Hello and welcome back for today's review of the Blaze Solo RTA from Thunderhead Creations and Mike Vapes. The Blaze Solo as the names implies is the single coil version of the original dual coil Blaze RTA. I have reviewed the original and it still is used in my personal rotation of RTA's so I was pretty excited to get my hands on the single coil version and see if it's as great as the duel coil version. I'll give you my findings on how well the Blaze Solo performs after some information from it manufacturer.

Hiya fellow vaperinos,time for another review.

Today i will be reviewing the Geekvape Z200 that was sent to me by my friends over at Sourcemore for the purposes of this review.

Not wanting to deviate from my usual review procedure i will provide you folks some nice images to start with just so you can get a quick grasp of the product that i am reviewing today.

Everything is neatly tucked away and packaged properly,these are the contents in the box:

1 x Geekvape Z (Zeus) Subohm 2021 Tank (5.5ml)
2 x Geekvape Z Series Coil (Pre-installed:Z0.15 XM: 0.15Ω 70-85W,Spare coil: Z0.4: 0.4Ω 50-60W)
1 x Spare Glass Tube(5.5ml)
1 x USB Cable(Micro-USB)
1 x Coil Tool
1 x Spare Parts Pack

Specs:

Dimension: 51.50*30*141.33mm
Working Mode: POWER, SMART, TC-SS, TC-TCR, VPC, BYPASS
Output Power: 5W~200W
Battery Specification: Dual External 18650 battery
Tank Capacity: 5.5ml
Display Screen: 2.4-inch full screen
Charging Port: Micro USb
Operating Temperature: 0℃～45℃


First thing i do is reach for the mod since the tank i am already well familiarized with,not a fan of blue which is the color i got but gotta say that it does look good.
I get a nice solid grip,squeeze the mod firmly a couple of times just to test the ruggedness of it and it feels pretty solid,no clicks,clacks,squeaks,clickity clacks or anything of that sort.
Keep in mind this is not a IP-rated mod so it will take less abuse when compared to an Aegis model.

First thing that draws my attention is the big screen,we talking about a 2.4-inch full screen which covers most of the side of the mod.
For us older folks that need glasses for the ''fine print'' this does seem like a good feature to have..

The charging port is on top and right by the 510 connector,its sealed pretty good with a rubber so if you're using it with this tank (top airflow) there is zero chance of you getting any e-liquid in it.
Charging thou is usb-b not usb-c which to me really makes no difference,if you using a dual battery mod you should be charging your mod on a proper battery charger,that is just the way it is.

Vaping time:

Ok so time to give this kit a try,pop in 2x18650 batteries and let's fire it up.
Battery door is spring loaded and had no trouble opening it and closing it,once closed it was well adjusted and provided a snug fit.

The freaking screen is huge so no need for glasses to get a quick read of all the info it displays.
The screen shows everything and i mean EVERYTHING,battery level up top,mode of the mod right above the number of the power you using at the moment which is huge takes like 1/3rd of the screen.

Below that you have amp,ohms and voltage on the right side,on the left you have puff counter with a cute circle that illuminates when you puff showing your ''puffing'' time.
Puff counter only goes up to 9999 but the way its displayed kinda feels wrong,let me explain:
At the moment i have 727 puffs so normally it would display 0727 but not in this case,the puff counter is inside the circle that shows the puff duration so it looks like this:

07
27

Not a con perse but it just looks weird,apart from that the UI is clean and slick and looks good.
Menu is pretty easy to operate so let me give you a give ''how to'' of the operation of this device:

-Five clicks to turn the device on and off.
-Three clicks of the fire button to enter the menu.
-Up and down buttons together to lock the device but still draw the device at the set wattage, press again to unlock.
-There is no lock switch like you have on the Aegis models but you can also lock the fire button.
-To lock the fire button you have to first lock the wattage and then press 3 times the fire button and voila!! fire button is locked,to unlock click again the fire button 3 times.
-Up and fire button to increase the brightness, and down and fire button to decrease.
-To cycle thru all the modes you need to press the fire button 3 times,this will let you choose between Power,Smart (adjusts wattage automatically for the coil you using),TC-SS,TC-TCR and finally BYPASS.
-Press the fire button 3 times then hold + and - button to change the color of the UI,got 3 to choose from (Red,Green,Purple).

Let us talk about that tank,when i quit RTA's this tank was actually the one i used as my main for a long long i mean long time.
Solid tank,top airlflow and simple to take apart from cleaning purposes,top cap easy to screw open so you can refill it and with the bubble glass you got a 5,5ml capacity.

With this kit the tank also comes in the same color which is a good touch,makes the color scheme come together.

After priming the coil and letting it sit for about 10 minutes so it could soak up the sweet nectar of the gods i was ready to give it a try.
I knew what i was going to get when it comes to the tank,used it for a long time so no surprises there,delivered a nice and tasteful vape.

Folks know me and my aversion to high wattage and hot vapes so even thou i was using the 0.15Ω 70-85W coil i stayed in my sweet spot which was 44 watts.
Higher than that just wasn't pleasurable for me,we all different when it comes to vaping and my style is more about a low wattage RDL type of thing.
But with this mod you can go up to 200watts if you ever need to so yeah this mod packs a punch.

Coil wise? well here is the kicker,coils are good not great.
Had better but also had worst,but that is not the problem...problem is with Geekvape's QC that is why i stopped using this tank.
Don't get me wrong the tank is a solid tank but the QC of the coils is just abysmal,used this tank/coils as my main for many months and by that i mean that apart from trying out other devices for reviews this was the ONLY tank i would use on a daily basis.
When it came time to buying coils i would get a pack of 5 and at least one of them was a dud,either i would get an error in the screen or in most cases the coil would burn out in a matter of hours or maybe a day tops.

Quality of the mod is good,same for the tank but if they can't do better QC on the manufacturing of the coils then there is no sense in using the tank.
Mod by itself? yeah go ahead,i am loving mine.
Big ol' screen,dual 18650 and it looks good,what is there not to love.

Mod wise it performed admirable,quick response with the fire button and the nice and huge bright screen was awesome to look at,no need of glasses since the screen is huge.

I know that us ''lefties'' are a small % of the population so devices like these are designed for right handed people which brings up just a little grip about the mod.
I am a thumb user,i need....i want to use my thumb for firing the mod but to use this mod in my left hand AND using my thumb to press the fire button means i have to turn it around and then the screen is facing the palm of my hand.

Not a deal breaker since i know how it is,i am a lefty so there are limitations that come with that so i either use my thumb while looking at the back of the mod or use my finger and that way i can see the screen...using my finger just feels odd,i can do it but i don't like it.

Pros:
-Aesthetic wise it looks pretty cool
-2.4-inch full screen,love that i don't have to squint or put my glasses on to get a read of the info on the screen
-Proper packaging and everything you need is right there in the box
-Mod is not IP Rated but it does feel solid
-Big side fire button,love me one of those
-Solid tank,easy to use
-Coil performance is good,as i said i have had better but i also had worst

Cons:

-Puff counter,looks weird.
Instead of:
07
27
I would prefer to see it like 0727 all in the same line,minor con i know but it bugs me.
-Geekvape's QC on the Z coils,they need to work on that.

Would i recommend this device:

As a kit? probably not,just being honest.
Even thou the tank is good but the QC of the coils is just plain bad.
Mod wise? hell yeah,love the shape,the big screen and its easy to use.
If you looking for a dual battery mod and you like the aesthetics of the Z200 and prefer a simple menu then this is the mod for you.

Well that is it for today folks.

Evening All!

I got to try a small amount of Oatdrips ejuice over the winter, Now the small bottle I had is all gone and it looks like the only sources are Asia (Malaysia primarily). Is there a way to order from other countries? 0% is totally fine. I've looked into remote shoppers but so far no response from the two I queried. Have a great weekend. AD

Hey all, been vaping for 11 years but haven't really been keeping up with the industry for the past 5 years. Looks like the market's changed a lot since then.

1. Is there any such thing as a rebuildable draw-fire MTL pod mod with adjustable air flow (I'm usually at 1mm round air holes in my devices)? I ask because I was pleasantly surprised at how good a stealth vape an unflavored ("Clear") disposable was. Combined with a chest pack, I found it possible to stealth vape in daylight as long as I got my angles down, lol. It would be nice to have a future-proof rebuildable version in that tiny form factor...

2. Tube Mods: Does anyone even make 16-19mm devices anymore? I can see that they make DVARW 16s, Kayfun Mini v3s, and Aspire recently launched the Nautilus Nano. But can't really find any quality tube mods that would match. Maybe my tastes are old school...

3. SBS Mods: Or something like the BF16 but way more space-efficient?

Probably lots of stuff I've missed in my research, so:

TL,DR: What are your favorite stealth vapes for MTL?

Thank you to anyone who responds

Been quite some time since I bought a new mod. I've always been a Kanger fan. I'm using an ancient Stainless Subox Mini-C I think it is. I've had a few of them as I bought a ton of coils and still have quite a few. The mod I'm currently using is quickly starting to fail. The coils I have are round (as opposed to squarish ones I also have). I want to say they're OCC but it's been a long time since I bought them so I'm not sure, I can post a pic if necessary. It really has been a long time so I have no idea what the latest, greatest is today. I do know I would like to purchase a mod that can use the coils I have.

Can anyone recommend a good Kanger or other mod I can purchase that uses these coils? I'm not a high voltage person. I use the 1.5 olm variety.

Thank you and happy vaping everyone.

I'm wondering here. At first I thought that big tobacco companies were going to try and get rid of vapes, but instead it seems like they've turned around embraced a multimillion dollar market of e cigarettes. I feel a little crazy saying what I'm about to say, because I've never liked lobbying in the government. Of course the tobacco industry has only taken interest in e cigs because of the potential of huge financial gains, but that being said, did they actually prevent the vape industry with it's rainbow of flavors from being wiped out? The vape industry itself is a massive money maker, removing it would take away or harm lots of jobs businesses, and revenues. The government tax on e liquid really brought prices up, but they too just want the extra money generated off of these products being sold, so banning them means less money funneled to them too.

Are we safe? For now? Forever? Hopefully they just leave vaping alone like they do with cigarettes and blunts. Not like they're trying to ban berry flavored Cheyenne's. Man those things are nasty but they have their place I guess. Anyways, thoughts? I've been totally out of the loop. Ive seen tons of flavored disposables still covering the shelves of gas stations tho.

He was the buyer, great guy to do business with. Thank you again!

I get to re-experience the quitting sensation from chain smoking. Started vaping cut my cigarette consumption down by half at first, then in just a week or two I don't even want a cigarette. I could chain smoke 4-6 cigarettes in the morning, 2 cigarettes on each of my breaks, 3-4 cigarettes on my lunch break, 4 on the way home and another 7 or more at the end of the day. Also I would straight chain smoke for hours on the weekend. That's a ton of nicotine. Id wanna smoke before 2 o clock break. That feeling is just gone now. One 5ml tank of 3mg juice being only 15mg of nicotine, and the fact I can't even smoke that much juice on my break has completely limited my nicotine consumption to the point of switching entirely to the vape. It works. I remember last time having more energy too. The sweet liquid has also taken away my sugar cravings, but if I'm hungry it triggers my appetite. It helped I already had an awesome rig set up from the first time, but It works. I definitely prefer low mg sub on to those nic salt vapes, I think the nic salts are what made me relapse to smoking again last time because i was consuming way more concentrated nicotine.

Doesn't hurt to throw this out there in hopes that someone may have a XvoStick DNA 40 or 60 (60 preferred ) to part with....

I also am interested in purchasing the Smoant Knight V2 in decent condition, in case one of those may be floating around...

Hey guys,

Lately i got into mechs after leaning ohms law ofc anyway ive just been using the same coils for regulated that i use for mechs...
my mech is a 21700 battery if that matters..
My question is ive been reading alot of back and forth and its making me confused
Alot of people say to only use kanthal or nic80 basic wire for mechs cause exotics have too much mass to work well..
Then i read like i said back and forth that exotic coils work fine if not even better than round as long as you keep the outer G at around 36g outer and up so 32g is too thick etc..
I checked mine are dual fused 26*2 / 36g so since its 36g and my battery being 21700 its not too beefy right?

Or am i doing it wrong and need to use basic round?
I jus want good flavor and clouds
