    Difference between mechanical vs regular APV like the provari?

    Avoid buying items that include batteries from Fasttech. Everything else is fair game there though. Stuff with batteries can get hung up in shipping. Here's a place to get the iSticks. iStick 30W by Eleaf iStick 50W by Eleaf The 50w is a little bigger, has a higher mah rating (longer...

    Difference between mechanical vs regular APV like the provari?

    I will echo what's already been stated. For your level of vaping, you should consider an iStick 30w or iStick 50w. Safe, powerful, long lasting mods for budget price. Easy. Avoid a Provari or anything that expensive - you simply don't need it (and the Provari, while being hailed for high...

    How did you go from smoking to vaping?

    Different for everyone, some people need to dual-use for quite some time before being able to completely kick the cigarettes. For me, it was very fast and easy. 50 cigs a day (2.5 packs) RYO smoker for 18 years. First day with a cigalike, I smoked three cigarettes. Second day with the...

    "Sigelei" Branded 18650 IMR's - Are they rewraps and of what?

    Any idea where you read that? These seem to have different specs than the older Sigelei 18650's (and different wrappers, slightly).

    aspire cf vv battery safety

    Most pen-sized ego style batteries aren't meant to handle below 1.5 ohms. Build above 1.5 if you're concerned. I can't find specifics about what the Aspire CF VV can handle but the rest of it's specs point to it being just like any other ego/spinner battery - 1.5 and up.

    "Sigelei" Branded 18650 IMR's - Are they rewraps and of what?

    I'm getting a couple of questionable batteries (Sigelei 18650 IMR, 2500mah 30a(not 30a obv)) in a package deal, just curious if anyone has any experience with them. I assume they are rewraps (LG's or Samsungs?) and would like to know more about them before I use them in anything. Anybody used...

    Sigelei 50w VR2 Review

    And order placed! (plus a Subtank Mini to throw on top of it when I'm not dripping). Great thread, really helped me make up my mind :)

    Sigelei 50w VR2 Review

    Thanks. I like everything about the Sig in comparison on paper except the IPV mini 2 has the extra 20w tagged on (but with a single 18650 I'm not sure how much use that would get anyways). I've found both devices around $55 so I think the Sig is going to win out for me.

    Sigelei 50w VR2 Review

    My bad, I didn't see that before. Thanks for the reply. As you have both, if you had to pick one, which do you think you'd go with? Just curious :)

    Sigelei 50w VR2 Review

    Does anyone have both the sig 50w v2 and the ipv mini 2? Wondering how they stack up build quality wise.

    Sigelei 50w VR2 Review

    Think I'm going to dive in and grab one of these 50w vr2's, as I really need a travel device and the 100+ - 150w's are just too big. Thanks for the overview Treeb!

    Help? Yes! | Parameters- contacts, VDrop, Locking ring

    Well, best is subjective to a point - we aren't talking about e-juice here, we're talking about mods and functionality - if it were looks in question, then I'd agree fully. I'm just trying to suss out the most worthy "out of box" mechs that require little to no modification on the user end to...

    Help? Yes! | Parameters- contacts, VDrop, Locking ring

    Could you list, in order of best to worst, the fasttech clones you have personally used or purchased?

    What's on your wish list?

    I want more mechs, because, shiny! But the two I have are working flawlessly so I can't bring myself to get any more. I want a dual 18650 box mod. Not sure if regulated or unregulated is on the menu yet, but those sigelei 100+ are looking mighty fine for the price. I want too many RDA's to...

    Broken EMOW Battery - So Devastated!

    That's an unfortunate turn, sorry for your loss :( All devices with built in batteries or electronics do eventually fail though, some sooner than others obviously due to quality control or use. One of the new teeny tiny box mods with a 510/ego adapter would be a nice investment for on the go...

    FUhatten or Stingray X Clone by Infinite??

    Stingray X vote. I'm not sure what the rice pin issue is, but I haven't encountered it with mine (both X and regular Stingray)

    Any other Mechheads out there?

    Mechs yes. Regulated is great, but I'm educated enough now to get a great vape out of a tube, a battery, and an atomizer - don't need to worry about a reg box suddenly becoming a paperweight.

    RDA How Many !!

    I own four, only two get used, and I want about six more. It is a sickness though, I imagine this time next year I'll have a bucketful of the damn things.
