Owning multiple mods?

[bsidb]

Thanks for the thoughts on this so far.


. I still find myself wanting cigarettes though, but far less than before I started using this less than a week ago. Would getting 18mg nicotine help with wanting to fall back to cigarettes?

yes, a higher nic is in order

There are many benefits...but I'd say one thing at a time my man. If your focus right now is to get off the analogues, make that your focus, and enjoy your setup. If down the road you find you want to see what else is out there, ECF is loaded to the gills with good information and great people who can help answer your questions.

I say this not to sound condescending at all (and hope I don't come across as such)...I just know that when I first got into this I found it was very easy to get overwhelmed, both in terms of terminology, but also with how many different options there are for essentially accomplishing the same thing.

No, that is great advice. I think a backup may be a good idea in the future just in case something happens to this one, but right now I can spend the same amount of money and just get 3 new tanks to swap out for flavors. The mod I got works great for my first one from what little i understand.

...which is exactly where you want to be right now. Anyways, congrats again and welcome to ECF.

A backup MOD?

Only if yours includes things that can break. My mod is mechanical. There's only 1 moving part. Unless it's run over and crushed by a steamroller or something then there really isn't anything that can go wrong with it. The only part that can break is the button spring, but even with that broken I could still make it work long enough to get a new spring.

And as for needing multiple mods for multiple flavors, all of the mods I've seen have removable toppers. You don't need multiple mods, just multiple toppers.


I'm all for collecting things. I have several collections of my own. But let's be honest here, the ONLY real reason to have multiple mods is to collect them for the enjoyment of collecting them. There is no NEED, only desire.

Well you know the old saying "..... happens!"

For someone trying to quit smoking they don't need another reason to fire up.

Mechanicals can break too, if yours has any threading anywhere, that's a weak point. Yes, that includes the 510 connection. Most issues with a mech can be repaired, but if it's something that takes time or requires a replacement part, you'll be SOL if you don't have a backup.

To the OP, if you're still having cravings for real cigarettes, higher nic might help, or you just may need an actual cigarette. There's much more to a cigarette than nicotine and it takes many people awhile to get free of it all.

That's a bit of a stretch don't you think? Do you worry about your car flying into pieces and being unusable because it's packed full of threaded bolts, screws, and pins?

Yes, that includes the 510 connection.

So? Don't ruin your threads.

This isn't something that just "breaks". If you're damaging the threads then YOU are the one doing the damage. If you need to buy backups because you don't know how to thread two pieces together properly then I'm not sure what to tell you. It's pretty sad though.

Like I said, in most mechs there is only ONE moving part, and that's the button spring. If anything else breaks, it's because YOU broke it. If you need backups for protection against the things that you do then you need to learn how to take better care of your stuff.

Backup battery is understandable. Backup coil could be useful. But needing a backup mech mod? That's like saying you need a backup front door to your house, and to be honest, the front door is more complex and has more moving parts.

So, you've never dropped anything? I dropped an old vamo once, the aga-t I had attached popped out, stripping the 510. I've also dropped my favorite mech once, it tweaked the locking ring on it's threads and almost became useless. Maybe you baby your mods, but in my life, sometimes things get dropped. A backup is never a bad idea.

I can't tell from your post if you think negatively on those with multiple mods or not?

I'm in love with my REO's, and the Woodvils are not only rugged and durable, but pieces of art. I like having 2 or 3 flavors going at once, so usually have three going at one time when at home. I take one to work with me, and those rotate.

My metals go with me when I'm out and about and a higher risk of dropping, though the woods can take it, I'd rather not scar them up.

Do I have mine as back ups? Nope - I have the number I have because I love the product and not a one of them are identical in aethetics.

I got svd in july 2013, then nemesis with kick in november and now i am waiting for origin mech. So 3 mods in 9 months. I am using nemy and svd daily with kayfun and aqua. Vaping a little on one and then on another when i am at home. On the rgo i use only nemesis. For now. When i get origin i will be good for quite a while. My svd has a broken fire button but it still works and its useful for checking the resistance. Origin and nemy are gonna be my daily most used devices. When the kick2 clone is gonna be available, i dont see any need to get dna20 or 30 mod...

 

[Malarky]

Hmm. For me I use My provari mini in 18650 with a Protank2 for everyday driving/at work. When I am at home I use my Magneto and Nimbus RDA or AGA-T+. I do not worry about backup devices, just battery backups. I have dropped my provari a couple times and feel really sorry for the concrete or tile it landed on. It only has minor scratches on it that are hardly noticeable. The provari is a tank with a warranty, after the warranty I can still get it fixed. The Magneto is a beast also, no spring to worry about, just a magnetic switch. If I break the magnets then I probably do not deserve to have one.

 

[Thepmc81]

Always a good idea 2 have a back up.
I have a smoktech sid, sentinal, k100 & an origin. Along with various rda's & tanks.

I Keep a back-up.. I like to collect things so I see my collection ever growing!!! I have a VTR, MVP2, Panzer, and I have Sentinel on the way.. I see many Mods in my future, eyeing a Hana Mod V3 but that 500$ Price tag eludes me... Maybe, I can swing it for my B Day Next month, if the Wife lets me!!!

 

[Sstaas62]

No need for more than 1 mod other then personal pref. and some might consider them a "trophy". and it never hurts to have options.

 

[tnt56]

Welcome to ECF first off. Personally I just became obsessed with my mods. I don't really have a clue how many I have or why. I just like new toys. Some have gone to a new home and other's have taken their place.

 

[Frenchfry1942]

I have 4 Mods
MVP 2 - Primary
SID - Dripper (was old primary but not impressed)
Vision Spinner vv 1300 - Part of system that stays in car
Vision Spinner vv 1300 - Extra - Better than the SID

When I started, I made sure that I didn't have the need to buy a pack of cigs. I carried my primary and the car had a spare.

It worked for me.

Lots of us get shiny-itis. Also, as you read the forum and see that this person got something and it is wonderful and another got something that's the bomb, sometimes you just have to buy one to see for yourself. All you really NEED is one good thing that works for you and a backup for when the battery runs out or if something breaks, so you always have one that is charged up. I have a couple of inexpensive batteries that are in the drawer for backups, but have bought a bunch of different toppers and a ton of different juices. You can very easily spend $$, but just as easily avoid spending...if you have some self-control, LOL. Personally, I figure that if I don't spend more $$ in a month than I spent on cigs in a week, I am still ahead of the game.

Agreed.

I bought my first ego, then left it at work & bought another one immediately.

Now I have two 650mah Egos, a 1200mah ego-V (because I wanted to try a VV), and an X-Fire, e-Fire because it's cool as hell.

But I still prefer the small size of the 650mah ego & use them the most.

 

[Taledus]

I have another question and don't want to start another thread. Are you not supposed to leave the mods in the car?

The reason I ask is I left mine in the car for a dr. apt. an hour later I came out, and it was like sucking on a straw on an almost empty cup...like the tank was flooded. I had to take my tank off and thoroughly clean it, all threads, and tubing before it was right again. I can see if it was really hot outside, but it was just warm enough to not need a jacket.

I don't think there is any sort of flaw with the tank, as I can leave the mod laying on its side overnight with no problems.

Those are rather arrogant and condencending statements IMHO. Not all mech mods are created equal nor are all of them manufactured with durable materials. And not everyone is handy with replacing broken parts themselves.

Not everyone is a fan of mechanical mods, myself included. I have some, but they were my first mods. I have moved in another direction which better suits my personal needs - regulated variable voltage mods.

The vape experience in a mechanical mod is dependent upon the charge status of the battery. This means it starts out great on a fully charged battery, but the vape gradually goes downhill as the battery is discharged during use. A regulated mod will keep the voltage output of the battery consistant to where you set it. Your last puff will be as good as the first until the battery is drained.

I change flavors 3 - 4 times a day. I like variety. Not all flavors taste their best at a voltage between 3.5 - 4.2 volts. Some taste better at a higher voltage. A mechanical can't do that.

And before you can say that I can always put a Kick into my mechs, I considered that and ruled that out as an option. Using a Kick often requires you to drop down to a smaller battery size, so that means less battery time. It requires you to remove the Kick each time you adjust the wattage, which I would do at least a few times a day with using different flavors (and require carrying a screwdriver small enough to turn the wattage adjustment screw on the Kick). The Kick is a rather fragile circuit board, so I wouldn't consider it all that dependable.

I prefer the convenience and ease of use of a regulated mod. I can make changes with voltage with a few easy clicks of a button. I like the built-in protective circuitry which a mech doesn't have. I like the convenience of a built-in voltage meter and ohm meter, which again a mech doesn't have.
