I just read that the eVic Supreme won't become available until about six weeks from now. Yay! That'll give me time to pull out more of my hair.
Knowing how impatient I am, I'll probably change the plan back to getting a Sigelei Zmax V5 as my next vaping purchase, and my first mod. If it's half as good as what I've read about Sigs, I won't regret buying one.

Let me guess... Bad Mother Fudging Personal Vaporizer, right?
I'm going to purchase a hcigar Turtle ship V2 in stainless and one in brass. Another Prometheus and Kraken, and a good back-up charger! (Gotta quit buying new gear)
Thinking of trying the Drip method via Trident V2 after I figure out the Mech I want to power it up..
Will probably buy a large lot of DIY supplies next. I've got enough liquid to last a couple more months, so I'd like to have some good homemade liquid figured out before then.
Also looking at a Provari.... But, as much enjoyment as I get out of my mechanicals and sub-ohm RDAs and Genesis atomizers... I don't know that it's really necessary. The only real perk I see is the ability to quickly test different wattages of all my liquids. But then again, I really like the high power builds. DNA30, maybe? Who knows.

I just recently ordered my first 26650 mech; I'm trying to decide on an RDA to top it with before it gets here (sometime next month, I hope).
I don't have anything specific in mind yet, but I'm looking!

You can't adjust wattage on a P'vari, only voltage. For a great and inexpensive way to check your juice at different wattage, either the iTaste vv3 or one of the Sigeleis, v3 or v5, is your best choice. For a quick way to check the resistance of coils, the iTaste vv3 can't be beat; the Sigeleis will do that too, but you have to navigate a menu; with the vv3 you just press the 2 bottom buttons together and the first figure you see is the coil's resistance.

Adjusting the voltage is still changing your output in wattage terms. I'm aware that the Provari is VV only... On a 1.5 ohm coil, 3.7v puts you a hair over 9w.. Whereas 4.8v puts you a hair over 15w. Different way of skinning the same cat. Thank you though, sincerely.
My issue being, my current build in my Patriot puts me at almost 59w on a fresh battery... And my "conservative" Kraken sits at 23. I don't know if the limits of most any standard VV or VW mod would satisfy me enough to justify the cost. Thus, maybe a DNA30 makes more sense.

Impatiently waiting for the SX350 chip to be put into a MOD...click on the link, wait for the page to fully load and look at the amazing stats on this bad boy!!! Software update to push it to 35W is coming out next month

Yikes, that's a lot of watts!
I've having a hard time going over 7w on my Sigelei, without getting a burnt taste. Can go up to 9w or even 10w on the vv3's, no burnt taste. I guess it's just those 18650s are so much more powerful than the built-in batteries in the vv3's. And stock coils that can't handle that much heat, I guess. Starting to learn to rebuild, but the tiny T3S coils are sooooo tiny and hard to thread a wick into, I'm sticking with silica for the coil wick, and cotton as the flavor wick. Once I can get some kind of atomizer with a "real" coil, maybe I'll have more success with the Sigelei, and less burnt taste.I knew that about the volts/watts thing, but I'm a total math ......, so it's important to me to have a device that can do it for me -- my nicotine jones is a lot faster than my ability to do *any* figures.
Still looking around for my own next purchase; I really want one of those combo RBA/RDA tanks, so I can have the familiar tank while I'm learning a) how to build really good coils for it, and b) how to "drip" properly. And tanks are much better for when you're out of the house. But I'm still having a hard time finding one of those combo tanks in brushed stainless rather than polished and shiny.

I can't wait for the Cerberus RDA, it's going to be killer on my Hades clone.....

Based on the multitude of comments by ECFers on how much they love their mechanicals and their RDAs, and how, if they were going to be stranded on a desert island and could only take one APV with them, that it'd be their favorite mechanical, their favorite RDA head, a 5000-mile long extension cord and enough Kanthal, cotton and juice to last a lifetime, that I feel quite certain that when I do finally buy my first mechanical and dip my toes into dripping atomizers**, that I'll consider all the money I've spent in the meantime on vaping hardware to have been wasted.
So the smart mind would say, "If you're so sure of this, then you should start buying mechs and RDA gear immediately, even before you buy your next set of disposable coils for your T2-clone."
But my mind, not always being so smart, is saying, "Whoa there, hoss. I don't care what that smarty-pants mind is telling you. That's a whole new realm of OhMyGollyWhatDoesItAllMean?!? You should stick to what you know for now, and then spend your days learning more and more about mechanical droplets, or whatever they call it, until you feel more comfortable stepping into the pool at your own pace."
Having been accused so often of being a "half-wit", maybe that means I should choose a route in between each of those strategies. I'll get my first VV/VW mod and a couple of RBA tanks for it, then I'll try my hand at coil-making. Once I have that down fairly well, I'll drop coin for my first mechanical, and then venture into the land of dripping.
Whichever route I take, I have to say that many of the mechanicals I've seen are drop-dead gorgeous. Heck, I'd buy them just for their art appeal, even if they had no practical use.
** - Only a figure of speech - I'd never recommend to anyone putting their toes into an open coil assembly and pressing the button.

As of right now...nothing. I've got a Vamo V5 on the way, along with five new flavors from Ahlusion and three new ones from Mountain Oak Vapors, so I've got some configuring and tasting to do in the coming week or two. Need to settle into a more regular flavor rotation (assuming the V5 is the answer to my equipment desires I think it will be) and start letting my 'money saved by quitting analogs' curve catch up to my 'money spent on vaping' vertical line

B.I.N.G.O.!
The Five O Five tank just came in and MAN is she a monster! This might last me all day! My iTaste 134 is on the slow boat from China, so right now the tank is sitting on an old KSD K-Max mod and it looks like something straight out of a circa 1930 gas station.
