    Tax time and new mech mod

    I have wasted a ton of money on mods and RDAs I've quit using. I now use exclusively my SMPL paired with my tugboat (v1) and that's it. I've got fancier mods but they just aren't as dependable, fancier RDAs that are harder to build and offer nothing over the tugboat. Hope whatever you...

    Tugboat mod magnet

    Oh, forgot to add, you can slip a thin magnet under the buttons post. I was running one when I was trying to tighten up the throw. Stiffened the button up and helped the consistency problem a tiny bit. I regret buying it. Should have just bought a v2 tb Atty instead.

    Tugboat mod magnet

    The magnet seems fine in mine. I've got a very early version though. What makes you think it's weak? It will actually hold it's own weight if you stick it to metal.

    Going without, no withdrawal!

    I wasn't trying to minimalize the struggle to quit, that obviously will be different for everyone. My point is that the tobacco itself is part of, if not a major factor, in the addiction and withdrawals. I was scared to drop down to 6mg to be honest. Last thing I wanted was to get the crazy...

    Going without, no withdrawal!

    There is, my mind is made up, obviously more to tobacco addiction than nicotine and the habit. If I went a few hours without a cigarette (when I smoked) or chewing tobacco, I was a raving lunatic. Deprived of vaping, after kicking tobacco, was no biggie. I felt no physical withdrawals. I can...

    Thumbs down: Cool Fire 2 form factor

    Goofy looking mod. I don't think your stone should be tossed because you think it looks like a grenade. Should throw the mod at them. After you pull the pin of course.

    Help out a newb-veteran. Considering a mod but unsure on which direction

    For the boat, I'd just grab a couple cheap but dependable clones. You get a nice vape from those Atlantis tanks according to what I've read and witnessed at the vape shop. Some decent batteries. That way if it gets lost you're not out much. If it gets wet, only the battery would probably be...

    Going without, no withdrawal!

    I've been a tobacco user since around 1990. Last year I started vaping, it took a few days to a week to give up tobacco and only vape. It wasn't super easy but it wasn't as difficult as going cold turkey. I still had the urge for tobacco for a couple of months but nothing I couldn't control...

    Oye, Bone to pick with it all

    On every forum, from video games, cars, motorcycles, guitars...the list goes on. There are always that little clique that rather than offer useful content, spend most of their posts to belittle, spell check, grammar check, dismiss and generally adhere to a need to prove they are somehow more...

    Whats the best clone RDA for new builders? Big bore and flavor chasing.

    The tugboat clone is easy to build but needs to be drilled out for better airflow. Also I have read that some have flush or recessed positive pin in the 510, so that may be an issue on some mods. But it's a decent knock off and cheap.

    Maybe try the Anaheim Hill's shop (714) 998-8298. Good luck.

    problems with kanthal wire please help me

    With lighter guage wire I do my best while forming a coil but don't worry if it loosens up. I just tweak them on the RDA. Pulse heat, squeeze, adjust and dip into water once I'm happy.

    Flawless Vape

    I live by flawless, I'm surprised they weren't helpful when you contacted the shop. Generally, you get a status of "shipped" once it has shipped. "Completed" just means it has been boxed up and sent to carrier. Their tug sauce is pretty good, late night is one of my staples. The mod is very cool...

    Issues with my Chi Megan...

    I'm not familiar with the button set up on that particular mod but definitely sounds button related. It is not making good contact and causing it to heat up and inconsistantly conduct. I would look at the button. Wish I could be more helpful.

    Best mech for sub ohm builds?

    Perhaps I could have worded it differently to be more accurate. In my experience, my counterfeit RDA's are the only ones with flush or recessed positive pins. Also, the only RDA I own which has a very loose adjustable positive pin is also a counterfeit. I'm not trying to put down counterfeit...

    hello, im new with mods, just bough t a chi you and a tugboat v2!

    I've got the tugboat mod and although I want to love it, it just doesn't perform as well as my other mods. I can put a fresh battery in the tug and the smpl, using the same atomizer/build, the smpl hits harder. It's noticeable. Stick with what you have, do some research. If after you get your...

    Best mech for sub ohm builds?

    Easiest way to short a smpl mod is to use a counterfeit RDA or over tighten the RDA denting your battery. I know because I've done both. Most authentic RDA's have protruding center posts or adjustable witch don't usually back out or screw in without the use of a tool. I have a few counterfeit...

    What's your favorite Cereal Flavored E Juice?

    Aisle 7, Nora's dream. This stuff is incredible! It's the milk at the bottom of the bowl after eating fruit loops. Most authentic flavor I've had yet and delicious. I've had some very authentic captain crunch. I kept expecting the roof of my mouth to be all tore up . I think it was made by...

    What atomizer are YOU vaping on right now?

    Naval brass tugboat (v-1). For me it's my perfect RDA. If you want a ridiculously large bore drip tip, they make a new top cap for v-2 tugboats that has an integrated drip tip that looks about 1/2" wide, think it gives it a lower profile too. The v-2 has adjustable airflow and can do single...
