Recommendation for old vaper

Hi All,

I've been vaping for around 10 years. I have one of these -> kanger subox. I use the rebuildable base and roll my own coils. I like mouth to lung. 16W 1ohm single coil.

This thing has been incredibly sturdy and reliable but can't find replacement parts any longer.

I'm guessing vape technology has moved on alot. The modern vapes seem very disposable with designed obsolecence (i.e batteries you cant easily switch out).

All the rebuildable mods seem to cater to people chasing huge clouds, with crazy coil setups. I'm just a guy who's happy he no longer smokes 30 a day haha.

Can anyone help me out with a recommendation that suits me? Appreciate it!

Thanks

E-liquid recommendations similar to Lost Mary/Elf strawberry ice disposables, that are available in the UK!

So I quit smoking by switching to vaping, I started with disposable bars, particularly the lost Mary/elf strawberry ice flavour. I've now got myself a oxva pod system. I've bought the elf strawberry ice liquid and the lost Mary strawberry ice liquid but I really dislike both of them.

So does anyone have any recommendations for an e-liquid that are similar to the disposables mentioned above, a sweet strawberry with a hint of menthol? Available in the UK!

Thank you

Not feeling anything is vape addiction?

The first week I smoked every day three times a day and I felt dizzy and very relaxing, but now that I've been doing it for a month I don't feel anything anymore, i've stopped smoking for several days since that and when I smoke I still don't feel anything and I read that nicotine tolerance is a symptom of withdrawal/addiction? but I haven't felt any other symptom than tolerance, should I stop?

Why some liquid manufacturers don't have PG/VG percentages?

I vaped 5 years ago, went back to cigarettes and i want to vape again. Alot has changed in this field. I can't find percentages or " custom" order of VG PG like in old days? Also the minimum nicotine was 35 mg/ml ... isn't that too high? I ordered from element vape, brands i will get coastal cloud,vgod Also nic salts are in mg like 25 mg and 50mg ... non salt just nic 3.5% or in percentage?

Sorry if some of the questions were answered . I don't want to make coils and mods so i got xros3

Longtime vaper recommendation: HorizonTech Sakerz

So I've been vaping for around 10-15 years. Started with winding my own coils, etc... I've tried a bunch of tanks. My criteria for good ones are

  1. coils last a long time
  2. no leaks in general usage (pocket, bag, etc..)
  3. flavor
  4. airflow
  5. ease of use/filling

Had a bunch of pretty good ones, but always a fatal flaw. I don't see the one i currently use getting any love, so i thought i give them a shout-out in the hopes that they will stay in business and replacement coils/glass will be available longer.

I have been using the HorizonTech Sakerz tank for about 2 years now, and its the best tank I have used. It has nifty airflow channels that draw in air from the top, but feed the air in at the bottom which results in VERY few leaks. I run at ~50 watts 50/50 pg/vg and the coils last at least a few weeks, but normally at least a month.

All around a GREAT tank.

iTank 2 vs Zeus Sub Ohm

I currently own the GTX One but i'm looking for bigger clouds and especially better flavor.

I can't decide between itank and zeus, flavor being the deciding factor.

Does the Zeus tank fit in the target 200 mod? If so i'd consider getting the target 200 kit and the zeus tank so i can try both tanks.

Or if anyone knows if the flavor difference from GTX coils to GTi isnt that great then i'll just keep mine. I'm using the 0.8 on the gtx one, as the 0.6 just muted the flavor.

If anyone could share their experiences with any of these would be great! Also coil life expectancy

Any recommendations for a rebuildable mtl atomizer?

Kinda experienced builder, been vaping on a kayfun 2019 lite clone for about a year now, the atomizer broke like 4 months ago ( can't adjust the airflow anymore, the screw just spins to Infinity and doesn't change the airflow ) and after taking my forgotten Zeus X ( ik it's a dl and I shouldn't compare it to a mtl ) for a run I really noticed how bad the airflow on my fake kayfun is. Any recommendations for something not 200$ and with good throat hit?

Is Nude Nicotine permanently closed?

2 weeks ago I went to reorder some nixteen.And their site said under construction for a better shopping experience. I'm still unable to order from the website. Are they permanently closed?

It took me forever to find decent nicotine. After the new laws took in effect and now I gotta search all over again if anybody wants to DM me. I would greatly appreciate it.

Looking for Legit vendor for Valyrian

Hello, new to this subreddit. I'm just at a loss at this point and didn't like any of the options available at my local vape stores. I used a Valyrian 3 since its release, Valyrian 2 before that. I lost the 3 a few days ago while drunk, so it's nowhere to be seen. The 2 I gave away to a friend that uses it to this day. A lot of the websites out there that say they have it in stock (or the 2 pro) seem to be fake.

I'm hoping someone here might be able to lead me to a legit vendor that has either the 3 or the 2 Pro in stock.

Looking for POD system recommendation please - Previously owned a Uwell Caliburn 11w + XROS Mini

Quit vaping a couple of years ago but here and there ill pick it back up on occasions. Going camping soon so would like to bring something along with me.

Previously I used the original Uwell Caliburn 11w version and loved it. Love that the koko coils lasted me a good whole month before i had to swap it.

Last time at the vape store, I picked up the XROS Mini and hated it. Coils burned within a few days of use and just was meh.

Could someone recommend something <$30, with coils that wont die so quickly on me?

I was looking at more Uwell product but seems like a lot of ppl are saying they're not good anymore?

Recommendation doesnt have to be super fancy, just simple stick pod type or something similar.

TIA!

New Box Mod Suggestions

I know there have been so many similar posts, but I am getting overwhelmed ping poinging around. TL;DR: I need a new mod and I have no clue where to start since the VP Drag still has a chokehold on my preference.


I started on a VooPoo Drag back in 2017. I was OBSESSED with the Drag. At one point in my obsession, I had 2 Drags, Drag Gold, 2 Drag minis, 2 Drag 2 Platinums, and 3 Drag 2 Refresh... lol. Between 2017 and 2021, I had given away or sold the drags I hardly used (stupid). I really only used my original Drag and would switch to my favorite color of the D2 Refresh. I was not a fan of the Platinum doors, the mini was just not for me, and I didn't see the need to have an over accumulation of box mods when I really only stuck to two of them.

In the beginning of 2022, my Drag just shit the bed. There was no saving it despite all attempts. So I exclusively used my D2 Refresh. By the end of 2022, the ole gal had seen the last of days and it was time to retire her. Obvi, those mods aren't made anymore & that is truly all I know. I popped into the shop... had the worst experience with a new guy working mansplanning mods to me... I didn't care, I just wanted a mod similar to the Drag. His "best and #1 suggestion" was the Vaporesso GenX... Granted, it has lasted me almost 2 years now, but it is HORRIBLE.

Battery door magnet is TRASH. Doesn't hold charge & it's not the batteries (husband also vapes & the batteries last in his mod, but die soooo fast in mine). It sometimes takes a few solid tries (3-4) just to get it to fire... I'll just be pressing the button like an idiot trying to hit it. The screen gets HOT. & I mean like HOT HOT. The graphics are pixelated and just overall not a fan. I haven't even dropped this mod & you would like I have yeeted the mod off the roof of our house or let it fall off the top of washer on a high spin cycle.

I have ZERO idea what to get... I have looked at the GeekVape L200 & Lost Vape Centaurus P200, but I am open to any and all suggestions. I prefer a larger/square/brick shape box mod vs the smaller/mini/single battery vapes. I vape A LOT & I prefer to keep it running 67-75W, but will do less if needed. I need something that will last, is durable, won't burn holes into couch because the screen is hotter than hades, won't refuse to fire, and won't die after 3 hours.

Bought a new device and I have problems

Hello, I bought a Geekvape Aegis Solo 2 100W Kit with a subohm tank, I think a mesh coil is pre build in the tank. I took my liquid from Vampire vamp Pinkman and put it into the tank and let it be for 30 minutes, when I took the first hit it was directly smelling burned as if the coil didn’t absorb liquid, I bought an extra sub ohm tank with same coil and put Vampire vamp Heisenberg in it and even let it be for 3 Hours, same problem. I also tried vaping with 30,35,40,45,50,55 W but in every case it was smelling burned and it was extreme.

What am I doing wrong?

Recommendations for a step up from the xros mini?

I got my first Xros Mini back in early 2022. It's actually the first vape that helped me completely quit smoking. I used to use a Smok with a tank, but I'd always end up dropping and breaking it. And those tanks aren't cheap, so I'd just go back to cigarettes. I've already dropped the Mini twice, but they're so light they don't break. And I like that you don't have to press a button to get a pull. Excellent vape imo.

But everything wears out with time, and I see there are so many new Xros options to choose from. Can you guys share your favorite Xros device or any other good brands to choose? Thanks a bunch.

Best tank to replace NRG S tank?

I love vaporesso. My first pod system was a smok, though I’ve had 3 break on me within a month of purchase since then I don’t mess with Smok anymore. Been vaping on and off since 2015 and the best pod system and box mod and tank I’ve liked are all vapiresso.

I have the vaporesso gen s and love it. Stopped using it when my husband broke the tank (not just the glass) and I can’t find it anywhere. Can’t find the coils either. I loved the 4 barrel coils and the 3 barrel ceramic I think it was.

I would prefer to stay with vapresso but the only thing I can find is the itank and it doesn’t seem to have the options the gt has and it looks like the GT coils are on their way out.

Are there any tanks like it? Or if there is a place that still sells the gt coils and is there another tank that works with them? Any help is appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Coil not working

Hi, I just purchased a CE5 yesterday, charged the battery and seems to be great. The battery part lights up when I press the button but as soon as I connect the coil (mouth piece right?) it stops working. The button led no longer lights up. Tried cleaning it and positioning the inner par in the center but nothing works. I don't seem to find this problem around or maybe I'm not expressing myself right. Any ideas?

Oxva xlim pro pods burning quicker than normal???

When I started I remember a pod lasting me MONTHS and now they barely last a couple of weeks. I already turned the watts down from 17 to 12. Please either let me know what I can do about this or give me some recommendations for a different brand with longer lasting coils. (Rn I'm interested in getting something like the geekvape aegis legend 3 kit.)
