Here's a view that might split the difference arron .

If markscuba really doesn't like his Kabukis, ask him if he wants to sell or trade it.

You won't have to pay full price and he gets to free up some drawer space for a bit of kit he might use.

Oh dear, I asked Google about them and their website is down. There are two reviews in Google and both are recent and very negative.



Time to let slip the dogs of PayPal methinks.

Science

It’s a long story but one that I would like to share because it makes me so happy.


I personally have not felt the need for a gasper since I began vaping back in Feb. I started with a 30W i-stick and a nautilus; things have moved on a pace since then, but this story is not about my vapes.


At the time I asked my better half to try it, mistake. She went almost purple and once the coughing died down, declared that vaping was not for her. To be fair I was a 20-30 hand roll, no-filter chimney and she had a 2-5 silk cut super light habit and I should have known better. As you all know, the joy of not craving those stinky little money pits is very liberating so I explored a less cloudy way of getting the love of my life to give up the weed. I went for a decent Ego set up which had a refillable tank and definitely mouth/lung function only. I found it a really tight draw and to be honest far too much effort for very little reward.

Anyhoo she tried the Ego and liked it. Happiness reigned and cigs were not bought.


After 3 days, she complained that it wasn’t working; I asked when she last charged it, “What’s that?” I explained about the battery and bought her a spare one so she could charge one and use the other. Unscrewing the battery and screwing in the charger was a nause, but she didn’t seem to mind. Then the coil started to pack in, she came to me again asking why it didn’t work. I took her through the details of the coil and wicking and how the juice is converted to vapour. I could see then that she was starting to become disinterested with the complexity of it all. The smell of ciggies started to sneak back in and soon enough she was on the old silk cuts and the Ego became lost.


I took this as a sign that maybe vaping was not for her and rather than getting all righteous and preachy I should respect her choice.



Fast forward to last month.

While surfing the shiny stuff on the websites, I noticed a clearance deal on Ego sticks with a new improved battery life and better coil system. “What the heck” I thought, let’s try and get her to see the economy on the run up to Xmas. I bought two so she would have a spare and waited for postie to do his job. They arrived within 2 days and I had some mild Charlie’s Chalk Dust flavours which were not right for me. I primed one e-cig with Peanut Butter and Jesus, and the other with Dream Cream both at 6mg. I offered her the Egos when she got home from work, and explained that they had moved on a pace since the last time and that these were a far superior product. She tried them and was a fan, I was happy, all was good with the world; except maybe for a small dent in BATs profit margin. What I really wanted to do was get her a quality atty and mod but I remember her horror when she tried mine.

Yesterday one of the sticks clogged, and just when she wanted it most she was denied a nicotine hit. Fortunately she was not too far away from the spare and disaster was narrowly avoided. I took it all apart and cleaned out the innards. For some reason, possibly thick juice, it bunged up very soon after that. I could see the “here we go again look” and had to think fast.


In my stash of collectibles, there was a Glass Vision V-Fate Nova which was virtually free on a clearance deal and yet another impulse buy. I dug out my old 30W i-stick and loaded the Nova up with juice. I set it to 6 watts and had a sneaky toke. Piss weak, a very tight draw and about as much flavour as a NAAFI tea bag. PERFECT! Once again I suggested she try this new set up as she would be entering into a far more reliable world with longer battery life. She agreed it was better than the Egos and she liked it.


Halle-frickin-loo-lee-yah!


I even managed to get her to try different power settings and she is now happy at 8 watts. I know the battery is a reliable set up but that Nova is the most basic bit of kit I have ever laid eyes on. I am now on the lookout for a tight draw, non sub-ohm, handle-any-juice, attractive to the female, tank which will never leak. If I can build my own coils for it so much the better. I had a bad experience with a nautilus and would prefer not to use one.
Any suggestions folks? She's more about flavour than cloud. I am thinking of going TC on the set-up for maximum coil life, there are a load of good mods out there for the job but what kind of tank/mod pairing to get the most low-maintenance kit possible?


I want to do all I can to help her stay off the cancer sticks this time. I don’t think I will get another shot.

Nice one Get Off My Cloud you appear to have discovered a new element - Paltinum.

DiscoDes have you got a link to this bargain?
