Vaping

Well after using the kanger starter I was thinking it would be nice to get a drip setup so that I could change up flavors without having to dump a tank. I also did the cost analysis of my frequency of coil replacement plus the fact that when I hit about half battery, the vape quality takes a dump. I was going to go mech, but I figured why not get a box that could literally do anything I throw at it. Also, I go the box for 60$ and the rda for 40. So...now I just need to buy some kanthal and cotton and teach myself the building part which seems pretty easy.

Different strokes I guess.

I've been very happy with my Nautilus and 1.6 coils. I did just get a 30w iStick so I could drive it a little harder. Running 6v right now. Old 20w would top out at 5.5v. And I never change flavors. I find one I like and stick with it.

I bought another tank that uses 0.2 ohm coils. But the 30w iStick doesn't have enough ass to run it. I need something that's at least 50w.

Alot of people have an erection for the snow wolf. The one thing I don't like about it is the glass panels. I would baby it so hard and really don't want to worry about that. I've seen some reports of the temp control not working right on the SW.

I learned the very hard way that sometimes Vaping and Camping don't work.
Wait - vaping, camping, and shine, that's it.

I broke my Atlantis 2 by landing on it and somehow separating the connections points under the tank. So I am back to a kangertech mini, rocking the mini RDA inside it like a cool kid too.

Big ups on the 0mg. I'm still at three. But I mix a 3mg juice with my 0mg juice so I believe that puts me to like a 1.5mg

I just got the cloudwerks cv atty in the mail that I won about a month ago. Things so damn tiny I'm going to need to take it to my vape shop for a build. My fingers can't do it.

Also thinking of having them rebuild my La Petit with the hobo rda. Google that baby. It's like the pocket rocket of vaping. It's so tiny.

I haven't vaped in a few weeks. I have all 0mg juices and really want to get some 3mg back in my life. The 0mg is just meh...but I have a ton....I mean...probably about 30 juices (thanks drip club) all of 0 so I should probably get them gone.

I just haven't rebuilt my junk and it needs to be done. I also need to charge all 6 of my batteries...dammit now I want to vape and can't.

You can send me some. I'll take them off your hands

Welp I got my order of some new juices. The 0mg wasn't cutting nic cravings and I want to not go back to cigs...even socially. So I got some 3mg from Mt Baker Vapor (Prime's recommendation). I did 2 hot water steeps thus far, but really wanted to try the root beer float I got so I filled up my RTA (Bellus from UD) and it's pretty good. I did an 80/20 vg/pg with 2 extra shots. Will probably use up this tank while the rest continues to steep. Will def buy again.

The new RTA isn't bad at all, but the drip tip is not my favorite compared to my Royal Hunter tip which is a giant bore hole. The deck is a bit harder to build on since it's a 2 post design and a little cramped. I ran 2 coils @ 6 wraps and it's sitting at .2ohms. Great flavor and vapor so far on 43.5w couldn't be happier. A couple more builds should help me dial it in.

I need a new battery. Recommendations? I've got an Aspire subohm atty, but nothing with enough ass to push it. And my Nautilus is wearing out.

If you like attys try the tfv4 smok tank. I love it. It's a quad coil, tricoil and a rba all in one. Top fill so no need to take apart the tank to fill it. As far as batteries, what are you currently running for a mod? Are you using a box or mech?

Ahhhh gotcha. Depends on what you want to spend really. The tfv4 coils need a higher wattage between 45 & 140 I believe. I run them at 88.5 on a snow wolf 200w. But like I said depends on what you want to spend. Do you prefer the box like mods where you can control the watts, temp etc or the mech mods where you can just drop a 18650 battery in it and call it a day? I know people will give you tons of **** for running an attys on a mech mod because of the connection. And the "omg it's going blow up in your face" all thanks to the news lol.

More than likely a box since I have absolutely no plans on running an RDA. I will always have a tank and replaceable attys are way too convenient.

My RTA is the best of both worlds. I build my own coils and wick them so I can not only rewick when I don't want flavor ghosting, but can also save the cash on the 20$ for 5 packs of coils. 20$ buys me kanthal for a year.

As for batteries - stay away from most of the crap they sell in vape stores and online vape shops. Stick with a good brand (Sony/Samsung). There are too many bad "awesome" batteries on the market (looking at you efest).

Redditor Mooch315 does battery testing on all the hyped up batteries and many of them are trash and don't actually output their advertised ratings.

As for box mods, kanger I started with isn't bad. I went with the Sigelei 150 due to part price (got it for 70) and the ability to run anything I wanted on it.

Bought a Kanger TopBox kit. 75w max, single 18650, comes with a tank and will accept the pre-built attys but comes with an RBA that fits in the tank. Don't know if I'll ever use that, but it was a pretty good deal.

The mod looks the same as the kanger mini subox - is it? If so, it's a good mod, only thing is to make sure you have some spare 18650s with the way you vape :D

Also I picked up some Cuttwood Boss Reserve and Sugar Drizzle because they were on sale for buy 1 get 1 half off at my local store - sugar drizzle is pretty much my new favorite flavor...tastes like horchata or snickerdoodles...

Yeah. It's essentially the same but has a slightly higher output. Picked up some legit Sony batteries and will always have a spare. Heh.
