I'm looking at the Coolfires over at Origin Vapes and I can't tell which one would be considered amethyst and which one is considered the purple. Does anyone know?

You didn't mention whether you already have a RED 30W-istick.

If you do...you're still "allowed" to buy a 2nd one. (I like my "Red" one the best...but the Silver is a close second.)

Or..."attractive, SMALL, RED" mod...how about a "ROSE" 36 Watt Heatvape Defender?

$30.72 w free shipping:

Heatvape Defender VV / VW Variable Wattage E - cig Box Mod with Digital Display OLED Screen - 510 / eGO Thread-30.72 and Free Shipping| GearBest.com

EDIT: How fortuitous that while I was typing this post...Kent was posting a picture of the Heatvape Defender!!!

that's my logic - I have mods but I don't have a red one (or purple). So I don't have enough mods ! :)

The Evic VT in "cool black" is on it's way to me. Cant pass up a 5000 mAh battery and to test the temperature control option for less than $80 shipped (full kit).

And it's not any larger than the iStick 50W, just a tad heavier.

I tell ya what, that's a heck of a price. I've seen the box alone for $60 and I was shocked outa my chair to see Gearbest AND Heavengifts listing this for $124.90. and it's not like gearbest has a monopoly on silver/blue and gold/black. Myvaporstore has those colors. What is gearbest thinking ?!

the other feature I think is really really cool, is the Evic Vt is set up for temp control for nickel and titanium separately. Is this a hint as to where coils are headed?

Something has to reach out and grab me...... and not let go. Wait, are we still talking mods?

Consider this your "GRAB!". This weekend, we're shopping some of those recent sales/savings (and this absolutely-horrific week) away. They don't call it a Fun-Fund for nothin'!

I need it bad.
(...and yes, I'm talking mods here!)

@Katya: THANKS FOR THE EASY-SELECTION PICS!

The only decision we are to make, @Katdarling, is "2 purple" or "1 purple, 1 blue". And I might not even be up for that much, so you just might have to wrack your pretty head all by yo'self. Sorry, but I'm "decisioned" out. If you asked me right now though, I'd say, "Two - purples, please."

With maybe a Subber on the side, thrown in for good measure.

Laterz, gatorz...

I'll be looking for the 1.5Ω OCC replacement coils - so far haven't seen anyone who sells them, even though they are selling the new Subtank and KBox mini separately now. If someone spots the 1.5Ω coils, give me a heads up :- )
I asked Kanger about them yesterday - this is their brief reply, which is not exactly satisfactory, but the best we're going to get it seems:

New OCC will be sold in the future, we need to clear the 0.5/1.2ohm first.

Thanks for that - but no kudos to Kanger. Uh, we're going to make what you want as soon as you buy all the rest that we have of what you don't want... Gee, thanks, Kanger :facepalm:

I think they are going to do that with the new rba too; sell the old version before releasing the new one for individual sale.

Not good customer service is it! ...hook us with a new set-up and then deny us replacement coils for an unknown time!
I know the 1.2 will work fine, but that's not the point.

I can understand a maker wanting to clear out "old" stock, but imo they should do it with discounted prices, not holding the "new, improved" versions hostage...
Even if they didn't discount them, I can imagine all three resistances still selling depending on peoples preferences.

On top of that, I can see some people preferring the horizontal coils to the new vertical coils. I think it would do them well to have both at least for a while to determine what the market wants.

Well, peeps. The latest mini mod to hit the shelves in the States is HCIGAR's HB Mini. It stands at 87mm x 39mm x 23mm. Has an easily replaceable 18650. It steps down to 1.7V for the low-wattage vapers and runs up to 9V/30W. At $32.99, not a bad choice for those who don't need/want greater than 30W or temperature limiting.

HB mini-HCigar VW MOD-Shenzhen Hcigar Technology Co., Ltd

Hcigar HB Mini 30 Watt

There aren't many reviews out yet. This is the one I found most helpful. Good Luck!

Hope the screen is recessed a bit. Being on the bottom, might be subject to scratches...

Apparently the screen is recessed like the VaporSharks. The internals look neat and clean. HCIGAR has a reasonable reputation for putting out decent products. Considering that less than a year ago I paid $25 for a 1300mAh eGo Twist, it seems like a decent purchase...

Yup!! Times have changed & quickly. These were my setups a year ago:

And these are my setups now:

To think that I'm actually considering more is mind boggling but the evict, cool fire and subox all interest me. [emoji16]
