Hi all, new to the forums, got a unique Smok build and love it.

[HigherStateD]

@GOMuniEsq I had a clear acrylic case with uv reactive liquid cooling at one point.

OP, smok may have a not so great rep, but as long as it works for you that's what matters. As for the drip tip, I had a similar issue with a few attys. You need a slightly thicker, but same ID o-ring.

Oh, and my big watt vape sits at 230w preheat, 160w sustained.
I prefer a single cell squonk at about 70, with a substantial coil for a daily driver. Three batteries and three 10mL bottles a day.

Sounds like you're putting the 'mod' back in mod.

Thing is it is still costing much less than smoking was costing me and I prefer vaping, the aim is to reduce to 0mg eliquid but that’s a way off. I quite like the research and tweaking the vape, I used to build custom pcs, so it’s just a passing fad to keep me occupied.

Fair play, sounds like youve got it all planned out!
My current aim is to make a mechanical squonker out of wood. Was considering going the whole hog and fitting a board and making it regulated, but as this will be my first attempt at building a mod from scratch I'm thinking a mech will be much easier to begin with and I can always work my way up to building a regulated one, as time and money permit lol so far I've priced the mech at costing me £36 (including shipping) plus the cost of the wood. Going to use a scrap piece first to see how it works out before paying out for a decent piece. Woods a damn site more expensive in the UK than in the US....unfortunately lol

Yeah I did spend a bit of time looking at mechs, it may be something I would try in the future. For now I will stick to this, I think the mechs take a bit more of a commitment but from what I have read they are well worth the effort.

Yeah unfortunately my mod doesn’t have the ability to charge the batteries so I have to charge them externally, hence the need for so many

Hello and welcome. It is best to charge them in a dedicated charger and keep them together. Do a bit of research on here about having batteries "married". It is always best to have backups for your gear. Again, welcome to the forum.

Hi, many thanks. Yes I did come across this during my research, and I have ‘married’ the batteries. They are all kept in seperate containers and in their ‘married’ trio as my mod is a 3 battery mod.

Welcome! You certainly found the right place. Love the LEDs in your tank, would be great when you're clubbing and the your whole face lights up when you puff...

Within a couple of weeks it will look a little better, with the tank I have there is mesh around the coil, currently the mesh is silver but I am replacing it with black mesh, then when the LEDs are installed in the bottom of the tank the whole tank will glow red. The pics below are of an identical tank to mine and also a pic of the tfv8 tank with lights on, my tank will be a combination of both once it’s complete.

Congratulations on giving up the fags!

I always cover up permanently on LEDs I can't turn off or disconnect with tape. Even the wee ones that indicate activity on an ethernet socket!

Each to their own 8)

I think with LEDs, people either love or hate them. I quite like them, plus everything matches with me, my pc is black with red LEDs, my car is black and red, with a black interior and red LEDs. It does mean at night when I’m going to sleep that everything has to be turned off by the plugs though lol. I can turn all the LEDs off on my vape which is a bonus.

Odd, I both love and hate LEDs, for a variety of reasons.
You mentioned cars, I've definitely installed cold cathode Fluorescence under the dash in the foot wells, tied into the Master interior dimmer switch before though. For a friend.

Hi and welcome,
It's a very pretty fashion accessory.

But how does it vape?

Cheers

Welcome to ECF
Setup looks sharp and you aren't smoking. Kudos
