Does any topper work well on them in your opinion? The one I had I lost the spring in and still tried to use it a couple times anyway. I think that's why my experience wasn't great. I want one that's 18350 but then I'm figuring I'd have to carry a set of batteries everywhere I went for a total of 3 lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I have the ASTRO and it takes 18650 and 18350 (when smaller) I LOVE it. I carry it everywhere and yes it will take most tanks (I have an adaptor that goes from 510 to whatever the other is. I usually have a Vivi Nova on it (no adaptor needed with it or a protank or dripper) but if I want to put a t2 on it (I actually love the t2's) or an Evod I just use the adaptor

There is some kind of underlying flavor in the pawns, i can see why that might not appeal to some but it doesn't bother me. That throat hit just really does it for me, and it seems that so far the flavors are nice and strong-it's the kind of thing that can keep me off cigs. I'm still blown away by how much I liked that gambit-never thought an apple pie vape would appeal that much to me.

I'm waiting for Brettweer to post his thoughts on the Lucena! I have high hopes for that one.

I think I'm gonna thin out my collection some more, I really want to just be left with things that really do it for me. I have to admit that a few months ago I got really stressed and got some cigs, and ever since that I've broken down and smoked here and there which I really don't want to do. I don't even understand it because I don't even like the taste or smell but it's what i do when i'm not getting enough "punch" from vaping. I think I really need to figure out what devise will give me the most oomph too. Will a mechanical MOD give me a more powerful hit than my MVP does?
Yes, but on a mech your heat is governed by the resistance of your coil. So its always gonna be in that 3.7v range, you have to change resistance to fiddle w/ overall output. A mech w a .5 ohm coil is gonna hit harder than a provari set to 13 watts...

A .5 ohm coil, so that's a sub ohm then right? Doesn't that make really hot vapor? I like mine kinda medium hot-wise. I heard that sub ohm reduces flavor?

It's hard to get some to understand that. I have a VV device and have used carto tanks on it. Tested the difference in the way juices taste different from dripping to tanks. Man there's no comparison imo. I guess most ppl have to find out for themselves. I know I will never use tanks again. I don't even like Kayfuns anymore.

how do you find out about these? I never get a notification

I just randomly see them on the Ahlusion thread and let you all know :) No notifications, I don't believe. I think some over there just randomly add things to cart every day to see if there's a discount LOL.

You seem to like all the same stuff as me, lol. You probly like your mech toppers at between .8 - 1.5 as well, lol. Some liquids are funky tastin below 1.5(melons, berries, a lot of the fruitier ones). The key to bein happy w a mech is havin an rda and plenty of different kinds of wire so you can find your personal sweet spot

I guess the REO is really the best answer. once i get coil building down i'll get one with a reomizer topper. Then i suppose i can just redo the wicking daily and rebuild the coil every week or two or i've seen some say they only do it once a month.

well...i use a protank with a 2.0 coil mainly, sometimes 1.8 or 2.5.
I have this IGO but I still haven't done a lot of coil building, but I have a coil someone made me and i just got some cotton and wire. I love the taste but hate the fiddling and the IGO is messy too.

It's pretty good, but it doesn't pack a punch like fifth rank does. I think you're really going to be wowed by that one! At any rate, with Lucena, I'm getting a lighter gentle peach. The rummy notes seem to be more dominant. Not really getting the hazelnut, which is good for me because I don't care for nutty vapes. My first reaction to this one was it may need a little steep. Don't get me wrong, I like it, unique flavor, but it didn't wow me like fifth rank. Probably not fair to compare, but after fifth rank I'm waiting for other five pawns flavors to smack me in the face, haha. I'm still on the fence with Lucena.

Thanks for the post on Quick Nic Firephly-lots of reading-Im intrigued with this vendor now. (Another to add to my list)

Also, I think I am the only one on this thread that hasn't yet tried TPR!!!!

you and me both, i had some burly and candy from a trade but it was so mild to me traded it. i guess i'm the only weird one that got no flavor there and it makes me afraid to try others. but i have heard great things about them for so long.
