That Kanger EVOD2 is on her istick30, She dont care for the loose draw on my subtank mini, and I have heard so many people brag about the nautilus mini tank I was thinking about getting her one. Not sure if that nautilus mini will have a tighter draw or not?

I just got a GS Air M. They have 2 sizes and I love it. I like a tighter draw and I can adjust the air flow down and it works great. Gives great vapor too. Fasttech just got them in and I think their price is $7.17 ea. Sweet Vapes has them for $9.95 ea. and they have the cotton coils for it for $9.something a 5 pack. I own a Nautilus. I love the tank. It's very well made. The only problem I have with mine is that when you open it to refill it, the coil head will stay in place and you have to remove it and put it back in the cap. It doesn't hurt anything just messy and inconvenient. But the tank is great. The one I have hold 4ml. The GS Air is lighter weight. :)

... cellophane tape over the markings to extend their life.

put scotch tape...

Clear tape I think would be a complete waste of time cause the tape would come off easily along with the numbers also.

I have scotch taped syringes I've been using for three years without tape replacement.

The Nautilus four selectable air holes provide a very good range of draws. I use the second largest hole for most of my vaping.

That GS Air M looks nice, I will show her that one and see what she thinks (shes gonna say "its cute" lol). Them evod2's have the problem of leaving the coil head in the tank, that or it loosens just enough so you have juice seeping out the bottom.
I was actually hoping to find a good RTA and buy some extra RBA's so I could just prebuild them for her when Im on the road, but that might not be how this is goin down. Thank you!

The head must be tight in the base; the tank not as tight. Actually the tank just needs to be snug on the base without leaking.

And yes, I'm a Nautilus fan boy!

I am using it on an iStick 40W but it can be used on my Coolfire as long as I don't use a TC coil. So I like that it is interchangable. I also just bought Authentic Joyetech eVic VTC Mini 60W TC VW Variable Wattage APV Box Mod $69.90 Authentic Joyetech eVic VTC Mini 60W TC VW Variable Wattage APV Box Mod - 1-60W / 200-600'F(100-315'C) / 1*18650 / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping and with the code MAP you can get it for $38.and change. I don't know how long the code will be good but it's been working. :)

My hubby starts his new job with Maverick out of North Little Rock on the 28th. Have you heard of them?

I tighten the coil as tight as I can by hand. I learned not to tighten the top too tight when I had to get hubby to open it for me. Now I just tighten it until it is nice and snug. Right now I am using 2 of them on my Coolfire IVs. I use one of them for my ADV. But I am really liking the GS Air too. Thanks for the tip on the Nautilus. :)

Yeah looking at a picture, it looks like they dont have those big gaping holes the subtank mini has.

$10 for an Itaste VV V3 here.
I got 2.

That e-cigg would be plenty for her, she never turns that istick 30 up over 8w. She likes being able to vape for 4 days without recharging though.

They all have there little finicky things don't they, Im hoping she goes for the Nautilus, but she will probably go for the "cute one", lol.

I really appreciate everyone’s input, you have all been so helpful! As soon as she gets back from town I will show these to her. Thank You!

While I was pecking at the keyboard you all snuck a few posts in, lol. Thanks for the link and the code thats awesome!
Oh yeah, I remember seeing Maverick trucks as early as about 1992, decent equipment, met a lot of happy drivers, they are a fairly large fleet so just like any other truckin job there will be some pro/con trade off's. For the most part I think they treat the drivers pretty good, seem to keep them loaded and making money!
Tell him to be safe out there and stack some cash, 10/4 :thumb:

ETA: Refer has been a little slow this year, but I know some flatbeds that have been keeping pretty darned busy.

Yes, it's much tighter. Great flavor, & a good step up from an Evod. Get the 1.6 coils for it. That will give her a better vape rang than the others. Especially if she's using lower watts. For me I couldn't adjust my istick higher than 8.5 without burning my juices & coils & some juices are better at higher power. I was using 1.8 coils.

She wanted the "cute one", then we flipped the page and she fell in love with the nautilus. So we also decided it would be a good idea to have a spare mod around, and Im a little under powered with the istick 30w.
That joytech looks good, but Im not real interested in any extra circuitry (TC), we have had pretty good luck with these isticks and I hear good things from other people so I found this 100w istick for 32.39 free shipping at vaping cheap,
Eleaf iStick 100W $32.39 | Vaping Cheap
using promo " 100wattdeal "
Don't know much about that web are they pretty decent to deal with?

ETA: wait its ecig avenue

He's starting out long haul flatbed. You're still driving, right? Thank you. He's been trying to come up with a CB handle LOL We've had a lot of fun thinking of names. Thanks for the support. I've been struggling with it a whole lot more than he has. LOL

Stay away from things like Sweetie Pi & Iron Man. That's just asking for trouble!

Most of the sweeteners for DIY is Sucralose.

Any brand better than another? I've dropped a lot of my old juice vendors because of diketones and have gone to ones that have tested and posted test results. It's like starting all over again. I didn't realize how much I had spent over the years on juice LOL and equipment. Where do you DYIers get yours if you use it? :)

Each flavor stands on it's own as far as ingredients. The brand doesn't matter. Most of the brands are coming out with new formulas without all that. Vendors just sell the selection of brands. Bull City Vapers, EcigExpress, Wizard Labs are three i've used. Wizard sells sample sizes for 1.49, I think it is. Then you can play some without being out much. You can get pg/vg from all of them, too.
