Oh, I should point out, that's the thing that really got me going again. I've been vaping for a few years but that's what got me enthusiastic about it again.

The thing that really got me going was making vaping more convenient than smoking. I've mentioned this thing on the site bunches of times, but I picked up a Vaporesso Aurora. It's basically the size and shape of a Zippo lighter. It even flips open like one. It's a little MTL stealth vape with great flavor that lasts about as long as a half a pack of smokes. I started carrying it in my pocket all of the time when I was away from home. Then I grabbed a Kangertech EVOD Pro v1 (18650) for about $20 with 1.0 Ohm atomizers. The thing is incredibly durable and gives an OK (not great but do-able) vape, along with a little eGo carrying case for juice/atomizer/battery back up. So the Aurora and the EVOD became my go to devices. Then I started looking at what I had and figuring out how to make everything MTL. Luckily for me there was a bunch of really cheap MTL stuff available because it became unpopular. I grabbed a Nautilus X tank and some 1.80 Ohm atomizers (the 1.50 are crap) to use on my box mod at home. I bought some TC coils for my Arctic V8 tank - went low Wattage and high temp limit to mimic a pipe. Then bought an e-pipe to use it on, lol. Then I grabbed the Aspire Quad Flex Survival Kit. You get all the hardware to make a NaughtyX, a RDA, a RTA, and a squonker. So, of course, then I bought a squonk mod. And a coil making kit. And some wire. And some cotton. Somewhere along the way I picked up a free (vendor reward) Aspire CF Mod because it gives out a constant 4.2V and I figured I'd eventually learn how to build coils of set resistance to get the Wattage I wanted. And then finally bought a Kayfun V5 clone...which works very nicely on that CF Mod.

How do u feel about squonking?

It's pretty nice. You have to remember to squonk, but that downside is balanced out by the benefit of being able to carry around a ton of juice right in your mod. I have a dual coil build at 0.75 Ohms and I can use it for MTL/RLH/DTL just by playing with the airflow and Wattage. I've got an inexpensive dual battery regulated squonk box. The performance from the coil(s) is noticeably better than what I can get from an atomizer. And I don't even have a really good squonk deck. Just the one that came with the DripBox160 and the one from my Survival Kit. So, I am pleased with what is a fairly cheap set up.

Listopencil, can you Help Me, LOL. I got a Nautilus X survival kit and it's not very intuitive at all. I tried assembling it yesterday and wound up with a 2 ml Nautilus X without an airflow adjustment, and I have a feeling that can't be right. Diagrams and no words don't do much for me, unfortunately-- do you know of a good assembly video or which darn piece is the airflow adjustment, at the very least. It's all disassembled in bits in the case, now, and I am utterly confused.... It came as the RTA (I THINK???) and I have no idea how/what is the 4 ml extension, and I was kind of happy to start using it.... at first.

If not don't worry about it, I can google, I just wondered if there was something quick I was missing....

I'll try to find a good video showing assembly. Look on the inside of the box cover. There are diagrams showing how each tank goes together. Each piece is labeled with a letter in the diagrams. The paper insert covering the compartments for the pieces also have the corresponding letters printed next to each piece. The extension is a separate kit for $5 that consists of a longer glass and a chimney. The chimney goes between your atomizer and the top piece.

Oh, and the airflow adjustment is built into the cap. It's a ring that you turn independently of screwing the top cap on and off. If you got it in black instead of stainless steel it can be very hard to see the air holes.

If you go to the 9:00 (nine minute mark) he starts showing how to put together the NaughtyX configuration.

 

[stols001]

Thank you, Listopencil, then it appears I have it correct-- I guess the airflow topcap was giving me pause. Yes, I stared hard for a long time at all the diagrams and numbers. I did think that there was an extension as part of it, but if it's a separate kit, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks. I'll definitely use the video to check my work.

I appreciate it, thanks so much!!!

Cool, I hope the video helps. I ended up with two complete X's and two complete extension kits, which is good because I dropped my epipe at work and busted one of the 4ml glass pieces. Doh! I also ended up getting soaked in liquid at work with my little stealth mod in my pocket - and I killed it. Got the replacement in today and the only ones they had were the black ones with a big red girly kiss lipstick mark graphics on the side. Oh well. Not a huge deal. I'm rocking it, and no one else sees it on a regular basis anyway.

Greetings !!!...I'm surely not an expert but I've found the most important things for me to have some success at DIY are Simplicity & Organization...And I get it all into a pretty small area...Many mix by weight with a digital kitchen scale...I mix with syringes straight into the bottle by %...I tape a recipe behind each bottle and just run down each one like an assembly line...Just a few thoughts...Trig

1. My current set-up...The only thing missing is the recipes taped to the Microwave...
2. Before I Got The Storage Rack...Everything on a single dinner plate...Missing is the Big Shot Glass
for my syringes, the recipes and the extra empty bottles...
3. Done...Cap'em...Lable'em...Steep'em...

Thanks for sharing!
Nice way to stay organized.
I mixed the same way, just used a Beaker and Syringes to measure.

Was going to start doing it by weight, but that’s right when I moved and fell off of Vaping.

Hate when that happens!
Idk how many times at work, which I drove a lot, I would lay my mod on my lap and forget while getting out off my truck..
Switched to cheap plastic tanks after a bit lol

 

[petrotech]

hey puffer toots! I got the MIL to try vaping. she hasn't had a smoke in 2 weeks! woohoo! problem is, I only have 2 coils left for my (now hers) nautilus mini.

what's the cheapest place to get the 1.8 ohm coils? haven't bought a drop in coil in years. lol. vape shop wants 4 bucks a coil.

 

[oplholik]

Check ebay. Last time I bought some 1.6Ω for $10.89 for 2 packs with free shipping.

Well, at least I had a spare. And my new stealth vape is flat black like all of my other devices. The big red girly lipstick kiss graphic isn't as contrasting with the black finish as I thought it would be. My previous one was stainless steel and you could see the reflective surface in my hand from a distance when I used it. I think this one is actually going to be more stealthy even with the graphic. In this pic my old one is being held and my new one is on the upper right. They must be under bright light for the pic, because in my hand the red graphic doesn't really pop like that:
