.... I am enjoying except the battery is way too big and heavy....it feels like a heavy cigar in my hand so it is horrible to take anywhere and I feel stupid with this big thing..... I don't vape mine too much in public cause I feel stupid with this big cigar looking thing so I just take my little evod out with me and that just doesn't do it for me anymore although I do like the little pro tank 2 mini I have for it. I know I have to get more tanks and definitely another smaller looking battery but there are so many choices and prices even in the mini batteries that I am trying to get some idea what I want. All I know so far is the more I pay for a battery or tank the better it tastes. Thank you so much for trying to help me.

Think about how silly smoking a real cigarette looks, considering what is known about the health effects......:)

Vape what works for you in public and let people question you or stare...you know it's better for you, much smarter than a cig. I'm likely older than you (much older) and have long since lost any concern of what people think, so it's easier for me. Keep in mind how much better vaping is for YOU, and you might even be able to help convert a few smokers....:thumb:

Example, the first Istick would fire anything under 1.0 ohm and the Subtank and Atlantis 0.5 ohm coils would not work with it. I don't know how many people got a istick and a subtank or atlantis and were disappointed that it would not work with the 0.5 coil.
I know that you meant it "would not" fire....

Interestingly, another contest just closed with just such a combination as the prize: iStick 20w and Atlantis. C'mon, really?

it boils down to where and what you want to do in the vape world. almost everyone wants flavor and some clouds and flavor, there are some devices that give both.
I think people that have quit smoking that move on in the vape world spend more on gear supply and juice/juice making than they did smoking but it also provides a hobby and recreation as well so it can be a trade off.

If you were to try building and it suited you I believe your clearos and spinner batteries would gather dust except for certain occasions.
if you stay with clearos/tank systems then a move to a subtank etc. will provide you a greater avenue for your vaping wants and needs my :2c:

note: some vape shops will let you try equipment as they do with juice, just depends on where you are located and what shops will do to gain customers. next time you go to a B&M ask them if they will let you try some stuff :)

I don't know that I want to start building coils....I guess I am a little bit scared of the safety of something I build to smoke...lol. But seriously, you are right, it is a hobby even when not building coils...I am always reading about the best battery or the best juice because I enjoy it so much and know it can only get better. I never thought to ask at the local vape shop to try a sub ohm tank. The shop that is close by that I go to deals more in juices and they seem to have a big selection of mechanical mods but it is a small shop and when they get something new in, they sell out pretty quick so there is not a big selection at any one time. Thank you for the information and I just might give sub ohm a try.

I read stuff but saw Tick rambling again and thought about how I ramble and ended up forgetting all the other stuff I read except for the stuff about Mr Owl.

I have a new little Taifun thanks to Bruce *hugs* Will be very careful as to what juices go into this one.

Has been a great day!!! Thanks again Bruce!!!

Lol ..I have been smoking for 50 years so I don't think you are much older than me ...maybe I am much older than you. I guess that is why I feel dumb with the big cigar type mod.....I am not young where it looks sexy......more is I am old and it looks crazy. My son almost fell off his chair when he saw me whip that big thing out!!! Don't get me wrong, my kids are thrilled that I am not smoking but I think they would rather see me with a cute little one. I just got caught up in the moment when I bought it. I was so mad when I lost my other one that I only had for a week and they had absolutely no selection at the vape shop so I bought it.

I was bummed out the other day,i didn't think to check out your site until after i had ordered a few things.I usually buy 99% of my stuff off ebay so i always just check there first,after buying a few things,i looked at your site and found the same items i bought,at pretty much the same price,and from what i've read,sounds like your quick on the shipping,i cant say that about the people i just bought from,1 printed a shipping label the day after my purchase,but didn't send it out until a week later,and the other took 5 days to ship out.I have your site bookmarked now,so the next hardware purchase i make,i will check your site first,ebay is starting to cancel alot of vape related items anyway,plus i'm getting tired of waiting forever to get my stuff haha.

ebayers will do that, from what I hear they wait for an order to come in then order the item from a wholesaler and then send it to you, ( thus a 5 day delay in shipping time ) either that or they are set up on a drop ship system, of course they wont tell you that up front because they want the sale...

At least I hope it is #4, ok hubby is feeling more himself now, threatening to leave ama even if it means he has to walk home. got the last of my vape mail in today, and it includes one thing I really really wish more vendors carried, battery boxes for the 26650 cells.

had them on my site... 14500's, 18350's, 18500/18650 and 26650's

I really think they size the customer up too. If you are an experienced vaper, who knows what the product is, they probably give you a lower price, because they figure you know what price range they go for on the internet. If you are a newer vaper, who doesn't have a clue what they are looking at, they probably give you a closer price to what the original is priced at, and make you think you are getting a real deal!

I've never understood why ECFers aren't flocking to your site either. I've been buying all my stuff from you for a long time, because of the outstanding service, and great prices.

yea... we've (cactinians) had that discussion before :blink: dont get me started :laugh:

I getting ready to go find cactus hangout thread :) and I am going to subscribe to it! Earlier when you guys were talking about why more people are not here I started thinking, amd thought maybe it is because; if others are alot like me, I get stuck in a loop of my regular threads that I visit and do not look around like I should. :)

That's got to be the funniest things i have read in weeks haha,sad thing is i can definitely relate to doing things like that,and sadly having those slow moments haha.


That's the way i am,usually don't really go outside the threads that i'm a regualr in,so i never see 99% of the new threads that pop up,but i like your idea,so i will follow suit on that one.There is a great group of people in this thread,so i could see myself hanging out a bit in that thread too.

Oh boy, more Cactinians! Come on over!!!

That was great, Bruce! I have a couple suggestions, though:

1) You need a visit from your pet ...
2) ... better yet, have your pet make a loud, distracting noise such as barking or (if a cat), coughing up a hairball
3) Someone should call you on the phone in the middle...
4) ... or have your computer notify you that you have new email every minute or two
5) You need some distracting background music that's maddeningly too soft to hear clearly but loud enough that it distracts the viewer...
6) ... or have a TV on behind the camera that proves to be a distraction to you, the host.
7) Include a loud obnoxious intro scene that is at least twice the volume of the rest of your video
8) Include some sort of distracting visual in the background. It can be a poster of an annoying starlet or a computer monitor showing random pictures of zebras grazing in Africa
9) Initiate and repeatedly say an annoying catchphrase

If you were to include any or all of these in your video, I can guarantee that you will gather more views (or not!) :D

yea, Ha Ha! we have tossed that around on the home thread a bit when I made the video. I owuld like to make one like that but it would be too much work.
I dont promote my FB page or twitter account either. I just dont do the new social media thing :laugh:
the loud obnoxious guitar riffs in the start of the video will make me turn it off in a heartbeat and go to the next video... being "cool" in/on a video these days is more important than actual content

#8, is a good one. I did see a youtube vid early last year that had the young man's Mom slowly walk behind him, not even knowing what was going on in her underwear. He must have been late 20s and she had to be in her 40s. She leaned over to kiss his head, I guess and he freaked out so much that his dad came out in his underwear. Gosh, I laffed so hard. Poor guy was doing a video game review.
My brother does games and he saw this and told me to check it out. Lucky I did cause the vid was pulled later that day.

it had tons of views when I saw it. I figure his Mom and Dad may have become funny GIFs later or something.... Now these were your normal, not super fit or sexy underwear or bodies. Not bad but not the types young guys or women dream of. At least not when I was young and had fantasies. :2cool:

Hey Bruce if i win the "another istick 20w", I want one that says another on it.

That would be so cool. :blink:

Talk about a chick magnet, boy my chickens would be all over it, if I put it down by them.

Most likely even if it did not say "another", they would like it and try to peak it..........

So yes something to make people want to forward it to others .

I'll paint some june bugs on it.... :laugh:
