Hello everyone! “Happy” Labor Day Weekend! I put happy in quotes because it’s actually kind of sad to me. The unofficial end to summer. I love the fall but don’t do well during the dark months.

Anyways, I’m breaking down and want to buy a pod system just to check it out. Plus I haven’t bought anything vape related for awhile and I have MAJOR Shinyitis withdrawals lol!

I’m looking at a

YIHI SXMINI PUREMAX 2 35W POD SYSTEM​

But my only concern is the 3ml pod but everything else about it like the tip shape, slim battery and other chip features.

Does anyone have any other suggestions that include the small round tip and size that might have a bigger refillable pod? Or if it want it this small then I’m pretty much looking at just 2ml pods?

I’m buying extra pods but I know nothing about pods. Can they be sealed to carry around or no - I just need to carry juice with me?

I’m a heavy vaper and need something AT LEAST 35 watts.

Any suggestions are welcome!!

Good morning shinies,

Sara, I'm not the right person to ask for a pod recommendation, I have one that I never use, I hate this autodraw system.

Good to see you popping in Sara! I can't help either with pods. For me it's more about not liking plastic tanks.
Good night Shiny's

This week, we'll be keeping an eye on the package from Steampipes:

  The instruction data for this shipment have been provided by the sender to DHL electronically

Going to work a bit on the Sunbox squonker today, I've rejected a lot of ideas, but I'm starting to like the last one.
Making frames without a micro mill is a lot of work for very little progress.
There will be three supports that will be glued together into one unit.

For the future I need to invest in a micro mill machine, they are not expensive but not cheap either, around $400, plus there will be extra equipment & milling tools on top of that.

I've got a few smok pod mods because they take my mechlyfe rba coils and they are handy when I go out. I vape them at 8 or 9 watts (15 mg/ml) though. One will go to 80 watts, but I never tried those coils and imagine the tank would get quite hot.

If you want a small pod then I think you’re probably stuck with the 2-3ml capacity. I have tried several but haven’t tried the one you’re looking at. I am currently using the Xros Pro as a pocket carry at work. I use the 3ml .4 ohm pods. It doesn’t go up to 35 watts but I find that the .4 pods run fine in the 20-25 watt range.

More efficient build and wick imo. My only 2 cons for the dr solo are the the top cap doesn't come off therefore harder to clean efficiently and lower volume; would much rather have a wider glass width wise. I do appreciate the shorter chimney/glass and don't mind glass overhang (as long as the base itself has no overhang). Flavor is a tick above better than the mr and wicking is so easy, no thinning required at all. The way the deck is set up you can nearly vape it dry before filling. I still enjoy the mrs but the sheer convenience of the solo build/wick knocks the mr down a notch (with the exception of cleaning). Honestly if all I need is a dry burn and rewick on the solo it takes half the time; of course the trade off is I spend a bit more time filling more often. Wordy explanation but I'm sleepy and probably repeating myself too much.lol

You sold me, I found and ordered one from a kiwi store.

For RDL/DL airflow, tank capacity, battery capacity and wattage, I haven't seen anything beating the vaporesso armor GS. It's a bit fatter than some, but still light and slim.
