Maybe we'll see some innovation and greater mah and drain in the 14500 batts soon.

I hope we will see more innovation + keeping them around for 14500 mods in general.

The vaping industry seems somewhat male-centric, combined with the sub-ohm and huge clouds thing......and this form factor is not receiving the appreciation it needs, there is a market for it and yet even REO discontinued the reo mini 14500........just a huge mistake IMHO.

I've seen other 14500s go to extinction as well.

IMHO it has a huge place in vaping hardware and I hope it sticks around.

Yeah for some reason Joe is verboten on ECF. There was something about it on the on the VJ site, but I have no idea why. I'd be interested to know what happened.

I dont' keep up with industry gossip and/or competition, but I do know he started a forum / website etc. Without needing any backstory, that would explain a lot.

There's plenty of room for other vaping forums out there in the world, different types of communities for different types of people.

yeah but that in itself is not even ban-worthy, let alone worthy of total Discommendation.

There has to be more to it... bad behavior, using ECF to promote his own forum, or promoting products contrary to the rules etc. Kinda like Hookah John and Hookah Pro forum.

I own and regularly use my original 14500 Reo mini. I own and can go weeks without touching my Reo Grand (18650). Weight, physical size and just pocket friendliness drive my usage. I have sub-ohm setups I use at home all the time with 18650 but I'm just as happy alot of the time with 14500 and eGo sized devices. At least at home the reduced battery life isn't an issue and since I have a few Kayfuns I love I'm running at 1.5 ohm range not sub-ohm so I don't need batteries with huge capacities.

the AW 14500s can do down to about 0.8 anyway, which is more than enough for most people, certainly for out-and-about vaping. Although the life is pretty short for sure, they can still do a couple to a few hours of regular vaping no problem.

People say this is the year of the 26650, and that's true.. I have a The Copper in 26, but I think it is also maybe the beginning of a move toward slimmer devices as well. I mean, the Nemie just came out recently, and that is saying a lot IMO.

I don't know if I'd say that, I've met just as many female vapers as I have male.

I wouldn't get too comfie on the whole sub-ohm culture either, I'd be willing to bet in 4-5 years (tops) it'll be gone all together. As soon as the technology is there and we can get the same vape without having to sub-ohm there really won't be a point to do it anymore, either that or something new will come along (it always does).

disagree on a couple points

-while there are a lot of female vapers, there are NOT a lot of feminine mods, which is why you see these terrible, gaudy attempts to make mods more feminine -- beads, tassled, stickers, sparkly ....... And, no: putting a pink wrapper on an eGo does not make it feminine. Putting a purple M-tank on your kayfun is better but still not really there. These topical touches are not what we need IMO in terms of "feminine mods". The Titanide 14 I got my wife definitely qualifies though, as do a few other devices. Yet for the most part vapeware is fairly severe and definitely masculine.

-I think greater amps vapes way better than higher volts. WAY better. Although some of the very high-power regulated devices can give a good vape, for a few hundred dollars.

however, I disagree emphatically that a 2.5ohm coil @ 30w vapes anywhere near as nicely as that 0.6ohm @ 30w

Just saying "sub ohm" isn't going anywhere. neither are mechanical devices, which IMO vape better at any resistance.

My Chris Creations Novice is a sexy little beast and it vapes like one too. Yes, its a dripper hybrid, but with the right drip tip (wide bore, etc) you can quickly and easily drip right into the tip. It fits discreetly in my jeans pocket, easy to find in the zippered pocket of my purse. I can take it anywhere and its a joy to vape on. Its my everyday vape when paired with my Niquid Sinnamon :)

I haven't seen that mentioned in the thread before. Is this legit or clone?

Nice thread.
I just ordered a mini Nemmy and a novice for myself. Both clones.
(To add balance I also ordered a dreadnaught clone :p )

On the female/sub ohm topic, my wife builds her tridents and atomic at .3 ohms and is currently rocking a SS GUS and a brass Caravela daily.

Her most feminine mod is probably the Lotus.


The 14xxx mods are for me.
:D

Focalecig.com has what they call group buys. Generally dirt cheap deals. They have the Nemi, mini Nemesis, for under $17, add $2 for a tracking number. I generally receive my packages within 2 weeks of being shipped. Thought I'd already mentioned that deal on this thread. Not too much time left on the deal now.
