hi all, crazy how bug the community is here, in fact I don't know of any single online forum on any thing with more post then ecf.
I'm 2 months into vaping, really enjoying it(maybe too much), had a 1/2 pack of marl lights overlap and haven't gone back. Started with V2 basic kit, which after reading reviews on other mini kits have come to the conclusion that I may have been spoiled, the bat is KR8 auto 280mah with 10 bottom coil carts that are still alive(though barely). A week later I ordered a couple 5ml juices from madvapes. As the cartos started to feel worn I ordered some CE2 steelomizers and DIY liquids from goodprophets who thankfully throw in some freebee XL cartos because the CE2 steels tasted like burnt plastic no matter how long I let them rest or wet burned or dry burned, they spit and only held 0.5ml and required a syringe to refill.
In my learning process I flooded way too many carts and the result is a unreliable bat, most likely with juice in the housing. Since I only had 1 bat it's also possible that 4-5 hours of vaping a day for 2 months have just worn out the battery, not sure of life expectancy of a modern KR8.
At any rate I got a "Vision VOLT Karma"* kit form GotVapes in route, can't wait
The bat seems like a nice inbetween mini and mid ecig, manual 450mah, 3.7v, 510 connector but it's 11mm wide so eGo parts should fit pretty close with a 510 adapter.
*these are also called "Super 510" at MadVapes and elsewhere.
I do have one question.
What do I not know about e-juice that buying premixed flavors from a e-juice vendor make sense? Based on the juice names and descriptions I make the assumption there isn't anything the vendor is doing other then buying food flavors from the same TPA, FA, FW, etc, that I can buy direct from and mixing it with nic & base and charging 5X more. I'm not upset by that, that's a fair business markup for labor and materials, but I don't get what's being offered by them that a monkey couldn't do, are there secret ingredients, insider tips of the trade, special equipment, what?
