I get the whole physical limitations thing as someone now with only function use of one hand, rebuilding is not a viable option in most cases. That said there are much better options out there with excellent quality and durability. Personally I like the Aspire nautilus Prime X. It's a trusted quality brand, it has a quality build, hand friendly, ease of use, no leaking even if I leave it on its side or sitting for a while, external battery, lot of options such as RDTA, RBAs and 510 adapter, can use 2 different drop in coil types BP and nautilus that are readily available in different ohms and reasonably priced, has survived many drops without a scratch plus no tank on top to mess up when dropped and I'm sure other members here can give you other recommendations to suit your situation/limitations :)
Hey there---Just caught this...ok that's a place for me to start....do you have any links to decent online shops? They definitely do not have the Aspire at my vape shop. Called and asked. Thanks for understanding. :)

P.s. Just checked it out on my online shop....pods are illegal in this state...they will not ship but WILL take your money. I am looking at other options as well. Already thinking about a couple of options they have. Thank you! Nice quote btw.

Guess what came back to life......OH JEEZ:cool:
SMA---lol it did this last time...put it away for a couple days unplugged...completely forget about it...stop trying...and then it works again. I don't know. Talked with hittman about a decent replacement. He recommends the same one you have. It's still in my basket--Innoken z80

    I'm sure others have already recommended that you should purchase from better quality brands. I have a few Smok products and while I've only run into minor problems here or there, the stories I've hear from others have not been so mild. Regardless, I don't expect these products to last much longer than a year or two with mild use, but I also got them at pretty dirt cheap.

    Moving forward, based on what type of vape style you prefer, Innokin seems to be holding the fort down in terms of MTL. Their Zenith II does a very good job of loose MTL/RDL if you're looking at long lasting and reliable drop in coil heads. If you're an RDL or DL vaper, your options are pretty much wide open and again, depends on if you're looking at rebuildable decks or drop ins. I can share with you my experiences on products, but understand that my experience and your experience may be completely different.

    Depending on your vaping habits, the z80 might not be a good replacement for a Smok Mag p3, although I hear it is a great setup. It is a single battery setup and won't give you as long of battery life, especially if you are using it at higher wattage. I recommend the Vaporesso Gen or Gen S, just the mod only. You can continue to use the Smok tank and coils with it. The Gen is a lightweight, but sturdy mod that uses dual 18650 batteries.

    Just saw this..
    Vaporesso Gen S's going for a steal at CheapEjuice. Using code: "flash35now" - $25.35 for the box mod, or $31.20 for the NRG-S tank kit. Above $99 for Free S&H, otherwise $14 for the basic signature USPS shipping. Total price including the discount, must exceed the $99 cart threshold though. 4 box mods will put you just over that mark.

    **Note** People have commented that these mods have issues with the 510 plate coming loose, but the same people are likely using them to remove RDA tops/caps and pulling out other 510 objects from their atomizers. Don't do that. Take care of your gear, and it will take care of you (with the exception of some other specific brand(s) :lol:) I have 5 of theseView attachment 953419

    I noticed this too, and thought what a coincidence. But sometimes I feel like I'm pushing my selling points too much, lol. People gotta want to dig if you're in search of good deals.
    I thought maybe Territoo might need another one.
