I was cleaning out an old small three drawer organizer and found some old mods. Two Trog screwdrivers, an xhaler, and a few others I’m not sure the name of.

Top is the Innokin VV3. Fifth one from the top looks like a Vamo, maybe a V3 or 4. Been a while :)

Well - IMHO - Yes, I know the first one is definitely an Innokin VV3 . . . Now - I think both of those next to each other (#4 & #5) are Vamos . . . There is also an eGo (#6) one of the "Larger" 1000mAh batteries next to the Vamos . . . And - as for #2 it sure looks as though it is a VV and there is some form of writting on the bottom that should say what model it is to . . . As for the rest who knows . . . Just Sayin' . . . :facepalm:

I don’t have anyone to discourage my purchases. I have the moral high ground on this anyway, as husband still smokes and he buys an $80 carton about in league with my purchases. Especially since I took a hiatus from buying anything vape-related for a year between 2018-September 2019, I have some catching up with him to do, spending-wise.

Also, my step kids don’t mind (they are both young adults now) and I am the only of their four parents (their mother, ex-stepfather, and dad) who doesn’t smoke anymore. The kids would rather us all vape instead.

And of course, as I’ve mentioned before, dear MIL absolutely supports my vaping, and is pleased I am prepared.

Our bills are all paid, I don’t spend us into the poorhouse, and nothing goes on a credit card (no judgements). And soon enough, this stuff won’t be available, as far as I can see. So I’m buying it while I can.

I think my Luna might be here today, too. That one is getting stashed.

I hope I didn’t come off like a pompous :censored: in my last post. That’s the last thing I want to be. I just know I smoked for 22 years and I don’t want anyone to ever feel bad about preparing for bans.

That is one purchase that, imo, should be considered a “freebie” for whatever reason, as that thing pays for itself quickly. I hope you enjoy it. I use mine for a ton of stuff. :)

I’m a fan. Totally changed how I cook. Learned a lot. Homemade soup in 1/2 an hour? Yes please. I make yogurt, spaghetti sauce, cheesecake, and I haven’t bought canned beans since I got the IP.

Not at all. I’m completely stocked, but I still buy stuff just because I want it and soon won’t have the option. I pay everything with my CC, but I pay it off every month. Nobody to tell me how to spend my money, but if anyone tried, I’d tell them to mind their own business. I mean I could have worse hobbies.

Thanks for the reassurance. :) My main point was that I’m not hurting anyone or our budget by being irresponsible. And TBH, if someone feels like stocking up is insurance for the future, well, I’m the last person they’d need to justify any spending to, especially if they’re in danger of going back to smoking.

Of course I am extremely angry about the need to stock up, and greatly lament that not everyone can do it. Half my customers at the vape shop had to scrounge for a $5 coil and $15 bottle of juice every week. I know what this is doing to people.

If you can go with restricted lung DL, Geekvape Ammit MTL RDA ($20 at element vape), or the vapefly galaxies mtl rdta (black is $22 at Gearbest). I run them in the 30 - 40w zone, very good flavor restricted DL. On the galaxies, open the side airflow screws all the way (they're on the center of the build posts).

Speaking of squonk RDA, I have a Vapefly Holic on the PIF pile. Very good flavor, but slightly more restricted than I like. Its play space is tight MTL through very restricted DL.
I already have 1 of the vapefly galaxies mtl for the wife, I got her that and 2 Digiflavor ETNA MTL RDA, actually one or both of those may have been on your recommendation. ;) I will make a note to try the galaxies myself with DTL.

Lord no you are not pompous whatsoever! :wub: My son wasn’t influencing my decision directly...he knows who’s boss around here. But it was just a mental checkup for me that he did indirectly. It was an impulse buy anyway. :hubba: I’m gonna be strong and wait for sales next week. :rolleyes:

My favorite all year has been the Wotofo Elder Dragon. The coils in the box are about perfect for it too. They give you a tool to get the leg length right every time. It's very easy to set up. The flavor is pretty splendid. I haven't shopped around for any in a while. But lots of places had them for under $20.
Is the squonk pin sold separately for that one or something? I do not see it listed: Wotofo Elder Dragon RDA Φ22mm Vape Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer

Bless you and thank you! I know tone doesn’t carry in writing all the time and I did go on a tangent. I’m a lamb and worry that I offend people. :)

The upcoming sales do at least give us a reason to wait a whole week LOL. And then the week after that we can share our good deals. :)

    Here's what I mean about opening up the side airflow, a pair of 1.27mm grub screws.

    For my in-use galaxies I dab jb weld onto the extended grub screws so they won't re-close.

    Vapemail today was a pair of Teflon drip tips from FT. Both of them appear to be "just right" in terms of inner bore, height, and outer diameter for me, I'll probably order a handful of each.

    Well, I'd gladly do the searching to find the best price for you on a specific one, when you've narrowed the list down. I doubt you'd want me to choose which 1 that would be, out of the bunch you linked to...especially since I don't know diddly about squonking gear. :)

    Can you find better than this? lol
    Digiflavor Drop for $13.95 ($18.95 less a $5 coupon at eightvape) plus $3.09 shipping

    I will poop myself if you do. :shock:

    And the Wotofo Elder Dragon RDA for $17.99 +$3.68 shipping at Sourcemore (that's preorder, which I am fine with as long as it gets here before May. lol)

    They include the squonk pin.
    Picked up a few of them last year for $6 ea.
    Not that I don't trust you, but why would they not have it listed? And I am sure I am a little late to the party, but where did you get them for $6? :)

    I believe the second one from the top is an Lrider Lambo, a later flavor of the fourth one down, an original Lavatube. I still have both myself deep in the hoard but never got a Screwdriver. What a classic!

    Not sure why it's not listed in the Sourcemore description.
    Here is Wotofo's description:
    Elder Dragon RDA
    I think I got them at Eightvape? Not sure it's been awhile.

    Sourcemore's listing does say :

    Juice Feeding Method: Drip/Squonk

    From Wotofo's site: "The Elder Dragon RDA comes with a squonk 510 pin fitted as standard. But it includes a solid pin in the package used for dripping."
