Brewdawg1181, got both pages. But no stock available.
Okay, I see - not used to shopping on those sites. I see now in my snip that it says Arrival Notice.

Thanks Mordacai, and so sorry @AngeNZ ! You gotta keep shopping classies, I guess. I don't really do multiples, but probably should've gotten another one for vapocolypse before they were discontinued.

And the one for 2F just worked, too. That's odd. What did you see when you clicked them?

This is one of my Pet Peeves.

Not that it is OOS. But that some companies will but a Fantastically Low Price on something that is OOS and is Never Coming back.

Seen SD Mini75 online for less than $8, but no stock and discontinued.

Why they don't they pull the listing is beyond me.

Because they want to Etch the idea in the part of your Brain that makes Buying Decisions that this is a Good Place to get Deals on stuff.

It also keeps them in the Search Results when you do a Search.

    Don't be sorry, I have more itty bitty mods than pairs of socks :facepalm:

    I think I'm going to be happy with my Tesla 40w, and I ordered a Joye Cubis tank for it (I've had a soft spot for Joye ever since I started vaping in 2009 with a 510).

    I'm a little confused about the TC/VW options -- if I put a 1.5ohm coil in it, do I lose the TC capability? I'd like to use the same coils in both the mini-mods (assuming the Mi-One goes back to its place as my pants-pocket backup).

    Are there advantages to using a sub-ohm coil (like 0.6ohm) instead?

    I don't think you can run TC at Ohms higher than about 1.2 Ohms. At least that is the Highest I ever tried.

    Also consider, that to run TC, you're going to need a TC Wire Type compatible with TC. Such as SS or Nickel or Titanium. And it is somewhat Hard to get those Alloys over 1.0 Ohm for most Coil Types.

    I'm not a TC Guru. But for what I have done, I find that Lower Ohms tend to work Better than Higher Ohms. So when I do TC, I like to keep the Ohms at 0.6 or lower.

    Stainless steel coils? I build my ss coils under 1Ω for TC vaping--.9 or .8 Ω coils work fine both in power mode and in TC.

    Yes, with the number of wraps required to get SS to mid 1.x ohms, it seems it'd have uneven results with long ramp up time in TC.

    But what do I know. I'm still thinking about @AngeNZ 's underwear.:rolleyes:
    What can I say, I'm a man.

    That's what makes SS such a Cool Alloy to use. Because it works Great in either TC or in VW Mode.

    So you Don't have to keep track of What Build is in What Tank/RTA/RDA.

    ...

    Yeah... It wouldn't surprise me if that 1.5 Ohm Coil(s) was made from a Non-TC Alloy like Kanthal or NiChrome 80.

    I have 2, black and silver. They were my "take to work mods". I wore carpenter jeans and they slid into the side leg pocket. Hardly knew they were there.

    Is the fire button hefty enough to prevent firing in a pants pocket? It looks good beside the tank at an angle. Almost all of my mods have good fire switches except for the Jac Vapour DNA75. It's feather light and will fire if the button is pointed down in my hand and touching a finger. That makes it an around the house mod, not suitable for pocket carry, except maybe for a coat pocket.

    Well, there's the eleaf istick mini (VV, 10 watts), which is only 52mm high, but that's just the mod without a tank -- true size would depend what you put on it:

    (might have to search around a bit to find one).

    I have 3 Eleaf iSTicks and a couple of Pico 75's. All are good. The last one I ordered last year from MyVaporStore.com.

    I've been looking at the Eleaf iPower lately. It's good for up to 80W and has a 5000mah battery for all day power. It looks to be about the size and form factor of the iStick 40W. $33.99 at MVS.

    The button is slightly stiff. I always turned it off before I put it in the pocket. Those carpenter jean pockets are kinda loose and don't get flexed like a normal jeans pocket. They are below the front pocket on the outside of your leg. I don't think it would've fired but I didn't want to take any chances.

    The coils I currently use in my Mi-One are Joye coils, described as 1.5ohm SS316 Clapton coils. Joye's site claims they only work in VW mode but I got my Cubis tanks today and slapped one on my EgoONE Mini base and it vaped fine with Joye's "Clapton" coil.

    The Cubis also came with 1.0 and 0.6 coils, so worst-case scenario I can probably use those with low wattage and settle for having to buy more than one kind of coil.

    Weirdly, the "Clapton" that came with the Cubis is a different shape (wider on the bottom) than the same ones I order in 5-packs (more of a straight cylinder, same shape as their 1.0 and 0.6 BF coils). Does anyone know anything about that? I can't seem to find the wider ones anywhere online.

    Yeah I agree with @gandymarsh - it's quite a firm button, but I also turn it off for pocket carry. The doggy RTA looks awesome on it ;)
