Are you done stocking up?

I keep hearing how everyone loves the zenith. I bought one and tried a second one and both flooded really bad. I do have a third one that I never tried that came with a kroma. Maybe I'll get that one out and try again.

Have you considered that maybe you got "dud" coils with the 2 you've been having flooding with? Maybe buy a box of new ones and see if they work well.

Where’s the cheapest place to get some?

KangerTechWholesale.com (now goes by LightFire Distribution, too) is by far the cheapest price for the 1.6ohm ones. I've loaded up on a lifetime supply of them at an average cost of $5.56/box of 5...with Free S/H. That's buying 13 boxes at a time though, to get the Free S/H and a surprise 10% off for getting that many. Have done that twice, like @Zazie and IIRC @NolaMel. Made me wish I'd found out about them earlier, before I bought multiple boxes at about $2 more per box, from MBV and MFS...when I thought their prices were pretty good for them. ;)

    I filled the zenith that came with my kroma kit and put in the 1.6. If This one works well then maybe I’ll order some coils. Where’s the cheapest place to get some?
    I ordered a box of the 1.6 coils and a box of the .8 coils from Fastech

    Sorry if you’ve said and I missed it, but what pg/vg are you using in the Zenith? I did have flooding when I first filled it - I used 50/50 as I normally would for mtl. Cleaned it out and tried 30 pg/70 vg and it’s fine. Although I did change the coil as well, so that could’ve been the problem, but I’ve never had that big a mess from a dud coil before.

    All the liquids I use are either 60/40 or 70/30 vg/pg

    I guess it’s time to come clean. I bought a lost vape Orion go dna, two Orion quests, six packs of pods, 25-30 new flavors for mixing, a liter of 100mg nic, and am impatiently waiting on a Zeus X. I think that was it for March.
    I too got a couple of pod systems recently. Batteries and builds can't be replaced or rebuilt so stockpiling isn't practical. In the mean time they make stealth vaping far easier so I'll take advantage of that while the products are available. I bet there will be a maintainable pod system sooner or later

    For the stockpile I plan to get a bit more nic but waiting for the sake of fresher product.

    I got concerned about OLED screens going blank on the shelf so got a couple of protected but unregulated squonkers. No screens on those. But I needed an rda, with squonk pin, that doesn't leak (Cthulu 1928). Can anyone suggest another leak resistant rda for squonking? I do MTL.

    I'm likely to get a protected tube mod and some $5 replacement boards to back up the backups.

    For three years I kept only one setup juiced up and in service. Now there are 3 atomizers I like and they each have situations where they work best. That doesn't count the pods that are juiced up.

    Based on my recent buying I must be thinking the threat of government interference is increasing. On the bright side I think I'm noticing a struggle between government officials who want to severely restrict vape products and others who prefer to tax them. May be that will create a stalemate and more delays.

    Just curious but did you gets yours really soon after they came out? IIRC there was an issue with an o-ring on the first run that they corrected. I think the ones that had the problem can be easily fixed if you call them. Of course it might be the Ares tank I am thinking about, I can't remember which for sure.

    That could be it. The one I tried last night is one that came with a kroma kit. I'll have to get the other one out to try.

    Ok, good results so far. I let the tank sit from last night until today after work and its still good. No flooding. I’m going to get some coils ordered and try my silver one again since the blue one is working.
