So: do I or don’t I?

Today my legend/aromamizer plus went missing.

It’s theoretically possible I may find it, but I went a bit ape.... looking. There’s a decent possibility it will never be seen again.

I hauled out an old releaux 2/3 and an aromamizer supreme I bought used (damn thing tastes like licorice. I’m clearly going to have to boil it or something) It’s just not the same though.

I wanna replace it bad. I’ve got enough mods. Strictly speaking I don’t need to. The only thing it did that nothing else I have can do is handle really high voltages. I’ve even got an ageis 100 if I need to dry burn something under a running tap.

Maybe just the aromamizer plus

RDAs that whistle get beat with a maul... The Wasp and SXK Hussar V1 were the worst for me.

Agree about the Wasp whistle - just horrible and flavor is good but not worth that noise plus I absolutely hate the “drip tip” - it’s really just a hole in the top cap lol!

The rta has a loud whistle too. Too bad. I like everything else about it.

The hadaly is probably still a high point for flavour with a single coil bf rda but I know a lot of people got fed up of overspill from the airflow.
The hadeon (loads of cheap clones on ft) really fixes that. You've got the same post /airflow and top combo (worth buying one with the pei top for heat) but you have a far deeper deck and more space between deck and airflow holes.
Stick one in your basket to try for about $8.

i read a post about this recommendation and really confused me Peanut Butter Cup Recipe Pack do you get 10 or 30ml of each?and are your going to use that much flavoring?

I had a case of shinyitis yesterday... on way to liquor store to get some craft beer that I absolutely love I saw about 6 new vape shops along the way... so while I was craft beer shopping I popped up google maps and starting reading reviews. One shop stood out and I decided to stop by. I can't say it's a mistake I did so, but I did just buy a new samsung galaxy s10+.... aaaaanyway. While in there, I bought some extra coils I liked, and a customer was buying an Aegis Legend. I asked him and the clerk about it, and what I heard I liked a lot. Extremely tough, water resistant, dust resistant.... really sounded like something I needed due to my job as an operating engineer.

So after fondling it, I really liked how it felt, I loved the weight, and the "manliness" of it and they even hada color that mostly matched my new phone. After looking at it online, I decided to go for it along with some batteries and a charger. My first removable battery mod! I had it up and running before I even left the store with a bit of guidance and socializing with the other guy who also bought one. Was kinda cool breaking our mods in together, trying flavors, etc. Naturally it took a bit to really get used to it, but once I discovered VPC mode.... that was it! And I think it'll be "the one mod" for me, at least until I decide to possibly try rebuildables one day (as complicated as it appears to be with making coils).

I think I'm getting addicted to this hobby/lifestyle, but hey, if it keeps me off of cigarettes, that's acceptable right? Lol.

Yes that is a bit confusing.

Congratulations! & rebuildables only seem hard but it’s not as you can buy prebuilt coils. Just watch a few YouTube vids & read a bit about ohms law.

I used to be scared to death of building. DIY'ing (which I've just barely started) is what made me decide to give it a try. Got a little RDA the other day and successfully installed a pre-wrapped coil, and now I'm on the verge of getting wire and a Coilmaster kit, since making the coil seems to be the easiest part of the process (it's the screws and tiny tools that I find challenging). If anyone had told me--even as recently as a month ago--that I'd be doing this, I'd have scoffed.

tl;dr: I predict that you'll be building before you know it.

That's awesome. First gen gold deck

Gen 2 actually. And also it very uncool to vote someone's post up and then leave a thumbs down "meh" emoticon in your comment. Implies vape snobbery on your part or just bipolar behaviour. I don't give a toss which.

I didn't see a choose option either. As far as using 30ml of flavoring, sure you'll use it all if you like it. I've already been through some 30ml and only been mixing 1.5 years.

Why are people getting so hung up on ratings?

Oops, I meant to thumbs up. I was on mobile and hit the wrong icon. Why would I thumbs down an atty I have loads of? It's one of my favorites.

I am officially back from the wilds, aka, the mountains of East Tennessee, from daughter #2’s graduation. I missed the nude nicotine sale (ugh), then....was going to pick up some zenith coils instead, but didn’t see any good prices. Of course, we’ve been driving for two days and I am beyond brain dead (more than usual)....

So, did I miss anything exciting in the last 30 pages I don’t have the energy to read?

Nope, didn't miss much this time around - apart from our @Zazie building her first RDA successfully she got a gnat's butthole RDA ie: a beserker

We missed YOU however

 

[DeloresRose]

I’m guessing it’s 30 mls if the two with the higher % and 10 mls if the others. I easily use 30 mls of flavors I like. Some, I get 120 mls of.

Making coils is the easy part. You literally wrap wire around a thingy. Wicking takes a little finesse, but still not terribly hard. And you can use that Legend with a RBA.

Haven't been so excited over a few bits of plastic since @DPLongo22 sent my zenith tips

Frickin ocd drove me crazy - planned to have what I use in one section, meh in another. But no, ocd couldn't handle that

So it's organised alphabetically in manufacturer groups. Which worked out fine in the end as I just doubled up all my TPA flavours (still alphabetically ) & inawera on one side. Pictured side has the bulk of what I use - Hangsen, Flavorah, FW, FA, PUR and then Capella.

It's so damn awesome and is gonna make mixing so much quicker

OMG that’s a perfect description!! Lol! I have probably 35 or so RDAs and I absolutely do not like the Wasp at all lol! So many people do so I’ve tried a gazillion setups in it but not much improvement just a burnt lip here n there !!! Honestly it’s in my PIF box. Now if I could just figure out how to PIF I would lol!!

Some Bacon Lips with that whistle?

I had a drip tip on mine that fit perfectly but that whistle was intolerable.
