Any Vapers?

[Night Hawk]

The YouTube videos only serve one purpose being "Showman"!If you were referring to someone with a high end custom case maxed out and was showing it off all the time you might call that bragging rights!

With vaping besides the humor intended in some of the vaping clips you find by intent the more bigger and larger clouds isn't ocing but grand standing to a degree as far as being competitive. In a place like Nevada with all those "high rollers"? "We have to get the show on the road!" seems to fit the vaping competitions well. The audience roars and someone shouts: "Awesome!"

 

[ThrashZone]

It's all in good clean fun and friendly competition no matter what the device is
Push it to the limit then a little more for the hell of it

 

[Night Hawk]

Well that;s the idea to begin with trying to push the hardware limits a little to see what can be done. You won't find people bashing others who vape at all since most have the same or similar goals. There's no cut throat to be champ type competition going on anywhere while some are simply not interested in cloud making. They would rather leave that part of the equation to the "crop duster"! :sarc:

Wow

The main drive for higher watts is to see mods provide that extra layer of output since you can draw on a cig size battery and cartridge all day long and not get anywhere. When first starting I keep on smoking for those first six months with that as one of the main factors besides wanting to make sure I was 100% done completely with smoking if there was anything to ecigs.

With the Logic lemon/wimpy menthol disposables three of us who tried the same thing since I passed the second of two along to a friend I knew I had to look for something better right off! Then I price shopped and ended with Bloog with that brand's prefilled intially until I found they carried refillable blanks that could use any brand's flavors. By then someone else I knew was just quitting and considering starting up a small family run eliquids business which has actually prospered quite well in the last 18 months!

He had the big head start at first as far as hardwares and DIYing besides what Apollo was putting out. By the time he got through the initial samples sent to the FDA for approval I had already set the almost exact day to stop for initially by intent a full month to see what happened. The first butt almost put me horizontal! Yet despite the first vamo and a eGo-C Twists ordered the same month I knew something was still lacking for this to be permanent! VAPOR!

The old CE2 top coiled long wicked clearomizers were going to wear out soon enough until the fall of 2013 came about and October saw the MVP ordered but still those old clearomizers! Now that I had some variable wattage devices the next hardware upgrade was for new tanks. Sub ohming wasn't on everyone's mind since the max seen then was still 15watts with the Vamo type APVs. The first 20w-25watters were then coming about six months ago. Then 30w onto the eventual 50w until Sept '14 when the 100watters were available!

I glancing at a few posts I'm thinking that this must be what reading the PC Custom Builds and Overclocking forum must be like to people who don't know anything about computers. You Vapers have your own language and ecosystem going on. LOL

It sure seems that way! Half the time I can't even pick on some discussions with terms like atty!At least with ocing you know you are turning up the clock speed and voltage for the cpu and memory speed plus voltage increase while a lot in vaping is abbreviated! 'huh? who? what? over!"

It makes it sound more technical then it is by speaking in jibberish at times! "I got a new atty and the plume was awesome!" with the next person thinking "???" :huh: "gee wiz I can't figure this stuff out!" :banghead:

What you need to see first is A Beginner's Guide to Vaping before you lose it completely!!! :roflmao:

I am struggling with my choice of GPU at the moment so I decided to put the money by and think on it for a while.

In the mean time I ordered the following-

IPV V2 50W Box mod
1x Purple Efest IMR 2500mAh 35A Battery
1x Samsung 25R 2500mAh Battery
1x Aspire Atlantis
30ml of 6MG Sweeney Todd 70%VG/30%PG Juice. (Apparently when vaping at high watts you should not really go much above 6MG if you like your lungs lol).

Edit: I managed to save a total of around £35 ($55) on the above due to black Friday deals.

Nice looking mod you are getting there Paul. Hold off for the 980TI

That's good to know, Paul. I had a game code I was going to send you, but remembered you have no GPU. Now you have decided to wait on getting one. The game is downloading now.

 

[Night Hawk]

Well Black Friday -Cyber Monday only come once a year! So I think Paul had to make a choice on grabbing up some specials!

Here however I have to avoid Efest batteries since they never fit into anything with an aluminum body. The diameter on the Efest batteries is the main problem. With the old tube mod even the panasonics weren't narrow enough and were slap in and pound out since the aluminum battery tubes never allow any extra space for various brands.

The IPV V2 is a looker there! While shopping around for other 50watters the Smok BEC Pro that will fire at 0.3 and the Smok Silenus certainly came into focus and FastTech had the best price on the BEC Pro! If you can find it there you usually end up paying less then found anywhere else even without their 10% Black Friday discounts.

Here while running searches for several mods I stumbled into some other lookers as well with a few being SMOK(Tech) brand like the Silenus up about $100US and the 20w Vamo Fire that caught notice and will suppliment the V6 ordered lately!

To catch any real deals be sure to price check at Fast Tech as well as seeing what is going on for deals at Vaping Deals and Discounts that usually bring you right back to FT most of the time while you do run into some other price breaks. For anyone in the US now looking for the Innokin iTaste MVP V2.0 20% comes off the $39.99 price tag which is still about the lowest anywhere since most want $50 or more! at the checkout automatically since the discount without need for code is automatic. Ironically this is where I got the VTR from last summer which is presently out of stock.

 

[paulpicks21]

Thanks Doug, yeah it looks quite nice.

Well thanks for saving the game by anyway Steve. I think most of the new Nvidia cards come with 3 games so hopefully when I do decide to buy I will get them too.

Yes Hawk, really I was just looking around as you do. And then I spotted the Atlantis available on a site with 20% discount and then I did a bit more looking around and saw they had the IPV V2 and they recommended the Purple Efest to go with it so I added that to the cart too. It kind of spiralled out of control and before you knew it I had ordered it all.

Then I went to the same site I got 100ml of Vanilla custard from and they had 35% off so I had to order some juice! But I went back later to order 100ml of another juice called Custard cream which everyone seems to be raving about.

Then a little while ago I was looking for replacement coils and found a site that had both the Nautilus BVC coils and new Atlantis coils in stock and there was 20% off for black Friday and free delivery so....yep you guessed it, I had to order those too.

I should be set for a little while now though and I don't expect to spend any more this year.

But even on all my spending today it was still half the cost of the previous normal monthly household cigarette bill.

 

[Night Hawk]

It's great isn't it when you can get it all in one stop?! Originally that was case when first starting out going to Bloog until the need to upgrade came along and now the price wars began! :sarc: Once I find what I will be needing I'll be all set here for some time unlike last year's chaos factor when not knowing which what to be looking for!

When I order quite a bit from Amazon here in the states I go through the Amazon.smile Vape for Vets.org which then donates a small percentage to a non profit org at the same time I run into any better prices there. With a new epipe coming in soon I was able to grab a few bargain on high drain 18350 1200mah batteries usually only 700-800mah in size as well as them being flat top.

Besides the vaping needs I use this time for gift shopping as well when all the bargains are floating around! I just ordered a pair of Andriod laptop for under $100US for a pair of kids who generally get bugs on their parent's laptops! The Vista laptop was too hammered on to save after replacing two drives in that!

Unlike starter kits and other vaping gear since a few others lost interest over the last couple of years I went for 128gb flash drives since the prices for the 2.0 drives are way down. A grabbed a pair for a keychain holder here as well since the 32gb were getting a bit too small. I still have two others to get started off however and won't be needing any more ejuice for some time with three boxes full of bottles and a 120ml coming in! Just needed the larger Nautilus 5ml tanks to play catch up!

 

[paulpicks21]

Vapemail!

 

[Night Hawk]

NICE!!! I will be getting some vape mail here soon having decided to toss in a Dovpo E-LVT 30w mod as well as going for the Smok Guard epipe mod not the new Guardian II to be coming but the previous wood and gold colored mechanical mod since I had a much better idea of what to go for this year over last year's Black Friday and holiday sales.

You should like the Atlantis for sure. At first fill allow it to sit for a good minute or so since it takes a little longer to soak into the larger wick inside the coil itself compared to the Nautilus or other more regular tanks. Then allow it to heat for a second or two before taking the draw. You may hear it sputter at times but not from being flooded. That's normal however since it draws a larger amount in due to the larger size of the coil itself about twice as large as the Nautilus BVD coils.

 

[paulpicks21]

That Dovpo is a strange looking thing isn't it!

Yeah, I filled the tank up and put the battery on charge so it was left to soak in for a good 30mins before I tried it and dam is it a beauty! I have tried a few hits at 35 watts and the flavor is excellent. It certainly packs a punch and the missus is gonna hate the clouds lol.

I am extremely happy with both the IPV V2 and the Atlantis. My vaping life is now complete!

I sold my MPV 2 today for £25 ($40) as I didn't feel the need to have 2 box mods and I have the Vamo for backup. So that brings the cost of my Black Friday spending down a bit

 

[Night Hawk]

Well that was upto you but if you are charging one thing the other would still be available for use. Here I had already grabbed the Vamo V5 where I could pass along the V2 to someone who is on disability and he ran with it for some time before that let go on him. By then he had a few more like the iTaste v3.0 battery and another mod he sub ohms with. Talk about clouds he rebuilds, rewraps the RDAs he uses.

Once all the vape mail comes in for this year's shopping fest should I say I'll post a good look at both mod stands along with the new stuff and three shipping boxes full of flavors! I have a growing collection but nowhere as extensive as some however! World's Largest?

Here's a shot of Collection in February '14 and then within the last month or so which shows quite a change including a new wooden mod/battery stand. But first a fast look at Collection in May 2013 so you can get a better idea of how fast things can change! February 2014 shows the Smok Groove II in front left of the first stand made for me last December. And then one snapshot Sept. 2014 that shows both stands and still not the early stuff!

Naturally you may never even see that much together at one time while I started sampling flavors for someone while he was first getting ready to start up a new eliquids business while I getting used to various hardwares and ended investing a little more then average. But when calculating what I would have spent on tobacco going by the present carton prices I made out quite well considering mostly with batteries I would order a second or more as spares.

 

[Dude]

Looking really good Paul. Somehow I don't believe "My vaping life is now complete!" I bet that bad boy can go through some juice.

 

[paulpicks21]

Possibly not Doug lol. And yes she likes to drink juice. Speaking of drinking...that's my Saturday night sorted :roflmao:

 

[essenbe]

So, what makes this Saturday night different than any other Saturday night? Other than some new fangled vaping mod.
