    Guys, What you think about lost vape's Drone? Anybody tried it? Is it durable? Any reported problems?
    Vaporl has the ultem for what I consider a really good price, $77. I hate ultem but for that price, I'm seriously considering getting one.
    Someone please dissuade me.
    I dont get anything over $45 if that helps. I dont care the brand. I have morals. LOL

    The one caveat on the bolt is that it's for tootle puffers (low power). The wiring to the switch is apparently only rated for a couple amps. Think builds at 1.4 ohms or greater.
    That and higher (like 2.4 ohms) would be in line with that era... It's like going back in time. lol

    According to that calculator, 1L of 100mg will last me 18 years LOL

    Will nicotine even last that long in the freezer?
    So you use about 15 mg of nic a day, something like 5ml of 3mg/ml? Good job!

    Freezer storage in glass bottles is how to go.

    Well thats no good. Myrany figured I would work out to 1.2 ohms at my best.

    How long did your original bottles last?
    well I am not a good one to ask on that. Because I couldn't replace it I haven't used it much at all. I've run maybe a dozen refills on it and cleaned it up and put it away. Waiting on ali express order before I put the thing into regular use. I've had if for a couple of years though.

    You were not kidding about going direct to the manufacturer for bottles:
    Sub-Total:$9.00
    Paypal Fee(4.8%):$1.34
    DHL (0.15kg):$18.91
    Total:$29.25

    For two 5ml bottles? yeah right!!

    EDIT: Do you have a link to the bottles you found?
    it was ali express and someone gave me the link in this thread. Look back at early oct. I litterally ordered the day before Alibaba stopped selling vape gear to the US.

    Edit: I chased it down and went to the link. It now will not show for US people only the warning that this item cannot ship to the US. That is Alibaba/ali express not selling vape gear to the US anymore. I got in under the wire on that one.

    3A x 1.2 ohms = 3.6V. That's lower than the nominal voltage of batteries we use, and a fresh battery would be delivering 4.2/1.2 = 3.5 Amps, though it would fairly quickly drop towards a bit over 3A.

    Things I've seen on it talk to 3A wire, and 1.5 ohm coils (which would be consistent with 3A wiring plus a bit of head room).

    I'd tend towards thinking of 1.4 ohms as the lowest resistance I'd intentionally use on it, with 1.5 ohms or higher "better".

    Best I can tell it's a fine little mech for experienced low power vapers.

    Over my head but I trust you.

    If anyone is/was holding off on buying nic base from Heartland Vapes...waiting for Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales:

    Their sale this year will not include nic base.
    It'll likely be 15% off everything else on their website.
    The price they pay for the nicotine has risen quite a bit lately.
    They just can't discount it more than the 5% by using the vapemag code, 1 time per person.

    Was also told late yesterday afternoon that they were all caught up on nic orders placed during the week-end. So, you'd have a good chance of an order being filled/shipped the day it's placed, or the next day.

    Hoping that they did not remove access to the bottles for US customers.... I was able to get some tank glass last week as they had not caught it yet.
