The ipv4s stays at home. Too heavy and cumbersome to carry about. I just put an evic mini, tank, small dripper, bottle of juice and 1 spare batt in my waist pouch's side pockets.

I've helped out at a friend's vape shop on occasion...and seen some very terrible tanks/drippers come in for rebuilding. Some tanks have black gunk at the bottom, sloshing about (and the customer STILL says, "Simpan itu jus ya? Jangan buang!". Some drippers' internals look like someone had a very oily BBQ in there. Eeeeeyuck filthy filthy buggers! If the vapor production drops off, or the flavor starts to feel different, pls service your device. Don't wait for burning smells to appear!

Yes indeed it is most satisfying. When you get a coil looking nice and neat, and your good wicking ensures u got no leaks, the vape u take is even more enjoyable!

A few pointers off the top of my sleepy head:

As u r new, I recommend u read post #1 of this thread on "Guide to Vape Safe!!". Battery safety is important, even though u r using a regulated mod. Heck, read everything in post #1 if u have the time. Knowledge is power!

Only use a non-conductive tool like ceramic tweezers to pinch coils while firing the mod. If u use metal pliers, do not pinch while firing..u don't want short circuits.

Use a quality unbleached cotton for wicking. I use 2 pairs of scissors: longer barber scissors to cut cotton strips, and a shorter pair which is slightly curved for trimming purposes. I'm very fussy on my wicks (and coils).

Check out the Shopee app for yr smartphone (dl from google play). Some retailers are giving 30% off up to a max of RM30. U can also find reasonably-priced build materials and tools there.

Check out www.fasttech.com . Very affordable vape stuff from China with free registered mail shipping for purchases of USD20 or more.

Aaah my brother in vapedom...we merely show them the way. Man always has free will to choose the path that he takes

Come and meditate with me while we chant the blessed mantra of the holy vapors....

Tsst!Tsst!Snoooooorrrrrrrrk...hoooooooooooh!
Tsst!Tsst!Snoooooorrrrrrrrk...hoooooooooooh!
Tsst!Tsst!Snoooooorrrrrrrrk...hoooooooooooh!

Ahh...I see u were taught the mantra for vaping safety

That's one of several important chants in the school of Vaperssana Meditation

But we need much more to combat the evil and corrupt forces which desire to see our coils grow cold and extinguished forever. The much-misguided Dr Semuabanmaniam and his henchman Hitmi Buaya are working their fiendish plot with demoniacal fevor!

Speaking for myself, I don't even bother applying low heat to Ti coils. Clean the wire with some isopropyl alcohol before making a coil. Spaced Ti coils allows more accurate measurement of resistance by the mod, and are slower to gunk up compared to tight coils. Just install it, wick n juice it and vape away. Be warned: Ti is very springy and harder to work with than other coil wires.

Oh misinformed and disgruntled one...we eschew the trappings and false wrappings of trustfire and efest. Those be the tools of deviant sects. Were you misled by such cylinders of shame? Harken to the true energy of LG Chem!

Whoever told u that, please apply a Hammer mod (use a clone, it's cheaper) with judicious force to the back of his head!

The Sony sun has long set into the sea with a small sizzle. Thou art chanting fruitless hymns to a dead deity, oh misguided one. Beware the salvaged and recycled rewrapped ones. Don't vent...repent!

Some wires will initially turn a blue/purple when first pulsed. Unless u need to pinch a coil to make it tighter, and/or want to burn off any coatings/machine oil from a new wire, or want to clean a gunky coil (except for Ti wire), the color purple is of no significance vis-a-vis burning. Nor is it a prerequisite to usage.

No idea about shah alam...but vape shops in SS15 carry them. However some places can charge a very high price (RM55-60 for 10m!)

Online prices are dropping though...suggest u look at Lelong.com.my
