The istick might not be right for you just because of the squeeze-firing. I don't notice the weight because of the way I hold it but I know your hands get achy when it's cold, so that may not be the best option for you. What about the Solo??
Still in line....lol....haven't ruled it out

I like the kanthal better anyways.....but the Ni was just sitting there...lol...was more for size. Got a few amazing puffs off before I remembered I was using watts, not temp. now I think something's off with the tank because I had trouble unscrewing the coil and now nothing reads in that tank. Good grief, Charlie brown!
Make sure the bottom pin is pushed up enough to touch the coil. The cCell may have pushed it down so it doesn't connect with a coil anymore.

I'm a little surprised you're not going for the blue subox mini :p
It's still on the list, too. Everything I have in the cart for accessories are pink and purple so far....if I go with the green cool fire, I'll add some green sleeves and orings and drip tips. I don't have anything blue, though

It also doesn't help that the people that "fixed up" this house before selling it did literally EVERYTHING wrong. There were seriously 3 layers of drywall in the kitchen - covering empty doorways and a pantry cabinet. The old cabinets were installed before the last layer of drywall, and it was cut to fit the cabinets. The drop ceiling was crooked, and the electrical wiring in the kitchen is all kinds of crazy. I'll never understand how they got away with half of the stuff they did.
Same with our house. It's ridiculous the stuff they got away with construction wise. We have been "fixing it up" since we bought it 12 years ago, lol. I can't wait to get to the kitchen but there is still so much to do, including some extremely shoddy wiring we just discovered. :facepalm:

Dude.... sounds like my house.

We knew it would need SOME work cuz it was leased out as section 8 for awhile and had not had a tenant for at least a year or two before we moved in, but holy carp terds!

Someone please explain to me how the best way to secure a window mount AC unit is to put six inch lag bolts through the second story window frame at the bottom with no caulk. Please.

Just from that maneuver, we had to rip out, spray down, paint, and replace the whole ceiling in the utility hall, 3/4 of the walls in that hallway, all the molding, two light fixtures and part of the floor. It was all infested with mold and falling out, plus there was a lovely ant colony in the base of the wall cuz of the moisture.

And that doesn't begin to cover the problems we found in the kitchen whilst fixing that hall. Let's just say we had it down to studs and sub floor for about two weeks...

I hate when people do that and leave it for someone else to fix!

Yeah. Like I said, I'm happy it's started. I'll just be so much happier when it's finished and I can use my kitchen as a kitchen again. No idea when they will actually come back to finish it. The days they were supposed to come was because they had no other jobs then. I know they have other jobs they are working on now. :(
That's messed up! We went through the same thing with our roofers a couple of years ago. It should have taken 2 days but it was over a month before it was finally finished. :(

The tenants we had renting our house in KS when we first moved here took excellent care of it the 1st 6 months. Then, they quit paying rent, trashed the furniture and appliances, and it took us forever to get them out. Then, we hired a property manager to get "better" renters....they tore the house up even worse, and stole the appliances.....lol.....

I'll wait for you to get one and report back
I wish I could get one. Not until the price comes down, though. I am all about ceramic heating elements, though. I entered the contest on Vaping Cheap but, well, you know. Contest. :D

As it stands now...I have a purple Target kit and a white Subox mini waiting....
OOOOH that's hot! Purple and white. I like it a lot! I ordered the white iStick because Fasttech cancelled that coil order and I had enough from the refund of the fundage to get it. Now I need to pick a pink wrap for the ugly gray one, and I am designing a couple of custom tips. Well, 3, actually. A pink one, a white one with a pink stone in it and a blue and green one. I can't order anything just yet so I am taking my sweet time making up my mind. :D

Yep, ours was a rental for many years before the owner decided to sell it. We had to jack up one corner of the house because it had sunk about 6 inches and when we did we found out that the "drywall" they replaced was actually just tape and paint. :facepalm:

OMG!!! That's horrible! I know this house had a reputation because when people found out which house we bought they said, "Ahhhh, I remember THAT house!" Apparently it was quite the party house a number of times over the years. Our poor neighbors were kinda terrified when they found out it had actually sold. Boy were they ever relieved to find out there was no way that was happening with us, lol! :D
