What messes up other games and me using anyone elses computer is learning on a single click mouse. I'm pathetic on a pc and no patience to learn 'em either.

At a photoshop seminar with Adobe folks - 95% Apple - I had the same experience in a lab with Macs - no 'right click'!! What??!! Lol. Bruce Fraser (RIP - one of the Adobe Mafia at the time) helped me out a lot that day :- )

I am Right Handed. But I use the Mouse with my Left Hand.

I do and have Done a Lot of CAD/CAM and Programming. So when the First Computer I got that had a Mouse, I learned to use it with my Left Hand to free up my Right Hand to use the 10-Key Pad.

    Here is a Trippy looking item...

    1442197921560-P-3067948.jpg

    Authentic Vpark V-BOX 30W Box Mod-45.00 and Free Shipping| GearBest.com

    Yay, finally a USB dustcover. I like the on/off button too, getting tired of the 5 click. Lol, I'm barely that co-ordinated in the AM. Does anyone yet trust using USB charging with a replaceable battery yet??

    Not me :)

    Why risk it on an after-thought "feature" when I have good chargers designed for that one purpose? (And a lot of freshly charged ones to pop right in?)

    I'm looking for a durable mod for low wattage. 1.8 ohm coils not going to go over 20watts. I don't like the isticks there cheap Imo.

    I prefer an internal battery. Doesn't matter if it goes to 50 or 60watts.

    Thank you!

    Have we heard That many problems with them? One or two? Joye, for one, has been doing PT successfully for quite awhile.

    Doesn't look easy to slap a battery in this one.

    Hard to say. The few (actually very few) failures never seem to pin down the exact failure method.

    But USB pass thru and USB charging are different animals, and my guess is that some of those few are because the user didn't heed the difference.

    Personally, I like replaceable battery devices. If I'm getting ready to go out the door I can just pop in a fresh bat and not worry about it.

    I often see things like the above, about "fingers" on the fire button. Am I the only weirdo in the world that uses thumbs for firing? I've NEVER used my fingers, it just doesn't feel right to me. Feels awkward.

    Andria
    No..you are not the only weirdo. I use my thumb, too! I have flipped my PV over and tried using my finger from time to time (for example, using the iTaste VV V3 while it's in PT mode...that glaring green light is distracting at night while reading! I have to turn it around so it's not shining in my eyes!), but mostly it feels weird to do that. I'm a thumb thumper all the way!

    I could use a little help/advice! I would like to get another iStick 30W but don't need a full kit, and am spoiled because the place I was getting them had them for around $28.00. Now they are out of stock, and I have no idea if they'll get any back in. What I'm looking for is a box mod with decent mAh that can go down to at least 5W or 6W..it can go up from there all it wants to, but I won't be using more than maybe 7 or 8 watts max. The thing that isn't easy is finding something in that $28 price range! We just had 2 window air conditioners go out and trying to get them fixed/replaced is going to wipe out the majority of my ready cash for the next month or so. Sooo...can anyone point me to something? iStick 30W would be excellent if the price is good, but I'm cool with the Coolfire if the price is right. Maybe there's something out there I am not familiar with. Need something under $35 if at all possible. Oh yeah....I don't order from China (Fastech, etc.)...so please, don't bother suggesting that. ;)

    If you like the Size of your iStick 30W, maybe you should consider an iStick 40W TC?

    I didn't read the whole thread, so don't know if this one has been mentioned. Mini Jedi 50W by KingCig for $24.99. Mini Jedi 50W by KingCig $24.99 - Box MOD / 20W +
    I got one to try out and I really like it. It's lightweight and only 3.5". With a Goblin Mini on top it's about 5" including the tip. Replacing the battery is odd, it doesn't pop out, there is a screw on the bottom that is also the connection.

    Yeah, when I was trying out the Evic-VT, I had to turn it around and use my finger, so I could watch what the wattage was doing, in a mirror (backwards of course!), and that was so awkward I nearly dropped it! Considering how heavy that mod is, it could easily have dinged the ceramic in the sink! :D

    I wonder if the 40W TC can switch between Wattage mode and Voltage mode?
    Just VW and TC. No VV. But VW works out the same as VV anyway. No real need for both. It's just a number.

    I checked out a review or two and am somewhat attracted. I thought I wanted a built in battery because I like using the PT feature on the iSticks (I am almost always near a USB port). Still, from what I see...maybe this is a possibility? Can you tell me the lowest wattage it will go? Lowest volts? I use the GS Air M mostly...assume that isn't a problem? I do not do high wattage (I'm a Tootle Puffer)

    Okay...been nosing around. Anyone got any comments on the Innokin iTaste MVP 20W? Remember...I am not interested in TC and do not do high wattage. Looks like I can maybe get an okay price on it, and I know Innokin boxes used to have a really good reputation. I also like the passthrough capabilities. Can anyone who knows about this one give me any feedback...your impressions? Is it durable? Any quirks? I know it's "last year's model" (or appears to be) but I don't care so long as it's something I can use and count on. TIA!

    Rockymountainvapor has the iStck 30w for $35 and they still have the 25% discount using code SUMMER15 and free shipping. Total cost $26.25.
