Most people really seem to like the Icare kits, just don't overfill it and they seem pretty leak proof. I've read of a few people dropping them and having the tanks crack, they are glass, and I've yet to see a becent fix for that.
The other thing I've noticed is people are liking the mini more. It holds less liquid, but with the included PCC it seems to last most people all day.
With all the rave reviews I've even considered getting one of them, and I LOATHE nonreplacable battery mods!
Yes most of my Vaping devices have replaceable batteries, I'm with you on that one....think of the icare this way....the whole device costs around 14-15$ a dollar or 2 more than an 18650 battery..that you would have to replace in a year or so anyways. So you get the whole device for the cost of around a battery+ (What a deal!) and you didn't have to buy a mod or a tank..... that's the logic that I use to keep purchasing items I don't really need! LoL

Wife finally got me semicalmed down, had to spend money to use the gift card I'd won? Never will understand that premise, but got a few tanks, that I'll probably give away, no RBA decks, a mod and batteries. Still doesn't seem right, but hey, I got a fancy whazoo silicone case for an 18650. And, I think? I won an Xstar VC2 charger this morning?
Today's kinda been a blur, forgive me.

Believe me, I get it, and will most likely have two or more, if I'm honest. I can see being on the mower, working on someone's piece of junk (car, mower, etc.) and it getting used. I can also appreciate the fact that if I run it over with the mower I'm not out much!
Really, I'm not trying to trash on them, I promise!

Besides the - Smart Box Kit - Innokin has a Cool Fire IV(4) TC 18650 Vape System - that use 18650, even comes with a carry case for an extra battery . . .



YEA - BUT A "Billet Box" IS WORTH EVERY PENNY . . .

AND - I would go so far to say - better then almost any Provari . . .

I dunno, with what I've been known to do to Provari's, throwing them as hard as I can on the floor of vape shops to show their durability, I'm seriously not kidding here, I can't say I'd do that to a Billet Box, and I'm not certain it would survive one tryst that!
People can say what they will about the Provari, but I all but hurt myself worse coming up with the money to buy one because I was confident I couldn't hurt it! I had broken my back at that time, my wife and many Drs were very unhappy with my choices to come up with the money to buy one. It didn't disappoint me, still works now, needs another (this will be the third) led screen. I can make it work, but you kinda guess the settings.

I would love to have a stealth device similar in shape to the Kanger Netbox for when I'm out in places where I have to be careful about vsping. I like it because it doesnt look like a vape device. I also like that it takes a rechargeable battery. I dont want anymore non-rechargeables.

Unfortunately its coils are sub ohm and no adjustable air flow. I dont sub ohm and I'm a MTLer.

Is there such a thing?
It takes ssocc coils. You can get them up to 1.8 ohms I think running a 1.2 in mine and yes you can mtl that's what I do. The Plato does have a replaceable battery and adjustable air flow.

It's great that we have so many choices…right now anyway. One of the reasons I hate buying anything that doesn't take rechargeable batteries is because built-in battery devices may not be replaceable in the future depending on what happens with the regs. Having said that I think I'll go with the icare…for $15 I get the device and two attys - should last me a long time because there are only few places I go where I need to stealth vape. And replacement attys are less expensive than those for some of the other stealth devices. When it dies I'll cross that bridge then. Eleaf iCare All-in-One Kit

Maybe by then my dream stealth device will be reality - a tube-shaped mod with internal tank, made by Provape and using 18350 batteries (because I have tons of them) and their size would keep the device truly small. Now that would be peeerfect

When you have the time take a look at this. It's 40 mins long but a good view.



5th Estate did a good job on this article.
We in Canada don't have the FDA or similar trying to ban vaping. Our government is greedy so they are after the money and IMO in the end going to tax and regulate vaping in Canada. We have government run medicare so less smokers and related diseases is actually good so less hospital visits. Our government to too hell bent on keeping their high salaries and perks. I just found it amazing how some of the US states allowed BT and BP to buy them out and not seeing far enough ahead incase something like vaping came along to stomp out ciggys. All I can say is that I have enough supplies to keep my wife and I vaping for literally years without having to buy anything other than batteries.

Special charger?? None needed. It comes with a standard USB cord..the mini comes with a special charger, but the standard one is just the same one cord that you charge any of your other devices with FYI..

I think it is one of the ways that people running contest are trying to get around the FDA Ban on giving away "Free" gifts/samples to promote their company or product ("You" Win the chance to purchase the product for $1.00 ;) ) . . . Just Sayin'. . . :facepalm:

AH - However, from what I have read posted by "Doug Dino" the creator of the "Billet Box" that is exactly one of the reasons why "BB" were created - which is to survive a fall . . .

"The Billet Box started with me really needing a vaporizer that had all it’s guts on the inside, due to the nature of my work (drops to the ground, roll off table, sawdust, metal shavings), and that required little to no tinkering, filling or battery swapping throughout the day." (More of the Original Story here: ~The Billet BoX~ )

I watched that on the TV the other week,it was quite an interesting and GOOD segment.Seeing Mark Kelley actually taking a vape on screen really surprised me.

I've read a few Canadian newspaper articles lately that are actually pro vape.A year or so ago not so much...:)

Grimm Green said this morning that he likes both the iCare and the ICare mini. The regular one is quite small so I'd prolly say that the extra money for the mini is not really needed. There is also the Juul and the MY Von Earl but they are pricey IMO.

These are all MTL friendly
