Are you done stocking up?

[JCinFLA]

Last night I got my mail at around 6:20PM. usually come at around 8AM. The USPS is busy lately.

If I'm not mistaken the question by Fiddleshe, "How late?"...was for RJ, who mentioned getting a cabinet delivered very late last night.

It IS hard to know who questions are directed to though sometimes...especially when there is no quote within the post, indicating who they're asking.

@Koolkiz - Element vape shows the Berserker 1.5 RTAs In Stock. However, they're quite a bit cheaper from other vendors out of the US.

Vandy Vape Berserker V1.5 24mm MTL RTA

Thank you but when I use the select option they are all out of stock.

How could I forget, recently I have been going back to using KR808D1 and 510 cigalikes with mini tanks and sometimes cartos.

I have also been using an auto eGo battery with clearomizers to simulate a cigar, but auto eGo batteries are hard to find.

I've been mainly using these because I have been having "urges" to use cigarette and cigar form factors without the use of a button. Been getting sick of box mods and having to push a button. It's nice to "V" a cigarette or grip a cigar in my fingers and not have to use a button. Funny how after all these years that urge came back.

Actually, that urge never left, it's been with me all this time. It's much more satisfying to smoke than to vape. I'm a smoker at heart, not a vaper, but I will never go back to smoking. I just want to simulate it. I can't even stand the smell of it anymore. It angers me when I smell it when I'm out in public. It' so nauseating. I can smell cigarette smoke a mile away anymore.

Using these devices also helps to keep my eliquid usage down.

I get that. One thing I do miss is being able to stick a cig in my mouth and let it hang there while I did something with both hands. Not have to find a safe flat place to stand the mod. Maybe they could develop a small lightweight auto cigalike with a soft tip.

@Koolkiz - VapeWild has the original version Berserker (my absolute all-time favorite RTA) in the 24mm size, in stock in Gold and in Rainbow...for $23.00 + S/H. Those are rare to find from any vendor in the US and/or overseas now, especially at that price. If I didn't already have a big stash of them, I'd jump on another 1 or 2 of them.

Thank you! Is this version as good as the 1.5 version?

You may like pods for auto draw. I only have one like that, a Gala, refillable pods. Handy little thing Pods are on sale everywhere now.

I can dangle cigalike and ego-cigar (650mah) from my teeth provided the right tips are used with a silicone drip tip condom.

There is a downside to these, though. They collect condensation underneath and then start to slip off the tip very easily. You have to wipe the inside of the cover and the outside of your tip somewhat often.

As far as soft cartomizers, they have been invented. I bet there are some cigalike brands still use them. I also I remember coming across a blog post where I read a big pharma company bought out an ecig brand and shelved it with the intention of making a nicotine delivery/smoking cessation system that is a cigalike with a soft tip like a cigarette.

That's odd...it showed In Stock right when I posted it here. Of course, that was almost 1/2 hour ago.

The 1.5 version is the second one produced. I've never even wanted to try it, because I love the original version so much. It ticks off every box for what I was looking for in an RTA. Lots of us who bought many of the 24mm and 22mm originals have never wanted to try the 1.5

It's not just the auto draw that I want, it's the auto draw with...

• the same tubular shape as a cigar or cigarette
  
• at least as light as a 650mah eGo with clearo and
  
• has a tip that allows me to hold in my teeth (because let's face it, asking for an e-cig that you can hold in your lip is a lot to ask so we have to settle for the teeth).

Take any one of those factors out and I'm not buying pod systems or ne wbox mods (weeeeeell, I might buy an HCigar Warwolf once I get more nic base just because it looks so durable). I have all the boxy button systems I need. lol I'm now on the hunt for a true e-cigarette that is satisfying, not a "vaping" system.

Ive never seen a pod system that fits that bill. They all look like either space ships, sex toys or drug paraphernalia to me. lol. They obviously are catering to a younger crowd with those pod systems.

50 or so years from now, if vaping still exists in one form or another, there will be a generation of people who may not realize that vaping only exists because of smoking. They will never understand the satisfaction one can get from "V-ing" a cigarette or grasping a cigar in your fingers or holding either of those in one's mouth. I plan on preserving that as much as I possibly can.

@UncleJunkle - That 510-W clearomizer looks like 1 of the clones of the Vision Nano Clearomizer. I started using the Nanos with my JoyeTech 510 Double Starter Kit batteries, when I didn't want to use the little 510 attys and foam-filled mouthpieces. Loved the Vision Nanos! When I heard they were going to be discontinued...I bought more than 125 of them from various vendors, even from a couple Canadian websites who still had them in quantity. Still have probably 90 of them in my stash.

I'll have to wait to payday but will pick up one. I'll try it out and pack it up for the vape apocalypse. Thanks again.

You're welcome. However, I bet once you try it...it may not even make it into your stash. For me, they give the smoothest, most flavorful vapor I've ever gotten using any tank or RTA. I keep 2 in my daily rotation.

Wow, it's that good? I've never tried a Berserker RTA, may have to get one just to try it. What's so great about them, and do you know which clones at fasttech are good?

Really? I have had a few of them myself and never got one that worked right. The juice holes are too small for 50/50 liquid so the wicks burn right up, impossible to wick. I still have about 4 left brand new branded by Buck Naked Ecigs.

BestEcig has them, one with regular wick and one with ceramic wick.
I just ordered one of the ceramic wicked ones the other day during their 25% off sale. But I doubt I'll use them regularly even if they do work and last a while because they are $2.45 each and they aren't rebuildable.

I also ordered their Mini H2 clearo so I'm interested to see how that works. It has a replaceable coil head. The only thing I hate about it is that it has no tip. But maybe with a silicone mouthpiece it will be OK. However I have my doubts about it because the wick holes on the coil heads look rather small to me. I doubt it will work right with 50/50 juice at 4 volts.

I also ordered one of their E-smart BCC clearos which has a replaceable coil head to see what that's like. It a little thicker than a cigalike at 11mm but I don't mind. I figure if I replace the metal tip with a plastic one I may be able to hold it in my teeth on either a small 650mah ego or a cigalike. The heads are similar to a kanger protank or H2 heads so it should wick well enough with 50/50 juice at 4 volts.

They also have the regular 11mm top coil e-smart clearos, which I do like, but like the nano, it is impossible to rebuild therefore is too expensive to use.

They also have the ceramic CCell TH210 Ceramic Clearo but it's also a disposable clearo and the tip is ceramic and I'm not too sure I'd like it. Not sure if 50/50 is too thin for it anyhow because it was made for thicker stuff. I might order one just to try it next time a place an order from them. Not sure. The upside to it is it's only 10.5mm and it's glass.

I like the 1.5 version but its only 2mL. I'm hoping the 4.5 tank will last me. I do vape a lot.

 

[BigPappa]

I use these heat sinks.

Even though I'm a low wattage vaper, I use them as thread savers.

But drip tips do not have threads. Lol

EDIT: NM I see now that you are talking about something totally different than we were.

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

Some drip tips have threads. CEx, T4S, E-smart, Th210 are 4 that I know of. Of course these aren't drip tips, in fact most drip tips aren't really used as drip tips, they are just tips/mouthpieces. But I digress.

But I get your point. Yes, I was talking about 510 thread savers for mods.

My favs are authentic 22 mm size

 

[bnrkwest]

Well I jumped down the SXK BB rabbit hole LOL

 

[bnrkwest]

If anyone is looking 3Fvape has the SXK BB 60

 

[BigPappa]

Vaporl has a sale Hellvape Hellbeast Hybrid Sub Ohm Tank - 4ml

I skim read what you had written and thought you were saying to just buy some spare parts, not to pick up more tanks as spare parts... lol (That's why I asked "But from where?"... another blonde moment).

They're charging like 3 bucks more for the black, I might settle for a couple of the gold... I got my 4 Hellbeasts for $13.95 each ($18.95 less a $5 coupon) plus shipping from eightvape. I wish they still had some.
