Let's keep the Smok RPM 25w Alive! ✌

I hear you Englishmick.
And thanks a lot for the share.

And what made you decide to shift to building decks if I may ask?
There's of course pros & cons to both (pods and tanks), so just curious about it.
Well, for a start 12 years ago pods like today's weren't around. There were things we called cigalikes which looked like cigarettes and were entirely worthless vapes.

I did get some Nautilus tanks that used prebuilt heads and they were OK vapes, but buying heads was an expensive way to go. Plus I had just quit smoking and the process of figuring out how to make your own coils and wicks, then talking about them endlessly with other folks on ECF, was part of the therapy for me.

Way back I sort of did that with Pro Tanks. I was kind of obsessive when I first started vaping. Wrapped a lot of coils. Maybe around 150 of them at one time, thought I could set myself up with a lifetime supply. Then I kept a few coil heads ready to install so when a head needed replacing it was quick and easy. I enjoyed that stuff at the time. But I stopped using Pro Tanks 10 years ago and all those coils and heads sat in a box for years until I gave away my Pro Tank stuff.

Now I use mostly KFL's. Like you said it gets easy with practice. I can replace the coil and wick in a KFL pretty fast so it just isn't worth the effort of keeping a supply of coils or decks ready to go.

I don't know how it is for you, but do you (or anyone else here) have a similar system of having a few extra decks already pre-built/wicked for a smoother transition when your coils get gunky?
