What's new in the vaping world and what should I look for?

[amygx]

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if anyone can give me a compressed breakdown of the last 2 years of new vape kit, and what is good?

I have plenty of old stuff, example:

Protank 4's
Juppi
Arymi Gille
Evod Pro
Nebox
iStick pico
Apex Tank

...Blah blah blah.

All good and I'm sure still vape really well, but as I've missed a few years of tank/mod development, is there anything new you would recommend I look out for and could get to bring me up-to-date?

What's good?

I had a look on Kangertech's website but they appear to be going the way of disposables, what happened!

what kit are you using at the moment and what are you looking for. small discreet kits or bigger box mods that take removable batteries.
what ratio of juice vg/pg and what nic strength and also are you after mouth to lung at low wattage or sub ohm at higher wattage and bigger clouds.

kanger seemed to dissapear a few years back.
geekvape (6) and vaporesso (4) are the last two makes ive bought in the last 2 years but these are all 220w box mods.

I can be of no help at all amygx as I'm happily stuck in a pre-TPD timewarp and have boxes upon boxes of equipment yet still to be used. I've a box of re-buildables which will do me when the coils are no longer available for the tanks I use.

The only new tank I've bought in years is a Freemax Fireluke2, with bubble glass to extend the capacity - bought several infact when they were half price at various vendors. Could I say they're any better than my trusty Cleito's & Isub's , no not really if I'm being honest but I felt I ought to try something newer.

Mod's I'm well stocked up with them, again bought when there's been deals going . . . most recent device purchase a few Artery Pal Pro2's as they take good old nautilus coils, under £6 each in a sale and have been money well spent.

Eliquid - I can't be bothered/have time thesedays for full on mixing and have bought shortfills for a while now when again there's been sales on, so my stash of nic base is getting used and these suit my love of trying new flavours and I don't get left with numerous half used bottle of flavours, although I still keep a number in just incase I feel the need to tweak to suit my tastes.

All in all, as boring as it may be, I'm quite content with what I have and as it's kept me off smoking for 12years this April - I feel no desire or need to chase something more uptodate when what I have works and doesn't give me issues.

Hi and welcome back,
Compressed....
Short fills, 21700 batteries, pod MODs, honeycomb airflow, mesh stock coils, USB-C, and mainstream "artisan" (multi-wire) coils.


As noted above; how, where and why you vape will help determine if a 10ml squonker or a 2ml draw activated pod or something else, gets you sorted.

Have you set a budget?
Are your batteries in good form?
Chargers?

IMO, vape what you have until.
Shop and research while you vape.

Cheers
I

I had been using Ubertoot tanks and thought they were the bee's knees.I have since found Penodat MTL and they really are very good.They seem to be as rare as rocking horse sh*t now though

Currently using an iStick Pico with a CLTANK, because I have hundreds of coils for it. Also using the Nebox on occasion, I really like it now that I fixed the leaking issue, it's a good vape and holds so much juice.

Shame I cant' use 21700 batteries in my pico and other old mods, these batteries are longer in size?

Longer and thicker; offering greater mAh/capacity and/or a higher amp rating.

In 2014, I had 14500, 16340, 17670, 18350, 18490, 18500, and 18650 batteries in rotation.
Now it's just the two; 18650 and 21700.

Cheers

It's funny how things change over the year's we also use shortfills a lot more now with only a few recipes mixed from scratch. I use Topside squonkers most of the time (with usually 2 on the go at any one time) and my wife has recently nabbed my Yihi SX Mini and aromaizer tank.
