I miss the Vaporesso Target Mini. Help!

So I’ve had a LOT of vapes since my trusty Target Mini finally died. Seems like everything is a pod mod these days, and I just haven’t found the consistency the target mini offered.

Currently on my 2nd vaporesso luxe xr Max, but continually have problems with coils burning after charging. I’m so tired of it.

Are there any solid tank mods currently on the market that are as small as the Target Mini was? I don’t need super stealth, but I’m not looking for a full size mod. The Target mini was so perfect 😭

(Or if you have advice on this stupid Luxe XR Max burning issue after charging, I’ll take those too).

MTL vaper here. Aspire Nautilus 2s is gone!!!!

Been using aspire nautilus forever. Tried a few others from time to time, but have always gone back. I am just now realizing they discontinued it. Very upset. Can't find one at any of the online sites I trust. Can any MTL vapers recommend something similar?

Looking for a vape mod similar to GeekVape H45 with 20-30 watt coils

I vape salts on 25 watts and had a go with my cousins GeekVape H45 recently where I spent a day with it. The reason I didn't like it was it didn't seem smooth and low effort on the pull.

I've been using various $20-$35 vape store price pod kits but the lack of setting options left everything to be desired.

I can buy a box mod separately if a kit isn't suitable. So what kind of options do I have. In that wattage range with plenty airflow. I miss my sub ohm days with Smok Big baby where I had like 5 coils to choose from and not have to go high wattage. I don't think I ever went over 35 watts than.

Thanks in advance

Need Help! Geekvape Zeus Single Coil RTA O'ring equivalent

Greetings,

I have an old Zeus Single Coil RTA atomizer. I lost the spare parts years ago and now I need to replace the glass orings. They are about to die and juice started to leak through o'rings. But It's not possible to find spare parts, especially orings for this RTA. I don't want to let this boy die due to o'rings. I am able to find Zeus X RTA and some Smok TFV O'rings. Can Zeus X orings be used on old Zeus single RTA? I need help to find a solution.

Thanks!

Juice Brands Like Reds Apple Iced?

Hi, I’m looking for recommendations for juice brands similar to Reds Apple Iced. This has been my go to for years and I really only vape a few of their iced flavors.

The reason I have stuck with them for so long was because so many other juices would gunk and diminish the life of my tank coils.

Any recs?

Does vape juice change flavors significantly over time?

I have been vaping strawberry Nola salt from Sadboy for 2 years. I recently ordered 3 bottles from vape juice depot because I was down to a quarter bottle. The new stuff expires in 2026 which is as far-off an expiration date as I’ve had on a bottle of this stuff. It tastes so different, almost like what I would imagine pure vegetable glycerin would taste like, almost like string beans (although I don’t know). Do I let it sit and maybe it changes to the sweet savory nectar of the gods that is the strawberry Nola flavor I know and love or do I just toss it as a bad batch?

PS I have switched back to the little remaining drops of the old bottle and that one is fine (I thought maybe my taste buds had changed in the week but no it’s definitely this new batch)

Pacha Mama Fuji Apple Strawberry Nectarine

I've quit smoking about two months ago and since then I've been looking for an e-liquid that I'd truly fall in love with. I saw a LOT of people recommending the pacha mama fuji and almost decided to go for it, until I saw a post on this sub saying they taste terrible after switching to synthetic nicotine/clear liquids. I was wondering if that was just a bad batch and if everything's back to normal now, if so buy it. And if not, I'm looking for salt nic suggestions that are if not better, then atleast on par with the fuji apple before it bit the dust.

Geekvape Z SE Tank - HELP

I’m at my wit’s end. I’ve been using this tank for a few months now and was extremely happy with it.

However, recently the coils keep getting filled up with liquid even shortly after I’d put in a new coil. Liquid can also be found on the base inside. There usually is only a film of condensed water there.

I’n using 70/30 VG/PG liquid. The coils are 0.2 ohm /70-80 watts. I usually vape with 65 watts. So, I changed neither the liquid nor the coils.

I’ve checked every o-ring, changed them and swapped the glass to no effect. I can’t see any damage or dents or anything.

Which mod should i pick?

Hello! I'm looking forward to buy a new mod. I'm changing from a pod system vape. Should i pick the Vaporesso Armour Max or the Geekvape Aegis 3? The vaporesso has better coils and tank ( from what i heard) but it has bottom airflow which is more likely to leak (i've had a lot of issue with leaking). Can you help me to pick, please?

What is the lightest heated tobacco brand?

Hey all,

When I used to smoke cigarettes in my early twenties and didnt have much money to spend on it I bought hand rolling tobacco. But every time I had to realize that after a few days I was sleeping worse and I was a bit anxious because of the higher nicotine levels. During the years I lowered my nicotine intake to 1mg cigarettes, and it was working very well, I was sleeping much better, and no anxiety (compared to when I was smoking marlboro gold for example).

Recently I switched to heated tobacco and I like it a lot but I could not find something so light as my cigarettes before.

The cigarettes I smoked in the previous years had 0.1-0.2 nicotine levels.

Can I get suggestions about heated tobacco brands with lowest nicotine levels?

I am willing to buy any brand of device.

Will a no nicotine vape work?

I have a drug test in less than a week. It tests for every substance including nicotine. I stopped using my vape two days ago, but want to use a no nicotine vape to curb the oral fixation until my test in 4 days. I’m concerned the vape may include nicotine in it even though it states it does not. I got mixed responses on whether or not it does or doesn’t so is this risky??
I know nicotine leaves your system within 3-4 days but I read that the chemical released in ur body when u use nicotine called cotinine last way longer, anywhere from 7-10 days. So on the safe side I’m stopping a week before.

❓Best DIY juice kit for small test batch?

Hey guys 🙂.. I want to make my own juice for a small test batch, roughly 200ml to 500ml total.

I'm trying to significantly limit the amount of money I spend on certain aspects within a starter kit because I won't be doing this ever again and random supplies would just be thrown away and it'll be a waste.

👉 For example.. I don't want gloves, safety glasses, glass funnels, glass measuring beakers, etc.

Ideally I want to only buy the liquids, the bottles to put them in and the absolute bare necessities. Any aspect that I can do without.... I want to 100% do without.

I don't mind spending money on high quality PG, VG, nicotine, and concentrates... but the other stuff is where I want to minimize cost.

Any suggestions?
