They taste like what they are named, but I would prefer to eat them, not vape them. :facepalm:
I got some of almost all of Nicoticket line (a few I knew I wouldn't like) that are steeping before I even try them. I figure if I am going to like a juice, it would be from Nicoticket. I have hit 3 that I really like (Wakonda, The Virus, & The Switch), but The Swich was a "short run" and currently not available. :(

.

Can't think of anything I need or want at the moment. Most of the current devices don't go low enough for me, they normally start at 7w, which is toward my high end, I generally vape 5w to 6w (3.0v to 3.6v). On toppers all I am using now days are the Sophia. I have gotten off the equipment band wagon, too many new things coming out weekly. Offer still stands and you can send me something down the road if you like, just don't know what.

So you just need a device with step down or variable voltage then .. do you want my Semovar clone? :D Haven't used it since I reviewed it (what else is new :p), and it comes will all 18XXX series batteries :D Its variable voltage and wattage :)

Girl you better give something a go, always coming in here to tease us with what you almost got, and thinking about getting. :p Well, I got it, so it will be the battle of the 20 wattish devices between this and the Kamry 20 ... who will win??
Well i have a reputation to uphold and I try not to break my status quo of lurker.....but I have to come in with a tease every now and then. You know me.....you can't always see me....BUT I'm always here :blink:

2 things, I want to know what battery is going in it, and that battery is not easily replaceable once it's time is done.

From a no name Chinese company or on a clone of sorts I would be with you, but this is made by SMOK and I doubt very highly that they put anything janky in it. Like the MVP with built in batteries, these devices don't just die after a couple of months, they usually last a couple of years unless they are otherwise defective. :)

    Valid point, my 1st MVP2 I pifed to a work colleague, and he is still using it 18 months later, it is battered to hell, but still going strong, but 22 watts isn't enough for me anyway, I actually want something else for the subtank, not the zero, as even though looks prefect on it, it is to nice and heavy for work mod, so the search is on :)

    Was it press fit, or does the 510 positive screw hold it in place? If it's a screw thing there's hope, if pressed you need a new insulator. I just got around to building mine today, but it's just OK on my first build. I'll try a different build in a couple of days, maybe a spaced coil with rayon.

    I believe it was press fit. I have no idea where to get a new insulator.

    I just played the Lucky Draw game for the first time, and won $10! Beginners luck, I guess. :)

    It's almost as good as winning the lottery, since every dollar I spend on vape gear has a lot of guilt attached to it (vaping is my guilty pleasure, lol). $10, guilt-free - yay!

    I don't have a lot of experience with FC (I shop more at that other place :oops:), so I'd love to get some recommendations from ya'll as to the best of FC.

    I'm probably looking at picking up another mech (I have a Nemmy, a Stingray, and a Paps) or another RTA/RDA (I have a Taifun, several Kayfun Lite/+/v2s, a Rose v2, a Fogger 4.1, an Orchid V4, a Magma, a Mutation X, an Origen, a Veritas, a Quasar, an Omega, a Aerotank Mega, and a Nautilus).

    What do you consider FC's most high-quality pieces, and what is missing from my existing collection that I should not be without?

    Thanks!

    You can probably get it at fatdaddyvapes.com. I'm sure he won't have a listing for an N22 clone, but if you email him the picture and exact dimensions he probably has something that will work. That being said, between the 5-6 bucks for the insulator and 2-3 for shipping you're probably better off getting another one. Hopefully from a different manufacturer. Sorry :(

    Can't answer all your questions, but I'll tell you what's next on my list. The Tobeco Aqua V2 and the SXK Stingray X, both known good quality with rave reviews here. I think the Tobeco Aqua is only sold out of their USA warehouse, but the SXK SR-X they have in both. I'm sure you will get many more suggestions soon. Happy guilt free purchasing :)

    I was also going to suggest the Tobeco Aqua but as halfempty said you can only get that one from the US warehouse and you can't use your happy money there. :(

    There is another Aqua V2 clone in the China warehouse however, I don't know who makes that, or what the quality is like. Overall I have yet to hear any bad feedback on any Aqua V2 clone, not including factory defects of course. I also didn't see any Kayfun V4's on your list, so maybe that one as well. Their Marquis RDA is supposed to be good quality as well, so those are three choices for ya. :)

    As for mechs, inswva loves one their SMPL clones but .. I can't remember which one it is, and I think FC has a couple of them.

    The other US warehouse site may still have their Aqua V2 clone on sale for $14

    The more expensive copper one is on my list (I think there are a couple - not the cheaper one). Inswva says that it's the one with the good switch. He wasn't too fond of the switch on the brass one - I have a feeling it's like the black one I have. It's not too bad, but it required a little polishing and sanding to get it to function smoothly. Problem I was having was the switch didn't press in all the way on parts of it, so you'd have to find just the right spot to press by twirling the mod around. But just a few minutes of sanding and polishing fixed that right up. :thumb: The switch design is based on V2 of the OG, so at least the "bones" are good. The copper and brass are clearcoated, which I like, but if patina is your thing, then you'd want to remove it. I may get the brass one too later, since it's so easy to fix, but I would like to try one with a "good" switch, just to see what that's like.

    Oh, and you'll always wanna have a penny handy. ;)

    My black SMPL is like driving a Dodge Ram (built like a Hemi truck). My copper Vapelyfe is like driving a Lexus (super-smooth touch switch). My First is like driving a Honda Fit (gets the job done). :laugh:
