It's funny. We insist on mods that take replaceable batteries in order to be vapocalypse-proof. Then, we complain about the trouble and expense of buying those batteries.
That's why I'm only buying US made that are repairable by the maker.

Not too sure about that Dancing.... You build a low coil and up the watts. So, logic aside, if you use a low battery, you would need a high resistance coil.
The way it SEEMS to work is that the higher resistance, the more heat is generated per watt. The resistance of the electricity trying to go through the metal causes the heat.

There are a few things I've been watching, but I grabbed flavors earlier this month and totally blew the vape budget there. It's ok, because the place I get them at is only doing a discount on imported flavors. I'm trying to decide on another mod, but it's going to have to wait until maybe January. What do you think about this one? Made in TX with a lifetime transferrable warrenty. They have regulated & unregulated. HexOhm V2.1 - Craving Vapor

Have not researched the mod specifically but thinking there could be others of lesser value that more people like.
The body of it seems strong enough not too sure about the chip.

Batteries ordered. Page with all the Black Friday specials closed down.

It's really fast to do all your Black Friday shopping when you don't have much money! But, I finally won't have to scrounge so much to find batteries. Kind of. I really needed more.

Maybe it's time to start looking at my collection of mods based on the batteries they take. That way I wouldn't be ordering 2 of this, 2 of that, 2 of another, . . . . . Just order one (at most, 3) different kinds of batteries and be done with it.

I use 7 different kinds of batteries. Four different sizes, several button-top, several flat-top. That's ridiculous!
All of mine, 6 different models of PV, take 18650 or have built in. The VAMO can use 18350 but, I never did. Only thing I need concern myself with is max amp draw so I just buy high amp batteries and I have all my devices covered. Works out well.

I can tell when mine starts to go down. But i think with it being duel batt they'll last longer, & I can check & chan ge daily.
Don't forget to "marry" pairs of new batteries for them. It's good practice for safety reasons. I label mine "set #, battery 1", "set #, bat 2" etc. and charge them together as well.

I noticed two bottles of nic I didn't know I had in fridge door. 16mg/ml from early 2013. Who the heck buys 16mg/ml? :lol: I don't remember buying buying it but that was back in the mini stroke era, back when I'd finally QUIT SMOKING, joined ECF and found out what the FDA was up to. I have a minscule stash I didn't even remember acquiring. :D That ought to last a week or two.

I use 7 different kinds of batteries. Four different sizes, several button-top, several flat-top. That's ridiculous!
:w00t:
I haven't bought anything. :D
You're brave, I envy you.
Anyone? Pretty please?
I didn't know the answer, I'm really a vaping dunce. :cry:

I do, then I remember where we're headed and shut my trap. I'm so glad I don't smoke, bring on the sales.
Ok, thanks everyone. I guess I'll watch for used Reo's and learn about mechs.
More studying, sheesh. :cry: :p
I know, huh? If I remembered a tenth of the stuff I read I'd be happy. The advances are fast and furious right now, looks like that is going to come to a screeching halt. I wonder what advice we'll be giving out a year from now. Wonder if we'll (ECF) will be here a year from now.

Black Friday - I got some Nude Armour nic, new ProVari (for the stash) and enough batteries to get free shipping from from ProVape. It costs less to buy a new ProVvari 2.5 than have have the board replaced. Husband is happy to have something to give me for Christmas that I really want. :)

The thing is if the company that made it goes out of business because of being regulated out that won't do you any good.

Please I know you don't like Mechs but PLEASE get yourself at least one good one. Buy the little chips you can stick in a mech to make it regulated if you must. Just please have one good mech.
