Long time no see - looking for advice...

[ionian]

Hello AAEC - I haven't posted here for ages, mainly as I needed a cure for my shinyitis and you guys were just feeding my shiny habit. I hope everyone is well and that there are still a few people on here that remember me!

For the last year or so I have been happily vaping on a 30w istick with a single coil rba (Troy X by Fakir, it's no longer available but it suits me perfectly). I've cut my nicotine down from 18mg to 6mg, and at the end of my current bottle I'm swapping to 3mg. I'm still vaping monkey jizz - that hasn't changed in ages!

My istick is on its last legs. I have mechs and a 75w box mod as well, but I want to replace my every day, hassle free mod and I'm hoping you can provide me with some suggestions as I am so out of touch with the latest gear. I want something pocketable that can vape up to 30w, about the same size as the 30w istick, can take a 22mm RBA, and that can be bought in the UK. Reliability and decent battery life would be good. Budget is around £50 but I can up it if I have to for the right mod. I don't want another mech, and I'd prefer a small box mod. I have no need for temp control as I am swimming in kanthal and only replace my coil every couple of months at present.

In other news, I started photography whilst I was here - photographing mods with my phone became a fun hobby, and it has developed somewhat since then. I now have my own website and facebook page, should you be interested in my latest obsession!

A Tesla Nano might also be worth consideration ionian . . . . I bought mine on FT:

Next to an iStick 50w . . . .







Good to see you still around.

my pico from mayday sale is finally waiting to be packaged !!!!

My choices would be either the Pico, or Evic Mini, both ideal for indoors or out and about, and both pack a punch if required.

Mind  you, both the above would require purchasing  decent 18650 batteries and a charger if you didn't want to use the onboard USB charging.

Thanks everyone - I have decent batteries and chargers already, but prefer to use my usb charger for my istick (500ma output so nice and slow charging).

Q - thanks for correcting the website link!

It looks like an istick pico is the front runner, although that Tesla mod looks nice if it can be bought in the UK (my days of being patient and waiting for fasttech are long behind me). I had the original Evic and loved it so I'll look into that too.

OK, Tesla Nano ordered. See, I've still got the quick-fire mod-buying instinct I learned here! Thanks for the link Chrissie.

Hope everyone is doing ok - it's coming up to 3 years for me with vaping and (not that I'm judging anyone else) I haven't touched a cigarette in all that time. With the upcoming move to 3mg I should be nicotine-free before the end of the year.

I passed the 2 year mark earlier this year, and I've dropped to zero nic about a month ago

Just over 6 years for me ionian, which is nothing short of miraculous as I struggled to go 6 hours without a ciggy - at home then between 3-6mg does me.

At work, then 12mg as I'm on a Customer Service Desk . . . . . which has its moments.

I have broken my evic mini ionian - waiting on royal fail to fix it (thanks to a very kind chappie who has put a silicone sleeve in the post for me whom I've forgotten the name of) - so whilst I love my evic mini - it is prone to a knock on concrete LOL

But yeah glad the veterans were able to sort you out

Postie might smile tomorrow - you never know?

PS. My nic level is officially homeopathic (hope you don't mind the misquote Postmodern Smoking) - it hath a name - TPD!
