Kent, alden, anyone..... I've asked before, but in your estimation, how long will the nic survive in a frozen state?

Our resident chemist, Kurt, has had some nic base in freezer for over 5 years now - either a PM to me or a post in DIY eliquids or both. He tests the nic level every so often and reports no degradation. He expects it to last even longer....

I consulted him when I made a big bulk buy from Decadent Vapours. [cliff notes] - Amber Glass - PE caps (no rubber), leave some space at top, not a lot - it won't freeze. Freeze nic base and diluent (PG or VG) but not flavoring. Keep flavoring in dark, cool, dry space.

Can I ask a stupid question? (Well I'm going to anyway) how does a billet box work? I was looking at one on gearbeast and they had an atomizer on top of it. I thought it was kinda like a squonker

That one's a clone, Ms.Pokemon....and as I understand, it may look like a Billet box, but, alas, it is most certainly not.

The real deal is a pretty sweet vaping machine, vv and has a nice and continually growing following. (Made in USA etc.)

It is most certainly not a squanker and is essentially a carto tank. A carto tank that, with the correct gadgets that have been made for it, uses Aspire BVC coils or a couple of tiny rebuildable units and perhaps other styles.

A couple of regulars here on this thread use them and I'm sure will chime in shortly with more praise. :)

Not stupid at all, P-Mom. It's basically a carto tank. But modders have devised different equipment that allow you to use such things as BVC coils, and others.

It's the most marvelous device in the world, for someone like me, who just wants to throw something into a jeans pocket and worry exactly zero bit about it.

6.5ml tank inside, so one spare set of 16340 batts will get most people through a day.
And readers of Vape Magazine will know that it was June's Mod of the Month. Truly marvelous, by every measure.

And you know I'm just going to AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGREE.

I love me my B Boxes.

The one you saw tho, pokes, is a clone, and hardly worthy of spending the dollars. If you do get one, I would suggest the real deal as the way to go.

Yeah, and it's only VV........ I mean c'mon! ;)

(another set of batts in a little plastic batt case, and boom, you're golden)

Besides that, jefs, you've never tasted GOLD til you've tasted it in a B Box. :)

And hi!

So the cool fire came in and I have to say that I really like it. It feels like a better device than the isticks (of which I have 3 20s, 3 30s and a 30 clone, and a 50). I also like it better ergonomically because of where the buttons are. On the istick the flat side with the buttons are on the same side as the tank, on the cool fire the flat side with controls is opposite the tank. The cool fire allows the heavier tank part to rest in the space between the thumb and the fingers and push the buttons like a trigger. This feels more secure to me, and the device does not seem heavier than the istick.

Right now I'm a happy camper. (until possibly later today when something else new comes along...)

I'm glad some more folks are getting them in and feeling what I have been with the ergo design. The round part fits like a tube mod wedged in to palm of your hand but the fire button is out in a more natural resting place.

The screen flipping thing still kind of bothers me but it is a minor nit.

KX-50D Mini VaporFlask

The new KX-50D Mini VaporFlask with temperature protection is now available from Focalecig, get one for only $49.92 (FREE shipping) when you use coupon code “FCVAPINGCHEAP” at checkout.

The Kangxin KX-50D is a mini version of the VaporFlask V3 by Kangxin. It features Kangxin own variable wattage chip (up to 50 watts) with temperature protection, the chip also features preheat and step up/ step down technology. A OLED screen is positioned on the side of the Mini Vaporflask in between a large firing switch and two adjustment buttons. The KX-50D mod also features a flashlight positioned on the top of the device next to the 510 connection. This mod requires a single 18650 battery for power which is not included.

Coupon Code: FCVAPINGCHEAP

$52.01-$52.55 Mini VF KX-50D Temperature Protection 50w VW MOD by Kangxin - Black

1432762185690-P-2598393.jpg


Well I took the leap of faith into temperature control. I figured it's the only way I'm going to know whether it's for me or not. I suppose it also helps to wake up to a coupon code: KXMOD that brings the price down to $39 from GearBest. And it's green.

Seriously, every review I read was very positive. Some preferred this tc as better than their dna40 (whatever that means). The biggest complaint was the ridiculous flashlight on top. Oh well, there's worse things. Same company put out a larger, successful Vapor Flask clone so there's some history with this chip and build.

50 watt box mod with Temp control (200°F-600°F) and supports atomizers from 0.09-2.0 ohm. Kangxin Mini VF KX-50D Features:
Wattage Control
Temperature Protection
Preheat
Step Up / Step Down Topology
Digital User Controls
OLED Screen

I don't know how to embed links anymore. Kangxin Mini VF 50W Mod KX - 50D Chip Variable Wattage Mini Box Mod Temperature Protection VW Mod-50.00 and Free Shipping| GearBest.com

I probably won't have a review for another 20 days since I didn't upgrade shipping.

Congrats, aik! It's a lovely green and I do hope it gives you massive amounts of sweet vapes. I'm not into TC as of yet (perhaps never) so I'll look forward to your take on this.

You don't like the flashlight on top? I do have one (very special) device with a flashlight on/in it. I like it!

Thanks, poke and Kent.

Gotta tell you guys....... I LOVE this silly lil black wave/peacock/carbon thing! The hand feel is only 2nd to my all time fave mod, which is not in our little itty bitty category. (my EPM)

Both sides being rounded, welp, Kent you got it. It becomes part of your hand. It feels a tad lighter than the 'Stick and there is nothing about it (at this point) that I see as a negative.

I love this little pocket-rocket!

awwwwwwww, and it even says "Good Bye" when you 5 click it off! How Sa'weeeeet is THAT! It's nothing if not polite.
