I've been vaping with regulated mods for 18 months and have limited use for the specifics of watts, volts and ohms beyond basic battery safety and which batteries to use when an external is needed. If that amount of technical information had been required to vape I would probably still be smoking.

Like someone who just wants to use a computer or drive a car she has no need for the "everything" details a hobbyist treasures . For now, do nothing more than make it convenient for her, and answer any questions she may have without more specifics than she indicates she needs, not what you think she should have. As time goes on she should become more independent with her vaping by learning how to change the coil, fill the topper and solve basic problems such as dry hits or gurgling. If not sub-ohming or using a mech mod what else does she and 90% of vapers really need to know? (rhetorical question)
Well, I don't think easy egosetups is going to work for her. So we keep the coolfire at one wattage and shd uses it like an ego-type. But if she were to change coil, switch tanks etc, she would have to ask me to help. Or if there is an issue with it, she'd just put it away and not use it. She doesn't really care about it at all, but she wants to switch from snus. But og course I'm helping her and answering every question :)

Sorry, I got hung up on the need for her to know the technical details.

Before completely giving up I would want to ask her why she doesn't want to learn how to change a tank (a simple place to start). Maybe she thinks it is a guy thing, too messy or she might break something expensive. If it is she just doesn't want to I wouldn't pursue it unless she brings it up again.

Good luck!

Sometimes she seems interested and ask questions, sometimes she just doesn't care at all.

Of course i can do all of that sturf for her, in the beginning, but I hope she id willing to know more about it/get more interested than in the future.

But it's at least a huge progress since last time :)

Oh, and I have a huge progression myself. Was 80kg before the summer, went up to 84kg in the middle, and since then, I've gone down to 75kg! :D By having my strict personal diet and excercise plan, which roughly consists on:

- Eat like normal
- Use more fruits/salad and green stuff in the dinner
- No excercise as usual
- Skip buying candy/goodies. Though I am eating if on visits and I'm offered and on birthdays etc. I just skip buying anything. Except sofa and sweet drinks. I've avoided them for months.

And nothing more! :)

I think she needs to find her own motivation in order to quit. Whatever that may be. Mine was not dropping dead. Saving money was a distant second. Count the ones you don't smoke.

I struggled for the first month until I started feeling and breathing better then I started getting serious about vaping.

Congratulation on the weight loss. My numbers are similar but started a lot higher. I just cut out some junk food and being able to breath really helps in getting things done.

When I started, it was for the sole purpose of being able to get nicotine inside. But as we found out we were being parents, we both quit smoking after finishing the last carton. She fully quit cigarettes, and I started vaping only. A month or so after the birth, she began using snus.

But she has found a little bit of motivation at least :)

Thank you! My goal is 70kg, but I'm not really doing much. I'll just see when the kilo's stop falling off :)

Morning All,

I recently emailed my local B&M to ask if they carried the Coolfire IV and if so would it fit my PT2'S. The manager responded telling me they don't carry Innokin products (??????) and they could set me up with a similar device (no thank-you). The curious thing was she told me my PT2'S would not perform well on the Coolfire IV but didn't say why.

I like my PT2'S; they've performed well for me. I like the draw (2.2 & 2.5ohm coils).

Thoughts?

Cheers

First thought that came to me was find a new B&M. Sounds like they have their own agenda on what they want to sell. Why wouldn't a PT2 not perform well on a Cool Fire? Got me as to why they gave you that answer!. It should do as well as any other tank you put on there! What did they try to push on you?

Hmmmm.....

Yep, their agenda! They want to sell you what they have, and a new topper that they have.

Your PT2 will work fine on anything you have that's not in TC mode. (May look a bit odd on a big tube mod, but will work fine!)

Mine (white) has an "Expected Delivery Date" of Monday. Not scanned since arrival in San Diego on Thursday. It still has to go through the North Houston Hell Hole Sorting Center before heading 120 miles north. It is a rarity for them to send anything north on a Monday but it could happen, maybe.

Dumb question. Does your USPS tracking update on the weekend?

It does, if the idjits bother to scan it. :D

Mine arrived at my local PO at 6:41am and got scanned in, but *JUST NOW* do I see "sorting complete," 4 hrs later... hopefully the next thing it shows will be "out for delivery."

My motivator was not wanting to go out and freeze to death -- vaping I can do indoors, so I neither freeze in the winter nor roast in the summer! WIN-WIN!! Then you add, lots healthier, lots cheaper, I smell a lot better, and it's actually fun... man, what a world of win!!! :D

Justkiddin, I use my ProTank 2's and Davides on every battery holder I got: CoolFire IV's, ProVari's 2.5, VaporShark rDNA, iStick 20 and 30, MVP's 2.5, 20 watts and 3.0 and the Subox mini.....I do rebuild them with 30 Kanthal and cellucotton somewhere between 1.5-2.0 and use an airflow controller with them. Sometimes I use the Aspire "Replacement" BVC's (NON Nautilus) with them by using an extension ring which I believe can be gotten at Vapor Beast. :)

I kinda thought the same...trying to up sell me. Not going to work. They haven't pyshed anything on me yet because I haven't ventured into the store. Shame really - I've gotten to know a few staff members there and quite like them. Think I'll check out our other B&M...
Thanks for your input! Much appreciated!

...that's okay, I look a bit odd at the best of times so it'd be a solid match.

Me likey. :) Especially the price -- less than $25 delivered! :banana:

Andria
yep they are still just 23.99 at Vapor Beast.

I hope you put a good 30 amp battery in there so you do not blow yourself up at 8 watts!
I ordered a white one. Got it, 2 drip tips, 5 unicorn bottles and an cooling fin adapter thingy all for $31 including free shipping.
got the cooling fin thingy in case I have 510 thread issues in any of my mods.
