he, he ... but ... I did get one for her too to try out TC vaping.

@MikeE3 I recently saw a post of yours on KFM3, always wondered if that tat was real, I'm not into tats but can appreciate true artistry. Very nice.

Thats funny. What is this blast fog in your face. :p I vape 2ohm coils at 8W and take two second fairy puffs. My biggest issue was getting a coil that heated up fast enough to get vapour. Four DIY flavours and rotate through them during the day. Don't even bother trying new flavours. Thats how I started and still vape that way. . I am boring and set in my ways so all the extra features are wasted on me..... I vape to replace a chronic 50+ a day smoking habit.


More power to ya'. Whatever keeps you off the smokes. I went straight into the military from High School, even did Boot Camp (USN) during Summer vacation between 11th and 12th grades, and stupidly picked up the smoking habit on active duty. So I smoked for about 30 years. Probably around 30 cigs a day. To me nothing feels as good as a nice MTL set up. I do like to play with the clouds now and then. I do enjoy the nice flavors. But I do it to stay away from those cigs, same as you.

T for Texas!
Point taken, but if you had to choose between the two and only get one or the other, which one would it be?
Gem V1 :)

Lol, I have maybe a dozen atties that I have in my arsenal that I am quite happy with, each has some strengths and weaknesses, but all of them meet my personal criteria for the type of MTL vape that I want:
  • Simple single wire coils of 26 gauge or smaller
  • Above 1 ohm builds
  • Airflow coming from below coil with a 2 mm max path from AFC ring to inlet below coil
  • Small/tight deck
  • Short/tight chimney
  • Produces excellent flavor
Hussar and SXK Doggy both fit in that criteria and have their place in my rotation and I prefer the Hussar at the house and the Doggy when out and about.

My normal gear is Billet Boxes and provaris. Neither has TC so I have never bothered. These are just toys for the amusement factor. They wont take the place of normal gear.

Me 4

I've always been a MTL (tootle puffer) vaper but it was the BB that got me into pre made coils. Before that I was using squonkers and gennies.
I tried TC and it worked well but not really better than kanthal for me.

Good answer! I still haven’t found a tank that beats the titanium gem. Which got all the v2 improvements but kept the v1 airflow.

I'm a bit behind, so pardon me if this has been answered. The Milspec mod is a SYM Mr. Q with a name change on the mod and the software graphic. Milspec mates this mod with an Aspire Nautilus Nano tank and an Aspire 18350 battery.

It's nice mod and so is the tank. However, the tank is a bit small at 2ml. But the Nicolas tank is a perfect fit size-wise and holds an additional ml of juice.

I prefer AW batteries. Its 18350 is rated at 800mAh and the Aspire at 1300.

My normal, daily carry is a ProVari P3 Ti in 18350 mode with a Kabuki Ti tank and the AW battery. This combo is slightly lighter than the Milspec and the Nicolas, but the latter is nice for a change.

Whereas at 9.6watts the AW battery is about shot when the Kabuki hits refill time, an AW in the Milspec is done with about half the juice left in the Nicolas tank. The Milspec, and I'm guessing the SYM, does need the higher capacity of the Aspire battery.

Since I was stupid and unaware of the SYM, I ordered a second rig from Milspec about 10 days ago, even though I was going to use the mod with another Nicolas tank. Near as I can tell Milspec has not shipped and is not answering its mail--but it did charge my card! I'm going to give it a few more days then contact my CC company.

Meanwhile, FT does sell the SMY mod without tank for $23.80.

If you like aw rewraps in 350 try the mxjo. They last longer and wear better. I cannot tell what they’re rewrapping but it doesn’t seem to be a 350 that is available on the Usa.

Aw by and large are very overpriced. Sure their batteries are fine but most of them are standard rewraps. Like their 3000 mah is just a lg hg2 wrapped in a red wrapper and twice the price.

Have a google for mooch's battery guide or search the forum here. You can find his info on aw. His info is excellent.

My mate is at a vape shop & I get Samsung 30qs for $5.00 or LG HD2's for same price. He doesn't sell anything but reputable batteries. I got a cleito for $4.00 & Xcube ultra for $20.00
Oh the joys of having my best mate work in my local ;) don't see a point in rewraps when I can get genuine batteries cheaper

WOW!

My Health Cabin order I just placed during their sale...was in Hong Kong yesterday @ 2:58AM, then arrived at Cincinnati Customs Hub, and was already at the Orlando sort facility at 8:30AM today. It's scheduled to be delivered by the end of the day today!

They sent it by DHL Express, even with Free S/H! I'm very impressed with HC so far! :thumbs:

There isn’t one if the battery they’re rewrapping is available in your country. There are some smaller batteries like 14500 and 350 that haven’t been popular and rewraps are the on,y way to get the cell inside. Like the mxjo 350 and aw 14500 I think are both not available cells outside of those rewraps. I could be wrong but I’ve never seen info on what is being used inside them. Which says to me they have a partnership out of Asia for those batteries. The aw is actually a 340 not a 350 and is pretty low capacity at 650 mah. The mxjo is a solid 700 and the one so bought have lasted forever and were 2/$5

But I think you nailed it. The most important thing is that the batteries are authentic. Rewraps tens to inflate the numbers for usb ohm cells. Some rewrappers are claimed to have a deal for the “a” stock but that’s bs as far as I can tell.

Have you ever looked into mooch's tests here or on Reddit? His blog here on ecf is brilliant.

5.5ml tank very nice :) tempted

It’s a top fill melo basically as far as I understand it. I’m interested in the mod not the tank. After buying that lavabox for $32 I’ll probably not get one but it’s an affordable solution to the mini ecig dna 60 at $150 though the mini ecig product is a lot nicer and has many more options.

Is anyone using the ehpro 101 tube?

Nice! I have been trying to track my Health Cabin order but I'm unfamiliar with the way they do tracking. I hope I get lucky with quick shipping.

That’s one place tc is very handy. You can set a lower temperature for a similar vape to your lol fairy puffs lol but you can use the preheat function to boost it. It’s similar to using a provari in boost mode but arguably better. Though Provape had the best boost going for non temp control.

Wow I can’t believe my order from Yaeliq arrived in a week door to door from Israel to AZ. Including the holiday. It is set for delivery today which is great timing. I’m so sick of all the juice I have. And I changed mg so it’s needed.

Do any of you order from yaeliq and have nay favorite flavors? Now they’re doing 500 ml for $44-55 the pricing is impossible to beat even for diy. But I’ve tried a lot of their juice and a lot of it is not good for my tastes. However if I find a couple of adv all the samples will be worth it at those prices.

So yaeliq recommendations? I’m trying banana split. Ultimate cake, cheesecake torte, ultimate cake with blueberry this time and one other I forgot the name of.
