Do vape shops typically do trade ins?
Not that I know of.

Opinionated said:
As far as tanks go with factory coils, there is the Uwell Crown 3 that is very popular that everyone swears by.
I can only vouch for the original Crown tank. I never bothered trying the Crown 2 or 3 because of mixed reviews.

I keep seeing the Uwell crown 3 being recommended and was earlier recommended it on here. I saw some reviews saying they are riddled with leaks though, which is why I threw away my sub tank out of frustration back when they first came out.

My son has a Wismec reaux tank, he loves the ceramic coils and swears by the flavor and has never once complained of leaking..

It's what I put him on when he went to start vaping a year ago and it's what he's used ever since. ..

You might could get that one...

As I said, my experience is limited to the original Crown. I ended up with three of the tanks, none leak. On one of them the ratcheted air ring is no longer ratcheted, so I sometimes have to manually adjust it where I like it.

I use the 0.5 ohm coils and they last 4 weeks or longer. Love the top fill. 4 ml capacity. I don't like metal mouthpieces, so I replaced it with a delrin one.

I never bothered with the other versions of the Crown because I have had such good experience with the original. Mixed reviews on the other versions. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

Welcome back. I would go with the Smoant Cylon mod. The Battlestar is an excellent mod but they had a manufacturing run with problems and I haven't heard that the recall has caught them all yet. The Cylon is a great device. I know Opinionated mentioned me knowing about tanks, but I'm pretty set on single coil rtas and have a Freemax Fireluke that has surprised with great flavor and coil life, also has a very good rba head. If I were going to try a new drop in coil tank I'd go with the Horizon Tech Arco 2.

It sounds like you are looking for a more sub0hming experience, which well, I don't have much experience with. I will throw Teslacigs's hat in the ring for a very reliable track record and a great powerboard without having the expense of a DNA mod while still doing TC fairly well.

Don't "trade in" your old gear, even if you could. Depending on what you have it could be worth something. Could get verified in the classifieds and/or resell somewhere else, depending on what gear you have. I'd take a look at what you have and then see what things are going for on various sites, some old gear is highly prized and still quite valuable.

Best of luck with your new setup.

I'll check those out as well. Thanks! :)
The only worthwhile stuff I have would probably be my Mirandus Mod and rba. The mirandus mod has a craft vapery engraving (just a small portion above the main engraving) from a thing they did together. I'd have to polish it back up and inspect it, but they probably aren't too interesting haha.

Classic mechs are highly sought after.

Ive got to make it through this month before i can do much jumping...
Hear that, my last utility bill was ridiculous. Damn state allowed them to raise the electric rates and raise the delivery charge 100%. Last cold snap we had many people's pipes froze because they couldn't afford to turn their heat up.

don't go shooting us in the foot now...probably the only person on earth who might want that mirandus mod would be, perhaps, me...:smokie::angel: :rolleyes:


:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Once I clean it up, I'll let you know lmao. I think there is minor damage to the lock ring due to tightening it too much and having to use pliers as well as a ding or two to the bottom press button. But honestly if it goes to a good place, I would probably just give it away for the cost of shipping.

I am returning from smoking myself. I ised to use mechanicals myself until the maintenance got to be too much. I was working 2 jobs at the time. I have a problem with the smok tanks top opening in my pocket and leaking everywhere. The new ones have a locking button though and that may have solved that issue. I have an istick pico which I love. You have to bring extra batteries with it though but I like how small it is. I have a Crown 1 tank on it which I love. I have heard the 3 is really good. Since I have no issues with the 1 I feel no need to upgrade. I I also have a sigelei J80 which is a great little mod. Internal battery (forget the mah, but lasts a while) and fits a 25mm tank Do want a 2×18650 device Probably going with a minikin 2. I have heard good things about them.

Minikin 2 is a great device, but I wouldn't call it pocket friendly.
