I'm new to Vaping and spending my money wisely

[Kgb424]

I wanted quit smoking, so I got into vaping, and its really helping me, cause when I get the cravings for a cig, like a after a good meal, or if some else is smoking a cigarette, or just having a stressful day, I take a couple Vapes and cravings are gone. I jumped in with both feet, I did my research before jumping in, and I bought a Helios clone and a Trident clone and two Nemesis mechanical mods, and two sets of Sony 30 amp VTC5's 18650's and two chargers, and then I was giving a Kayfun 3.1 clone and really love the taste of my juices with the 1.2 ohm 28 gauge chimney coil, after watching Rip Trippers, I had to try it and it works great now, thanks Rip and this Memorial Day at 15% to 20% percent off I bought a second Kayfun clone, and two DNA20 Hana Modz's, and then today I bought two real DNA30 authentic chips and going to change out the DNA20 chips with the DNA30 chips, cause I having been doing my research, and I like the features and the way the DNA30 works compared, too the 50 watt Hexohm mod, that pot switch is going to where out, and the Vapor Shark DNA30 is nice, but it only has a 1200 MAH, battery that's built in and has to send it back to be repaired when you can run single or dual 2600 MAH with both of the dna chips. I like building the RDA and now the RBA's and now I get to build mods and that's even better cause I like building things and it gives me an excuse to buy more tools and experiment with different gauges of wire and different number of wraps and different diameter of the coils, I really like the my new hobby very much, I should have jumped years ago.

Yep. You are definitely hooked. But it could be worse because you could still be killing yourself with cancer sticks.

Whoa, and people say MY vape budget is HIGH! It does sound like you've done your research and know what you're doing so far, let me be the first to say congrats, welcome, or just Hi! I'm pretty new and a little over 2 months smoke free myself! Now the only thing left it seems like is to get yourself over to Nicoticket if you haven't yet and then think about getting a Reo next! I just bought my first a VV Grand off the classifieds, and oldy but goody lol, and can't wait to get it! I also have two Vmecha's coming I'm waiting on, I personally think are underrated! I guess I'll see for sure when they get here!

Well have fun, I'm with you, it's a great hobby! I love it and can't believe I smoked as much or as long as I did! I think it's really started coming along these last few years, there's been a BIG jump in the tech and knowledge! While we're not one of the first pioneers of where vaping has got to, at least we're on the wagon now! Vape on my friend!

Yep and I passed on the Kanger Pro-Tanks and the Ego C Twists that I see a lot of people using, Cause I went to a wedding a few weeks back, and there was two groups of people hanging out in the very back the cigarette smokers and the Pro-tankers, and I walk up blowing huge dense clouds of Vapor, it didn't take long to thin out the group, I brought a few extra rubber drip tip covers, like they use at the juice tasting places, and a few people wanted to try it out, so I let them, and they were all blow away by the taste and the volume of the clouds they were blowing compared to Pro-Tanks they were using, I think I might of opened a few eyes to RDA's and Mechanical mods, and how much you can really taste the juices and how enjoyable it can be.

I would opt to be a little more circumspect in public these days given the negative perception e-cigarettes are generating in the media and in local/state/federal governments. This perception does filter down to the general public. Just something to consider in the future.

 

[CurtXO]

Shoot with that budget youre buying my next mod right?

 

[Kgb424]

it was out doors after the wedding ceremony, and before the food was served, this was at the back of the parking lot away from every body else except the for the people that were smoking or vaporizing no body's feeling were hurt they moved over and regrouped, it was out doors they could of Vaped right at the tables, but the smokers had to smoke at the back of parking lot that's where they have sand buckets and trash cans and benches, so people hang out there cause the bar was open and people my self included like a couple of vapes and stiff cocktail outdoors hanging having a good time.

 

[Hulamoon]

Holy Mole! You really DID do your homework, dincha! Good for you and most important Congratulations!!

 

[Kgb424]

No more budget now, its taken me a few months to get my collection, I like to drip around other drippers, and don't like dripping and driving so that's why I got a RBA, I was thinking about a Genesis style one, when a guy I had met at the Vapor Supply place, I buy from and hang out, told me save my money he would give me his Kayfun 3.1 for free, and I of course offered him money or too buy him some juice of his liking but it just made him mad, so I took it to make him happy, and bought a second one because they work good and I like the flavor and the Vape cloud it gives and I can run two different flavors while driving on long road trips or short runs to Wally World for milk.

Good for you Wingsfan. Great to see you seem to be well on your way.

Vape on

And to be honest I bought a lot of it on Flea bay, and they are clones made by H-Cigar or EHPRO, and I really didn't spend that much, the 2 Nemesis's Mech mods were less then $50 with shipping, the RDA's were less the $40 each with shipping, one of Kayfun's was given to me, I bought the second Kayfun that I got 20% off and it was under $40 with shipping. The DNA20 Hana Modz's were $106 with shipping for 2 of them, the Sony VTC5's were $30 a set, and the chargers were $30 each, and the authentic DNA30 chips, that's right I bought 2, with shipping they where under $80 each, so if you add it up I saved a lot, by buying clones, cause the originals RDA's, RBA's and DNA mods would have cost me three or four times more than what I paid, so when I get my DNA30's working, I will still need a mech mod to fire off my builds, cause I been playing 24 gauge, 26 gauge, 28 gauge, and I'm going to twist some up and see how low I can go on the Ohms, maybe I will use single coils that rock, instead of the dual coils, its hard for me to get them to glow evenly and have the same brightness, and I get the burnt or stainless steel taste a lot, cause I'm still learning, and a single coil that is twisted with three different gauges of Kanthal, tastes the same or better than a plain dual coil build and I want to try different setups, and Kidney Puncher, has got good deals on Kanthal and there in AZ, that's not far from me, so I get my wire cheap with fast shipping. And I'm thinking about make my own juice too, just want to do my homework first like I did before I bought Vaporizing collection. and wow the Snoz Berry juice will taste like Snoz berries even if you are or are not freaking out man.

 

[Kgb424]

I got my second Kayfun today, it matches my first one, they look pretty good on my Nemeses Mech Mod's. I need to clean it before I put a coil in it and wick it up, and vape her. I'm going to try and post some pic's.

 

[Kgb424]

more pics

 

[Jdbaker82]

Funny I just started too and I ended up with all the same stuff from my research. OP I highly recommend Russian 91% of KFL+ you wont regret it

If you find yourself obsessing over the dripping experience, when it's not convenient to drip, a REO with the new contacts works out very nicely. It's not for everyone though. I know a couple people that tried it and just couldn't get into the whole bottom-feed, squonking thing. For me though, it's perfect. Sub-ohm and portable.

 

[Kgb424]

and now for the "collection"

 

[Kgb424]

The RDA in the middle is the Lotus, and you can run three coils in it, when I get better at wrapping coils, I give it a try with me DNA20 or DNA30, and see what it can do.

 

[Kgb424]

I got my micro puck, and in the picture is the first coil I made using 24 gauge Kanthal with 6 wraps, I did not heat and compress the coil, I skip that part and do it on the ATT with my mech mod. I will have try to pull it harder when wrapping it next time.

So with all that gear, what does your juice collection look like? What are your favorites?
