Right?! For the last 4-5 years I have ignored new stuff now in light of this shipping ban (I get everything by mail since I'm homebound and going to a vape shop isn't a real easy doable option) I am feeling a bit panicked. For me it's more eliquid worry over hardware but that... do I really have enough (coils/rebuildables) ...is keeping me searching the web for some more.

Right. :D

I'm less worried about the eliquids (I make my own and I have plenty of nic), but the hardware is so much better now. I have a lot of old mods and toppers, but they are not as good as the new ones. Most of my older stuff is sitting in boxes, unused and unloved. :(

    More Z coils, Pretty Bird. Also a couple boxes of Sceptre coils.

    More? How much is enough? I have several boxes of .8Ω and 1.6Ω Z coils and 0.65Ω and 1.2Ω Sceptre coils, but I feel I need to get more. :facepalm:

    So many new mods and the time is running out.

    There's a Kroma R also, but I've seen some complaints about it doing weird things (like refusing to fire for no apparent reason).

    I love my Solos, but I'm still looking at that little Vaporesso Swag 2. I really like those new quick-firing chips. :)
    I have not had any problems with the Kroma-R’s.

    Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
    I tried a slightly different building in one of my Kayfun [lite]. Instead of 6 wrap SS316L I went for 8 wrap. As usual Rayon.
    I'll see if I like it in the next few days. I have tried Clapton before, was not for me there and then, but not completely given up on that experiment.

    I have two Kroma-R, my number two had a defective fire button. Now I have one who has been out in a hard weather, and one who is kind of nice, the last one is in bronze.
    Kroma-R is heavy, excellent screen, ergonomically the Kroma-R is fantastic.

    I don’t have tons. About 58 boxes of Z’s and 20 Sceptre 1.2.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Good evening. We did a run to target and went to a furniture store just to get out of the house for a while.

    I’ve decided that I’m going to dump the latest mix of almond cookie. It’s just not working. I’ve got one more to try. If that ones not good then I’m going to scrap the cranberry almond cookie idea.

    The Swag 2 is a good one. I have a couple. Not sure how durable it is compared to something like an Aegis. But it's very lightweight and comfortable to use.

    TY. Good to know. Does it fire fast, like the Solos? I know very little about Innokin chips.

    I really don’t think cranberry fits in.

    I'll probably get one--I've been meaning to for over a year or so. :lol:

    I totally get what you are saying but this recipe does need all the flavors (equally) I actually think that is why I like it so much. There are no primary or secondary flavor(s) even though that is how most recipes work. This is an "in your face" desert and I want all the flavors to be forward.

    Well...I'm confused then. Since you said the above...why not use the SFT % for each one that gave you the taste you liked for it singly? Then they'd be "in your face" as you want them to be.

    Anyway, going to mix it tomorrow using about half % for each flavor (then will dilute as needed)

    IF you halve each SFT %...you'll get a not so in your face result. If you then further dilute it once made....you'll get even less "in your face flavors."

    I have nothing to complain about when it comes to Kroma-R, the only thing has been when it has a heavy fall lol I think it is very fast, there are probably newer mods that are faster now then.

    Another mod that looks good and has received good reviews, but is more expensive, is Aspire Paradox

    Aegis Solo is also good, I have one of them. Ergonomically, I prefer the Kroma-R over it. But I have no doubt that Solo will last much longer ..

    That's good to know. I picked up 7 original Swag kits with NRG-SE tanks from Mist Hub about a year ago (in Clearance and then ran a crazy % off of all Clearance prices, too). IIRC I have 5 Orange + 2 Blue of those. Then 8Vape ran the sale on the Swag 2 mods last August and I bought 7 in different colors. I haven't even taken any out of the box to check them out yet, but...I sure hope I like them.

    That's tons. About four times as many as I have.

    Then you definitely don't want to know how many boxes of the Z-Coils I've stashed, or NolaMel has IIRC, and some other people. :shock: I've also been sitting all afternoon with more in a Cart...debating whether or not to buy them, too. I mean...who knows how many of my vaping friends may decide too late, that they like the Zeniths or Zlides, too, that I have stashed...and they'd need coils, too. :D

    I think you would like them. They are really good to take on the go because they are so small.
