The vendor of my Kabuki (and other stuff I was stocking up on) also included 2 caramels in the package. They were also delicious but they were definitely NOT my first candy/snack in a month :D
Haha. I've been trying to lose weight since summer by just adjusting what I eat and how much, without extra struggle. So far I've lost 5kg, and 7 to go until I'm 70kg. Slow and steady :)

You DID turn it on, right?

That little switch is so handy when I'm getting a new coil mounted -- I can turn it off so it doesn't matter how I grab the thing, yet not have to deal with the multi-clicks -- then easy-on again when I'm ready to pulse the new coil. Or, a quick way to secure it when I'm dropping it in my purse and running out the door! :thumb:

Then by all means, try some dessert / candy flavors :)
I've not had good experiences with those. They are good for a little while, thrn they clog up the coil after a day and it had to be changed after 4 days. With no flavor or one fruity flavor, they can last for a month :)

The sweeter the ejuice, the more gunking it will cause -- until/unless you get to building your own coils, it's good to keep that in mind. When I first started, I used a very lightly-flavored Virginia flavor, and my first coil in my T3S lasted 3 wks. Now I build my own coils, so when it gunks (about every other day!), I just pull the wick, dry-burn, and re-wick. A new coil is only required after a month or two.

I don't know about rebuilding the coils I have. But I cleanse them often and dry burn (haven't done that with the dual coils). And they last long time.

Sucks that I have 200ml left with 15mg and 600ml with 12mg. Well it'll be good for those times I can only vape for a minute or so. Gonna see how the 12mg is. Too strong and I'll order lower nic.

But how is changing tanks on a mod? I've always taken off the tank before refill and when changing flavors. Peple say I shouldn't. What do I do?

Just have two or more mods to switch off flavors. Top fill is ideal, but I don't have that. Don't change tanks unless you have to. Of course, ego threaded ones are better on your mod threads.

It depends on the tank. Some are filled from the bottom, so you have to take it off. Some are top-fill, so you can leave it on the mod while refilling. The main thing to consider is, how neat an operation is top-filling, for you? They say that kayfuns can be top-filled, by covering the airhole, turning it upside down and sideways and then back to right-side up, saying a magic incantation and holding your mouth right, but all I ever managed to do when I tried to top-fill a kayfun was waste 3ml of juice. Fortunately it wasn't on a mod at the time. :D But if you can top-fill and not make a mess, then leaving it on the mod is better, because the more times you screw/unscrew the threads, the shorter their lifespan. One of the things I love about my Achilles is that it's top-filled, and since it's an RDA there are none of those pesky "vacuum" issues that make top-filling a kayfun so perilous (and messy).

    You need to match the nicotine content to the quantity of vapor inhaled. Basically, for me, 12mg nicotine with a 2 ohm coil is the same quantity of nicotine as 3mg nicotine with a 0.4 ohm coil.

    Buying a lot of mods isn't really possible atm, but I can get 1 more. 2 if cheap.

    Why is one better than another?

    i have to switch tanks at least once a day/every day to refill (don't know how much I'll use off of this tank yet).

    I know, but when I bought the juice, I still didn't know I'd ever get a mod and new tank ;)

    It's not possible to top fill unfortunately.

    The nice thing about juice with to much nicotine in it is that you can always buy some PG or VG and dilute it to any nicotine content that you would desire.
    When I buy liquid with nicotine in it, it's 100mg nicotine, and I'm damn sure not going to vape it at that strength.

    You are doing fine within your budget restrictions.
    Planning on getting a couple tanks (mod versions) and a couple of mods with switchable batteries. Don't know which though.

    I know, but I don't have it here now, I've got to order again first :)

    Any store that sells beauty supplies will have VG. I doubt that there is a town in the world that doesn't have a store that sells beauty supplies. (wimmins' being what wimmin' are & all)

    My choices, but your preferences may be different. Nearly all parts are replaceable. Probably your most economical choice.

    It's not a major issue. I'll just order and I get it when I get it. It'd be worse if I didn't have anything at all :)
