As always big money wins the people lose. They are not in that position for us they are in that position for them. I wish I would have gotten in on the $99 SXM's. Well if the actually let them sell them off for 2 years might be able to get some more M's love TC vaping and will have enough of everything but I don't want to go back to Kanthal. It figures when I finally found my perfect vape after 6 years they will take it away and let the tobacco companies sell the POS cigalikes. Isn't it amazing with all the things going on in the world vaping is so high on the list of hits.

Basically what it says is they didn't include the change in grandfather date, for ecigs, in the spending bill, so 2007 is still the cutoff. We still have hope with HR 2058, so we aren't sunk yet. :)

H.R.2058 - 114th Congress (2015-2016): FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act of 2015
There's been no movement on that for 8 months. Hope they kick it into gear again now.

Political "donations" are a little lackluster in the doing-the-right-thing arena.

I think it has a snowballs chance in hell. They have vaping in their sites and I don't believe anything will be passed to change that. Isn't it amazing that these people who are supposed to be so smart and have our best in their thinking are so stupid on something like this. I don't want to get started on this. I get so ...... about the way the government works and how much it costs us for them to decide how we should live our lives. I bet Obama sits on the royal throne and puffs on one.

No one said they weren't smart. Just greedy. The country has been led by giant companies almost forever. The lobbyist has more power than any of them. For instance, remember when someone noticed that teflon was killing people? Do you see it anymore? Is it even mentioned anymore? Did anyone get fined or go to jail?

What did you get again. What kind of tank and mod. You probably already said but as you will find out I'm terrible at going back through all the posts.
I got a LEMO2 last weekend and its working great. i ordered a Veritas RDA but its looking like that sale is going to fall through :( so I ordered a Hannya RDA that should be here Friday or Saturday. As far as my power supply goes, its a Sigelei 75.

I've been looking at the Wismec Reuleaux RX200 just because it looks so cool and three batteries should last forever :)

Thanks again for all the warm welcomes! This is a awesome board full of people :)

I've only read about this site from other people, but Wismec Reuleaux RX200 TC - $36.49 has the Reuleaux on sale for almost 1/2 off. It's a Chinese site with a US warehouse.

There are some more EFun sales listed here, Reuleaux RX200 $36.49 + XMAS Deals | Best Vape Deals!
Thanks for the info mmsjs5. I have to hold off on spending until right on Christmas Day or a little after. I do have a tentative plan forming to get as much as possible before January in case new laws come into effect and prices sky rocket on hardware and DIY juice supplies.

The Reuleaux, another LEMO2, and another Hannya and glass accessory kit ( if I like it ) is the plan that’s forming, along with a lot of NIC Juice!

Ask bigbells what he thinks of them. Last I heard he was going to send his back. The RX200 that is.

Yes, I may have to buy two or more extra everythings, instead of one! Government legislation, it will probably take a year or more for testing and to get the prices down again!
Not sure how many of the device companies will spend the money to get approved or if they even could. They want cigalikes made by tobacco companies not any of the good stuff.

Thanks, I am thinking I want to try my hand at a big cloud and some fancy coil building which is why I ordered the Hannya. Maybe I will get a bigger Sigelei instead.

@JDC1958 Well JDC I have finally found my sweet spot and not even trying to do any better. I know I sound like a broken record but since you are new here I'll tell you about it. I use only SXMM's Kanger STM's, Ti 26awg 5 wrap 3mm spaced coil about .26ohms, make my own juice from some flavors I found that come from Russia which I have loaded up on. I only use 3mg of nic and have 12 100ml bottles of 50/50 100mg, 3 gallons of PG/VG 50/50. Or I will have when I get my order in to Essential Depot and 120" of Unkamen Ti or will have shortly. Tons of other wires that I have tried which if I live long enough to not be able to get more Unk I can use but I think it will still be available since it's jewelry wire. I need to get another box of KGD.I've been kicking myself in the .... for not jumping on those $99 SXMM's. IMO the SXM is the best mod ever built for my kind of vaping. If I was into the geekier side I'd get a DNA200 but not really impressed with any of them and SX came out with the ML which has software for it too. There you go. I have more stuff for emergencies only that use Kanthal. I have been at this for almost 7 years and was never satisfied completely till now. I even tried so other stuff after I found the Ti but went back to it and that is where I am going to stay. This all came from help from people on ECF and I like to give people here and on the back porch my take on TC which is all I do now. So have fun are you on the west side of the US or Canada?

Thanks for the input 2leggshrt. I am on the east side of the U.S. in Ohio. Right now I only have the nichrome wire that came with my LEMO2. I've ordered some 34/24 Clapton coil that’s on the way for me to try. I don't know a lot about what I like; except the LEMO2 is great and I run it at .5 ohms and 20 to 24 watts on my Sig 75.

I do want to try a lot of different wires, builds, set-ups which is one reason I ordered a dripper. Your Ti build is something I will for sure keep in mind as I progress through all the different wires to use :) Juice wise, I make my own and am hooked on apple, lemon, and some nuts mixed with vanilla or chocolate. I am at 6mg nic but want to get that down to 3 real soon.

So much to learn and try. It can be really overwhelming if I let it. And you are right, the help we get around here is awesome!

Yeah I didn't like subohming with Kanthal. It was too hot for me. I've used NI200 which is a PITA but I loved the flavor using TC. Then I tried Ti all the good things about Nickel but lasts a lot longer and really durable. You don't have to have a coiler to wrap it but it really helps. I've been using Unkamen and it is really springy can be a hassle to hand wrap it but with a coiler you can wrap a contact coil and stretch it out the push it back together and come out with a perfect spaced coil and that 5 wrap 3mm works really well. When it gets gunked up about 3 weeks you can take it apart leve the coil in the atty and use a brush and brush it under hot water and get another 3 weeks. Some guys do that 2 or 3 times I just do it once then recoil it. It's really strong where nickel is super soft. You can use it with any mod that does TC and has nickel mode you just have to offset the temp. I tried NiFe52 which some people thought was the miracle wire. You can wrap a coil just like Kanthal and dry burn it make it glow and works good with TC. It helps if you have a mod with manual TCR adjustment. I didn't like it as well as Ti so went back to that and going to stay with that. From everything I have read and heard from others it is very safe if you use it right. The NiFe the only good stuff is from Germany that's what I got I think there is a couple others Resistherm is one but like I said I didn't care for it. Ti grade1 is just right for me. I have never tried clapton. Some good threads are TC Beyond NI200 and Titanium wire vaping and safety. Lots of good info there.
