hey guys, been lurking for a while. decided to do an intro.
My names Allan.
Been vaping for a few months now. started off as an alternative to smoking then blew up into a straight obsession. few months later, and a few thousand $$$ later, here i am lol.

I started off with an eVic and nova tank. switched to a kanger mt3 then got introduced to rda's. started with an igo-L
Then i bought a genny tank - my rsst. loved the flavor on that one.

then i decided to go into mechanicals...high end mechanicals. my first high end purchase was a private v2 and trident atty.
loved that. then the obsession began. i picked up an nzonic v3, then a brass king, then a ss chi you clone, then a brass chi you clone, then a vw nemesis clone.

im a firm believer of supporting mod engineers and buying legits. i only purchase clones to lug around on the daily and not worry about dropping and thefts. my chi clones hit almost as hard as my king (after i upgraded to silver contacts). but when my pre-order from newage goes through, ill be happy to own a legit chi you.

so far the atty's i own are: igo-l, rsst, nimbus, chimbus, trident, trident 24k, reactor2, helios, immortalizer, kayfun lite

on to the pics:
my collection so far (minus the nemesis)

im also into cars. this was my obsession before vaping lol

That's a lot of gear!

Welcome to ECF! Looks like a great collection, mechanicals are just so "classy".

 

[kuyaalland]

thanks guys. so far i think im slowing down lol. unless something amazing thats coming out soon, i think im almost done with my collection.
the next mod that i plan on picking up though is a dees mod. a local shop has them in stock and i did a little research on them. this mod is pure power. made from solid brass or solid ss. averaging like 0.15 voltage drop. pretty pricey though. i dont know anyone else who sells it. and the shop i went to sells them for 250-300. but like i said, if i get one, thats probably gonna be my beast setup- top of my pyramid.

Wow you've got some awesome stuff! I have an eVic, but my others are just cheapo KGOs lol.

I don't live very far from you, I live in southern orange county. Would love to learn from you, I just built my first RBA (The smoktech RSST) was great the first day but now almost every hit has a burnt taste and i dont know why

Anyways, welcome to the forum, I'm relatively new as well. Happy vaping and maybe you could teach me some stuff someday that would be awesome.

There should be an w-cig meetup group (unless there already are!?)

are you using ss mesh? i had a burnt taste too, i cleaned my mesh and rewrapped my wick buy using ribbon wire, and it hits so good and tastes amazing.

 

[Sebastriel]

yea using a 400 SS mesh wick and 32 gauge kanthal wire. What is ribbon wire? And how do you clean the mesh? Lol, see I have so many questions and in the E-Cig stores around here they are always so crowded with so many people and everything is so rushed lol.

Thanks for the quick response!

The only atomizer I have found that you can take as big of a hit as you want and never get a burnt taste is the smoktech pyrex DCT tube carto tank. I had 2 of these now just 1 and a half lol, one fell hard on the floor and ripped the wick out haha

Here is a pic of my setup for my RSST:

Does does the gauge number affect vapor? I got 32 cuz that's what every website recommended and I had no experience with it

yeah the thicker gauge, the lower the resistance, and the warmer the vapor. when people go subohm thats pretty much cloud chasing. i like them thick jk but i like subohm builds lemme check my rsst resistance real quick

 

[kuyaalland]

0.78Ω on my ohm reader for my rsst

So what do you think about the innokin itaste 134? It's totally overpriced because of what it's lacking in quite a few areas but it's definitely a cool looking monster!!

If I had money to burn I would definitely buy it lol. The cheapest I've seen it now is for $140. It doesn't have variable voltage but it goes up to 12.5 watts. Is that about 6volts? I dunno I'm a dummy haha.

Anyway I was curious as to what your opinion of the thing is.
