That is how I get along in the computer world... everything is obsolete and dirt cheap. Can't top all of the posts so far, but here's what I got:
Innokin EZ WATT 35W Starter Kit | Vape System
Here's what I wanted (just missed this deal by minutes):
Aspire X30 Rover Starter Kit | Includes Nautilus X Tank
Here's my next purchase:
Aspire Quad-Flex Tank Survival Kit
Just starting to get the "itis"... and it helps if it's shiny!
I got that survival kit to grab a cheap, fast shipped rda, to see if I could work one. Not a bad kit.

HigherStateD, I need the nautilus x tank cause I dropped my pockex (same coils), but now more interested in the RDA. By the way, is it Higher State D, or Higher Stated... works both ways for me ;)
it's a decent RDA. I like it better than the X myself. It ran a little hot how I tried to vape it, but it's probably great up to about 35-40w. I'd stay away from trying quad coils in the quad flex. And the name? Either...

I'm going to use the RDA on an Innokin EZ Watt 35 watt so might be perfect for me. Just getting into DIY juices and need a way to test them.
Should be perfect for that. Adjustable airflow, and easy enough to build on. Proprietary drip tip is the only real downside, and if your not trying to simulate a cigar, it should be a decent, cheaper way to dip your toe in. A good clone from fasttech might be a smart next step, once you realize the cost savings. I recommend rayon for wick. 8$ for 40' on Amazon.

8 Eleaf Invokes in the closet, 27 dollars each. That's my End of Days mod. You can COUNT on it. So glad I won one all those several years ago. My first one is still going. I have not taken it out of rotation.

I ALMOST did when I got the 8 but then I was like, "I want to see how long this sucker LASTS." LOL.

For those that are in want of Invokes, I regularly buy from Gearbest or Heavengifts

BTW, I play guitar and saw a great deal on a guitar (acoustic, but I also play electric) super good deal because nobody wanted the color... Pink! I was boke at the time... don't give a sht what color... it was a nice model super cheap!

I got a decent price on my Strat for the same reason. Sparkly Sage. $100 less than the black or white, but I actually liked it best. The shop just couldn’t move it.

This asMODus/HSV designed Rosefinch single 18650 mech was $23.90 at sourcemore. These are selling for $180.00 at asMODus and other places. They are very high quality H.E. mechs and feature some really nice engraving.

I regularly hunt for clearance items. Great deals are out there for all sorts of gear. You only need to look. How hard is that??? ;)

Here: asMODus Rose Finch Mechanical Mod single 18650
They still have both the brass (photo) and copper (I have a copper one on the way).

Full details on the mod here: asMODus Rose Finch Mechanical Mod

ETA: BTW they are authentic ... I verified that. ;)

I almost forgot to post this here. I just ordered Bunkers in gold and rose gold, hope they are a close enough match.

Wow, those are beautiful mech mods!
BTW just ordered the (shiny) Aspire quad flex kit. $14 including shipping... comes with Nautilus X tank (I already have same coils for my PockeX), a RDA, and some other things I don't even know what they are yet (still learning) Can't wait to make my first coil.

I love it! Even a poor fool like me can get new shiny toys.
Does anyone know: how will a 0.6 ohm coil in the nautilus x tank (running at 18 watts) compare to the same coil in my pockex (no voltage or watts adjustment)? I have no idea how many watts the pockex does for that coil. I also have 1.2 ohm coils (like them too) but will be using 0.6 mostly.

    It's hard to say, the 0.6ohm pockex coil is rated at 18-23w, so I'd say the pockex aio will have a wattage set to 18watts - but it may have a lower wattage.

    Here's the previously seen Ragnarok wearing an Asmodus Galatek in rainbow, with a rainbow heatsink.
    $8.99 at Vapor Range asMODus Galatek RDA Sqounk Pin | Vapor Range Retail
    He has blue, rainbow, SS and gold.
    Bad news, though:

    It's not even enough to be an advanced vaper anymore. asMODus has decided that they only want professional vapers using the Galatek RDA. Fortunately, Vapor Range has decided to sell them without asking for credentials.

    I bought one of those, and then I bought the Luna/galatek kit for $2 less than a Luna. I actually got $2 to take one.

    Other than my Provari's and my Cartel mod, I actually dont think I have anything over 50.00..

    some mods might have been more than 50 if I'd bought them (some of those over a hundred even) but I didn't buy them.. I had contest wins (I've actually won quite a few contests to date)

    But if I'm buying mods, I hit sales.. even that cartel was on sale (although it was a pricy mod to begin with)..

    I got a Dagger for 15 shipped, that was one of the least expensive mods I own.. I got my son a 3 battery snowwolf for about the same price more recently.

    Other that I think most the mods I have are in the under 50 category.... but above 20..

    Did you get it through that blow out deal at Efun.top?
    I just grabbed 2 of those 3 battery smowwolf 218's yesterday from them for $12.99 each.My son had one and loved it,but it got dropped a while back,and doesn't work right anymore.We searched all over a few months ago,and couldn't find them,so when i seen that deal i grabbed 2,another for him and one for me too.

    Hey AngeNZ, was it you that gave me the tip about the survival kit? Thank you if it was you! Or might have been HigherStateD... both of you have been so helpful. Thank you both.

    Nah it must've been @HigherStateD - and you are very welcome. I was in your boots 18 months ago - this forum helped me out so much :thumb:

    For Cheap I used to Love 5 volt passthroughs. It was simply a USB cable that plugs into your PC with a 510 connector with a few electronics on the end. This way, you could vape at home directly from AC and save the battery on your mod for when you go outside. I don't even know if they are sold anymore but for 15 bucks you couldn't beat them. They supply about 8 watts at 5 volts.
