    Odd issue ?

    Sounds like the classic Wismec Predator... Mine started doing that and when it did read, the mod started getting hot as if something was shorting out (not the batteries). Getting rid of it was the best thing I did. Might be possible the firing pin is a little shorter and isn't making...

    Thanks YouTube

    *start rant* I'm quite glad I quit doing reviews when I did. Go on today and see 41 videos flagged from "monetized" to "limited to no ads". All vaping videos but nothing else. According to them... "Advertisers avoid placing ads on videos that don't align with their brand. For example, they...

    Which Is Your Favor Squonk BF Vape Box Mods? Why?

    I've only used one squonker and that was the Reo. Was built like a tank and I couldn't break the thing. Once the big YouTube channels started saying it was a "game changer" after being 2-3 years late to it. I quit paying attention to what was coming out for squonkers.

    Picture of Your Setup Part 3!

    Not really sure on the wide release. A local shop got a bunch of them in and had to grab one quickly. I put off on ordering because the silver was bland to me.

    Anyone remember when a "starter kit" was actually for beginners?

    I finally managed to find the eleaf iStick my dad has that he loves at a local shop. The one mod he has is the Coolfire IV but I think at the moment he might be set for a while. This should at least last him through his Key West winter trip.

    After This Much Pound Cake

    I think some of these people would be disgusted by some of the nicoticket i have that still tastes amazing even after a couple years of being in a drawer... :p Quite amazed at how many people brought up the watts and such. There were juices I would vape 5ml of and my fresh cotton was almost...

    Anyone remember when a "starter kit" was actually for beginners?

    That is the beauty of vaping, but I guess most of what I was basing my original post off of was my dads experience, also his friends that I've helped. My dad prefers a DTL vape also. The kit that really sparked the light was an eGrip. I believe I mentioned earlier, he then switched to an iStick...

    Why do you like a mechanical mod ?

    I wanted the option to run different types of coils that a regulated mod would've been better suited for in my opinion.

    Why do you like a mechanical mod ?

    Basically what IMFire said. I don't use mechanical mods anymore, but when I did it was by far the most durable mod I ever had. I could throw it out the window at 55MPH and it would be fine. If it was dirty, take the battery out and put it in the sink. Needed to fix something? 2 minutes at most...

    Shinyatis is a real thing!

    I had sold my Reo. It worked perfectly, was just cosmetically flawed. I just sort of wanted to go back to regulated.

    Shinyatis is a real thing!

    My poor Reo was dropped on the ground, took 20 foot jumps off of a ladder and a lot of other torture. I "try" to be careful (especially with regulated mods) but it gets to a point like "ugh, where did the RDA cap roll to?"

    Shinyatis is a real thing!

    This forum does terrible things to our wallets :lol: Thankfully I fought off shinyatis for a long time. Once I stopped reviewing I saved so much money. I've spent more on my dad than I have on myself. Hopefully this new mod for me lasts a while so I can avoid shops now. Plus I hate babying...

    Picture of Your Setup Part 3!

    The newest mod. I originally had a Wismec Predator, but meh. Glad to throw that in the trash. I've been eyeing this mod online. Loved the Resin side, but all the online shops had the silver version. Seeing reviewers with the black versions made me want that so much. The other side of the mod is...

    Rebuildable Coil Life

    6 months on a Reo Grand... and they still looked brand new after a quick rinse with water. I wrapped them myself. A simple 26g dual coil build. However this was with unflavored. I change every couple weeks in the odd chance that I run flavors.

    After This Much Pound Cake

    Part of the reason why I switched to unflavored haha. I can run the same cotton for months if I wanted to without it changing color. It's amazing how sweeter tasting e-liquid gunks up that quickly.

    Anyone remember when a "starter kit" was actually for beginners?

    Thank you everyone for your replies on this. I was scared a bit for posting this. Thinking a lot of people would disagree or just say I'm wrong. Waking up this morning and seeing all of the replies was a big surprise.

    Anyone remember when a "starter kit" was actually for beginners?

    My dad isn't exactly an MTL vapor. At one point I had 20 tanks/mods laying around from doing reviews. From MTL to DTL, and the one setup that initial "lit the fire" so to speak to him quitting cigarettes was an iStick 50w and Atlantis Sub Ohm tank. The local shop is the reason it worked. When...

    Anyone remember when a "starter kit" was actually for beginners?

    Thank you :D and I've clicked through here and there but didn't talk as much. It's great to be back though.

    Anyone remember when a "starter kit" was actually for beginners?

    The issue with the eGrip and why he switched to an iStick 50w so quickly was they were cheaply made. He broke the first one after a week and the 2nd one he bought was broke the next day. The second one the charging port basically fell out haha.
