2 pod mods would still be quite pocket friendly (2 Orions are smaller than my Luxotic) I also noticed my juice and nic consumption has gone WAY down with my Orion. I am using usually 1ml a day (DIY salt 25mg). I am always out and about so the compact size and convenience has been perfect for me. I had a second Orion till my wife saw it and really liked it. I'll pick up another one when I can. I think I want a CF one next. How you like the Nord?
Why not a Billet Box? And you can either rebuild or use one of Eleaf iJust mesh coils. Here where pods are mostly unavailable and expensive, that's the go vape. And it's another rabbit hole of shinytis!

The hog eats so much lettuce,the poor rabbit would starve.

104 sounds good to me,but the ice caps would be in serious trouble.

I wanted one of those years ago. I got into DL and mechanical mods and kind of forgot about them. Now that I have been dabbling with MTL a bit I have a renewed interest in them. Those can get quite expensive once you get into aftermarket parts. As for now, I am enjoying not building. I can get pods 2 for $8 which will last a month. The Orion has SS coils which is the only metal I like to use.

I feel like I am getting sucked back into the Volkswagen Rabbit rabbit hole. If that happens, there will be no more vape budget because pocket racecar...

I broke off the handle of my old one--which was much like that pictured in @Skunk!'s post--many years ago. It has been annoying and rather dangerous to use, so I'll be in mash heaven when the new one comes.

That's a pestle, isn't it? Ideal for making pesto, that type, but less efficient for potatoes, I imagine.

For me with the Kanger RBA is more of a restricted lung hit. Not very closed for MTL. Also the Vapeshell has airflow inserts where you can go from 4 mm to 1mm. So, airflow isn't an issue.

    I only started vaping a year ago, but it's amazed me how far pods have come in even that short time - better battery life, replaceable coils instead of replaceable pods, larger capacity etc. I figure rba pods will be next, judging by how popular rbas are.

    Enough thoughtfulness from me (that is your monthly quota) ;)

    @NolaMel Use a sledgehammer on the intake :w00t:

    I'd be mashing everything in sight...

    There's supposed to be a rebuildable pod for the Orion on the way. Forget what it's called, it's on the LV Orion thread.

    RDTA like attys for me, wicks have to be short, just inside the hole. If it's too low I simply cut it to barely poke some of the cotton through. Also Vaping with Vic's Dam method works, but be careful, it might flood. Have you watched that one?


    His was the last build I tried. I’m not having dry hits, gurgles, spit back or leaking with any wicking variation, so it does have that in its plus column. The af seems to be too much thru the tank, no matter how open or closed the af ring is.... very muted flavor to me. Next week I’ll disassemble it again. It’s WAY airier than the Elevate, more like my single coil dl tanks.
