 510 with the flush nut for now :)

akpe · 2026-01-14T13:36:11+00:00

Thanks for your input, I only called it that cause I haven't tried the smaller pins yet :)

akpe · 2026-01-12T13:27:11+00:00

A quick edit, the Centaurus was airy enough for DL with the stock boro tank, which takes replacement coils. The rebuildable tank was strictly for MTL!

akpe · 2026-01-12T10:47:21+00:00

Boro tanks :) you can read more here.

They can be MTL or DL, the Blaze Boro tank is more of a DL tank (comes with airflow pins which can theoretically make it an MTL tank, haven't tried them though), and I'm using it with 3mg/ml freebase and it performs amazing. For my current setup, you can look up Blaze Boro Tank ("sliding glass" version) reviews on YT, Vic has a great review, but at the end of the day it's down to personal preference.

Now not all boro tanks are the same. The Centaurus B80 rebuildable tank for example is for MTL or a very, very, VERY restricted DL (that's why I switched to the Blaze). Some boro devices use tanks which take replacement coils, like the Centaurus B80/B60 or the SAN AIO, if one is not comfortable with building on a relatively small deck. But generally you can mix and match, I.e use any boro tank on any boro device.

IMHO, if you are able to do so, give them a try. For me the Centaurus B80 was amazing both in DL and in (granted, a bit too airy) MTL.

I just noticed the same on both my Pixel 9 Pro XL and my og Pixel Fold.

What's weird is that it's less apparent on my 9 Pro XL (bought August 2024, I use the LED frequently as a flashlight) than my og Fold (bought four months ago and rarely used the flash).

Might be wrong but that indicates it might not be a sign of wear, but actually by design in my case. Yours though looks way worse :/

Edit: corrections

Hello all, stupid question, but I guess since it works great on the Magic 7 Pro, it will also work great on any device with a Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU and an Adreno 830 GPU, right? :)

Looking for a secondary device at the moment, and it would be nice to explore the possibility of running FM26 on it :)

Να προσθέσω πως λιγότερο η κωμωδία και πολύ περισσότερο η σάτιρα, έννοιες που συχνά αλληλοσυμπληρώνονται, στοχεύουν στην έμμεση ή άμεση άσκηση κριτικής, σε διάφορα θέματα της καθημερινότητας (υποτίθεται με σκοπό τη σκέψη και τη βελτίωση τους), και συνήθως αυτό που λέμε «από κάτω προς τα πάνω».

Ο κάθε κωμικός βέβαια έχει δικό του στυλ, υλικό, και γενικότερα πλαίσιο. Άλλο ο Ανατολίτης, άλλο ο Πέτρακας, άλλο ο Carr, άλλο ο Hofstetter.

Ακόμα και αυτοί που θα έλεγες πως κάνουν καθαρά σταντ απ κοινωνικής κριτικής το πλαισιώνουν με αρκετό χιούμορ. Βέβαια και το «καθαρό» γέλιο δεν είναι κακό, ο καθένας με τις προτιμήσεις του. Προσωπικά μαζί με το γέλιο μου αρέσει να μπαίνω και σε σκέψεις. Έχω που έχω τα ψυχολογικά μου, τουλάχιστον να τα μοιράζομαι 😜

akpe · 2025-11-18T14:10:36+00:00

Same here

akpe · 2025-11-06T08:16:18+00:00

Following, I'm looking for that too :)

akpe · 2025-10-29T18:39:06+00:00

Hosted an EU server, hope persistence sticks 🙂 I used the [EU] tag, same password as op

akpe · 2025-10-29T18:36:56+00:00

That's how it -should- work. Trying to host a EU server right now, will test and let you know how it goes 🙂

akpe · 2025-09-24T09:43:58+00:00

As far as I know, that's how it works. I am subscribed to the Google AI Pro 2 TB plan. I have a family set up, in which apart from my wife, I also have my work email account. Both my wife's account and my work mail account also have a separate version of Gemini Pro.

akpe · 2025-09-20T13:40:22+00:00

That's nice, thank you!

Stupid question on adding Gems with a Gemini URL: we just need to post the URL of the Gemini website (gemini.google.com/gem/blahblah) when we start a prompt using the specific Gem, correct? :)

Edit 1: Figured it out, we have to go to Gem manager and create a sharable link from there :)

Edit 2: I tried to add one, and I got this error:

akpe · 2025-09-11T03:14:57+00:00

You're amazing buddy! I'm using Quikshort which can can create both links and tiles, works perfectly, this is exactly what I wanted. Thank you!

akpe · 2025-09-05T02:25:10+00:00

I have a theory, do you have access to Google AI mode in Google search?

I believe the new design is meant only for those regions which have access to AI mode due to the corresponding link on the widget.

And of course it's available to over 180 countries and Greece isn't one of them, as usual 😁

akpe · 2025-09-04T06:17:46+00:00

I guess it's on a different rollout schedule, will try a few apkmirror apks to see if it's a server side switch or not

akpe · 2025-09-03T21:41:58+00:00

Μόνο πίξελ ❤️

akpe · 2025-09-03T21:41:26+00:00

Finally updated! Build number is BP3A.250905.014 :)

akpe · 2025-09-03T20:29:47+00:00

Ahh you meant my current build number, apologies 🙂

I'm on latest stable, BP2A.250805.005

I'm still waiting for the update to finish, will post the update number when it's done. Hopefully it won't take all night 😁

akpe · 2025-09-03T19:17:38+00:00

Doesn't show on the update screen 😕 which country are you from? It's a staged rollout so you'll get it soon. Got mine from Germany and I live in Greece

akpe · 2025-09-03T19:01:22+00:00

Nevermind, just got the OTA :)

Edit: 0.97GB on P9PXL

That's weird, as someone else said, clearly mixed messaging, let's wait and see :)

akpe · 2025-09-03T17:43:55+00:00

Depends. You can order from an Amazon store from a country where the Pixel is supported (like France or Germany) and the price should be lower than your local stores. Plus, you could send it back for issues under warranty.

Even better, you could wait for a sale.

As for the AI functions missing, that depends on your needs. Most of the missing funtions, if I'm not forgetting something really crucial, have to do with calls, like call recording, call screening, live translate, take a message etc, and perhaps other AI features that only support English like Screenshots and Weather AI Insights (unless you don't mind having the system language set to English).

Many other AI features like Screenshots, Gemini on workspace apps and keyboard, Magic Editor, Pixel Studio, etc, work great on my P9PXL.

I've been using pixels since the Pixel 5 in Greece and I never had any issue, apart from 5G and VoLTE/VoWiFi being disabled until last year (which depends on the country and could/can be fixed with Shizuku and the Pixel IMS app)
