One of the best deals and buys i got from Bruce was the Flip V3.

it really does, what's the term?

Oh yea, hits like a freight train both vaping and if you need to defend yourself.....

I mainly use it with a dripper due the the constant voltage drive....


it chucks the vapor man!!!!!!!

My first entry of the day means I get to shop. I want this today!

Dark Horse RDA

Good morning everybody!

excellent choice IMO it is one of the best rda's you can own. it will ruin you to much if not all the others Ha Ha!

If you find out what you're talking about, lemme know, cuz I sure don't lol yeah, it's the nichrome he was using, so maybe that comes pre-welded??? <shrug>

no. its just another type of wire, less ohms per foot than kanthal and is a softer alloy. tricky to work with. it will melt if you fire it too high, once its wicked it behaves better

I also felt I needed something that looked like a cigarette when I first started. I spent my day running from charger to charger trying to keep batteries charged and dealing with the cartridges.

Some still want that and that is fine but I got to where I would tell them that you don't inhale with an e cig the way you do a real one so the device can look like whatever you want.

You don't even have to like the looks of the device as long as it does the job. I was a little hesitant with the looks of the E Mech but it just fits so well for me that I got over it and started thinking it rather cute after a day or so.

CASAA member here too.

I didnt smoke when I started vaping. I am in a very small minority of vapers as I started it as a hobby, hadnt smoked in 10 years, I never wanted anything close to a cigarette looking thing. I was having a conversation with some fellow vendors at the state capitol yesterday and he started on this subject and had said I dont know why anyone that doesnt have a habit would take one up... I laughed and raised my hand and said "thats me" Ha Ha! always liked electronics and mechanical stuff, chemistry and the like so for me its just something fun to do that occupies my time

2/20 entry 3

Only kanthal for me as it is all that I've tried. As usual, I went overboard when I first bought kanthal and got 250 feet of 32 gauge when I started to rebuild my protank heads. On top of the error of this massive over-purchase, I didn't consider that I would want thinker gauge for other future atts/rbas, so yeah, I'm good on 32 gauge for a while.

I am also kind of obsessive about using what I have purchased, so even though it would make sense to get some 26 gauge for a dripper, I just keep using the 32 because I feel I must use it!

I've never seen such universal love for a product as the Subtank. It must be great!
Kanger Subtank

best device kanger ever made. it is a win win device and they constantly sell out... and then they came out with the Kbox.... sigh

"YOU"[/B] . . . AND - I agree, when that contest thread started it was different then most, but I do believe the "community atmosphere" is still going strong, although there is not as much "Chit-Chat" as before . . . Matter of fact, to be very honest - IMO - The original contest went as far as it could, as with any contest (even as this one will) where it is based on posting "Stuff" from a vendors site, especially after the first few times it can get quite tedious - if not outright boring for a number of reasons . . . Also - from what little I know (which usually is not much ), most contest threads are very limited to what can and cannot be done because of ECF Supplier/Vendors TOS and . . . As such - Based on what ECF wants done, usually "Chit Chat" is kept in one thread where people talk about the vendor/suppliers product line, including forming a special community and then having a contest in another thread . . . So - I guess it comes down to and just depends on what the supplier/vendor and the contest helper can do to keep people interested and on task while keeping the "Chit Chat" alive too . . . Just Sayin' . . .


EDIT: AND - As "You" probably know by now, I stay out of a lot of contest threads that get "SLAMMED" by just some contestants so they can WIN - NOT NICE ! ! ! Just Sayin' . . .

I think alot of us have stopped doing alot of the giveaways/contest for the very same reason.
The old chit chat of old seems to be gone or lost due to the multi posts of a few....

I find I PM more than I use to when I want more info about certain things or venders, since some cross mentions are not allowed....

But then, I could just be remembering something that never was. snickers. oldtimers and all.

Nice to see you over here Uncle, I miss alot of your stuff.....


Oh yea, not a entry, just .... chat.....

I've quite enjoyed this thread, and there's one other. I participate in more, but do get the sad sinking feeling that people are only interested in entries... I want something with content. I'm sick of memes.

On thing I wished you carried were the higher-end (if I can use such a term) iSticks like the 30w and, this, the 50w. Adjusted to RMS instead of Mean and better threading. They are still cheap compared to some of the other electronic mods out there, but they do seem to be popular...

I can get the 30 watt units, still no access to the 50's. let me know if you want one... wait, I think I already did? didnt I Ha Ha!

They sure are popular. I have been an mvp2 user for a long time and I am wondering if I should switch over to these isticks or get one of the new 30 watt mvp mods? I love the sturdy feel of my mvp and the battery does not seem to wear out over many months of use. I'd love to know how the istick batteries will last over the long haul, but we may need time to tell us that. The size might be small for my hand as well for the istick, as the mvp just fits my grip well. Anyone have an opinion on the sturdiness of the istick? Does it fee like it can take some wear and tear?

have you considered the IPV mini or smaller wattage sigeleis ?

2-20 entry 4

I've been a big kanger fan since I started vaping (still use my protanks all the time) and plan on getting the Subtank when I can. Happy to hear you ringing endorsement of it! Just curious about your mention of the kbox (since I don't know much about it)...is your sigh meaning that you love it or hate it? Ha! Sorry, I couldn't tell!!!

[remark]

I have considered those too and may get one, but for my bread and butter mod I prefer internal batteries for ease of use. The mods I use the least, even though I like them, tend to be the ones that I have to put batts in. Like my vamo; great mod, but doesn't get as much use as my mvp.

2/20 entry 2

That big buddha does like awesome so I had to read about it. Seems it is really for 26650 devices (I only have 18650/350). I would love that capacity, plus it looks really cool. I can just imagine this atop a 650 mah ego!

youre right about that. (the 10ml capacity and easy deck build are ++) they look ok on many of the box mods but vape pens and smaller devices it does look kinda silly Ha Ha!

the sigh was because kanger spanked it out of the park w/the subtank line and then produced a Li-po device. I know they did it to keep up with the Isticks and mvp's etc ( I am personally not a fan of Li-po disposable mods just my ) It would have made me happy if they had made a 18650 device capable of 5 to 50 watts again just my

edit: I have always liked Kanger over aspire... and again just my
like juice flavors everyone is different and taste and product use/likes is subjective.
thanks for entering the contest!

Don't really know why, but I perfer the batteries that I can change out than waiting for the day the lipo dies. Like with the 808s and egos batteries, I had lots of luck with most of them but some seem to die faster than others and their life is limited no matter what. Yes batteries have to be replaced but the unit does not, unless a chip or something goes bad. Why I have my mods along with everything else.... mmm 4 track, 8 track, reel to reel, Phonograph and LP records as well.... I hear the phonograph is making a come back due to better sound quality. snickers. Old school is the best school....

Some do, most don't. Not sure I can mention names of those that do, but some are as good as you in their chatting and just relaxing with the posters.... Others post their contests and that is it til it's over....
