Maybe that was why i could not tell what they were. I held the SVD w/an 18650. It is solid, probably kill something with it, but not comfortable to hold. Vamo was more comfortable. I am really waiting for innokin to release the VTR which is a vv/vw box and you can change the 18650 battery in it. Was supposed to be released 8/15 but they put it off. Read today the new version of the MVP will be released first and it will have vv/vw but no changeable battery. I hate decisions like this. I want one of each, then I can pick up the one I want to use that day and no buyers remorse that I bought the wrong one.

I am afraid the SVD might be too heavy for me. I have a real bad neck and had a couple of surgeries on it and not going to get better than it is so I don't want to make it worse with a heavy device.

from the left SVD, Itast vv/v3, Spinner 1300 mah, Vamo, minizmax

the SVD, Vamo and mini Zmax are all using 18350 batts which are 800 mah

really? at what wattage or voltage? I keep mine low because of the cough. and some taste better that way.


I vape at 7 to 7.5 watts most of the time. Today I found that Custard's Last Stand doesn't taste burnt at 9.5 watts and at least has some taste at that level. At 7.5 I was getting nothing.

I think I vape more like you than others whose posts I read. I have no job to limit my vaping pleasure. That's why I am thinking something I can buy batteries for rather than a device with a fixed battery.

I'm a chain vaper who smoked 3 to 4 packs a day. I kill a 2000mah rechargeable battery in way less than a day. :facepalm: :vapor:

I vape all day at home and I vape during my whole shift at work, except when I have to do something. That adds up to a lot of hours of vaping, just like it did smoking.

It is heavy, I use it least often even though I love it. It hurts my hands, and neck as well. that's why I put it in the 18350 mode. It weighs a little less that way.. I know the VTR looks nice, but I think it might be heavy too. I would wait on that and see if you can find it locally just to see how heavy it is. I didn't get the MVP because I hate to keep buying the throwaway batteries. The Itaste was an exception since I really got it for free with that gift certificate I won. I would buy that again, just no more twists. If my mods die, I will be careful to get only those that can use the smaller battery. Since, I am at home so much it really isn't a problem to charge the batteries.

You sound a lot like me. I am in a similar type lifestyle, if you can call it that. I would love to be working. No one wants to hire a 57yr old woman who can't be on her feet long or lift anything. The offices all want the college grads right out of school. 16 colleges in my 35 mile range of Nashville. No office job with benefits for me. The temp agencies won't talk to someone who does not have a current job. The companies won't hire them, even as temps. I tried multiple times over the last few years. Not even part time.

Before I lost my teeth, I present very well. I was a paralegal for years. No college degree, they don't care about experience. They want degree and current employment. And that is just to not throw your resume in the trash.

I know it's terrible that I smoked so much. I am bored, wish I was working, but I can't. I sit around a lot with not much to keep busy. My roommate and nephew are the only people I see for the most part. I only go out two or three times a week now. That's is I feel well enough.
I was very active before I got sick running all over the place. now more like an old lady. At 53 I didn't expect this. That's why I have to stop smoking. I am hoping to reverse some of the damage. I even gained 20 lbs in 2 years.

Before I started this job 14 months ago I was laid off for 2 years. That's when my smoking soared to 4 packs a day. I did nothing but sit in front of my computer all day and night, chain smoking. I rarely even got dressed unless I had to go somewhere, which wasn't very often.

I didn't think I'd get another job at my age, but I got lucky with a small company where the manager appreciated my experience rather than obsessing over my age. I'm a little surprised that more places don't hire older people. We usually have a much stronger work ethic, don't go out partying and calling off with a hangover, etc. I see stuff like that with all the youngsters I work with. Some of them are young enough to be my grandchildren. Yikes!!!

I heard that Custard's Last Stand is really good. Is it? Can it be used as an add in to a fruit or tobacco to tone a juice down? Or is it so good you would not want to ruin it that way. I forget who the vendor is.

the Degree doesn't even help in this area. No jobs for the last few years, and if you find one no benefits, and the salaries in Central Florida are dismal. When I first moved here, I was recruited by a company that paid very well. 4 years ago they failed and I found other jobs but the money was terrible even with experience. When I got sick nobody would keep me. I called in sick too often. Final straw was the ICU visit for 10 days. After that I had to stay home. If I was healthy I would head back to Boca Raton for work. Or Fort Lauderdale. Much more money to be made there in comparison.
I have paralegal background just schooling actually worked in marketing. (more money)

On Kindle make this short NO Shari !!!

You heard her, Shari. NO!!!!

I thought I'd be in vaping heaven with Custard's Last Stand. For me it's meh. I got the 50/50 18mg with no flavor shots that is pre-steeped and overfilled if you order it that way. I'm getting very little taste from it other than a slight sweetness. The Cream Brulee tastes the same way. It's supposed to be CLS with a shot of caramel, but I'm not tasting that either. I'm sure my taste buds are still fried, though.

I saw people on the vendor thread (Nicoticket) raving about it and saying that it burns clean and can be vaped at higher wattage, so I ran it up to 10 watts. It doesn't taste burnt and there's a tiny bit more flavor, but not much. I much prefer my Deadly Sin.

I bet it would be good mixed with another flavor, since I do get the creaminess, just not any vanilla.

mmm you sound like me, in November when I still had money I ordered a few bottles and not one of them could I taste. It was disappointing. I did find two nice flavors but I can't buy them anymore. What is Deadly Sin? and from whom?
