What did you do today that is vape related?

[Just Frank]

I missed the Pico 21700. Would have ordered one of those for sure. Maybe they still have some. I saw the Berserker and had one in my cart several different times, but decided against - I'm just not in the mood for MTL that often, and already have one Berserker that same style. I do like it a lot though, it's the best tight-draw MTL tank I have. If you haven't built one before, go easy on the cotton. Thin the tails out.

Figured I get another incase pods become scarce. I've used one before. My only complaints are the top cap can be slippery, and the oring under the top cap gets torn to bits for whatever reason. Berserker mini on a Pico is smaller than some of the newer "pod systems" coming out. Those just keep getting bigger and bigger.

@pizzadave80 reviewed one recently. He said, "I'm just going to call this an AIO." He got it right. If it uses an 18650 it shouldn't be called a pod system lol.

Last year, I think it was, I got an Innokin Smartbox from @Countrypami in the Hardware thread. I use the Berserker on that a lot, and as you said, it really IS smaller than some pods, but the Smartbox is also considerably smaller than a 21700 Pico. I've also used it on a 75W regular Pico resin.

Speaking of pods with 18650s, I've meant to ask if anyone has noticed the Mechlyfe Ratel. Comes with an RBA and uses an 18650, which I thought was a great idea, but maybe it's more of an AIO than a pod system, really. It's sustainable, at least. The down side though is the cost, which is about $60 and up right now.

That's the one Dave reviewed. I agree, they gotta lower those numbers. It's a device that uses proprietary pod deals. You can get a way smaller setup for a lot less money, with the option of using different atties.

Thanks for the heads up but there is no picture to see what it looks like? Since I got 5 glass tanks from Fast Tech I put Vaping Watch band on my tank and haven't broken one~!

Ordered another 240ml of nic and 500ml of VG from LNW this morning. Paranoia set in and I had to spend money. I hadn't even thought about it, ashamed to admit, but I have a daughter who vapes, who relies on bought juice and factory coils.

[vuJim]

Hit a few of the local vape stores. Was mainly seeing what they tended to stock in the way of coils. Part of my "What tank to buy next?" process. Question ended-up answered when I was tendered a deal I could not pass up on a Falcon King.

 

[MyMagicMist]

One thing, before they had discovered sub ohm, those plus ohm coils (sans cotton/metal only) used to last a really long time!

I still like making simple Kanthal wrapped around 3 mm coils. Do not use 1.00 ohm, or more coils though. I could likely get a decent build to last six months if not for an urging of changing every so often.

As long as I can nudge people and ask annoying questions from people, I’ll feel better about it.

I wondered what my witch called the swinging rolling pin. *chuckles* Now, I know, eh? Tell ya, she got one of oak that hits as hard as her marble one. Whew, unfortunately my thick skull doesn't dent those.

Well, thanks to the people here, I have been getting ready for this for over a year. I can go a long time without buying a thing if I have to. The one remaining thing on my to-do list is to stock up on the flavors that are required to mix my pink bubblegum. It's the closest thing I have to an ADV. I think I'll do that now.

 

[MyMagicMist]

pink bubblegum

Not tried that. Does it taste like Hubba Bubba? Also, I curse myself for making such a long chain in starting my blanket project. I'm not even stitched a third of the way back yet. Been making a "bumpy" row. Wife says she'll show me how to make stitches, ad them back in where needed. Thinking I need a big old carpet safety pin for starting and stopping.

 

[nadalama]

It tastes like Dubble Bubble to me. Remember that stuff, in the blue/red/yellow wrapper?

It's a strong flavor the way I mix it. Bet you'd be able to taste it.

Well I just got home from the grocery store and all the way home, all I did was fume and rant. Boyfriend might be tired of me talking about it, but he seems patient and exerts his own commentary, so maybe not. He's even prepared to change how he vapes so he can start building his own coils.

For all we know, they'll come back next week and tell us how wrong they were, give vaping a full pardon and tell us to carry on. HA! No, they won't.

PEOPLE. Become self sufficient. The research for how you vape today has already been done. There really are no excuses. You need to do it. If you're new, then ask questions. The information is already here, so get to it.

And I mailed my SASE to @TygerTyger and @VaporJoe.

I do recall that stuff, it was yummier than Bazooka Joe's but always started out hard from the corn starch used to bind it for distribution. Of course, Bazooka Joe's did too.

I'll have to pm you and ask please if I might get a 10 ml sampler from you? If I like it I'll need to go nab some flavorings and mix it up.

Other than making my first DIY juices, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. Since I’ve received the Asmodus Luna and Wotofo Elder Dragon I’ve vaper nothing else. I’ve never been completely satisfied with any setup. I’ve had several I’d thought that “this is it” only to start vaping other things as much or more than “the one” setup. Many of you know that I’m an ashamed dual user. I had not been able to completely kick the bad things. With this new setup I’ve even had only a couple cigs and haven’t even thought about it. I want to get to where I’ like many others and only have a few setups and a few DIY juices. With all this in mind I’m about to have a fire sale of most of my gear I’m still going to buy the SQ 217 next week but after I sell most everything else I’m going to buy two more Luna’s and 2 more Elder Dragon RDAs. I’ll be left with 3 Luna ED setups, the SQ 217 squonk, and 5 of my favorite tube mechs. After that any money will go to coils and juice supplies. I just hope I don’t offend some of the people here I really respect and from whom I’ve very recently bought stuff. Some of it is really great gear just not for me. Sorry for the long post. As I’ve said I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. It doesn’t happen often.

Really excellent post, Don. I’ve been thinking that instead of just buying stuff in reaction to the bans, it would be better to figure out which rigs I’ve got that I really enjoy. I just switched around a tank to a different mod, and it’s way better. If I’d kept it the same, I prolly would’ve gone out and bought a different tank or mod.
Hope your juice comes out well.

I finally put together a kick ass MTL nic salt setup, with a Naut Mini and a Nunchaku SS mod. It vapes really well, and I’m finally enjoying nic salts. I’ve got some coming this week, so this was just in time!

I actually wanted to see how long I can go without vaping so I left home with No Gear. Surprised myself when I got back home I didn't have a MOD with me. I have no intention of stopping and I guess I am pretty lucky that my most vaped flavor is tobacco. If they do away with Menthol which I don't vape I still have my Naturally Extracted Mint. You could call that really overkill DIY but next is NET's if necessary.

Vape On and ADVOCATE~!

I was thinking that I’m lucky too since I like tabac flavors and NETs. Not into menthol. I think I smoked Salem in college because I thought menthol was healthier!

Me too. I'm going to be cleaning a lot of stuff and posting for sale either tomorrow or Monday. I guess I've finally getting tired of buying shit just because "it's something you gotta have". For example, Steam Crave products are very nice. They are well built and they have that "cool" factor, but for me, I don't like the way the vape. Except for the Glas RDA. I can't get the airflow right. No matter what they are too airy for me.SO all of my Steam Crave (except for the Glas RDA) will be sold. I recently got a really, really nice mech squonker. It's beautiful and is built really well, but it's just now working for me. I'm tired of having shit laying around that I don't use. SO I keep 3 Lunas, 6 tubes, and one regulated because the Glas fit on it.

 

[MyMagicMist]

I've finally getting tired of buying shit just because "it's something you gotta have".

Often, marketing goes well off the rails. Reminds me of the Zen master visiting New York city for the first time. He stopped at a street peddling hot dog stand and handed the seller a $50 bill. "I'll take one of your hot dogs with everything." The guy gave him a hot dog.

He ate the hot dog and then approached the seller again. "Where is my change?"

The seller looked him over a few seconds. "Zen master you are that hasn't realized, change comes from within."

Good seeing you find your change.

I'm tired of having shit laying around that I don't use.

A dirt poor man once won a highly generous sum of money in a lottery. Reporters all abuzz over his winning came to watch what the man did. He collected his winnings and put a portion in the bank, took another portion and secreted it away in his home.

"You are not going buy the mansion with twenty bedrooms at the end of your street," a more forward reporter asked him.

"No, I have a bed and bedroom here in my home. I can only sleep in one bed. Could not imagine having to need to sleep in twenty beds if I bought such a house," the man replied.

A lot of us understand even if we might not say we do. Even not having much here, I still have plenty which at times goes unused.

 

[DonBaldy]

No zen master, and trust me I'm not knocking anyone who decides to have a large collection, I'm just at a point where I'm deciding what I really need. Maybe DIY my own juice strangely was the catalyst for this line of thinking.

But honestly how many of us would have all the new cool stuff if it wasn't for Vu. When I first gave up cigs 4 years ago just the other day I had an istick 50 and Atlantis v2 subohm tank. I could probably get along with just a few items myself. But the friendship and being around people that like to spend as much as I do is great. Lol.

That's where I'm at.

I've got a couple new tanks, and older one that's quite serviceable. I'll keep one or two RTAs and the stuff to build. I've a couple mods. I may acquire one more tank--which'll be one of something I already have, but then I'm callin' it quits on hardware.

I understand and appreciate the attraction of Getting New Stuff, but I ain't goin' down that road again.

I meant non RTA coils. But I’m sure wire coils are way cheaper than regular coils. I’d get them from people here definitely, until I’m ready to make my own.

The only caution I have about only having a few tanks, or mods, is threading. Threading on one thing, or another, can wear out. My boyfriend is one of those that can use the same piece of gear forever. Well he's using the same thing for the last several years. The base of his tank finally gave out. I actually had one as a back up, from when I used the same tank (5 years ago). I HAPPENED to run into some in a shop's clearance section, picked up some more for him, since he has 3 of the same tank.

Haven't done it yet, but about to, so I hope it counts. Getting ready to strength test, then taste test my recent bottle of nic, left enough out to mix a batch when it arrived.

My post yesterday outlined my plan to sell most everything and purchase 2 more Lunas and 2 more Elder Dragons. That puts me at 3 Luna setups. Well, a little bit ago I was searching for the best price for the Lunas. Surprisingly it was on https://www.asmodus.com/ . Direct for them the horses mouth. They have them discounted to 39.99 and on top of that they are having a fall sale with the code Fall30 to an additional 30% off site wide and free shipping. That make the cost of a single Luna $28.00 Yes! That's right. $28.00. SO yeah I bought my 2. Also found knives made of the same stab wood and Damascus steel for $20.97 with the same code. 2 Lunas and 2 stab wood knives (one for my daughter) for grand total of $97.00. Even my wife couldn't say no.

I love it when a plan comes together. Bonus points if you know where that comes from.
