It just seems redundant to me.
Well... ...whatever. What's up VU? Vaper of 3 years checking in. I started on a vision spinner and a kanger t3 out of financial necessity. I went from 2 packs a day to zero in a week.
I think the hobby aspect of it made the transition much easier. I like to fiddle and tinker with things, so I took to immersing myself in all of the technical aspects and pouring over the studies being done. It fascinated me from the very beginning.
For about a year and a half, I was rebuilding coils and re-wicking them with cheese cloth on that. I loved how much money I saved and how much healthier I felt.
After that, I bumped up to a DNA30 box and a nautilus, which was a bit of a game-changer. Around the two-year mark, a buddy of mine that I had converted to vaping a year before got an RDA/mech setup. After trying it, I knew it was time to ditch the nautilus.
I bought myself a CLT v2 and fell in love with RDA's. Not long after I started fiddling with that, I found myself underwhelmed by the power limitations of the DNA30, so I picked up a mech and started sub-ohming, which has been my setup and style of choice since then.
These days, I'm using a SMPL clone (A-MOD) and either a Mutation X v3 or a Troll (with which I opt to use a chuff top instead of the AFC top with wide-bore drip tip.)
In the Mutation X, 0.22-0.36 ohms is my ADV sweet spot, usually with 24, 26/32 clapton wire, twisted 26, triple-parallel flattened 28, 24/flattened-28 tiger, or parallel 28; all dual coils wrapped around either a 1/16th or 3/32.
The Troll, I find only really shines with hot, high-powered setups, so I tend to go as low as I can go with a VTC: .16 to .2. The build I usually stick on that is a .16-ohm dual-parallel 24g - 7 wraps on a 3/32. That's more of a special treat for when I just want heaps of hot vapor and great flavor. I also like to rock a .16 dual 22.
Honestly though, I'm kind of a build junkie, so there's really no telling what I'm using on any given day.
Lookin forward to chatting with yall. Vaping is pretty big around here, but I don't meet too many people who can match my level of interest in vaping. I have some friends who vape, but most of them don't delve too far into the hobby side of it, so I'm usually the one doing the teaching instead of the learning in those interactions. Hoping to balance that out here.
