    My quit story:

    Got an Innokin t18 vape pen & ejuice for Christmas.

    On Jan 21st, in my isolated rural farmhouse, I tripped up a step, and fell off my deck, I stuck a foot out, as I didn't want to land on my back (get back pain), and all my weight landed on that foot. Rang my Mum, who rang the ambulance, who rang an air ambulance :oops:

    In the ER, they told me I had 3 fractures of the ankle - needed surgery, and that I no longer smoked - if I wanted to keep my ankle.

    My cunning plan was to vape my head off for a few months, til the ankle had healed, then go back to smoking :facepalm:

    After two weeks of nicotine patches, gum, and the odd bathroom break vaping - I stayed at my parents to recover.

    Once there I took to vaping like a duck to water. Absolutely LOVED it - especially the flavours, and that I could vape inside.

    After a month, I decided I was now a vaper, and completely forgot my 'cunning plan'

    My fractures all healed amazingly. My orthopaedic surgeon was completely blown away :D

    I have all mine broken down into 250 liters then reduce size when one is opened.

    What did you break that down from, and how the heck do you dispense it? Tapped like a keg?

    But you won't run out, and may even be able to finance the revolution ;)

    I really wanted to like the Intake but the draw is just too darn tight for me especially after using the Zeus’s.

    It took a lot of tries for me to get the Intake coiled and wicked just right - more time I have ever spent on any tank - but it was time well spent since I trust it on my stabwood Thors. I would love another in Rainbow (I have 2 gold and one purple.) If you want to get rid of yours and it is rainbow (or black), I would be interested in taking it off your hands if you want to sell it.

    It was one fish. A new world record.
    I get jealous seeing shows like wicked tuna getting a thousand lb tunas and selling them for like $20k. I'd need to catch A LOT of fishies for $20k. And those jerks do it with just one fish

    Good morning, random folks:)

    Question of the day. What is your preferred vaping style as far as tanks go? MTL or DL? Drop-in coils or wind your own? etc?

    As for me, I put the Genny away long ago and over the years I've gotten lazy. These Zenith coils aren't helping any. Love the things. I'm strictly MTL and I rarely vape over 10W. Still loving my carto tanks also and use them daily. The only RBA I seem to want to coil is my old Mini Sub that I still love. I also still love my ego ones, just rewick over and over ( only ever had to coil one ). Also as for pods I love my Z-biip with also takes the Zenith coils and I love the tiny Minifit too. Keeping my ton of wire and prewound coils. Ya never know.

    I am mtl and rarely go over 15w. I HATE rebuilding, actually the installing coils is what I have so much trouble with and I don't like fiddling with stuff. I just want it to work, that is why I love the ego one and zenith coils. I prefer the zlide tank to the zenith.

    Strictly MTL and tootling for me, generally 8.5 watts. And pretty much either KFL2 or Skyline for toppers. (I do have a variety of other RTAs, egos and CLR heads, doggies, etc. in the stash, although with the number of the first two in the stash as well, don't know if I'll ever get down to them! ;) )

    And strictly rebuildable. Yes, some other gear is in the stash, but I just don't like the idea of needing to procure and store an indeterminate number of head for a variety of devices. A spool of Kanthal and I'm set.

    I understand your reasoning but at my age, I don't need to stock 100s of boxes of coils. But of course, the RTA's are your preferred vaping style so all is good:thumbs:

    I used to rebuild a lot but I've just gotten lazy with the vast improvement in today's coils.

    As soon as I get through the organization, I am going to try to sell most of the rba's and rta's. I will keep a few just in case but I don't want to mess with them unless I have to. I have a bunch of those ones you don't have to coil, just rewick but they are too low ohm's and more for high watts vapers.

    Unfortunately it’s stainless steel.

    It came in plastic liters so I just used a large funnel into Amber 250 mls with those poly - something caps

    I’ve only needed to open one so far so I put a small amount in another Boston round and use a syringe to draw from it. The remaining I placed into smaller Boston rounds with poly caps and heat shrink tape around the cap and back into freezer. So far so good. I only use 3 mgs so it lasts quite awhile.
