Assuming your picture is you, you don't look old enough to have been married 3 times

That's me, all right. And yes, I most certainly am that old :) It's not a great photo, but if you look close you'll see the grey in the beard.

Keeping hot juice off my lips is EXACTLY why I always use them with RDAs... :D

I can't taste much again; however, I'd definitely feel any splash/spit back. Luckily I've managed to avoid them with my recent builds.

Soon I'll be chucking a build into my Griffin. Does anyone have this RTA? Any suggestions?

Someone told me at some point that it's my tootle puffer builds that cause so much hot-popping, or maybe the low wattage I use (9w). I dunno; I never had that problem with tanks, only with RDAs, but having my mouth slightly offset, the way it is with either the knuckleheads or the angled adapters, prevents it completely -- the juice may still pop, but it goes straight up, can't curve around to hit my mouth. :thumbs:

@Waxxiii I've been catching up on my Youtube Vape Hardware Reviews as of recent and I found a video for the Cubis tank by PBusardo.

As with any device there will be pros and cons, but Phil likes the MTL vape gets from the tank.

Phil does good in-depth reviews, in fact it's his review on the Subox Mini which won me over. You'll remember that the Subox was my tool of choice when quitting cigarettes.

Flooding the coils causes the spitting. I do it so often I now have asbestos lips and tongue lol

We both prefer the big chug drip tips so I don't have to worry about him discovering those!

He is quite happy with my lush and I am very happy to have my supor back. Went and got a couple of new liquids to christen it properly too. I'm in vape heaven this afternoon :)

I have seen this actually. I love P Busardo's videos for very in depth technical advice and then watch folk like Rip Trippers, Suck My Mod and Indoor Smokers for overall impressions. I'm going to buy a Cubis for sure. I can pick one up for £12ish from Fasttech so it would be crazy not to. I'm also going to buy a Subtank Mini and see how I like them. I actually direct lung about 50% of the time lately but I just didn't get on with the high wattages and super huge air flow that the TFV4 needed. I'm looking to try vaping around the 15w to 30w mark so the tanks I'm planning on getting should be great for that.

I'm currently agonising over whether to buy a Nebox or Kbox120w at the same time I order the tanks. I want both but since I'm borderline broke I need to decide which one makes the most sense to buy now. I would have to wait a month or two for the next one. Any advise? I think I've decided against the Evic VTC for now.

Has anyone noticed that Fasttech are on holiday until 15th Feb? That sucks!

The Kbox for sure. I've got their 50w kbox mini, and it's a nice little mod, I'm sure the 120w is even better. I'm not sure the Nebox is variable.

The Nebox is VW and TC but no adjustable airflow. I thought it would be a nice simple little sub ohm vape to take out and about. Also it holds 10ml of liquid so it would be good to keep in my bag as a sort of spare. Plus I love how it looks. The Kbox is very similar looking actually which is what turned me on to it. I like the look of the bigger, boxier devices so not so keen on the Mini or Nano but love the Kbox. Either way I will get both, but you think Kbox first then? I would get the Kbox in red and the Nebox in baby blue. What colour is yours? Do you have a favourite mod?

My Kbox Mini is black; I have a red knucklehead driptip that almost exactly matches the red buttons and logo, and I bought a black Magma to go with it; looks great, though I really prefer a tighter draw; the Magma is *just* tolerable, so it's ok for tasting new juices; good flavor.

My favorite currently is probably my blue iPV Mini; it uses external batteries, so it's good both for the vapocalypse and not being in "time-out" when it needs charging, I just put a fresh battery in it. Only 30w, but I vape at 9w, that's fine with me. :D Got it for $30 for xmas. Other than that, I love my 2 custom-etched Coolfire IV's.

Here's the whole famn damily, though I didn't yet have the black Magma when I took that pic of the Kbox mini.

I also have a hot pink iStick30, but it rarely gets used anymore, I like all these so much. :D

It's true, whilst I like the other reviewers for their entertainment factor, I always turn to PBusardo's nitty and gritty full reviews. It was his full in-depth review which made me decide to go with the Kanger Subox Starter Kit. I had not talked to anyone else or asked for advice about vaping till after I got my mod. It was quite a leap I guess. Worth it imo.
I'm going to buy a Cubis for sure. I can pick one up for £12ish from Fasttech so it would be crazy not to.
Do remember it may take a long time for your delivery from Fasttech. @AndriaD mentioned it took her 43 days to receive her order.
I'm also going to buy a Subtank Mini and see how I like them. I actually direct lung about 50% of the time lately but I just didn't get on with the high wattages and super huge air flow that the TFV4 needed. I'm looking to try vaping around the 15w to 30w mark so the tanks I'm planning on getting should be great for that.
I get a comfortable MTL hit from the Subtank Mini V2, and later I was confident to venture into direct lung vapes. It's a good beginner tank with a nice flavorrful vape; however, average cloud production. I recently converted my Subox into my morning setup. I placed a dual coil build into it, which reads at 0.40 Ohms. I use it in the mornings at 26 watts MTL when my breathing and lungs are slightly congested.
I'm currently agonising over whether to buy a Nebox or Kbox120w at the same time I order the tanks.
Be cautious about the Nebox for I hear it leaks. I can not give an expert's opinion as I do not own one, nor am I keen on getting one. I do however like the idea of an inbuilt tank into the mod, it would be a good device to take with me when I'm out and about.

FT is having 20% off through the 7th, in case you didn't know. The Nebox is an interesting variation on a theme: the "hybrid" or "built in atomizer" mod, although most hybrids are drippers, not tanks. It's reasonably compact, heavier than you'd think from looking at it, has large juice capacity and is very pocket friendly; you'll never break the atty off at the 510 from stuffing it in a back pocket and sitting on it. While you can change coils, you can't change toppers. It does not have a 510 connection. If you like it, fine. Me, I prefer the 120.

I got another new RDA today. It was love at first sight! I got the alliance v2. I've also put my first ever Ni200 build in it. It's pretty impressive but it isn't half drinking my juice! It's a fairly big juice well but I'm only getting about 5 hits on it. They are very pleasant hits though so I guess I shouldn't complain. My collection is becoming huge.

Also looking to buy the rx200. I'm eating up the battery power in the fortnight old x cube 2. I'll pass it to the OH and upgrade for me :)

I'm loving my RX200, so much that I'm going to buy a second one.

I just tried doing a scottish roll for the first time and stuck it into my Aromamizer. I think it's working, but BAH! with vaper's tongue it's like working blind.
