Start thinking about rewicking the kanger heads. You'll need 3mm silica for the wick, some kanthal, and some 1mm wick for the flavour wick. It's dead easy rewicking them.

Have thought about it. My itaste vv3 has a built in ohmmeter, so that's nice. The heads I get from Sun-Vapers have all worked great for me. I saw a video posted here on how to microcoil a Kanger head, and was all down with that until the guy pulled out a butane torch and started torching the coil.

Seem's like a lot of work to save a buck. If I start getting bum coils, I'll definitely start thinking about it, but right now the heads are performing great and are so inexpensive that as long as I am getting good life and performance from the coils I'm satisfied thus far.

6 days and 240 dollars in....
Its new to me so I was a lil skeptical about reliability so I made sure to buy backups in order to ensure reliability....im very easily self convinced. Plus my first kit was way over priced.....I bought it on impulse because I hate waiting for things to ship in the mail.
Who buys vodka and ONLY cranberry? You need sprite orange juice and other chasers. Same goes for my e liquid. I needed more flavours for vaping....and no one wants to constantly change flavours in one tank so I needed more tanks. And since I knew I would buy more flavours in juice, I may as well order extra tanks in different colours so I can differentiate between them....
I think im good for a while now......or so I told my wife.

Not buying smokes offset the hardware in 2 weeks. The DIY part has been way more expensive than I expected. Just can't get enough of the flavors and mixing, and hoarding 100mg nic.

Think yourself lucky. The highest nicotine solution available in England is 72mg. It's quite high, and i'm not complaining, but i do feel a little envious for not being able to get 100mg. Think of the savings !. Maybe i could get it imported, or maybe not, i'm not sure how that would pan out.

Wife won't allow me to collect anymore motorcycles ... so I figured I'd start collecting vaping gear instead. It's so much cheaper!!! :2cool:

This is what I ordered last week, been vaping for 11 days ...

Something that I wished I had done done earlier in my short vaping career was to buy a dripping atomizer to sample different juices with, they can be cheap, give good flavor, and are a lot easier than filling a clearomizer just to get a taste of a different flavored juice, which I may or may not like.

Here's a couple of dripping atomizers that I like, I prefer the first one but they perform similar.

If you are not yet into making your own coils and wicks, these work great for 15c each, they are about 2 ohms and work well, an easy intro to get started on making your own coils/wicks. I put one of these coils in each of the above atomizers and the flavor and vapor production is surprisingly good.

What has this got to do with how much you have spent on devices? Well, on your next order, for around $7 you can get a nice cheap dripper set up, well worth it IMO :)

I've got a couple of dozen protank coils that i use and i still buy them from time to time. But i won't throw them away when they're worn out so a little bit of silica and some kanthal and they're like new again. I don't bother trying the microcoils. Just a few wraps round the silica is good enough for me.:)

Between my wife and I we are over $600 in two months time. I have been trying all different clearo's, carto's, and tanks to find just the right vape. It's definitely more than I spent on analogs, but will pay off in the long run. I just hope my wife doesn't find out how much I have spent.

Well, she could read this post !:facepalm:..:)
