SMOK Rigel Kit - The Hynerian Empire would be pleased...

Dominar Rygel XVI of the Hynerian Empi...what? It's not named after him?! Awwwwwwwww :( Well, in any case, the SMOK Rigel Kit is a new dual-battery mod kit from SMOK which takes on aspects of kits from the "wedge" mods from Wismec, but this one is a lot thinner than those older mods.

Do you think plastic mods are High End?

There's an upward trend in plastic mod manufacturing, with mods like the Delro selling for high end prices, and many 3D printed mods and parts being sold direct vs. being just prototypes.

3D prints are can be made from some industrial strength nylons these days. And delrin is a tough plastic that in some ways is akin to metal - it often is machined.

The market will bear what it will bear, but what do you think? Can plastic be High End, and if so, what makes it so?

Query ; suggestions for a couple new reliable box mods.

Seven years & running, my old Protovapor 20w & Vapor shark mini still work well.
Both of these are out of production, sadly.
Bought a Vaporesso Armour pro & a Eleaf Invoke to have in rotation as everyday gadgets.
Amour pro still works, not so much the Eleaf ..
Thing is ; neither of the 2 more recent mods worked as well as the older ones, both the Proto vapor & the shark produce thicker flavor at identical wattages, assume that they just handle power more efficiently ? DNA chips & likely heavier wire gages in both of those.
So .. looking for recommendations from the collective for one or 2 more 'everyday' devices.
Don't need lots of power or temp control, using Dvarw's @ 12-13 ish watts mostly.
Not been paying much attention to what's available these days, so hence the inquiry from those who know.
Reliability beyond a year or 3 & efficient power at comparatively low wattages are the attributes I'm seeking, not price sensitive if a device meets criteria.

Thanks in advance for any wisdom on the subject !!

Parameters

Battery Capacity: 550mAh

Eliquid: 3.2ml*2

Resistance: 1.8ohm

Charge: Micro USB​

Many people worry about the battery power of disposable pod. When the battery is low, the taste of e-juice cannot be used well. In order to solve this problem, we propose a design that can be recharged at any time to keep the battery full, to keep the pod running normally, and to maximize its effectiveness.

In order to improve the oil spill and keep the flavor condition, we finally decided to adopt the disposable pod. There are six flavors. Lemon Sode, Summer Mix, Blueberry, Dr.Pepsi, Cool Grape, and Tcopical Fruits. The nicotine content is 50mg and the volume is 3.2ml. The taste is as good as ever, and the palate is rich and silky. This is one of our best guarantees. A Plug has 1600puffs, and it lasts about 3-5 days. Not bad, huh?

VLADDIN_X_FLAVOR.jpg

Our reviewers have tested this product and they are unanimous in their approval. It's very rich and lasts as long as a pineapple stick or longer. In addition, the air limit is perfect and the price is reasonable for only 18.99. Although the testers had reviewed a number of e-cigarette products, their reviews of VlAddin X were mostly satisfying and enjoyable. And it's a small one that fits perfectly in your pocket and for everyday use. Is a very cost-effective and high-performance disposable pod. So we are very confident about this product.

Will Trade a Vandy Vape Iconic RDA for an OBS Engine RTA

Didn't do my homework before buying the Iconic. It's intended for squonking. When used for dripping, the juice can leak out of the air ports. Color: Shiny gold. All original parts are still in the case.
Iconic RDA | VANDY VAPE® Full Steam Ahead

Will trade for an Engine, any color.

If you have an Engine that you'd like to sell outright, I'm interested.

Steamcrave Aromamizer Supreme V3 - The Supreme gets Ragnarified...

The Steamcrave Aromamiser Supreme V3 is the latest in the main tank series of the Aromamizer from Steam Crave. The Aromamizer is split into two lines, the standard, and the Supreme, however, for a while now the Supreme has been lagging behind the non Aromamizer tanks (Titan and Ragnar) when it comes to the tech...not any more though.

Basic newbie questions

Folks, I apologize for the newbie questions but trust me, I've spent a lot of time reading and still have some confusion - partly because I find contradictory information everywhere. I hate when people come on forums asking questions before doing their research but I've tried.

While I've been vaping for over a year, it's been with a Juul. (3rd party pods) My flavored pod horde is about to be exhausted so here I am.

What I'm looking for is something comparable to what my Juul with 3% pods gave me - smoothness (I do NOT want a harsh throat feel like many seem to be after), availability of nice flavors, no need for a lot of nicotine, no need for 'clouds'. I was using the 3% not really because of the lower nicotine but because it wasn't as harsh as the 5-6% pods.

I guess my question is what type juice and coil resistance should I be looking for? I purchased a Smok NFix and like the device but I seem to be getting a tad bit of juice in my mouth regardless of what wattage I set it to. (I've tried multiple .8 Ohm coils and 3mg juice labeled for "subohm" use) I also seem to be getting a lot more nicotine than I'm used to.

I've also tried a Novo 2 and occasionally get that juice in my mouth but not nearly as often. I also seem to be getting a lot more nicotine than I'm used to.

Obviously I'm doing something wrong.

Another thing I'm confused about is the wide range of nicotine strengths - 3% on up to 55+%? I must be missing something because the 3% seems to be killing me, again I must be doing something wrong.

Suggestions for what I should be looking at to find something comparable to the 3% Juul?

Thanks

Innokin Ares-2 LE Review

Hello,

Today I have a tank that is actually not different vaping wise from the Ares-2 the Ares-2 LE (Limited Edition). I did a full review on the Ares-2 a while ago back in June: Ares 2 review







This review is more like a 'design review'. Innokin decided to make some changes to the Ares-2, probably after listening to the community. If you want to know more in-depth on the Ares-2 itself, please refer to the earlier mentioned review.

Some information from the Innokin Website:













Packaging:



Review:

So, what is different? Only the looks really, it vapes the same and the build deck is exactly the same as on the Ares-2. One more important change is that they included a torx screwdriver in the LE kit, which comes in handy for replacing the fill-port rubber.

Texture/finish, paint job, drip-tip, O-ring colors and branding is what has changed. And I straight away can say the LE edition looks much better.

If it is about the texture, they removed the carved in design, they kept it smooth and the paint went from shining to matte with a sandblasted finish. It still grips very well and unscrewing the base is no issue at all. Good improvements.







The drip-tip looks and feels much better, it is made from metal and the top finish out of higher-grade plastic. It reminds me a lot of the Vandy Vape Berserker drip-tip. It has the child lock system still implemented which I like.

The dark version has black O-rings and the silver (Flint) has white O-rings. On the black version it looks so much better compared to the regular Ares-2, especially with the dark tinted glass, beauty!





For me the most important change, something I complained about a bit in the Ares-2 review, is the branding on the outside of the bell(chamber). Before it was full of Platform Series and the names of Phil and Dimitri. Now it simply says Ares-2 on one side and LE on the other side. Design wise a massive improvement in my opinion.

Overall all changes are well received by me. The tanks look much more high-end than the original Ares-2.

As mentioned, it vapes very well, flavor wise it is not the best RTA out there. After several months of use I can say that the flavor depends a lot on the flavor profile. The flavor on cream/desert juices is really good, for fruit flavors it is a bit dull, but you still can pick up the notes.





I did find a way to improve the overall flavor performance, 8 wrap 27g kanthal very slightly spaced, used Phils build tool for that. Once placed on the deck, push down the centre of the coil almost touching the inner airflow. It also works much better with Clapton mtl-coils. For me best flavor is with the inner airflow slot fully open.



Conclusion:

All changed they made on the Ares-2 LE are just very welcomed changes, kind of a pity the original Ares-2 was not released straight away as the LE version. It is a fantastic looking RTA now.

It is an easy RTA with its build deck and the vape from it is pleasant. Flavor wise it is not the best RTA out there, but it does the job well and the looks an ease in use for me make up for the flavor part.

Thank you for reading, let me know if any questions,
