so i prefer rebuildables over other forms for a simple reason; It’s massively cheaper. Not some, not a little bit, massively. Literally fractions of the cost.

There was a vape shop in NY dumping its unsold non-disposable gear for 1/10th cost, so i bought out all the coils they had left of a particular device called a maze. It’s a CDA(? What do you call a coil cartridge RDA?) at 50 cents a box, 3 coils per box. I got about a 1yr supply. After they are gone it will probably be garbage, because I have yet to see a non-proprietary coil system. They stop making coils for them and you’re just completely boned. Anyway, this is what a year of coils looks like. $5 for 3 is a heckuva lot better than $20 for one, which is what you get with disposables. Anyway if these boxes cost $5 each instead of fifty cents it would be a lot.

That there is a year’s worth of DIY vaping with coils minus the nic which is still in the freezer. Someone wants to quit smoking so I’m GIVING them this box. The white package in back is a capo squonker mod kit and 2 mazes (again 1/10th cost). This should be enough to get them quit of nicotine if they want. $160 (what those coils would have cost at $5 per) is a lot better than the $5400 a year of analogs or disposables would cost, but what if all those coils was a third of a bag of cotton balls? Thats what a rebuildable box like this would have.

Lovely gesture. Hope it bears positive fruit for the recipient of your generosity.

Sadly it didn’t. The COPD was too advanced. She couldn’t do any of the three bases I tried without coughing. So I’ve got a box of stuff I have no use for. There are still lots of people trying to quit smoking though. I shall find a victim…

Gum,patches, losenges and now pouches all work great, so great I thought were more addictive than smoking…..but worked and saved my lungs, alltho expensive.
Patches are excellent, but lack of the up and down, high/low that smoking gives is where the patch lacks. You just stay up until it it slowly weans and you put a fresh patch on. I would save the patches cause would still work at a later date if I was out. Haha. Can find BOGO deals at CVS and Walgreens sometimes. Good luck to them, hope they find what works.
