Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

You know I can't figure out why the P3 is so much more expensive then the Radius. Don't they do exactly the same as far as what is on the screen and figuring out how much money you are saving and stuff like that. The P3 even with their big sale is over $250 the Radius is like $199.

I don't know but I'm glad as I like the Radius more than the P3. I haven't been tempted to get another P3 but I will be getting another Radius.

It's got to come down manufacturing/materials costs. Can the carbon fiber body of the Radius be that much cheaper than machining the tubes for the P3?

IDK but something else that has been going around is that the joyetech boards might replace the dna's. They were talking about the RX200 but I think it is very near the same board as what is in the VTC's and the new Vapor Flasks. When I had the mini in my hand it handled TC as well as the RX. It's very smooth with Ti just a little off in the TCR but that is adjustable although I found it was smoother using the Ti mode and a higher temp then I am used to using with the SX's by about 50-80 degrees depending on how clean your coil is My SX run it at 430 VTC about 490+. I did find if I set the TCR to like 370-375 then it was very near the same except for the fact that it handles temp like the dna not like the SX.

The house chicken also seems to like the vapes, but if she sees the cloud coming at her, she ducks, then stands up tall when it gets to her.

She's NOT a duck, she's a CHICKEN!

Yep well I just ordered 3 VTCminis with Ni,VW,Ti and SS316modes plus manual TCR from MVS. Plus I ordered 10 doohickeys from KP for a wopping $3.90 MVS was $0 including Priority Shipping. I think they will be great for what I wanted and all the power I need 75w. Plus that damned door that bothered me on the Cuboid I already see someone wrote a review that his was loose and it wouldn't sit flat on a table. I am just about sure that is going to be a weak point with them. The magnetic door on the minis fits so nice and with the doohickeys all my tanks will fit great plus I don't have to worry if I go somewhere and loose one being out $200.

Are you talking about the Evic when you say the VTCs? I have one and I LOVE IT! I haven't noticed my tanks fitting wonky on it, but so far, I've only been using Innokin tanks (iSub G) on it. Oh, and one of those Vaporesso cCell tanks. They all fit nice and flush, though. I'm glad you figured out a fix for your tank, because this is a really nice little mod. I'm really REALLY impressed by it. I only use mine in wattage mode yet, though.

Retraction! Fluid Vapes has fine customer support.

About 1/2 hour after contacting them via their 'contact form on their website, I received a email saying the are shipping a replacement via priority mail - no cost to me.

Then about 2 hrs after ... I got a phone call from them appologizing for the slip up. Again told me a new one would be sent priority mail, no charge, do whatever I liked w/ the defective one, and given his personal telephone# in case I should ever have problems in the future.

Nice ... basically the same thing happened to me ... get another KFL-Lite for the defective one original sent from Fluid Vapes.

Thanks for the correction, Mike! Good to hear they came through.

Almost makes me want to receive something defective

Legs, I love my Evic VTC mini. I have a second one coming. So far have only used power mode, but I have the Ti wire sitting on the kitchen table. Just been fiddling with that blasted Kayfun. Now that I have a fix, and a new one coming, perhaps tomorrow I will work with TC.

And David, it's a real PITA getting defective stuff, but it's nice when the companies stand by their products and give great service. A free replacement and getting to keep the defective one for parts is wonderful!

You are prolly thinking for the HG2 brown 3000 mah ones. Good for up to about 60-75 watts in a single battery mod.

 

[Debadoo]

Gotta wear sumpin' over my face when I go to da bank fer 'nother 'direct cash' withdrawal fer mo' vapin' gear! Pantyhose mask, a lil' note and... vape on!

Hope they letchya vape in da pokey!!

I think I found my Kayfun problem!!!

oh good! I was going to say to contact them anyhow. I did by email and got no response, so I called them, and they were wonderful! Very apologetic that I'd had no email response and said they'd look into that. I was having an issue ordering, and they were quite helpful. I never did get a confirmation email, but on their site I saw the tracking number for my order, and it said delivery on the 11th, but I got it today!!! Love my new kbag! It will be great to put all my build stuff in and be able to take to Florida! Won't have to drag out my big box all the time now.

I know .. the option is still there, but when I right click, and choose that option, it just doesn't work anymore, ... not since day 1 that they changed everything. .. it sucks

well that stinks, hope FF works for ya!

My current wild cherry is from Mt Baker Vapor, and the other two are TFA.
My palate isn't soficisted enough to really tell much difference between makers.

Thanks, yeah mine isn't either, but I was wondering if you were using concentrated flavors or not, and you answered that for me. I may drop the %'s a bit. And I found out I do have cherry, but am out of coconut.

She lives about 450 miles away.
She came to Perth last week and we stayed together in a cabin.
Im going to her place on Monday.

oh wow, well best wishes to you both! That's a heck of a distance though. You'll put that new car to good use huh. How's your woodvil workin out for ya??

I think you're wanting the brown ones, the LG HG2's

 

[Myrany]

ok so it is the HG2 not the HE2 good deal. Thought I would give them a shot since you all like them instead of my Samsung 25Rs

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Nothing wrong with 25R except they will not give as much run time as the HG2.

No disagreement there, clnire. And especially vexing when it's new to you, so you don't have the head start!

 

[Debadoo]

oh, wolf......meant to tell ya that there is an ECF logo on the very bottom left that will allow you to choose the default, (which is ECF) or the dark theme, or the newer one that is like the default, but a bigger font.

Jup the brown hg2's are the ones folks are going nuts over. I know they're working great in the woodvils, not sure about the grands. I've heard mixed reviews on those. When I do get batts, figgered I'd get a couple of those for the woodvil and see how they do in the grand.

 

[clnire]

yep what is that 41 good parts?

Pretty much! But now that I know what part to replace once it gets here I will have another working K4.

No disagreement there, clnire. And especially vexing when it's new to you, so you don't have the head start!

Oh so true! And this thing with all the parts was rather intimidating from the start! Fortunately I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and being an old trouble shooter, I know to break it down to the basics. And glad I got 2 and one was good so I could compare. Thanks so much for your help! Mike too!

Note: Many people have had problems w/ the KFv4's and nickel and/or titanium builds w/ TC mods. The little spring in the 510 connection path isn't the 'best' for a good steady connection. It has caused minor fluctuations at the level TC mods measure resistance. Not noticeable at all for Kanthal builds and 'normal' mech or regulator vaping.

Yep they are for the subbox and the P3 mostly

Still not subohming on the REO Grand yet.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Just watched A Todd review where his rig he was vaping on cost more than I have spent on vaping in the last year.

 

[Debadoo]

yeah me either, I tend to like dual coils that net 1.3 ohms. But they're cheaper than the aw imr's and everyone seems to like em for the woodvils, so figgered I'd try em
