Obligatory "New Here" Post!

[antitux]

Hi, I'm Tux.

I've been vaping on and off for the last few years, starting in 2012. I finally kicked the habit completely around christmas time. That's when I really started my vaping journey. So far I've had a blast and met some awesome folks. I figured I'd hop on here and try to meet some more.

Here's my current kit:

Heads I own:
Aspire K1
Aspire nautilus Mini
Aspire Atlantis
Kangertech Subtank Mini
Kangertech Subtank Nano
Steam Angel Technology Dark Horse RDA

Batteries/Mods:
Vision Spinner II
eLeaf iStick 20W
Pioneer4you IPV Mini 30w
Sigeli 150w

Juices I'm currently vaping:
Karma Cream Max VG clone 3mg
Creamsicle Max VG clone 3mg
Space Jam Omega diluted to 3mg (half 6mg, half 0mg)
Creamsicle clone 3mg

Retired gear/Reason:
Aspire K1 - Blame the Nautilus Mini.
Vision Spinner 2 - No more ego tanks.
Aspire Nautilus Mini - Blame the Atlantis. Moar AIRFLOW.
Aspire Atlantis - Way too much gargle. Got tired of swallowing boiling hot liquid. Blame the Kanger Subtanks.

On Order:
eLeaf iStick 50W

Current daily vapers:
Primary: Kanger Subtank Mini on IPV Mini, RBA Custom coil at 0.5 Ohms, 24w. Space Jam Omega 3mg. Replacement drip tip. (OMG warm tasty vapes! Stock drip tip gets way too hot.)
Backup: Kanger Subtank Nano on the iStick 20w, 1.2 Ohm OCC at 20w. Creamsicle clone 3mg. (Drip tip gets too hot at sub-ohm for a decent vaping experience and I can't find a replacement tip that fits it.)

Cloudchaser Build:
Dark Horse RDA, custom 0.4 Ohm dual coil build, Sigeli 150w at 60w, Karma Cream or Creamsicle Max VG clone 3mg. (OMG perdy tasty max VG clouds of awesomeness!)

I generally buy all my stuff local, even if I'm ordering from a shop across town. Phoenix has a surprisingly large amount of vape shops, and there's a little bit of something for everyone here.

I won't lie, I do occasionally like to cloud chase, but I know I couldn't do that as a daily vape. It's just fun to show off.

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to getting more involved with the vaping community as a whole. I figured I might as well give my insight into what I'm finding that works for me as I continue the experience.

Welcome aboard Tux. I'm a beginner. Trying out a few different juices and hardware. Batteries are still eGo style. I like the convenience of USB charging. I'm looking into mods and coil building. Looks interesting. I'm using an Evod-V V3 and have a protank 2 and a Nautilus (5ml). I like them both, but the kanger heads look easier to rebuild. My favorite juice, so far, has been Hurricane cherry fog milk. I've got a few different kinds on order at the moment. Once again, welcome to ECF.

Do beware of the USB charging. Some usb charging-capable mods (DNA30 comes to mind) do not charge safely, as in they don't stop charging at the maximum safe voltage of the batter because there's no built in regulator. For ego sticks USB is the only option, really, and they're designed for it, so those are fine. Don't take the USB charging for granted.

Only 0.4? You know that box will take down to 0.15 reliably, and down 0.1 with a bit of tomfoolery, right? I have a Dark horse on the Sigelei 100W, smack on 0.15 ohms, dual claptons. If you have the time and patience to make claptons and fit them in that skinny little barrel, it's really worth it.

 

[TheGreatApe]

Can confirm about the claptons. I run a bit more of a mild setup in my darkhorse (.5ish). Currently 32 over 28, and the flavor!!! My oh my the flavor.I don't even bother with normal coils anymore.

Welcome!

You are a bad influence and I really appreciate it. I do believe I'll be giving that a shot later this week.

32 over 28? I'm running 28 over 22.
It's so big that it shorts against the sides of the barrel occasionally if I bump it or something. The Sigelei it's on is the only thing keeping me out of the ER. Kids, don't try this at home. Oh wait, I am at home.

P.S. OK maybe I am being a bad influence.

 

[TheGreatApe]

Wow. The darkhorse is a tight build to begin with so I can believe the shorts. What ID did you wrap at? That has to be like taking a drink off a fire hydrant!
