I forgot to ask, are the following vendors reliable? Are you products genuine and what do you guys know about them?

freedomsmokes
vapordna
vapenw

Even I have heard of VaporDNA and I live in Australia. Some of the big Youtube reviewers get their prices and list urls leading to VaporDNA in the description of their videos; therefore, I say it's safe. The only reason I have not ordered from them because it'll end up expensive for me (AUD$ rate plus shipping = I might as well buy a high end mod from an online based Aussie store x_x)

I have juices here that lay in the back of the cupboard because they tasted like cardboard in a tank.
Everything thing tastes like cardboard to my right now because I have vaper's tongue :(

No, that's being unfair. Actually I can not taste anything at all from my vapes so I'm using juices I did not like. Luckily I did not throw them out earlier. Day 11 with vaper's tongue :(

I only have the x cube 2 and then 2 RDAs and 2 tanks (these are just gathering dust.)

Every time I get something up to date, my previous items get passed along to the other half who uses them til they die. By which point I find something else I like and it all begins again :)

I loved the evic. OH still does. It's simple to use but provides all the power you are likely to need at this point in time.

VapeNW is American. I was just having a look on there. Not sure about the others.

I currently have, unboxed, 2 mods, 2 tanks, a Coil Master 521 Tab and Coil Master DIY Kit. I'm just waiting for my taste buds to come back to life.

Where are the vendors based? I'm surprised actually that they are good. I expected a big STAY AWAY. I was always told that if it seems too good to be true it probably is and these prices are a-frigging-mazing.

If you were to buy a new device online, where would you generally buy? There are so many vendors it boggles my mind. I take it the gear from the above vendors is reliably authentic? Oh, I'm so untrusting. ;)

I suspected I would be advised to go with the Evic. I much prefer the aesthetics of the Smok Micro but the Evic seems to suit my needs better at the moment. Hell, I might get them both. I have a list of devices that I plan to own at some point actually. Here it is.


VPark VBox 30w (just because it’s so damn cute)
EVic VTC Mini
Subox or Topbox Mini
Nebox
Reuleaux RX200
Smok Micro One
EGo One Mega and Mini (for on the go/doesn’t matter if I lose/kill it)

I LOVE your collection btw. How long did you build it up over?
MyFreedomSmokes is in Carolina, VapeNW is in Washington (state, not DC). I don't remember about VaporDNA. As for where I buy my gear, I buy a lot from VapeNW as they usually have excellent pricing. But I also use Vapecrawler to find the best prices, once I have settled on what I want, and check out the dealer if I don't know them. I like your list, there's some good gear on there.

As to my collection, I have been working on it a while. Actually, the photo is just (some of) the regulated boxes, and I haven't been doing them long. The oldest (to me) is the Snow Wolf, about a year and a half. I went from vape pens to mechanical mods because, back in the day, there were no regulated mods better than 15 watts and I needed more power. I have been collecting mech mods longer and have gathered one or two of them:
20160120_201121[1].jpg

For a rarity, I'm only waiting on 4 mech mods in vape mail at the moment, a Fuhattan (authentic), a Tree of Life/Elm combo (clone), a Vanilla (clone) and a Fakir's FX22/Troy2 combo (authentic, if it ever gets here from Turkey, I ordered it before Christmas.) Oh, yes, and I have another RX200 coming from VapeNW. Yes, I have shinyitus, what can I say. And I want to be prepared for Vapocalypse :)

MyFreedomSmokes is a great place to buy DIY supplies! They have a lot of flavors, and mixing equipment. Personally, I have had GREAT experience with their nicotine too! Vapeocalypse has been in the works since I started, and I laid 500ml of 100mg nic in the freezer, unopened. Just started using it, and it is crystal clear and smells perfectly clean.

You can get a 15% discount at MyFreedomSmokes with this code: FriendBuy Lander and I get some kind of credit for it as well. I just had to re-signup there, as they changed software and required re-registration. Bon Appetit!

So THIS is why I can't taste my e-liquids? What the hell has happened to my tongue? I had assumed I had a batch of crappy coils or something. ALL of my e liquids literally taste the same. I get a slight taste of fruit.. or something, but that's all. How long does this last?

I have a few bottles in a bunch of different brands. None of them are rated highly here but I could taste them before, now, not so much. I have Litejoy (I know, lots of people say they are terrible but I like some of the flavours), Apollo, Hangsen, Vampire Vape (Uggh, never again), Cig-E and T Juice. All are fruit flavours. Perhaps I need to expand my flavour range?

Some people find that trying a flavour very different than their usual favours can help break vapers tongue.

I've never experienced it but when I had the cold, elements dripper series, frost. Was all I could taste. It's an uber powerful mint. It can be tanked too despite the name. It's actually far too harsh in a dripper IMO.

If you have a kix store nearby, they stock some of the elements range or you can get them all on vape club.com.

It might help. If you do get any of the elements range, use an older coil. It has a very high sugar content and can eat through coils. They are delicious though
