Im still old school and sporting a evic mini, one battery mod, vapng at 12.5w, 1.5ohm home rolled coil in a kanger top tank and 20mg juice. I tried the whole sub ohm thing for a while and hated it. Was going through way too much juice, the mods were fucking ginormous, going through batteries like a whores dildo too. Fuck that. Nice small mod to fit nicely in pocket, one battery lasts me all day, and one tank lasts me all day. Plus im not pufffng on the 3mg shit like a fiend all day long.

Best of all the mods are cool and only like $34 from fasttech, and the tanks can be had for $25. They are so cheap I order them by 2 or 3 at a time to have backups. Never a worse feling then dropping your shit getting out of car or whatever, and having to wait for a few days to get a new hookup, or even worse driving around to vape shops which charge $20 markup on all this shit.

I ordered a Evic Primo Mini that came out a few weeks ago from Fastech, its inbound atm. I have a 2 cell Primo that I like, but want a single for dripping lower watts.

I have a Smok Cloudbeast which I rarely use now since I started dripping. I have a Aeronaut v2 clone which I think is over rated. I mostly rock a Pharaoh with a nichrome micro coil. Best flavor so far.

Dripping is a messy hassle in a lot of ways, but the flavor you get once you dial in is awesome.

Yeah quitting was good, there was a background noise of feeling blah that I never knew was there till I quit.

I've never understood how people don't get tired of constantly dripping.. it absolutely infuriates me to have to constantly redrip every few hits. THAT SAID, I do understand the appeal of the flavor, which is why I eventually got a Limitless (has like a 3-4ml 'tank' but is otherwise a drip setup) that I still use at home quite often for certain flavors that are more gunky but have great flavor. There's a chocolate milk one (Ninjaman), a fruit loops ones (Wahoo from NakedFish) and a few new ones from Naked100's Candy line that taste AMAZING to me, but gunk up the cotton within a day or two of constant vaping. If I use them in my TFV12, it ruins the coil in a couple days, so I only do it on my rebuildable drip setup so I can just change the cotton out.

Yup reloading a dripper blows, finding a RDA with a massive well that doesnt leak is the trick. I have yet to find perfection. The Pharaoh has a massive well, but you have to pull the cap fill the under deck well or it will leak. The Aeronaut has a big well is simple to fill, just pour down the top, you have to really overfill to make it leak. But I have yet to find the perfect coil + voltage + air flow to get great flavor out of it. I can get a dozen + pulls off both those before re-dripping.

I am all about bottom airflow, and that is leak city.

Is the limitless not what you want? You have to pull the top off to refill, but thats how i generally had to drip. I guess its almost side airflow, but its at the bottom of the coils. The flavor is great, but i havent used the others you mentioned for comparison.

Ive also heard great things about the cleito tank for flavor, but that might just be in comparison to other tanks.

I broke the glass on my Super Tank Mini when i was out of town 2 weeks ago and had to make an emergency stop at a local shop where i picked up a Clieto for $22. It's better than i anticipated but still not great. On the other hand i did pick up the Crown 3 on friday and so far has been the best tank i've ever owned. Great airflow, great flavor, 5ml capacity, and about the easiest thing in the world to refill. I highly recommend it. Almost no ramp up time on the SS coils that come with it an can run wattage or temp control i've heard. I have it dialed in at 70 watts. It does go through juice but nothing like the smok tanks do.

My first RDA was adjustable bottom sides and top, I ended up always closing off everything but the bottom. Not all bottom ones are good either I gave away a Herakles and Mutation X v5 I thought were lackluster. I am totally flavor chasing now.

Next on my to test list is the new Tsunami Pro that just came out.

Tried to put in an order with them, but a third of the flavors I wanted were sold out. Went to DIY E-Liquid, Electronic Cigarettes and Wholesale Nicotine & E-Cig Juice | EcigExpress and they were sold out of a bunch of stuff too. I ended up ordering from Wizard Labs they had a memorial day coupon so I saved a few bucks.

Hmm DYI site the 70/30 12mg base for $11.49. Add in a flavor and I am way under the $30 per 100ml I been paying at a shop. Basically getting 150ml free and the some.

get some extra bottles. when you dump the flavor in you need to shake the shit out of it and let it sit for a week or two to let the flavoring saturate the base liquid.

Ya I am thinking of pulling the trigger on one or the other. Not having worked since December though I don't have much juice on hand. If I buy any some of it is going to have to be used pretty quickly.

In theory anything fruit based only needs to park 2-3 days. You can fire anything right away. But you don't get full flavor til it had a chance to permeate. Read up on Steeping e juice. There are couple ways to accelerate it. Warm water bath etc.

Normally I just leave it in the window with cap off a day. Usually enough for me. I'm not really vaping for the flavor. I'm doing it because I used to smoke down 3.5 packs a day and it literally killed me.

Also one of the things home mixers say is that commercial juice has way more sweetener in it. You can buy a $2-3 bottle of "sweet*" and mix in 0.5-1% to make it match fancy store juice. That tiny bottle is enough to make almost a gallon of juice.

I was right there with you. plus smoking a pipe at night and cigars 3x a week. I fucking loved smoking. But it was really catching up to me. Add in all the chemicals and different forms of silica I breath in a working day and I was gonna end up doing scuba on dry land in a couple years. I doubt I quit in time, but I was getting scared. One day at work my physicality dropped off a steep cliff. A very oh shit moment.

I went with ecig this time because it had some flavors I wanted to try.
250ml premixed 12mg 70/30 base
60ml bottle
4 10ml bottles of flavors.
I'll put in about 7ml of flavor into my 60ml bottle each time and fill it up with the mix and go.
Not bad for $28 shipped priority. Hoping I get it Saturday/Monday otherwise I'll have to buy a 15-30ml.
I feel bad as I have been supporting my local shops for 2 years but I just can't afford to spend $100 a month vaping anymore.

I don't feel as they are going to survive much longer anyways at either place I went to. One place was literally ripping me off over 1/2 off reward coupons for a few bucks and under cutting the juice I was getting, the main I place I went to used to be PACKED out the door but the last 4-5 months I went in every other week for my 100ml I was usually the only person there.

Funny story, right prior to the election when people thought Hillary might win and world war would break out( not kidding ) I saw gangish(Mexican) type people in there buying 200ml bottles by the dozen at a time and they was pulling out wads of 4-10k cash to buy boxes of coils and juice and batteries.
