So I got my mini today. Man, this thing is tiny. I love it. Is is totally pocket friendly. I was pleasantly surprised at just how small it actually is.
Very pleased with my Mini, too. Much more pocket worthy than the full-size with a cartotank on top. Noticably lighter in weight, too. Definitely going to be getting a Serenity Gear flexi-sleeve/lanyard for this when he is taking orders again. This will be my out-and-about APV.

It will be 82 full days off analogs in 18 minutes. I was looking to quit smoking and bumped in to an article on e-cigs on a tech blog I used to read (cause now I'm just on the forums all day lol) . So I decided I'd get a starter kit of some kind and give it a go.

I ended up buying a really crappy 510t cig-a-like kit. It didn't have nic in it and I knew that so I ordered some nic juice too. So I got the 510t kit and instantly knew that it had to be better. It was keeping me off cigarettes but just barely.

My next purchase was an Ego Twist with a mini vivi nova. That was a big step up and I used that for about 2 weeks before wanting something with a bit more juice storage and a bit more battery life and power.

So at about a month I decided to take the plunge on a mod. I love technology and gadgets so I got an evic with some cartos and a carto tank. Now THIS WAS THE BOMB! Seriously, how could vaping have gotten any better after getting a carto tank, I just didn't know hahah. Now I can't stand the taste of cartos and hate vaping them.

Used the carto tank for about 2 weeks when I thought I'd give rebuildables and mech mods a try. I picked up an IGO-L dripper, AGA-T2 and Smok Natural at roughly the same time. The first few days were an adventure but I instantly fell in love with rebuildables. I was using my IGO-L a lot, and my AGA-T2 a little less, but still vaping it. I love the vape you get from a genesis but I hate how much juice they go through so I don't use it too much anymore.

A few weeks after having my IGO-L and knowing that I liked RDAs I got an unexpected bonus at work and decided I needed to treat myself. I grabbed a Provari mini and an eBaron Dripper Pro. That has been my main all day device since. I really am in love with it. It's got the perfect draw, the taste is great, the juice use isn't as good as a carto tank but certainly better than a genesis.

Then last week I somehow managed to convince my wife to let me spend a bit of money on some hardware. So I ordered a Killer 705 and a tank and drip tip from greekvapes. I am super excited for this device, the taste of an RDA but in a tank. Man I'm stoked. So I got my Killer 705 yesterday and I was gonna use it in my crappy Boge carto tank. Problem is that it fits through the bottom cap fine, but not the top cap for some reason. Oh well my tank will be here on Monday.

Then in a few weeks from now I'll have a VW box mod here lol.



Five people have also started vaping because of me too, so that's awesome. One is still a dual user, but he's cut back a ton so that's good.

chadsmo, what a great vaping adventure you are having.

I totally agree with the RDAs. I love my IGO-Ls. I really enjoy using my RBAs and RDAs in the evenings. They are little power houses. As such, I look into the Dripper Pro. Like the KIller 705, does the Dripper Pro require a NR - R - NR coil assembly, as well?

I received some Ikenvape 510 Mega Fusion cartomizers a couple days ago. These things are ridiculous great. My cartotanks have gone to another level of vaping with these particular cartos.

Aren't they great? :D

They are worth the wait. I wish that Ikenvape's production could keep up with their demand. Then more carto users could enjoy them, also. I waited a couple of months to be able to order my first batch. I ordered a rather large supply solely based on their high recommendation by friends. I was not disappointed. Very clean, untainted juice flavors, easy wicking, pleasing air flow, noticably longer life. Good consistant quality, very few duds if any.

My last Ikenvape purchase had gotten pretty low, and with Ikenvapes OOS, I made an order for my backup cartos - Smoktek 3.0ohm single coils. A few days after receiveing them, the Platinum and 510 Fusions that I use became in stock, so even though I had enough cartos to last me a month, I ordered large batch of both the Plats and Fusions just to be safe. You never know when they will come back in stock again.

I'm sure that is what happens with other Ikenvape customers. Order the largest quantity allowed by Ikenvape (25) whether you need them or not, ensuring you never run. Buy what you can when you can. Pretty much guarantees Ikenvape that each shipment received will sell out within days (or hours). Exceptional product = loyal customers.

Yeah, they use the exact same ceramic cups and coils. I've rebuilt about 10 of them and they're getting better and cleaner looking every time. I'll wait till I'm on my last one and then sit down and make like 5 of them.

I've been using some silver NR wire that I bought that is nearly done, but I should have my 100ft of nickel wire by late next week ish so that should work out fine. I'm hoping I like the nickel wire more cause the silver wire can be a tad fragile. When I get the nickel wire and have some spare to screw around with I'm going to try a .7 ohm stacked dual coil setup in my killer for my mech mod. That thing should hit like a train lol.

The more I use them the more I love them. And I really like the new color too - classy!

Aww, jeez louise. I was hoping to make it through another night without buying anything! New colors may do me in. I have a white and a blue. That is enough. That is enough. That is enough....(repeat 100x and rinse)

Yes, yes, yes, etc . . .

I ordered the max allowed, as well. With the IKV cartos, I simply fill them, insert into the tank, install a drip tip and vape. I don't know about other vapers, but with my 2 previous carto brands, I had to slightly enlarge the 2 existing holes on the cartos, and occasionally dry pull to prime the carto or drip into the top of the carto. I have not had to do any of that for the past 2 days with the IKV cartos.

Definitely worth the wait and this is how vaping with a carto tank should be . . . Plug and Play.

I am going to have to finally try those cartos. I keep hearing about how great they are.

If you look under the "completed" listings, one sold for $300.00. :blink:

I have found with eBay some people are just "addicted" to the thrill of the bid and win! I looked at eBay after your last post about ProVari's on ebay and saw the black one, the bid was up to 197.xx and still had a day to go... but geez 300.00!!!!

I just got my 22mm tank in from IBT and its really nice. I like the clear tank more than my swirl tank and the red caps are great looking. I have to say it does look a little big on my mini tho. It will look just right on my regular Provari when I get it in I think. Very pleased with IBT, amazing tanks, fast shipping and a thingy. What more could you ask for.
