Something like this RTA mentioned here Meclyfe x Fallout Vape XRP RTA which has both an RTA or stock Voopoo PNP coil options (2 different bases) might be ideal - and also has the changeable AF under the coil with out having to move the coil

As to why Forums etc are quiet these days - i'm assuming that most of the 'Old Guard' have found the vaping kit that they're happy with and no longer seeking the latest brand new shiny Toy syndrome that used to drive us to Vape Mail addictions

I was living in China for the last 8 years - couldn't actually by new kit easily (bizarre though that might sound) and had little to contribute - as even my daily life was so different and not an avid taker of pictures

NB
Swapping the Kanger Top Tank onto the Innokin Kroma 217 - and switching between it and an Iinokin Ares2 on a Coolfire Z80 - with the same juice and Drip Tip - and I'm actually having to look occasionally to see which I'm vaping as the difference in Shape and quality of the vape isn't as great as you'd expect despite the nearly decade difference in innovation ☯️

Having been in China - and despite Fastech (RIP) being based in HK/Guangdong not being permitted to sell to China mainland - I'd order things and get them sent free post/cheap to me Ma's in Ireland, and then she'd add them to 'Care parcels' she'd send to me. Consequently, certain items weren't included and have just received now I'm back - some years later Lol

One of these - the Vaporesso Aurora Play - 2ml pod
Bought as was on sale and looked 'interesting' and without seeing the reviews and forgotten about.



OMG - what a delightful surprise - looks kinda Zippo-esque, but vapes really, really nicely.
650 mAh battery - 2 1.2Ohm 2ml pods (discovered they're still available to buy in the UK) 3 power settings - lowest red gives a loose-ish MTL, highest Green, a restricted DL
No AF control but, like as is - and apparently uses the Vaporesso C coil tech and has built in Temperature control to stop dry hits 🔥
What a lovely little Stealth device that also delivers ☯️

Aloha All
Having been in China for the last few years - and in the last year, Ecig tat being nigh on impossible to get except pods and then disposables - finally back and able to get a choice of mods etc

Going for reliability based on past experience - and Innokin certainly have provided that for me.

So bought a Z80 for 18650 option and now received a Kroma 217 via Health Cabin - and both have the Refresh option in their menu system.
The idea is that by using this feature it prolongs coil life and boosts the coil when the flavour becomes a little muted or less vapour production drops off. It seems to 'send' a burst of 40% power through the coil to 'shake' it and 'rejuvenate' it. Refresh can be Auto for a quick Refesh - or Extended set by the length of time you hold the Fire button - for longer used coils.
Whilst this seems likely to be aimed at Innokin stock coils - I've mainly been using this feature with my Rebuildbles - those moments when I'd usually be thinking of rewicking the coil (especially late at night when to do so is unappealing) for example.
And it seems to do enough for me to wait until a more convenient moment.
Any other thoughts, experience or advice?

Another sad loss!
China is definitely having a crack down on vaping products within China - my main dealer has had to close his website and WeChat (China's messenging and payment app) because of the restrictions (moved to Telegram though so not totally gone),
The Pandemic has/is costing China a heck of a lot of money - and, as ALL tobacco is State owned - i guess that's where they're looking to reclaim some of the money from. Surprised that this would go beyond the Chinese Mainland - but, maybe the political 'Game is afoot' - and they've made International Trade deals with countries with Huge Tobacco lobbies - just a specualtion. Thailand, Cambodia and i think Vietnam also have State Owned tobacco - so....
If i wanted owt from Fasttech - i had to get it sent to me Ma in Ireland for free, and then she'd send it back to me here (nothing with batteries included) because the Autonomous Trading Zones of HK and Shenzhen can't ship to mainland China - and so it goes!
Keep the Faith folks and hoping that you can still find affordable, quality vape kit to tide you by!

Oh well - it worked perfeck again for a week - and now only Manual button mode again

Did remind me how convenient a small(er) pod mod is - especially for travel - but can wait until the summer when i can 'Maybe' get back to the UK for the forst time in 5 years!
