Nice, I've got one of those on the way & a glass tank for it from Ibtanked. i've head lots of good things about this little inexpensive rba. We can have fun together learning to use it.

It'll be interesting that's for sure. I need a meter for this thing don't I?

You don't really need a meter, you can vape by the seat of your pants. Just build a wick/coil setup and try it out. Then add or remove a coil wrap and compare to your previous setup. OK - that said, it is useful to either have a PV that can check ohms or a meter, but you can get along without one.

I want one. :p

Now we're gettin' ever so close to my dream PV! Although I'd take VW in place of VV.

I foresee a PV where its size will only be restricted by tank volume. Solar rechargeable flat pack batt, controller chip and a tank... yeah, that's da one I'll buy. Oh... wait... did I note a $pecial pre-order pri¢e?

Waaaay too many enablers here...

Then I'm good to go. My Tube has a ohm check.

Thanks Mike, I'd been looking for a mod to celebrate my 2 years smoke free but all I've used for the last 18 months is vv box mods. Now all I have to do is wait 6 weeks, the mail lady is going to run when she sees me by mid February......

:D

Congrats on almost 2 years smoke free - that's wonderful. I'm sitting on my hands to keep from reaching for the plastic card - the Billet looks like such an good out-and-about PV. I'm really intrigued with it.

Uh Huh. You can just imagine the look I gave him when he told me he wasn't going to want to buy anything new for a few months!!! Seriously?

Hi all. Just ordered a truckload of stuff from Wizard Labs to give DIY another shot. Tried last year with no success. Figured I'd give it another go. Been going through the DIY threads making myself dizzy but picked up some tips that may prove helpful over my last attempts. I'll let you know in a week or so if the supplies will go PIF or not. I do have more confidence this time. Over the past two years I have been through many juices from many vendors and have only been happy with a very small handfull of them. Couldn't get it out of my head that they are the experts. Well now I do not think that way. Took hundreds of dollars to finally get that point, but I'm here now. Most I gave away or trashed. If I keep that perspective in mind maybe I won't give up so easily this time. To me there is a big plus knowing exacly what's in the mix instead of being at the vendors mercy all the time. Wish me luck.
EVIC is in transit and can't wait to fire it up with some home brews!

One of the things that put me more t ease with DIY was that if I did mess up, it's no big deal to dump it. Just make small batches and take notes so if it turns out great you can duplicate it in a larger batch or at the very least, know what didn't work. These days when my tank starts to taste "off" or the juice starts getting rally dark I don't worry about dumping it for a good clean out and then fill it up clean again. I also feel more generous about filling a bottle for my friends who like my mix. Janet's Heaven (Thank you Iffy) is a big hit if you'd like a pear/blueberry mix. I gave some to a friend to try to get her to stop buying prefilled cartos. "They're only $16 she said...... Good grief. Boy have we come a long way since those days!!

Good luck on your next try. Have fun!
