Not to change the subject but how do you like that Black Note??

Me, lusting again about equipment I can't have. Here we go with the dollar rising and the peso plummeting. Again.

I've only tried the 'Prelude' flavor, which is mild and mellow. Tastes like, well.... smoking my favorite brand of ultralight.
It's flavor comes from Italian grown tobacco that started out as Virginia seeds. My favorite brand is from a small company that uses tobacco grown in and around Keysville Va. They have 2 brands. One is pure Va tobacco while the other lower priced brand uses some blends from the Carolinas and areas around Va.
Black Note has a Kenntucky tobacco and some others I haven't tried simply because the Prelude hit the bulls eye for me.
So when only the minimum gear is practical like company meetings, I carry a Penguin loaded with Prelude in my shirt pocket for the occasional stealth vape in an elevator or restroom after company execs do those things execs do to make life more.... complicated.
When I get back to the construction site the other gear is waiting in my vehicle.
I use the eleaf, the aspire et-s bvc glass tanks, adapter thingies to engage the eleaf to the tank, and those are all I need. I don't even want to try other things because a new kind of tank means a new kind of coil, more buying, more hoarding, and what I use now works beautifully and reliably in a non-banned environment, travels well, so I won't mess with it.
For the future banned environment, what I hoard is that which is my minimum set-up, still the aspire et-s and loads of coils, the adapter thingies, and plastic bolt mods, which have about disappeared from the market now, but were plentiful and cheap at one time. They use a single externally purchased battery, are vented, all safe.
Though the plastic bolt mod is scarce now, there is a brushed aluminum variety of the same thing, in basic colors and pretty colors, still plentiful, a little more expensive than the plastic was, but relatively moderately priced.
I also have an authentic original kato hammer, with serial number etched on, but it's a show piece. I don't want to use it.

On any given day when I'm out or I am working, i have my mech, RTA, 2 fresh batteries (just in case), and a bottle of juice. I'm so confident in my setup I've never brought a backup.. only just recently on our 2 hour boat rides, I've brought another mech and an RDA. I almost always leave it at home. I brought it with not as a backup, but just for something different.
I guess my entire setup is pretty minimal too.
3 mechs
2 RDA's
1 RTA
Wick And wire for years to come
Precision screwdrivers
scissors, ceramic tweezers
Ohm reader
O rings galore
4 bay charger
2 sony vtc5as
1 sony vtc4
8 IMR 2000 mah 18650s
Juice
I just made it through 8 days in Europe with nothing more than three Aspire Breeze devices (I refuse to call them "mods"). I didn't take any of my good stuff because none of it is TPD compliant and I didn't want to risk losing it to an over-zealous customs agent. I suppose the fact that I didn't smoke (despite the fact that there were far more smokers around than I'm normally exposed to) proves that a few $15 devices could be my minimal equipment.
Then again, I'm really looking forward to using my good stuff again.
