Lurker no longer

[ILoveNorCal]

After almost two years of vaping and lurking the forums, I finally got around to registering. So let me please introduce myself [read: get my 5 newbie posts out of the way]

My [cliche'] history of vaping:

• Noble Vapors Cigalike
• AtmosRX old ego style with the drip shield and the crappy clear plastic cartomizer that leaked EVERYWHERE
• Various other ego batteries: VV/VW one with LEDs in the bottom the made an obnoxious rainbow ribbon
• CE4 Clearomizers
• eVod tanks
• ProTank 2
• Kamry K100
• Protank 3
• Vamo V5
• Igo-w RDA with bored out holes

And now I'm waiting on a Nemesis clone to come in the mail.

I'm also shopping for another VV/VW mod, any suggestions on what I should get next?

No advice but welcome to the forum

Welcome! I have the Itaste MVP and VTR and like them both. I use the MVP on the go because I am too worried about banging up the VTR. lol

 

[ILoveNorCal]

Thank you both for the welcome wishes.

I was looking at the MVP... everyone I know who uses one seems to love it.

Some of the guys at one of the local B&Ms use some MVP style mod... I wish I could remember the name of it. They looked really cool.

Welcome IloveNorCal!
I'm in CenCal. Since you showed me yours, I'll show you mine (ha ha)

Started vaping Oct/2013 on a V2 cig-a-like with prefilled cartos and fill-your-own "blanks"
Moved up to an eGo C-twist with CE-4 clearos and mini BCC's
Followed in my son's footsteps and upgraded to a Sigelei Vmax V5, which is a very nice unit.
On it, I am using Kanger Protanks, mini Protank Version 2 (with removable drip tip), Protank 2's
On the Protank and Protank 2, I use a Kanger Aero Base, which allows air adjustability. This has made me like Protanks, as the original draws like a marble through a straw. Now I can vary the airflow for a particular liquid or flavor, if needed.
I just discovered and am integrating into my rotation Aspire ET-S BDC glassomizers, which have a metal jacket with a "sight guage" (like and Evod), and use eGo threading. This is my best glassomizer so far. They come stock with a 1.8 ohm coil and replacements come in either 1.8 or 2.2 ohms only. The replacements I order are 2.2 ohm, as they last longer. This unit has been the single best change I've made in vaping because I'm getting so much flavor on "marginal" liquids that I can hardly believe it. Although they don't have a removable drip tip, the have a well-designed one that is comfortable. The draw is perfect, and (wait for it), they come in stainless, blue, green, lavender and red! (important to my wife, but I like the stainless). You might want to check youtube reviews of the Sigelei. It's not a honker, like the I-taste 134. I still use my eGos, usually out in public, as they are of a more manageable size in certain circumstances.
Happy vaping, neighbor!

Welcome!
I upgraded from ego style batteries around the holidays. There are so many spiffy choices available so I did a lot of research and asked around the forum here before pulling the trigger on an itaste v3. It was about $25 and I have no regrets!
I got it from 101vape and not only are they one of the cheapest around, they were super fast to ship and I can tell you first hand that their customer service is awesome to say the least! When I had an issue with mine (about the same time I got used to it and fell in love with it) I ordered another but they didn't have the white I had originally in stock. I sent them a message and they swapped the new one I ordered for one in the color I wanted at the last minute (an order had come in that wasn't even stocked on the website yet), and even sent me a return envelope to send back the broken one for a free replacement. Yeah, I'm a very happy vaper thanks to them. No complaints with my v3 and backup v3.

Welcome to ECF Nor Cal. I have the MVP2 and couldn't be happier. VV/VW, built in ohm meter, no PWM.

Cheers,

Hi there neighbor! It's finally raining here in Nor Cal, hopefully you guys are getting some there too.

That's a good tip on the Aspire ET-S. I'll have to pick on up if I decide to bring my ego's back into rotation. Lugging around my Vamo V5 all the time is sometimes a little bulky. and it's so long that I fear that when I sit down with it in my pocket that it is going to get stuck on the top of my pocket, tweak my protank and crack the pyrex. ...not that i've heard of that happening, but ya never know.

That's a pretty strong endorsement for 101vapes. I was just on their site yesterday... haven't ordered from them yet, was wondering how they were. So thanks for the review.

What are you all vaping right now?
Whats your favourite brand of juice?
Favourite flavour from that brand?

+1 on 101vape, it's where I bought the MVP2 from. Good service and fast shipping!

Hi Steve,

PWM: Pulse-width modulation? What does that cause?

It would be easier for me to give you a link to a thread that you can check out if you have time:

I just discovered that site... just wished they had them in stock.

I would like to order a second one for me.

That was in interesting read.

I wonder how PWM affects the coils... adversely I assume. I would think the fluctuation in power would cause the coils to wear out faster.

Yeah, i just checked also... The VTR, V3, 134, and MVP are all out of stock. Is everyone hoarding Innokin or what?

That very well could be, I know it's a smoother vape to me. YMMV Just my

I think it's because the Chinese New Year just ended and they weren't shipping during it. I'm hoping they restock now that it's over. I don't really know, just my educated guess.

Am guessing that their pricing is better than their stock.

This ↑

combined with this ↑

with the addition of a lot of people are probably just getting their tax returns and have some extra money for vape mail.

 

[Legolas]

101vape does do a good job. I ordered a Kayfun Lite Plus Clone from them 31.99 and 1.99 shipping. I was shocked how fast it got here from west coast to east coast. Three days from order to arrival. Impressive

Chinese New Year plus Innokin makes a great product. I have two MVP 2s and two VV v3's between hubby and I, and we couldn't be happier. I vape at a higher wattage output then he does, plus I have a long, 2 hour commute so the MVP2's are mine. I tried to claim at least one of the VV v3's and leave an MVP 2 for him, but he loves the VV v3's too much and the MVP2 got so little use it just made sense that he have another VVv3 as backup (one charging, one in use at all times) and I have the MVP2's. He just likes the ego size better. So much so that he used his old, generic, 650 mAh, 5 click to the next setting, variable volt, passthrough more then the MVP. As a generic, it's not that great and the button got stuck a lot, so he wound up with both VV v3's unfortunately...
