Picture of Your Setup Part 2!

[Thanatopsis]

Your collection will grow if you plan to go that route, but you are living a healthier lifestyle and part of a great community!

Definitely. The 3 friends of mine that were the heaviest smokers all switched, one only a month ago but the others a year or more. I figured if they can do it I can. When I first switched, I avoided having any coffee or beer for 5 or 6 days since I knew that would make me want to smoke more than anything else. I smoked 4 cigarettes during my first day vaping and now it's been 2 weeks. Upgrading to the Subtank and 30w istick definitely helped too. I can tell my collection will grow by the fact that I already got a new one this soon. However, I'm extremely happy with the models I got considering how many choices are out there.

Just got my Poldiac, Cloud Wizard and OverOne dripper in the mail today. Love love love it. I've badly wanted a real Poldiac for a long time, and made do with a clone for quite a while. It took a lot of futzing around with the FT clone to get it working decently; replaced parts of the firing pin mechanism with other materials, etc.

But the authentic really IS leaps and bounds better. Does the vapor taste better? No, of course not, but the thing feels better and didn't take hours of frustrating work to get it to put out.

Where does one find one of those devices?

Looks like a SunBox Skynet Mini. Pink Mule used to have them, not sure if they still do. Not sure who else might carry them or if they're being made anymore. I kinda wish SunBox would make a P3 version with some kind of variable height adjustment to accommodate 18350/18500/18650 P3 extensions.

Where do you shop? I only know of 2 places. 1 I hate and 1 that doesn't carry anything that I really need, BUT i like their juice a lot more.

The only local shop I've even been inside is the Carolina Vapor Mill, downtown near Spartanburg Regional. I love the place, mainly because the employees have been really polite and easy to just gab with. I haven't needed to buy any hardware, but I do REALLY dig a lot of their house liquids. Especially their Zombie Juice, the Bandit, Bonnie and Clyde, Hair of the Dog, and Twisted Metal.

Review of the Cartel Blaq Mod and Cascata RDA...
The Cartel Blaq is a stunning variation of the Cartel V1, with a gorgeous deep black finish over a brass mod, and an updated bottom contact (wider). The threading on my #077 is flawless. The plating has to be treated gently- as with any other "black" plated device- I imagine it is easily scratched or scuffed.
There are some issues with mixing caps/tubes from other Cartel V1's - the fit may be very tight or incompatible because of different thread tolerances due to the Blaq's plating. The parts that fit- and many do- look absolutely gorgeous with any combination. The mod is plated inside and out - aside from the brass button, which makes sense practically and adds a nice accent. (Pic shows my copper button).
The Cascata RDA
Works great with a single coil- IMO the perfect airflow for the modern flavor dripper....
Pictured is a Build by Gino @ CartelMods using 26awg Nichrome...
The Cartel V2 drip tips cover the extra airflow (top cap) which is accessible by switching to a smaller drip tip...
I find the Cascata to be rather exceptional - there is no whistling, no spitback, and a rather distinctive, luxuriously rich and flavorful vape...considering that my preference has always been dual-coil builds. This is not a "traditional" tight-draw RDA with restricted airflow- IMO it "feels right" for a smooth, full vape, and is a success for a new direction in Cartel RDA releases.
I have one sample of the new Cartel juice line- Honeydew? Fantastic- great flavor, great vapor production and just the right "hint of mint"- seems very promising and I look forward to their other flavors!
Thanks to Gino & Nikki @ CartelMods!
