I started with the V2 then the eGos then the LavaTube. In all honesty, the V2 had me sold... I was done w/ analogs within the 1st week.
It was the battery life of the V2 that put me in search of something "bigger and better". The fact that I could get the same vape through an entire battery charge that made me fall in love with the LavaTube (and the reason I'll never give up my ProVaris).

Now that the bulk of my devices are mechs, It almost feels like I've come full circle...
I haven't, I use Kicks in all of my mechs.

I like my mechs unrelated. Of course that's easy for me to say, being that I'm never without a Provari... My current practice is to run a fresh battery in a mech until it gets down to about 3.5 volts and then move it to a Provari to finish it off. It's been months since either of them has seen a freshly charged battery.

That said, if I had moved into mechs before the Provari, I'd definitely have a Kick or two...

I lucked up. There was a local B&M in town (found it after I found the V2) that sold cartos and juice by the bottle. After my initial purchase, I never made another purchase from them again. The B&M even had a flavor that was pretty close the V2's Saraha, which I really liked.

As for the madness... Perfect word for it. The Super-T ELA was supposed to be my one and only mech that would round out my vaping gear and be the last "high end" pv id have to purchase... Blahahaha... Pre-ordered in February of this year. Since then I've picked up 2 P+'s, a Noble 1 and two PAP's LUX's (and seriously considering a 3rd plus additional LUX tubes).

I blame David for this!!!

(edit... Thank's for reminding me Pete... consider the Nemesis Celeste too... Damn, what's wrong w/ me? :?:)

What the hell is this, I leave for a few minutes and I'm being talked about in the THIRD PERSON INVISIBLE?!

Also, I think I snagged a Paps v2.1 complete kit wif all da fun tubes and stuffz. Now I just have to decide to wait and see if this Friday promises anything nice for me.

Oh, and I have another Ba Gua on the way. I don't use the two I have. But they're quite beautiful. Where am I and what did you do with my top hat.

That's my problem... Nothing of mine is "going"... I can't complain, I genuinely like everything I have and would have a tough time turning any of it loose... I suppose if David redesigns the P+ line to make them shorter (my only grip about the P+ line), I'd sell the two I currently have...

How are you keeping your lux so shiny? Mine is covered with patina. Will brasso get rid of it? Also, what do you use to get any scuffs and scratch off. My wife decided to use it with her rings on and cause some scratches.

So far I've sent away a 69 Mod, EA Mod, Paps, and Gus. I liked them all for the most part...but I like what I have more. I'm sure in a month or two that will change as well if something different or better comes along. But I'll say I can't imagine anything better than a Roller, Nemesis, and Poldiac right now.

U guys r gr8, especially BA and now I see that CB is also on a stockpile mode :)

I don't have the dough to experiment... thus sticking with the Paps. So far I can't imagine myself without my Paps... the 1st one @ hand - Polished SS Paps v2.1, then the LUX happened and now awaiting the DHL tracked "Arrived at Ontario" Brushed SS Paps v2.5.
____________________________________________________________________
The Brass Ba Gua is paid for and to be shipped around end of this month. So is the Spheroid v2, paid and in USPS' forever transit. Next on target is the 22mm GP SnP with Diver and the Classic Piccolo Brushed SS with Polished end caps.

Aww, thanks. One good thing about these high-end mods is that you won't lose much money if any at all when you are experimenting...they just hold their value. I almost lost money on the Gus Telescopic...but was able to trade it for a few things and then sell off those things to get my money back.

Weird question: Do any of you have small hands?

I have several nice 14500 mods, but the only 18xxx mod I have is a Provari Mini that I picked up in the Classifieds for my roommate to use. One of the reasons I went towards mechanicals in the first place was that I wanted something small since I'm a small person with small hands, and I figured there wasn't reason for much extra space taken up on one by electronics. For those of you little people (or people with freakishly small hands; I don't discriminate), do you find a big appearance/feel difference in an 18xxx mech vs. a 14xxx mech?

I :wub: my 14500 mods, but there's not quite the selection as you can find in 18xxx mods - where's the Piccolo Lux, ELA 14xxx, etc.? :D

So that could mean that you want to use an 18500 with a Kick or you want to use a Kick and 18350 in an 18500 tube.

18500 with a kick. I have not gotten great travel time out of an 18350 with a kick in the past. I think I'm gonna hold off on the Poldiac and see if this Paps deal goes through (I've already got my Rollers for side button mechs, right?). If it does, cheers, if it doesn't, I'll see what happens on Friday with any Nemesis...

Yeah, so the one you want is the 18650 size. That is what I have and I use all my mechs with an 18500 and Kick.

The Pete54 isn't available in 18650 but the MiriamWTH is. With what's available I would go with MiriamWTH or the Belial if you like brass. I consider the Belial my favorite mod right now.
