Found a Spanish shop that has some oldies in stock and fair prices

Sigelei Box Mod

Arghhh... temptation. Portugal is just next door so transport costs are very low.
I don't know your local prices but they seem expensive to me - even on special. What about buying some more up to date mods from one of the Chinese vendors like fasttech or 3FVape or Sourcemore?

I have a good stash already but, like with antiques, these older looking vintage devices look cool.

Portugal is expensive. I blame FT, Everzon and Sourcemore for my weekly growing collection.

Was just in town yesterday to pick up some 18650 batteries and saw JUUL in the shop. Don't think the new regs are in effect yet but a 20% sin tax is driving me nuts. Got to get one final L of nic base in soon (that is all my freezer can take) which leaves me 3 L of 100mg 2 L of 60mg and 1 L of 48mg ......think should last. I vape a little under 20mg
I need some help over buying a new tank set up with coils as mine are just not doing it for me anymore or going through coils so fast just to get some flavor but I like simple and don't want to build .......anyone got a good idea? MTL with airy intake not restricted much.
Zenith or zenith pro maybe? I’m loose mtl/rdl. I get 2-3 weeks on flavored juice, 2 months at least on unflavored. Jury is out on the longevity of the new 1.2 coils. 0.8 and 1.6 last and last. The plex .48 and .5 don’t.

Ok. I'm using much lower ohms with mine but I change my battery when I fill the bottle. It will drain the battery down to 3.3-3.4 volts.
I'm using a Redemption RDA on mine. .17ohms dual coil.

What kind of coils are those. I’ve found that for me, with larger coils in a dual coil atty, the ramp up with a single battery takes forever (but I am an impatient type of person) and the vapor craps out too fast. I’ve found even with a single coil reasonable fused Clapton, not giant, coming in. 0.3 ohm, it poops out for me above 3.5V, closer to 3.6. With the single coils I use from simple round to a fused with small cores, I generally get maybe a bottle of juice, 6-8 ml depending on bottle, and am ready for battery change. It usually comes out at 3.7-3.8V.

One time out of curiosity I ran a single battery down until not only was the cape cold, but not much vapor period and I was at 3.4V. I just find that for a single battery mech big builds are better off, for me, on a regulated mod I can heat the coil up quickly with, and run the battery down but still have a nice vape. With the mechs I like my little 22 mm single coils that heat right up and stay nice and pretty consistent until the squonk bottle is empty.

I’ve been enjoying my Redemption. I found if I close the air about a third closed, raise the coils up a tad, there’s lots of cloud but surprisingly good flavor for a big dual coil build. That and the Unicorn are my favorite dual coils right now, trailed very close by the Reload X. All my other dual coils don’t keep up with them. Probably should just box them for the stash at this point and empty out my atty rack and make more room.

I use the. 48 plex and they last me plenty - I do use clear, less sweet, ejuices with those, but so far so good for longevity for me..

The coils I use are of my own design and are unlike anything you can get. They don't look fancy but they work. There have been times I've used them down to 2.9 volts. For you @Eskie my friend if you PM me a mailing address I will send you some to try out. My nickname when I was a kid was Killer so I call them Killer coils. My series version are called Serial Killer coils. The clouds produced is very good, dense and warm. Not hot.
My SQ Topside has 12ml and I can use the whole bottle. I have a Reckoning with those coils on it.

Good morning People of Shiny land !!!

It feels like Spring around these parts with temps in the upper 40's to mid 50's.
F-ing perfect December weather IMO. :thumb:

Received my v3 InBox DNA-75 squonker last Monday (from the FT BF sale). I tried getting a decent pic of the carbon side panels but the camera wouldn't focus properly. Or the photographer needs help (haha, he does). Squonking in TC totally rocks with the DNA chip. Hcigar resolved all the issues/complaints with the previous versions. It's nice they can now take a regular bottle vs their old stupid proprietary ones. It's an awesome reg. squonker and solidly built. Would I grab another? Damn straight I would! :D

I forgot I ordered two of those (black carbon and black leather)! Same day as you, so I guess they should be arriving soon.

I wonder what else I've forgotten about. Something good, I hope.

    this is to replace my DL stockcoilers... i like it with a bit of a punch, restrictedish

    wotofo coils and cotton and coils good too (there's a bundle) or should i just get those all separately?

    The Elevate will suit what your after and Shawn does recommend it as a good top air RTA.
    Is the bundle much more expensive than just the tank from Wotofo? If not I'd grab it.
    If it is more much expensive for coils and cotton leave the bundle and just get the tank:)

    30piece cotton for 9.50 dollar and coils range from 5 for simpler thing to 7 the braided and juggerknot.. aliens 16!. 10pc

    only save a dollar on the tank itslef. catchy thing is just the general sale, and we'd prbby never buy from a brand like this otherwise and that most of these are selling out. but they're not particularly good or better than the FT stuff..

    The bundle price isn't bad, but you can get the wick and coils cheaper elsewhere. I'd say get the bundle and if you like the wick/coils reup elsewhere.

    It must be how I draw, or how long.... dunno. But, on even on unflavored, I’m lucky to get 5 days on the plex

    Elsewhere as in other site for the same brand if you like the product. As far as which coils I'm partial to tri core fc but enjoy an alien occasionally. Skip the juggernaut coils, waste of power and juice imo.
