I’ve never heard of those. Know any brand names?
Are you done stocking up?

Ok, we all know that I am the least fidget savvy on ecf so who is going to build one of these for me?

Just buy them pre made.
The setup I looked at is only $413 to my door.
That’s a little pricey... I’d go maybe half that... unless for $400 it does laundry, dishes or something to earn its keep
Just got all my Xmas shopping done and none of it was vape related. There is still hope with stocking stuffers though...
There is still hope with stocking stuffers though...Buying snus today. That's about it, work fried my brain this week but I certainly learned I CAN do this job,
Have not even checked my paycheck an its amount yet. Too fried yet, but I am buying a lot of snus, this I know.

What's with the obsession to stock up? Seriously. I'm glad I bumped into this thread as I thought it was just me. And it's not because I'm worried it won't be available to buy later or whatever. It's really a hogging thing. I HOG!
I just got 1 of 2 left, black, im a dtl vapor but I have to try one at that price someone will love it
I have two Beserker mini clones on the way from FT to try out. My everyday all the time vape is an SV rda clone which is intended for single coil MTL. I got my lifetime supply of them for about $7 each. I like them because the flavor is good and they are simple with few parts and no glass to break. With temp control I can vape the wick nearly dry if I choose. When I redrip it's usually 30 drops. This morning I counted out 30 drops of my DIY into my 5 ml graduated cylinder and find 30 drops equals 1 ml (photo below). So the Berserker is going to be 60 drops, only twice the capacity. With the SV if I need to redrip it's done in may be 15 seconds through the wide drip tip and I can do a quick squirt in the car at a stop light if necessary. One caveat is I have to be more careful about leakage with the SV but I've got that figured out. All things considered it remains to be seen if the Berserker will have any advantages over the SV for me.
I've been descretly vaping at work with no troubles until two days ago and so that ends for me--for now. The next morning I picked up some snus at a gas station on the way to work and tried it on the shop floor and, for me, it works nicely. Below is what I got because it's all the gas station had. Apparently it's not a big seller. I'm not sure why, it's a pleasant experience. It occurs to me snus might be a long run stratagy to extend my nic supply if necessary, by reducing how many puffs I take. I know nothing about snus or the smart way to buy it. Does anyone here know better than me how to learn about the choices and the smart way to buy?

4 years ago I switched to vaping and also got a younger brother switched. This is an important accomplishment that needs to be preserved. I sleep better knowing I can vape for years to come regardless of what the government does. It helps that a long term supply of nic, mods, and atomizers costs a reletively trivial amount of money. If there are no issues with shelf life my stockpile should last 20 years. The cost was $650. 20 years of smoking a pack a day in Michigan at present prices, $3,000 per year, is $60,000. Definitely not a trivial sum (but if I kept smoking probably I wouldn't live that much longer). May be the government will leave us alone, may be not.
I just bought 290 dollars worth of snus from Sweden. You kind of have to buy more to offset the cost. Even non conservatively (I don't go through a can of snus a day) that's like 102 days so about 4 months, plus Swedish snus is so much nicer.
There is something about doing that that makes me cringe as compared to a vape product that is "a thing that I imagine will never break" which is frankly unlikely, but I am glad I did it, I mean there were times in my life I was paying more than that a day for coffee and definitely more than cigarettes.
I am glad I did it, and all, and I waited until the (sort of) right time.
Next time I order, well I am going to be setting dough aside for every paycheck and ordering even more because can you ever have too much of something that really helps?
I think I would have quit my job/started smoking without it, and I'm really happy that everyone there does not know I vape... At ALL.
It's my weekend and break happy little secret and I don't need hand to mouth action when I am super busy and/or being productive.

You are way more hardcore than me. I estimate 2 pouches a day will be enough at work. I can't justify $200 worth of product. Is the Swedish stuff that much better? The cost of shipping from China is apparently almost trivial. We get free shipping even on small orders. I wonder why it's so much higher from Sweden.
The Camel stuff is okay but I have nothing to compare it with from lack of experience. Do you know about a website where I can read up on the topic?
You can try this thread: very helpful.
What's under your lip/in your nose right now? - Part 2
I have no interest in the camel stuff, Swedish snus (despite warnings plastered all over it) has been proven tested and safe. American snus has not.
You can buy Swedish snus without importing it, under the brand "American General Snus" which is actually from Sweden although your choices for flavor will probably be more limited.
I would not touch a Camel product with a 10 foot pole.
I also don't know your nic strength, so that depends too. You may be getting snus with a higher nic content than me also I was a 3 ppd smoker. Etc.

Since you'll have Berserker clones you're going to try out...in all honesty, I don't think you CAN see if the Berserker would have advantages over your SV. The clones are just not up to par in their quality, their performance, etc. compared to the authentics. Comments in this thread and others on ECF, made by those who've tried the clones and authentics, pretty much all agreed there's a big difference between them.
I do remember why you said you're trying the clones instead. But I'd give an authentic Mini a try, too, sometime to really see how it vapes compared to your SV.

The Berserker clones are in the mail so I'll try those first. My point was my even smaller clone rda holds 1 ml. The Berserker only doubles that, not exactly a huge leap forward, and then if there is a problem with wicking I've got a leak in my pocket, something that never happens with the rda as long as it doesn't get turned upside down. Never-the-less the Berserker is getting a tryout and if there is an application in my situation I'll try to get a few more for the stash. If authentics are still available within a few dollars I'll give those a look.
I'm at the point now with vaping where I'm not chasing the lastest and greatest. What I have now is good enough that none of the new stuff I've seen tempts me to change anything--except the berserker checks my boxes, no glass, 22mm, MTL, all black, no logo is nice, affordably priced for the stash, it deserves a tryout.
