That is very cool! There were only 5 smokers between my 2 sisters & 8 kids. One kid quit with vaping & then quit vaping. Three of us are active vapers. One sister tried vaping, but only for situations where she couldn't smoke, h then she quit vaping at all & just smokes. She doesn't even smoke a pad. She doesn't like sweet liquids & only used a random b&m tobacco juice. Shes one of the reasons I keep trying to find a tobacco she might like. Hard, because I still don't like tobaccos.
Has she tried menthol or extreme ice? I smoked menthol cigs so when I quit I switched to extreme ice. I dont vape anything else and if I tried any other flavors it wouldnt be sweets. I tried creme de menthe once and it wasnt bad.

Got my squonker from FT today. It's a Coppervape in solid brass...the thing is a TANK. They also make them in aluminum, which would be quite a bit lighter. Nice machining job, good finish on all parts, switch is nice and smooth. $35.00 for brass, I think the aluminum model is $29.

Coppervape also has a facebook page you can order from, and they sell the mod with a topper (not the one pictured). I looked at the FB page but couldn't figure out how to order, so I used FT.

That link is for the brass mod and topper kit. The topper is getting fairly good reviews for a cheap BF. You can buy just the brass mod if you like.

Gotta go do a seek, see and hopefully secure mission.

Thanx, Bo!

Sheesh I need to make 400ml of juice been sluffin off and nearly out of some of my favorites. Shouldn't take too long 2 are standalones and 2 are a mix of 3 flavors each. The hardest part will be finding the right flavorings since I haven't done my sorting yet that and I'm not sure how much nic I have left out of the freezer all I need is 12ml.

She doesn't smoke menthols. I need a really low vapor blend for her. I have some samples I ordered recently. I have to get past my dislike of tobaccos to give it a go.

When i first quit i tried tobacco flavors but they were all knarly tasting. To me they didnt smell like a cig but like an ashtray full of butts. Which might turn her off.

I just thought since she doesnt want sweets, if she likes the menthol or evn mint flavor in other things she might try that.

I think she just walked into a random b&m & asked for a tobacco juice. No telling what it tasted like. She smokes VS Ultra Lights. I grabbed a hit off of one of hers several months ago & it was just nasty. Plus there was virtually no smoke to exhale! I was like "Where's my flavor? Where's my vapor?". Having a hard time trying to make something that tastes like that! I kinda wonder if the juice she was getting didn't have too strong a flavor & not enough nic. I'll just keep thinking on it.

    Yep, the brass is heavy. The aluminum is a very nice lightweight mod. I have one brass, and as of today, 3 aluminum. I think they are very good mech squonkers for the price.

    Thanks!

    Coming up to one year vaping for me after 30 years of a pack a day.

    I am using mostly mechanical mods and Provaris and have way too many mods and tanks. Also almost 100% DIY for juice.

    Welcome to the porch. Seems your def on the right track coming up on a year. Nothing wrong w/ mechs and Provari's. That's basically all we (wife and I) have in our collection.
