So as many when we get new toys mods rdas rta's etc...It's a new device to discover. I'm a self confessed tank chaser looking for the "One" The ones that have come and gone are spheroid, orchid, goblin mini 1 and 2, serpent mini, kayfun mini 2.1, Billow v2, athea 22, nextgen etc etc. Some of these still get a run out. But the last couple of days I've been totally blown away by the skyline. The versatility if this tank with the accessories is just sublime. I got the drop tank with bubble glass to up capacity. The last couple of days I've put a new build in every end of work day. Easy to wick absolutely no leaks and the vape is just mind blowing. Very very happy indeed. This could be the end of tank buying. Well at least for a couple of months....haha Nothing wrong with sharing if you've found a setup that really works. I remember years ago trawling through forums like this trying to find an entry point. Back then, after some time with the cheap, tobacco shop ciagallikes I ended up buying a protank mini and a vision spinner. Best informed decision I ever made.
After that I jumped on the bang wagon a little bit and ended up with all sorts of vape gear I don't use.
With that said, I took my augvape boreas v1 out of a drawer a week ago, cleaned it with vodka, and threw in a .4 ohm dual clapton build. In all my years of vaping I've never vaped anything that tastes as good and doesn't burn your oesophagus on the way down.
I'm still learning, and it's good that you found a setup that works for you.
Also, why are people so hyped about sqonks all of a sudden? I have an old derringer, a proper flavour banger. Worth sqonking on?

Got the asMODus Nefarius RDTA this morning so seemed to be an obvious choice to pair it with the Pumper 18   Call me oldschool but I've never really seen the point in RDTA's. It's combining all of the disadvantages of an RTA with all of the disadvantages of an RDA? Really?
Maybe I'll try it out, one day, if I get the shinies, but I still think it's cool enough to run a dripper when you're in the mood and a flavour tank when you feel lazy (all the time).
Am I missing something awesome?
Also, that mod, how does that side button feel? Looks uncomfortable to fire.

faren the vandy vape pulse 80 watt squonker mod i was meaning, as for the Ebat 20700 batteries they are rewrapped 20700 ijoys the same goes for fogstar 20700 batteries and Ampking 20700 batteries even Efest are rewrapped batteries .The only big companies who actually make batteries are Sony,Lg,Samsung,Panasonic,Sanyo. We know that. I was just making sure you weren't about to do something really stupid 
There is a certain responsibility to look after people in the vaping community.
And I would absolutely NOT recommend using any re-wraps. Especially when the genuine alternatives are cheaper.
You have absolutely no idea what you are buying. How they will perform, what chemistry they are. It's a simple rule that I personally follow, minimise risk.

I wouldn't 'pulse' any battery at 80 watts amps (or watts) personally. The whole concept is invented and nonsensical. And I wouldn't put Ebat wrapped batteries anywhere near a vape. Not trying to be pedantic here but battery safety is seriously important. Stick with genuine sony VTC 4/5/6's if you're vaping low ohms. And watch some mooch videos www.youtube.com/channel/UCePHh3NMvu3rW2LFJeOWo-Q/videosStay safe bro. |

What everyone else said. I mean I just got shut of some LG's that were over 3 years old, and not because there was a significant loss in capacity, but because they were dented. And I am a very, very heavy vaper. I know I bang on about this guy a lot but mooch (tm) www.youtube.com/channel/UCePHh3NMvu3rW2LFJeOWo-Q/videos has a very interesting video series if you're interested in battery safety. I think he talks about lifespan in episode three six (I think). |

Thanks Pepperty 2 Bellus tanks received promptly, great and fair price, completely original, even have the old school font I mean you can't do better than that for out of production gear.
Fantastic.

Yeah, I was looking at those on FT earlier but I was almost certain youde stop making them a while ago, which makes me thinks they're clones. Having said that might be worth a punt for $20 each I guess. May just order a couple and find out  If Fasttech call them ' authentic ' then they should be faren . . . . . I agree they are probably 100% genuine completely authentic clones 
I dunno, certainly had that from FT in the past but I have heard they've cleaned their act up a bit. Incidently, I broke out my 100% genuine completely authentic goblin mini yesterday and instantly remembered what a complete PITA it is to build.
Vapes good though.
(I know it's a bit of an oxymoron calling anything a clone when you're dealing with the china manufacturers)

Having said that might be worth a punt for $20 each I guess. May just order a couple and find out I saw the updated bellus V2 on there aswel but haven't heard great things about it. But then again, for $20 I've one for sale in the Classies for a tenner including postage  . . . . although faren is doing quite a good job of convincing me to withdraw it! ETA: Now Sold!!

Been through about ten (million?) mods, mech and regulated but still on the same youde bellus as a daily vape I bought 5 years ago (or there abouts) and many other inferior devices in between. On the tarot mini atm and the releaux is still strong despite its age.
Only comparable setup in terms of convenience for a chain vaper like me was a sigelei 75w the original boreas RTA with no fancy coil shit, I mean straight up round wire kanthal .5 ohm coils. I burned through a lot of mods but I can always go back to the same one.
I could give you a list of the shitty ones I guess, in my experience.
Sigelei's are all dead but the releaux is going strong and the bellus, well. I wish I'd bought fifty at the time. Works awesome on any mod it sits on.

Interesting question and one that I'm fully sympathetic with. It turns out my wife is completely allergic to vaping any sort of PG ANYTHING, so we have I have been making all of our vape liquid for years with 100%vg. There are some problems with that, which I won't go in to.
But, if you are sensitive to it I can point you towards www.justvape247.com/ as they are one of the few places you can get 100% vg flavours (alcohol is probably involved, but no pg).
Hope this helps.

Hats off to you toots keep it up. I know many who have fallen back on the wagon so kudos for being committed to your own health and not being swayed by peer pressure.
Over the years ya know it's only people who still smoke who have ever protested against my vaping, funny heh. A bit like giving up crack or any opiate, they need to verify their continuous dependence by ensuring those around them are chastised with the same vice.
Stay strong.

Of the regulated devices I have to agree the DNA chip is hands down the best, in so many ways.
