Too bad I didn't find out about the code until a day or two AFTER I ordered this. It's the most expensive thing I've ever bought from FT. And, it's already shipped!
But, I WANT the red Gizmo! {pouts and stomps} But, they did say that scraping off the paint helped, right?
The MicroStick fires fine but does have some voltage drop. I may take the bottom off to see if there's any paint I can scrape off. Otherwise, I guess I'll build my kayfun with lower resistance.
The red Athena does look good. But, I agree that having a replaceable battery would make it a lot better.
Turquoise drip tip on my Wish List.
Are those skull bottles 60 ml each or 60 ml total, I wonder. The tops on them make them ugly though. I wonder if we could find a better lid for them.
I'm waiting to see if the skulls appear in a color. They just looked cool and I wasn't expecting them. Green or amber glass would be perfect. Maybe that'll fix the cap color.
I read the word "soldering" when it came to Gizmo's solutions. Not everyone had that problem. There's a photo of a green one using a purple tank that's to die for. His isn't functional. I think it's the grey gizmo with all the comments. Informative read. I've been tempted by the Continential. It's bigger, but not heavier. Nice. But it takes humgous batteries as well as normal size which might be nice for camping. There's a purple one and .... I found a matching dt for it. The dt looks like an ultra tiny continental. How can I walk away from stuff like that? It's not fair.
There's a new Athena with removeable battery, a couple of other sites have it on pre order so I assume FT will get it eventually. Athena is / was exclusive to Nature Vapors in the UK and they do interesting stuff, which is why I've heard of them. They had rebuilt Kanger dual coils to accept a ceramic cup and easier to rewick. I was always going to order one. A single was $8 plus even more for shipping. Nobody in the states did them. However, Athena is not just some clone company. That's why I'm tempted to hold off for it. They came in silver, black of course and ugly, ugly dirt brown. I think the pre sale $ was around fifty. Add another $15 for a wrap so it doesn't look like industrial office gear.
GB is starting BF now with flash sales. Ever order from there? I don't like to but dang, they are hard to ignore.
I love your reviews. I'm anxious to hear what you think of the XVO. It's on my short list. Ever think of taking your reviews to You Tube? I think Tia vapes is about the only female reviewer still active. It's a simple way to score gear ... just don't do unboxing or tear downs.Important stuff like feel, appearance, easy to carry, durability, reliable, etc. I only watch Tia anymore. I don't know what happened to Ruby, Steel Jan, Cindy and others.
Are you on the Not Blowing Smoke FB group? There's disturbing news about impending regulations might be happening at an excellerated pace. I'm not ready. That's why I'm rambling. Idk what I'm going to do.
What are your top five or ten "must haves"?

Soldering?! Nope, not me.
I was attracted to that one too. But, 26650s?aikanae1 said:
Don't get me wrong. It's not a bad idea, getting huge batteries that last almost forever. But, I refuse to invest in an odd sized battery that may fall in popularity and disappear. I've got my 18650s. That's enough for me.
Oh, that one! I remember seeing the one with a built-in battery a few weeks ago. So, they have one with replaceable batteries now? Sounds great!aikanae1 said:
I've ordered from GB before. They took forever to ship. When I contacted them, they said they didn't have my address. I gave them my address. But, they then shipped to my old address (the one they had all along). I don't like liars.aikanae1 said:
Are you talking 'must haves' for vapocalypse? Or, 'wants'?aikanae1 said:
I'm more or less prepared for vapocalypse. Although a little extra insurance never hurts. I could stand to have a couple more mechs, I guess.
I think what I need most is to get my stuff organized so that I can see what I really have. We moved last summer, and I ended up in the hospital just a week after we moved. I eventually got better and started unpacking and organizing. But, I'm not quite there yet.
I know I have enough nicotine, at least. I think I have enough of everything else, but not absolutely sure.
If you like it. Do you plan on using the 18650s or the 26650s with it?aikanae1 said:
I'd use 26650s rather than waste the space with a tube. I've got smaller batteries 18350s are my favorite, 18500s, and 14500s for a bf Vmod. So I don't mind a variety of sizes. There are always flashlights using these batteries. Right now batteries are cheap due to the volume being sold and there's been a lot of interest in development. I think this is another industry that will hurt if vaping is shut down. TG for flashlight fanatics because they will keep our batteries available.
The tweaks that might be needed to get the Continental working at it's best seem doable and easy to understand.
It's hard for me to get my head wrapped around the fact this could end. I am reluctant to build my own coils and that can't last. I don't know which tanks to get.
I've got nic from a variety of sources. I may get into some and discover it's no good, so I feel I can never have enough. I also wanted to be surrounded by other vapers so I buy with some friends in mind too. They aren't in the vape scene enough to do much on their own and IMO they have no choice but to vape. lol. I'm evil that way. I'd encourage everyone with the resources to stash as much as they can with the idea of helping those who can't, including newbies. Nic and flavors are going to be targeted first.
ATHENA eNVy 22 TC Mod-Box mod-Top electronic cigarette products factory,vapor factory from China
I don't understand this product line very well. There are athena envy 22 that don't hae replaceable batteries but share the same name. I'm putting in a product request. Why did they choose brown out of all the other colors in the world? If you look through the dt section, you'll see a lot of them sold by FT.

Has anyone tried the Fiber Freaks cotton yarn? I think that yarn would wick pretty awesome. I do like to use Ready Wick but its a little pricey, it is reusable over again but still a little expensive.

If you get it, I'l love to see pics of it in your hand and to hear how you like it. Especially how it feels in your hand. It's gotta be awfully big. It might be kinda hard to hold onto.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one that thinks that way. I've got nic from several sources also.aikanae1 said:It's hard for me to get my head wrapped around the fact this could end. I am reluctant to build my own coils and that can't last. I don't know which tanks to get.

Yes, it's really discouraging. There will probably still be e-cigs/vaping. I doubt they'll ban it. More likely, they'll tax vaping and make it become expensive enough to cost the same as smoking costs. Whatever happens, I intend to be prepared.
People talk like they'll have a couple of years to prepare. I don't think so. If it were just the FDA, that might be true. But, things can change at the state level much faster. Even almost overnight. Restrictions on shipping, for example.
Yet, the panic may end up being for nothing. After all, the longer they wait, the more mainstream vaping becomes. That makes it harder to control and harder to demonize. But, I'll be prepared so I can just sit on the sidelines and watch the show.
Let me know what you find out about the Athena.aikanae1 said:
Yes, FT has been my salvation with their huge variety of cheap drip tips!
I've never tried it. I'm happy with the stuff I get from Sally's. If you order it, let us know how you like it in case anyone else is interested.

I'm guessing,but i would say probably rayon.That's what most of us get from Sally's.By far the best wicking material i have used.
Yep,that's the same as i have.Best i have ever used,and can't beat the price for how much you get.

That's why i like Fasttech so much,you can spend a little and it looks like you spent a fortune compared to prices in the B&M's and even some of the online places here.You can feel like a big spender without hurting the wallet haha.
There's been communication with the FDA floating around FB and the FDA's serious. IMO they've spent the last year or so figuring out ways to prevent a black market which is why it's worded so broadly. Even cotton from Sally's will be illegal IF you are caught, or they see signs of tinkering in your garage, or if they get wind of making eliquid. It's crazy. Even a vaporier sold for mm can be taken off the market if they discover vapors can modify it. But their first aim is nic and flavors which may come suddenly. You have to read the wording of the draft. I've never seen anything like it, but I'm not a lawyer.
There are vids on the Contential at YT and it doesn't look as huge as I thought it would. The weight is about the same as microstick. But I like the microstick. I need to make a decision soon. I want it all. There done. lol. I wish.
I'd feel more secure getting another provari and kabuki with a boat load of nauty coils. I can't do it. Too many expenses. I'll surprise ya' with what I do get. I would be very happy if this was for nothing. Maybe vapers should pool funds and buy an island in the S. pacific where we could be free to vape. It could be a hub for black market deliveries everywhere. That's nutz.

I luv seeing what everyone gets. Those coils do look good. Into the cart.
I like evods. I hand those out to new vapers because they are so great for tasting flavors. I'm still amazed at the quality of vape they have. Easy to use, don't break the bank. Kanger's really improved them while people were distracted by all the other stuff. I get the glass ones. Vape Super Savers . com has bulk packs at good prices. He's an ex Kanger employee. Very fast shipping. One of my fav little shops.
I am going to get another dna40 device probably. They can be had for 60 bucks today and the boards will last a long time. A provari would be a better option but I am like you cannot afford it.
provari is one I don't hesitate to pick up in classifieds. There for awhile, the price dropped to fifty $, but now it's gone back up again. But the new price has dropped.
