Allow me to intoduce myself

[Drunken Moose]

I'm not big on posting in forums, with the exception of a distilling forum I'm part of. That said, I'm a hobby stiller of quality spirits, mainly whiskey and rum.

42 years old, smoked since I was 14, and a pack a day for over 20 years. Picked up an evic VT with ego one mega 2 months ago, and now down to a couple smokes a day, working on dropping those. Soon found myself buying the Zephyrus and love it. Also bought a sigelei 75w TC for lighter pockets, but still like the battery life of my evic vt. Got my first RBA today, petri by dot mod. Built a 6 wrap coil with 26 gauge kanthal on 2mm bit, worked out to 0.48 ohm. Only second coil I've built and keeping simple while I learn. The flavor from a dripper I amazing! Thinking of learning a bit more on coil building and batteries before going to a mech mod, but for now I'm happy with my current boxes and less smoking analogs (btw, started with 18mg now down to 6mg and sometimes a 3mg) .

Favorite juice is "Instant Karma" by Talion, and a key lime pie I just got. The occasional mint or berry is nice. Nothing too sweet though.

Happy to meet you all!

Hey welcome! Mech mods aren't really a step up so i wouldn't rush into it. You can fine tune voltage and temp with a regulated mod. It's good to have for a backup it you only have one regulated mod, but I think you're OK lol.. I jumped right into rebuilding and never looked back. It's saved me quite a few bucks on coils, and I can build to my preference. So yeah anyways, hi!

Welcome to the forum. The coil building is the fun part for me, I just put together a dual 8wraps of 22ga k1 in my tobeco jam atty it comes in at the limit of my ipv mini 70 at .2 ohms, I definitely need a mech mod to go lower but soon very soon

 

[Ou2mame]

If you want to go lower, just get a dual battery mod. You can go down to 0.05 with a tesla

Welcome to the forum!
Sounds like you're off to a really good start!

........ Although I'm not sure how I feel about a drunk moose building coils and playing with mech mods.....

Thanks for all the welcomes! Glad to see this is an active forum.

The DYI juices sound interesting. Much like my other hobby of distilling, It's about finding something tailored to your taste. Maybe when I get a little more free time I can chase this area.

Thanks again!

Hello, welcome & well done @Drunken Moose

Welcome @Drunken Moose to ECF sounds like your set up quite well to start, if you like to tinker you will like building coils, its one of my fav parts, seeing what kind of crazy coil can fit in what RDA and so on lol, and they arent realy that hard to do once you get into it, as for mechs i do suggest doing your home work befor taking that route, mechs are nice they are prety much all i use aside from my sig 150, and you dont allways have to go super sub ohm, prety much any high wattage regulated mod will do anything you need it to, even on a 1 ohm coil. Happy Vaping!
