So what is your odd ball item you bought on a whim or because it was really cheap and ended up a favorite?
Mine is the Berserker Kit I got for $5 from Vaporl. I actually love the tank on it although it is tiny, I just really like the vape :) Perfect MTL tank for me.
Vaporesso Revenger X Kit... I got 3... kind of wishing I had picked up 6 or more. They were only $14.99 for the mod with the NRG tank. I am more clumsy with this one for some reason. In the past couple weeks I have dropped the mod 4 times onto the tile floor so far, battery door went flying, batteries popped out, got some scratches on the side panels, but the tank held up. It was worth $14.99 just for the tank, the mod was a bonus. It takes coils that I already had, plus I got 3 RBA's for it as well as bubble glass, regular glass and gaskets.

The next best toy would be the minifit, it's super tiny, can't go wrong for $5.75, but I paid the extra $2.76 to have it in black, I picked up 3 of those.

For me these were the IPV Eclipse (excellent TC) and Silverplay 24mm(flavor and air). And they pair well; vaping now.

The axial rda. I wasn’t sure it would suit my tootling mtl style. Ended up ordering more. It’s great as a dripper or squonk. Funny how sometimes something you’re sure you’ll love, you don’t (Biip for me), and what you’re iffy about turns into having a place in the daily rotation!

I bought 4 Vaporesso Gemini RTAs from ejuicesteals at 99 cents apiece on a whim. I didn't really expect much, but went ahead and built one. And WOW. This tank has the most incredible flavor. A similar thing happened when I bought some Billow v3 tanks from Eciggity on clearance. They used to know how to build some incredible DL flavor tanks. Now, not so much.

I vape unflavored and my nautilus coils will last me 4-8 weeks maybe more (never counted the days, so it could be quite a lot longer, but it's at least that)... my smok m17 coils I am still counting the days (I am currently on day #180 at 14hrs per day only on that coil and it works as good as day #1, I have deducted any days that I used a different setup for the day), and my Vaporesso GT coils I have no idea (they are new to me)... I use them less but they have been going for at least a month (mostly about 4hrs a day, and a few full days mixed in). I expect the Vaporesso GT coils to last maybe as long as the m17's or longer. I vape 30% VG/70% PG and I am a low wattage vaper... nautilus coils at 14W, m17's at 10-11W and Vaporesso GT's at 20-21W. I average about 21 7-10 second direct lung hits per hour.
I’m going to have to swap my nautilus coil over to unflavored then. I don’t put any sweetener in my diy, but I’m only getting maybe a week with daily use. The zenith coils seem to last longer than them with flavors.

Does anyone want a backup berserker tank? I tried to drill it out, but didn’t get an increase in af. Pictures to show the scratch and deck. Free for the taking! PM if interested

The Vaporesso Tarot Baby, bought mostly for the tank. I love it's capabilities, hand feel, fire bar, long battery life and quick charging. I hate that it has a built in battery so I can't have one waiting for me in ten years.

Thats me and my Eleaf istick ipower 80w. I love those little things. When mine die I am going to be very sad. Nothing in my arsenal matches its mah in such a small lightweight form factor. Just convenient little beasts with simplicity in mind. Love them. Im thinking my last order may very well end up being 3-4 more or these.

Well to begin with it wasn’t just one odd ball purchase! I bought 4 Sigelei Charons - different colors of course- they were about $12. Then I bought 2 IPV mods w a Yihi board. I think I paid $15 or $18 bucks for those.

I actually enjoy the Charon so much I’ve put one in my rotation instead of the stash. Unfortunately, I seem to be liking most of my “stash” so much I haven’t stashed them lol!!

    I have some of that going on also. I need to put away the solos and jacs and use up my built in battery mods but can't seem to find the motivation to do it.

    I have an Aegis Mini with a built in battery. I keep it with my coiling and wicking kit for installing and dry burning, and testing coils for mechs. It's quite stable due to being short and wide. Also waterproof so I can even put the squonking RDA on it. Should last for a long time just doing that stuff with it.

    I vape unflavored and my nautilus coils will last me 4-8 weeks maybe more (never counted the days, so it could be quite a lot longer, but it's at least that)... my smok m17 coils I am still counting the days (I am currently on day #180 at 14hrs per day only on that coil and it works as good as day #1, I have deducted any days that I used a different setup for the day), and my Vaporesso GT coils I have no idea (they are new to me)... I use them less but they have been going for at least a month (mostly about 4hrs a day, and a few full days mixed in). I expect the Vaporesso GT coils to last maybe as long as the m17's or longer. I vape 30% VG/70% PG and I am a low wattage vaper... nautilus coils at 14W, m17's at 10-11W and Vaporesso GT's at 20-21W. I average about 21 7-10 second direct lung hits per hour.
    How many ml do you vape per day? That would matter in how long coils last. I think vg content would too. I’m at about 90 to 95% vg as I’m sensitive to pg. My atlantis coils last two to three weeks depending on how many mods I use. I vape about 20 ml per day.

    I had to mix up more base today, used some 2014 frozen nic from Wizard Labs, tastes great, color is just a bit pale yellow. Not bad for 6 yrs old.
    I’m vaping on WL nic from 2013 and it’s great. And that nic stayed in my basement untouched for over a year before I froze it.

    180 days, nice! I was hoping that was possible. Of course I know I can't count on the same. I'm just going to get what my cheap, er, frugal self is comfortable with and hope for the best. No sense in going overboard when I've got lots of kanthal and rayon.
