I looked at their website and it looks to me like they are going out of business. They are OOS on most things that I Know anything about. Well just got that, I thought I remembered something from Busardo that they weren't very good for TC but that's not important for a lot of people. I just hope they don't talk her into the one DNA200 they have. They only have 6 mods in stock.
True of all Aussie vape supply shops. They are always out of stock. Have to pre order or wait for their next shipment. It's frustrating.

But that's just me. I'm in to TC and the SX for me is the one. But if I was into the kind of vaping I used to do and still do which is with Kanthal I wouldn't mess around and just get a Provari. Well built and last forever but a little outdated but I still love mine.
TC = temp control? And SX is what?

Vape? I have used both the nebox and topbox and like them both very much. Have had no problems with either one. Another plus is the range of coils that you can use in them.

Thank you, all this helps so much. I hate buying blind. Vaporfi clipped me pretty good. Still, 2 months off smokes.

That's the spirit!

Yep, TC is temperature control. I wouldn't suggest you go there just yet on your journey, but all else being equal, getting a mod that can do it is nice future-proofing for your hardware. Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to use it. So if same price and comfort in the hand, I'd go with a mod that's TC capable.

SX is just a shortened name of a mod.

Yeah @Vape? I would look at the Presa and the Kanger like he was saying just because a mod has TC you don't have to use it you can also use it just like any VW mod but then you have the option down the road. SX is IMO the best TC mod in the business some would disagree and say the DNA200 is but I have 7 SX's at $200 each but I pretty much only vape titanium and they do it so well. Like I said if I wanted a high end VW only mod I would get a Provari Radius because also IMO they are the best built mod of that type and I prefer box mods but they are expensive and you can get a good quality VW mod much cheaper. The Presa they have I don't know what the resistance requirement is and the Kanger would probably do you well too. I also don't know if those are battery type like an 18650 but I think they are so you will need batteries and a charger. Good batteries are LG, Samsung and AW. If they just use 1 probably 3 batteries would be sufficient. That way you have 1 in it 1 charging and 1 charged. As far as clones some are good some are not. You'll get used to figuring that out they usually tell you.

I went and watched bursardo's beginners video. I'm cool until the ohms law and math equations start. Then I just lose the plot. I'm an English and fine art major. This is basically my list of requirements, an inbuilt battery, 1.5 pre made atomizers , Pyrex tank that's large capacity, and Vw. Safety features.. . Yes, I have to import, no nicotine sold here. So it's usually a us or uk product. And if I don't like any of the ones she's got, I'll at least finally have an idea about them. I've never seen a box mod in use, except in videos. Once I have the tutorial, I'm hopin, I could then go through an online vendor with a better understanding of what the heck I'm buying and how to use it. It'll be fine.

There are tons of US juice companies. A really good pyrex tank with 1.5 and 1.8 heads is the Aspire Nautilus. It has been around a long time and still one of the best. I'm using one right now. They have 4 different size air holes and work great. Lots of people use them still. I use the 1.8 heads and they came out with a head called a BVC Bottom Vertical Coil. The heads last about 2 weeks depending on use. Very simple to use and change heads. I vape mine at about 16-17 watts with the 1.8 head. Excellent flavor an vapor. Vape Kings carry them and get the full size 5ml not the mini. At least for me the mini has to tight of an air draw. You won't be disappoited. The only drawback is if you drop them on something hard it breaks the glass. They make really cool SS ones with holes in so you can see the juice. The One on the right is the Nautilus on an Istick TC40 with the stainless steel tank.

I'm the same way. I buy all my batteries at 20 amps, & build all my coils single, at 1.5 ohms. I've made different coils just to see what it was about & wasn't impressed, but I didn't do it starting out. When it comes to Ohms law, etc, my eyes cross & I can't think. I'm more the arts type, too. No sciencing. Although physics & geometry make sense I can only stand about 5 seconds of it before I get sleepy. Monopoly does the same thing to me. I can applique & hand quilt, design quilts & play with colors for hours, but i can't sit down & cut & piece the quilt i just designed! It doesn't keep my attention.

Also that little Istick works very well in VW mode and only about $35 here. About the same as the tank if you get the SS it's about $10 more.

Yep I use a calculator but when wrapping Kanthal coils I know that 8 wraps of 28 guage makes a 1.5 ohm coil. At 2.5mm ID

The thing is I don't think they are clones, I think they are the real thing relabled. It's really too bad too because with what she spent she could've gotten a Provari and a few Nautilus full size and extra heads and had money left over. I know that Provari is criticized for not going TC and they don't have a lot of power but they have plenty and I think they are still the highest quality VV or VW PV's around. Last a lifetime and the Nautilus for someone who doesn't want to wrap coils are still one of the best most dependable around.
I can say without reservation that my P3 with a subtank mini on it at .59 ohms set to 15 watts is a VERY nice vape and was worth every penny. It is a far smoother vape than even the same atty moved over to the KBox mini it came with set at the same Watts.

Wow NZ no nic either. Guess you have to get it from Another country. Any place in Europe or USA has it not sure about getting it shipped to you. I'll have to ask Wolfenstark what he does about that where he gets his. UK still sells it I think. I saw you ordered some from MBV some people like them. I DIY.
I get the Nic ok, it's just a long wait, so I can't wait till the last minute to order.
