I'm in a real sweet spot at the mo with my setup, 1 isub G, 1 ijust2, 1 arctic and 1 on the way. 1 istick 50w, 1 vt60, 1 coolfire 4 and a Penny 35w in cherry on the way. Everything works nice and easy no fuss at all. The thing I'd like to see is rebuildable bases for the attys.
Still got some old bits and pieces stashed away but I don't think they'll ever get used.
kayfun v4: https://www.fasttech.com/product/2066200 probably the best for rebuidable, or for normal tanks then the Kanger Subtank, you can rebuild the iSub coils but it is very fiddly, you have to muck about taking the old coils apart: http://..................com/threads/isub-g-coil-head-rebuild-it-can-be-done.86826/ read a bit further down for an easier way to disassemble them.

I have a kayfun 4 that doesn't impress at all, used it maybe 3 times. And I have a subtank left which although decent enough the build quality just isn't there.
As for rebuilding the isub, yes I've seen that but looks a bit to fiddle for my big fingers and bad eyes. Cheers tough Bob.

I normally try for about 1 ohm on the KF4 and quite like them for Mouth to Lung, don't think I will be messing about with the iSub coils either :laugh: just been trying out the new iSub Apex and it is another contender to go with the Crown & Triton, and top filling it is a doddle even with the glass droppers (shame it's only 3ml)

My arctic that's on the way is the 7ml arctic style from FT. Got some coils ordered as well. I've tried the tv 60 in temp mode but not over impressed so I'm sticking to .5ohm coils in my tanks now and all seems good. The ijust2 still has a .1 - .2 depending on the vt60 but at 25w that's good. The vt60 keeps changing it's mind as to what's on it, so I have to take the atty on and off now and then. Might get the kayfun 4 out to try again.

That's one of the problems with some Chinese TC mods, they don't keep settings well, I have one that depending on what I have on top will keep asking if it is a new coil

But aren't all mods Chinese?
Not all, but those that aren't can be quite expensive, a good one is the Beyond Vapes Solara DNA40 which can be had for less than a ton these days is made in the USA, another is the Railbox made in France (expensive if new), the point I was trying to make was, some Chinese ones are better made than others, think HCigar, Sigelei & Yihi for TC amongst some others, Joyetech doesn't come in that bracket :(

Hi veterans :) I need an advice :)
I am looking for compact dual 18650 box, something to carry on to construction site. Now, FT is flooded with box mods of all kinds and prices, so im really stucked on whatbto buy. Id prefer mech, buz if there are some sturd regulated out there, i wouldnt mind them either. My daily vape is Nextgen ar 1.3Ohm an around 15w, but my days are long, up to 20hrs, so i want a mod that doesnt mind the dust, getting wet from the rain and can sustain occasional falling out from my pocket. I was looking for incubus or something similar, but im not too sure what to buy. It has to be dual 18650. That is mandatory. Thanks for all advices :)

I keep looking at the solara, that's a nice mod. But when funds are tight I always make the mistake of buying cheap ones that aren't too good before buying the better ones.
Yes, that's a problem, it is better to save up for a decent mod rather than keep buying cheap & nasty ones which end up sitting in the drawer unused - an alternative to the Solara is the HCigar VT40, both George and I have one of those and it is probably a bit cheaper than the Solara, it's Chinese made but has a proper DNA40 large screen chipset in it, in fact their new VT200 (DNA200) is not much dearer.

Don't know about the falling out of the pocket bit, but have a look at the Cloupor T6 (26650 batteries) or the T8 (18650 batteries) combine them with a skin to help keep out dust & water - not sure if FT still have them, but they might be available elsewhere, your only other alternative would be to find a home made Hammond box mod with either a SX chipset or Raptor inside, most other things would not survive a construction site. You could try asking in the Modders section to see if there is anyone near to you that can help, most of us in here are across the pond in the UK.

No rush Bob, I'm happy with what I've got for now. Just coils and juice for a while now. I'm trying to line a deal up now for an istick 100 on AAEC. He doesn't want it, but I do but don't want to buy. But someone wants to buy my Runt for the same cash. So I'm trying to set up a 3 way deal.
There's also a snowwolf 200 on there, new and wrapped for £60 but out of my league.

Looking on AAEC, it looks like Gearbest China are still mucking about, hopefully this is not affecting the UK Warehouse

Some rumours about GB selling clones and passing them off as authentics aswell, Bob.

That's what I was referring to, mind you I think it was probably a genuine error, some idiot put the wrong items in the bin and the picker was just doing as they normally do - the main problem is there is obviously no QC on checking the items match the order before packaging, I had a wrongly picked item once from FT earlier last year when we were still on Mechs, and I got a Mech instead of a tank, the mech was worth more :)

Nah! I don't think it's true Bob.
One guy panicked on the rumours and mailed them saying,he didn't want the order unless they were 100% genuine,and they instantly refunded his money.But that could have been the language barrier.
Yes, I saw that one this morning - might have been 1 or 2 dodgy items (the bulb at the end for 1) in that order, so they cancelled the entire order as per his request, appears a few got the clone of the Harvest, that's what makes me think the bin had been filled incorrectly or that GB had received the clones in error and hadn't checked them properly, still won't buy from their China Warehouse.
