Funny that I intended for it to be sure with the AL85 lol. Thankfully it still matches perfect with the Nano.

As for the AL85, seems that returning it isn't an option (Shopee arguing that it's not that it DOESN'T work, it just doesn't work RIGHT... so no return). So off it goes to my non-TC Dad as an early birthday present.

In other news, I ordered the Wismec/Myvapor Myjet off a random local seller site just because I simply can't resist tiny stealth mods. Price was nice too, like just 10 bucks extra off the Myvapors MSRP.



I mean just look at it. It's TINY.

Plus it's refillable and rewickable (with a little modding), which is more I could say for most other PodMods, even the iCare.

Considering my propensity for tiny Mods, I actually have an iCare myself lol, though it's been stewing in juice for a bit due to leaking so I'm not even sure if it still works.

It should serve as a good point of reference though, at least physically. I'll post some quick impressions once I get it but a full review will have to wait until I get back from Japan (again) next next week.

Now, anybody know where I can get a 24-48mg Nic salts based liquid locally? I've got some 12mg Kilo juice on order along with the Myjet to start with (as it was on sale for peanuts), but I doubt 12mg is gonna cut it for the quick hard hits I'm gonna need with the the tiny stick.

A bit on the big side, the Solo, so maybe no. I already have the Nugget for Emergencies (and the VTC for "normal" backup purposes) so I'm pretty much covered.

The MyJet is for those "special" locations where you need a very, very inconspicuous device, like airports.

Interestingly the MyJet was actually announced along with a 18650 powered PCC (case/charger). That said, it's been months and that PCC is nowhere to be found, except on some forum posts.

Easy, properly cased batteries (and AIOs like the iCare/MyJet) in carry-on, mods in check-in. At least that's what I did in December last year (also to Japan) and that's what I'm planning to do this time around.

Juices with nic in it are subject to a 120ml max limit going into Japan (for personal use), though last time I rebottled all my Lava Flow into inconspicuous Muji 50ml bottles and mass printed proper "Strawberry Essential Oil" labels for all of them (real proper looking labels with ingredients and stuff) simply as I thought I was going to need a little bit more than 120ml. Then I stuffed the multiple bottles all over my check-in.

That said, I sailed right through customs anyway without having to open anything so it was kinda pointless.

To be fair, that particular piece of Customs regs is meant to stop people from importing in "sellable" amounts of nic-ed juice, so I don't think JP Customs is gonna look your way anyway unless you're carrying an entire bag filled with juice in the first place.

markypcs The MyJet comes with either single-use, self-fillable pods, or single-use, factory filled pods. I got the express pack with 2 empty self-fillable pods.

For the self-fillable ones, you fill them up once with your own juice, and then throw the whole pod assembly away once finished... or at least that's how it was MEANT to work.

However, with some slight modifications, the self-fillable pods can EASILY be converted into an actual 'refillable" pods. PLUS, if you don't mind a little bit more DIY on top of that, you can even re-wick it with your own cotton and extend the lifetime of the pods even further.

Actually, the Juul pods are refillable too, though you're gonna need proper nic-salted juice to get the same hit as the OEM Juul juice... like Mr Salt-E juice, which is available from Gaslight Vapor Supply Co (and ONLY Gaslight as of now).

Trying out 12 and 18mg juices for the MyJet first. See if it's "good enough" for super-stealth use. If not, I've gotta try ordering those nic-salt juice from Gaslight.

The biggest real difference is that extra 30-50W and 2A balanced charging (D200 only had 1A/2).

Otherwise it's just small improvements to the board. The mods are a different story however.

Personally I prefer the VT133 over the newer 167 simply as the 167 is needlessly bulky. HCig could have gone the Therion way and just made minor enhancements but nooooo, they had to macho up the 167 with bulk.

That said, the 167 does offer a lot of real improvements, like an actual metal battery sled (the VT133 one was plastic) and a more secure battery door (the VT133 one had to be pressed often to keep it tight).

Personally, all that + the extra 30W isn't enough of a reason for me to upgrade so I'm sticking with my 133. The 2A charging is nice though... but the 133 isn't my main ADV mod (it's my home dripper) so I don't really have a need for faster charging.

Nope. Totally cannot bring in, personal use or otherwise.

Hence, sila get creative with your Han Solo smuggling techniques, while keeping in mind that once spotted, bungkus.

This was what I did back in my Vapage Vmod V2 Mini days. Carry extra bottles with juice in them. Thankfully the Vapage squonk bottles DID come with caps, BUT they were EXTREMELY fragile around the neck area and used to split in half a lot... often in mid-squonk.

Hopefully the Pico Squeeze bottles are better made or it's gonna get very messy, very fast.

Ehem... To quote Abam Andy, from some pages back:

So yeah. Picit picit nip... I mean bottles.

Funnily enough was actually talking about the Pico Squeeze too back then lol.

Bridge-less squonk atty lol. Kenangan zaman Vapage. Pakai n buang secukup rasa.

Though relatively effed up economy wise lol. Baik beli proper dripper.

Or carto tanks lol. Effectively MTL-SAHAJA OCC tanks.

Don't even have to, try mesh with a 'Cado. It's effectively a Genny pun lol, though it's gonna be a bit of a pain coiling as it's adapted for cotton. Maybe a U-shaped mesh build?

Anyway, the Myjet is here.



Initial thoughts: it's about the size of a Cohiba Robustos cigar (aka, tiny). Not quite Kr808 tiny, but the iCare feels huge against this tiny thing.

No wonder the Juul was such a hit.

The Myjet is probably small enough (and light enough) to be vaped hands free too, much like the Juul.

Done with the refill "mod" already, now waiting for it to fully charge. I wonder where I can order more empty pods for the thing, as the seller I bought it from was fresh out of pods.

Also, you can pre-fill up a spare pod as backup as it comes with all the silicone plugs to keep the pod from leaking. Well, in theory anyway.

Jgnler abam ekudz. You are the best TS.

Anyway, baru sampai KIX with my little stealthy little bro:



Not doing something dumb like Vaping on the train, don't worry lol. That said, I filled it with The Lab #13 in 18MG for "in-between" purposes, it was quite decent for something so small.

Though it would prolly hit better with some 48MG nicsalts juice, though considering just how hard those are to get, the 18 does just fine.

Keep in mind Pico build is as it's priced, as in its pretty weak against even minor liquid ingress. Mine barely lasted a year before liquid killed the firing button and the leakiest of my tanks wasn't even THAT bad.

And guess what, I ended up with a Nano in the end anyway lol.

Plus, that the Pico 510 is pretty suspect as well.

So with those "flaws" taken into consideration I'd say it's pretty comparable to the VT75 Nano "as is", with just the price/performance difference separating them.

So yeah, pick your poison. Having to be careful of liquid ingress (Pico) or screwing down your battery cap (Nano). Keep in mind the price difference buys you the consistency of DNA power delivery, even in wattage mode (TC even more so), which is pretty worth the extra in my book.

That said, for the price, it's pretty hard to top the Pico for what it can do.

As a final note, I really do think that the Nano battery cap "thing" is pretty much luck of the draw rather than an absolute. Mine's not bad at all (especially with liberal use of Noalox)... just need to be careful not to cross thread it in a bout of impatience, simply due to the stupidly thin threads.

Can't feel the hit means your nic intake was insufficient. Up your nic or up your coils.

Personally I only managed to stop the stinkies all those years ago (in exchange for Vaping) thanks to 12mg on a single coil. And that's "true" 12mg mind you... way back then even local brewers don't screw you over on nic. Nowadays not so much.

Currently on 6mg (US stuff) and dual coils with lung hits. Feels pretty similar to 12mg singles with MTL, though at the cost of added vapor production (you don't always want to be conspicuous) and corresponding use of juice.

The stuff that give you creamy taste often gunk quickly. Plus the added sweeteners to make it sweet, as creamy flavour essences aren't always sweet as well. Fruity juices, in comparison, are often sweet by nature, though people tend to dump extra sweeteners into fruit juices anyway for some unknown reason.

Naked juices use very little "unneeded" additives and/or sweeteners, as that's supposedly their main claim to fame. Thus the reduced gunking. Well, I only really vape Naked stuff nowadays anyway, so I don't really have a frame of reference any more, but my wicks DO tend to last a while, with a month being my current average.

But yeah, a smaller chamber WILL have less airflow and thus the coils are insufficiently cooled, which leads to even worse gunking... but that's the price to pay for the pursuit of flavour I guess.

Of you don't mind lung inhales AND not being able to use your own 510 tips (the bit you suck on), it's fine. I skipped one way back when when simply coz it wasn't a 22mm atty and couldn't fit my ADV mod back then (the Pico). The fancy ceramic inner cup was interesting though.

And now I'm more of a GMv3 guy anyway, so never thought of checking it out again. That said, 20 (if it really is just 20) is a VERY good price for an authentic Moradin mini, especially as it's turning out to be pretty "matchy matchy" with the yellow Nano.

Anyways, welcome to the Nano club bro. Have fun, though do go through some tutorial Yutiub videos first if you have ANY intention to tinker with eScribe later, or otherwise it might just overwhelm you.

On a slightly related note, I'm loving the battery life I'm getting with these Sonys on the Nano (rocking V6s). Sure I'm only Vaping when there's a smoking area over here (and while there are plenty of those, they're kinda well spaced out), so that might be helping lol.

True that. Cheap though, Moradin not selling maybe.

We can't? My batteries all sampai safely jer from GB within a week. And this is just a fortnight ago.

That said, I don't know if the rules changed AGAIN recently. So yeah.

For local sellers, there's that guy selling the Sammy 30Q Pinkies in Lazada and a shop selling VTC6s in Shopee... both slighly over GB prices but "local" at least.

If you want something "more power" than the Chocos then get the Sammy 30Q aka Pinkies. They're rated by Abam Mooch for higher continuous drain compared to the VTC6s (and get hot a lot less than the Chocos) and are slightly cheaper "locally".

Theres also the VTC5 with an even better CDR but less capacity (2600 vs the Pinkies' 3000). It's a lot easier to find locally though authenticity is a bit of an issue (fake VTCs are a "thing" unfortunately).

Myself I got the VTC6s for my Nano simply because I like to separate my batteries according to Mods and I already run Pinkies on my VT133. Otherwise I would have gotten Pinkies for my Nano for sure.

I think Chocos, especially the current Grade C batch we're getting nowadays, do run a little hotter than VTCs and Pinkies on average when pushed a tad on the hard side. And heat is never good whenever a Lion cell is involved as it often increases the rate of degradation (aka make them die faster).

However, it's not THAT bad and Chocos still have the distinction of being bloody cheap, even locally, so it pretty much depends.

And I can concur that my own VTC6s from GB have been performing up to par so far, at least from my non-expert observations, and look pretty authentic to me as far as the marking goes.

You can always go straight to Illumn.com if you want COMPEM ORI batts but then shipping is gonna be COMPEM MAHALZ.

Ehhhhh? That shouldn't be how it is. Try on a different tank to confirm but it shouldn't taste like sirap ros.

Anyway, anybody interested in Black coloured ori VT75 Nano Silicone Sleeves?

I got the Blacks along with the Red-Black ones coz wasn't sure if I would like the actual pattern on the RB. Turns out that the RB patterns were not bad, so now I have TWO Black Nano sleeves to sell off.

Selling 'em off at RM10 each, shipped (market is RM20 IINM). Do PM me if interested.

Also, THIS, taken from one of the discussion threads on that very FT page:


Remember there's voltage sag to deal with too, not just nominal capacity.

Hence my preference to stay with the 3k Trinity of Chocos/Pinkies/VTC6 with their higher CDR ratings (and thus lower VS at higher drain levels). If you don't Vape past 30w it shouldn't be an issue though.
