Don't freak... I'm a bit obsessive... when I started spinning, at one point, I owned 17 spinning wheels... lol...

When I was in tech, I had 27 computers...

Now, it's mods and atomizers...

I really liked having a few dependable rigs, foolishly thinking I'd always be able to hit up Provape for service when needed. Since the dooming I've had to second guess a future of unknown length, spending money I don't have on gear that could die in 6 months or 10 years.

I'm so stressed out I can't sleep at night. All I know is I will not smoke a single stinkie again, for the rest of my life. So when I look through my stash I tell every piece "please, please don't fail me."

Get a reliable mech... I like my King V2, my PH22, and my Stingrays.

Yep, I think that's good advice. I have 5 mini mechs I enjoy a lot for their stealthiness, but I think a few Kings, Caravellas or the like would be smart additions to my vapocalypse box. They'd likely stay in their boxes until everything else fails. Hopefully forever.

Yep, the bottom fill screw sucks unless you live dangerously and fill from the top :p

I have never had an issue with my Lemo 2. I did have the occasional issue with my Lemo 1, but a quick cleaning solved the issue. I love the fill method on the 2...

The only reason I mentioned the older Kayfuns was due to MTL vaping... something the KF5 discarded. I didn't mention the 4 because of its complexity.

I did try top filling a few times and always had gurgling to flooding each time. I invested in a bunch of needle tip bottles just to fill the 4 KFL+'s I had. They vaped great, especially the EH Pro's but with new atomizers that were easier to use, I moved on.

I heard great things about the Lemo 2 so I got one. I was constantly getting "Check Atomizer" on my mods and found the contact for the center 510 pin was a bit flaky. The fill port was nice.

I got 10 Tobeco KF5's direct from Tobeco because I couldn't find a vendor that carried it. VapeNW usually carries Tobeco and I asked them but they said they had no plans to carry it. Eciggity.com does have it in stock now and they have a sale (20% off code: july20) which brings it down to $21.59 which is a bit less than what I paid. Easy access to the build deck and top fill are great features and much more simplified. Both KM3 and KF5 are great.

My Rolo RX75 from "VAPENW" is due tomorrow and if it isn't here I'll have to wait until Tuesday and that would make me one very unhappy biker babe. :cry:

Eciggity is having a 20% off sale starting tonight at midnight. Code "JULY20"

I'm looking at the evic VTWO Mini. Does anybody have this mod? Is it any good?

It's basically a VTC mini with a clock and some additional colors. Just have a look at the VTC mini thread if you want, people seem to love it. I think it's the best selling mod out there at the moment.

I pulled the trigger on the VTwo mini last night along with 2 more istick 100W TC's. I love those 100W's. I love anything that has a squeeze firing. I'm done now. I've really got to stop spending money. :facepalm:

The Kayfun v4 is discontinued and overly complicated. Vapes great but might be too complicated for a beginner. There are a lot of great youtube videos though.

I didn't mention the 4 because of its complexity.

I have the kayfun 4 and I know a lot of people say it's over engineered. Maybe so but a lot of the parts are for the extra tanks. Once you pick your fav tank all the rest stays in the box. Building is a breezing and I love that it has that hidden airflow screw because I needed that so I wouldn't worry about it being over engineered. I find it very simple and has not leaked since I got it which is very important in my book.

ROLO is "out for delivery". :banana:
Mine isn't! It was ordered and shipped a day before yours, and was scheduled for delivery yesterday. But last tracking has been stuck on 'departed Seattle'. USPS is usually sooo good to me. :oops:

I guess I'm special. :p I really didn't expect it today. It didn't leave Seattle until 6/29 so it only took 2 days to cross the country to Indiana. It's 1st class mail too. This doesn't usually happen especially around a holiday.

I like the looks of those iSticks as well, but I'm a internal battery guy myself. Congrats though, that's a lot of mail to look forward to :)

I'll be keeping an eye on that iPower, but there probably is a Evic VTwo in racing yellow in my future to replace the Evic VT that went before it's time.

I have an odd problem at the moment; too much money in my paypal account but I don't know what to spend it on, lol

I want to buy another mod but I don't know what. Perhaps I should just wait until my last order comes in first. If I like it enough I might just get another one of those. Or safe up and get a Dani Extreme V2 Plus next month maybe.

I did just buy a Hurricane Junior Clone without looking in to what I'm getting. Does anyone here have any experience with those perhaps?

Why would you want to buy internal battery mods at a time like this? Do you know how to replace them when they die?

I wish I had your problem. :facepalm:

OOOooo... We can help you with that!

That might be more difficult then you anticipate, I don't think there's one out there at the moment that meets my demands that I haven't checked out already.

But give it your best shot I'd say.

I like internal batteries, silver, black, carbon fiber, and TC is a must. Firmware upgradable and TCR are also high on the list.

Well, I'm in Europe, and while they are tightening down the rules here too I'm not convinced there is a vape-apocalypses just yet. I think this industry will go on for a long time and I am not afraid to resort to smuggling if the need arises.

Other then that it's usually other things that break or simply stop working on this cheaply made Chinese technology long before the battery is at the end of it's cycle. But I'm also pretty confident in my ability to swap out non-replaceable batteries if necessary.

Does anyone have any experience with eLeaf mods? How's the build quality? Good safety & battery protection? Reliable?

I prefer internal battery mods, but always wary of the manufacturer's reputation.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that's not for me.

It's too expensive for what you get imo. Also too large for it's battery capacity, and I don't like the odd small screen on the bottom of the mod. Maybe I should add that to my preferences, no screens on the bottom of the mod and I am partial to screens like on the Joyetechs or the Nugget. Or in other words; large and can be read horizontal without turning the device over.

I don't think I would like the UI of a DNA-200 powered device to be honest, even the 75 looked more complicated then it needs to be imo. Plus I've looked in to all of them and don't really like the looks of any of them so we can skip that whole category I'm afraid.

Next :p

ps: please keep in mind that buying from the US isn't really an option for me if you want to make suggestions. The shipping easily adds 30 bucks on average, plus I'd have to pay 21% in taxes over the price of the item as well as over the shipping costs upon arrival in my country and an additional customs fee of around 15 bucks on top of that.

For some reason the Chinese always manage to slip under the radar of our customs so no fees involved with them oddly enough.
