    My mod never leaves my hand

    I have kind of gone through a process: When I began vaping, I pretty much only vaped where I would have smoked. As I became more accustomed to vaping ion many places that I could never have smoked, I really became a "chain vaper" As I became used to vaping in a greater variety of places, I...

    kanger protank mini 2

    With pretty much all Pro Tanks, I always pop the stem off the coil first and remove one of the 2 "flavor wicks" that lie on top of the coil. Especially with ejuice blends above 50/50 PG to VG, the extra wick inhibits smooth wicking to the coil which can result in a burnt hit. The added flavor...

    Wife mod

    Haahaahaa RaceGun59...I too avoid looking into my wife's purse...madness lies in that direction! :) At the local vape shops in my area, I am surprised at the high number of women sporting the MVP 2. For whatever reason, it does seem popular amongst female vapers.

    Wife mod

    If your wife is not concerned with a variable voltage device, then I recommend the Kanger Evod kit. Low price, the 2 650mah batteries are stylish and color coordinated with the included evod clearos, and creat a sleek, finished appearance. I mention the Evod, because the batteries are regulated...

    Kanger Mini Protank 3

    Now, this is not in regards to the mini per se, but I have both Pro Tank 2s and the Aero tank with the kanger dual coils. Frankly, in terms of vaping, I find little difference in "vapability" between the single vs dual coils (save the air control feature of the Aero) My sole dislike of the...

    whats so great about provari?

    I must say that I always love the Provari pro and con threads...better than the Hatfields & McCoys! ;) From a solely factual point: Pro: Provaris are built better than pretty much any other tube mod on the market. I do admire their construction. For many, that is reason enough to buy one and...

    Looking for a good mini mod

    Its all a matter of what you are really looking for. Amongst eGo style batts, I have had nothing but good performance from the Kanger Evod batts, both the regulated 3.7 volt and variable voltage models. The Innokin iTaste 3.0, IMHO, although an eGo variant, is much more with its ability to...

    I think dripping has ruined vaping for me.

    Although I can vape in my office, clouds of vapor won't do at all. So at work, I stick with either an eGo T type set up, or at the most, the iTaste 3.0 vv with a pro tank mini. For me, its all a matter of balance. At home or relaxing, I pull out the VTR and RBA...at work, I vape what will be...

    Mods newbie questions re: the MVP2 and Clearomizers

    Start easy, no need to get too esoteric about vaping. IMHO there is nothing wrong with the iClear 30 tank. Yes, there are tanks that I prefer, but they are perfectly adequate. Clearomizers should be cleaned after a couple tanks or so...and certainly if you are going to try a different flavor...

    Mech Mod advantages?

    Its all relative to what you are looking for. I have coiled sub ohm, and oh man...clouds of vapor is an understatement! However, I am more flavor-driven than huge amounts of vapor, so sub-ohming really brings little to the table in that arena, although some ejuice flavors do better than others...

    Mod clones... how do you feel

    IMHO, mech clones are fine as long as you pay attention to what you are actually buying. EH Pro for example seems to make very high quality clones, but as with anything else, perform due diligence before buying.

    Designer Ecigs?

    Meh, not for me, however there always is a market for those obsessed by conspicuous consumption.

    Picked up an eVic at lunch time...

    I think that the eVic is a perfectly fine choice among regulated tube mods. As it comes with battery and can be charged via USB, it is reasonably cost effective since after adding a charger and battery to a lower-cost tube mod, the price differential decreases dramatically. However, keep in...

    18500 Battery with eVic?

    Stylite, personally I would NOT recommend the battery that you linked to. That is a generic no-name battery, and in fact, it is more likely than not that the mah rating is inflated...it almost invariably is on those knock-off/generic batts. I have a no name 18650 battery rated at...

    Definitive Answer for eVic + RBAs (RSST?)

    I have the Smok RSST as well as the eVic. While the eVic is not the primary mod that I use my RSST with, it certainly works fine as long as I coil it above 1.5 ohms. The RSST is indeed a very easy/forgiving RBA to start with, but 2 caveats: 1. I highly recommend drilling out the air hole to...

    There doesn't seem to be a lot of love for the 808

    FIrst off: If it works for you...then it works, and is good! I don't find anything wrong with the 808D1 format save for its limitation as far as clearos/tanks, and in fact to this day enjoy my Halo Triton for easy on-the-go vaping. I also often take a mini eGo 350mah battery with an evod...

    local ecig store prices

    A lot of it is based on what kind of supplier(s) they are associated with. At my local vape store, some brands of what they carry are surprisingly close to what I can get on-line, while other brands are right at "MSRP" prices. I do a mix of on-line and local B&M purchases, despite that I am...

    Need to lay off even the 6mg Nicotine with mods...

    Although I like a certain amount of vapor to be sure, I vape more for flavor than "clouds of vapor"...despite having mods & RBAs that can certainly create a small fog bank! Folks are all over the map with this, but if one's desire is to get rid of nicotine altogether, what harm in that? I have...

    Planning on quitting vaping after you have quit the 'real smokes'?

    Personally? I never really wanted to quit smoking...aside of the health risks...so really have no intention/desire to quit vaping. I LIKE the "activity" of smoking, the hand/mouth interaction, the satisfaction of inhaling, etc. But I knew that smoking had a number of nasty side-effects that I...

    Smoktech Sid or JoyeTech Evic?? That is the Question...

    I've had the SID since June, and it is a perfectly fine tube mod. Because the body is aluminum (same as the eVic) some folks comnplain that it is "flimsy" due to its light weight. I find that fairly meaningless however in actual terms of durability...simply a matter of some preferring a more...
