I really didn't set out to buy less gear, I still love shiny new things, the right stuff just isn't out there.

I do most of my vaping heading to and from or at work so don't want to be fiddling with a squonker and the whole pod trend came along a good five years too late for most of us.

I still watch vids from certain reviewers and keep an eye on what's out there, it just hasn't been for me. I'm hoping the next twelve months or so will see a dual 21700 mod catch my eye, but I'm yet to see anything I like enough to buy

I haven't bought much over the last year or so, but the couple of things I've pulled the trigger on have been cheaper at the going rate over here than on FT.

The OFRF Nexmesh sub tank (a really juicy, tasty vape at 65W, coils that handle 200ml+ of juice before I think about a change. An awesome bit of kit!) is $35 on FT at the moment but was $45 when I bought my first of two for £25 from a UK vendor. It can be had for £20-30 from many places.

Admittedly I got a good deal paying just shy of £50 for the limited edition version of the GeekVape Aegis Legend just now, Vape Club are flogging them at the same price as the original version, but I've seen them at the £60-70 sort of price over here, $75 for the mod or $95 for the kit (do one!) on FT.

Not that I'm complaining about paying less, getting next day delivery and supporting vendors based over here, mind.

Is it GeekVape and OFRF not playing ball with FT or has the time finally come to stop checking the prices with our Chinese friends before buying something?

You can't go wrong with fogstar, I've always had great service from them.

I get about two weeks per coil using a CBD juice. I haven't tried this brand with other coils, but the other CBD liquids I've used have killed coils in a week or so.

I always have other setups on the go, so it gets constant but not heavy use, but unless you are using a super sweet coil gunker, I'd be amazed if you didn't get two weeks out of a coil.

I haven't used these as I've still got some 25R that are a few months old on the go, but when I next need batteries...

Mooch liked 'em, folk on some of the FB vape groups rave about them and the manufacturer are cool with their use for vaping, unlike everyone else.

Fogstar I have used in the past and would be more than happy to recommend. There will more than likely be a discount code if you can wait until Friday to order.

Bands or artists I've seen live a lot of times is also a pretty good way to establish favourites. Most of my money gets spent on going to gigs, live music is a stronger addiction for me than nicotine.

Kinda feels harsh on the likes of Kate Bush, Pulp and the classic Fleetwood Mac line-up, all of whom I'd go and see again without hesitation but will have to make do with being lucky enough to see once.

Frank Turner


If I count seeing him support blink-182 a few summer's ago, I think I've seen Frank live 11 times, possibly 12, I lose track. From him playing solo acoustic shows for a few hundred people to he and the Sleeping Souls smashing Wembley Arena with all sorts of venues inbetween.

The figure should be much higher, there are a couple of tours I still kick myself for missing. He always picks amazing support acts too, I've got into lots of bands through seeing them at a Frank gig. Oh and his cover of Thunder Road made me finally see what the fuss was about with Springsteen, so he was my gateway to The Boss.

Long Live The Queen was the first song of his I heard. I used to listen to Zane Lowe's R1 show religiously and can still remember sitting at work crying my eyes out after he played it. I rushed home and downloaded Love Ire & Song not knowing that I'd found an artist who was going to be quite so important to me.

Muse


I think I've seen Muse six times, Wembley Stadium twice, The o2 twice and Stade de France on two consecutive evenings, which was an awesome little trip. Of course I'll be at the London Stadium in a few weeks for another fix!

I don't spend as much time listening to their albums as I do Frank, but they are bloody amazing live.

I think I'm somewhere in the crowd on that video, having a bit of a moment, my little mind being blown by getting to hear them play a song I never thought I'd get to hear live.


blur


I've only seen blur four times, three big Hyde Park shows and a warm up they did for one of them in Plymouth. I say only, I didn't think I'd ever get to see them having missed out in the 90s.

Easily one of my favourite bands and instrumental in shaping my taste in music. When they decide to play live again, I'll be there.

I'm definitely in the crowd for this one, the show they played to mark the close of the 2012 Olympics is definitely in my top 5 concerts of all time, I'd probably only put Kate Bush and Springsteen above it.



I'll give you all a break now, I'm still a song short for my third idea.

The Hcigar Wildwolf?

Stupid name, really nice mod. Smallish for a dual 18650 and really nice in the hand. A lot of mod for relatively little money in my not so humble.
