Oh well, it happens. I'm a import juice bargain hunter myself so I understand the pain bro.

So far haven't been burned too bad though, as apparently even slightly out-of-date Naked juices still taste pretty on par, only slightly off. It becomes damn runny though.

Thankfully I haven't had many of those but it happens lol. Especially with bargains.

Funny we're talking Halo coz I just got myself some 24MG Halo Tribeca off VapeCon KL just now.

Was cheaper than Shopee prices so I can't resist. Gonna use it to fill up my tiny little MyJet for stealthing as 18mg takes a helluva long time to top up my nic on the tiny thing.

And yeah, that's about the only thing I got from VapeCon. Kinda telling isn't it?

It was interesting to eye stuff there though, and most of the Big Names like Sig-lie, SMOK and Tesla were represented (either through Distro resellers or by themselves).

There were a lot of deals on Mods and local juices, but import stuff was mostly (with exceptions, like the Halo juices) cheaper off Shopee lol. Also no Kendo booth anywhere (I might have missed them, but I did circle the Venue several times), which was strange.

I did manage to stop by the Mevta booth for updates on the local regulatory side of things. Had a good long chat with the rep, which was nice.

So yeah, it was ooookay but not really wow or anything if you aren't really looking to get new hardware. Will post up pics later for anyone interested.

Dar pictars as promised:



Spoilered to help those with limited bandwidth.

Theres Vape Con things have actually become pretty much PC Fair for Vape stuff nowadays: SOME deals to be had but mostly just fluff and hype. Especially when you're specifically looking for import juices... Other than that Halo place (which I'm pretty sure had SubZero on the shelf as well, at a great offer price), everything else was mostly beat by Shopee.

Mod and tank wise it wasn't so bad, at least from the big local retailers like VE and FazVapor, who were offering decent prices and attractive freebies. Local juices too. Also, like I said before, some of the Big Shenzen Names had huge lots all for themselves which was pretty awesome to look at, and even some of the smaller ones had booths too (though prices weren't all that good for either, FT/GB wins mostly). Finally, there were some interesting niche folks too like Wapari.

Heck, there was 1 TRUCK (see pic) and at least 4 Skyline R35s inside for advertising lol, which was a good indicator of the scale of things.

Personally, though, I feel like the previous Stadium Melawati one was sliiiiightly better dealz-wise, even if it was smaller and less BOOM.

Nah, threaten to raid oni it seems. As of now the Hall is still not open pending "discussions". Seems some NGO were less then happy with a Vape-Con polluting their beautiful Malaysia (sic) so they kasi lipot the Venue owners... who of course knee-jerked (this being Malaysia after all).

Buuuut, the Org isn't making it any better with the current lack of updates. So yeah.

Sib baik I went yesterday. That said, it's pretty unfortunate all around. Cue bad media coverage in three... two... one...

Velo recommendation seconded. I love mine. The Hastur has better hit and flavour though, but it leaks like a dog compared to my Tobac Velo II and lacks that magical indexed cap.

Thinking of going back to the Velo too, maybe slap a single clap on it and put it on my backup VTC for some ADV drippin.

Also, try GearBest if FT ain't treating you right. I haven't had much issue with GB so far, and prices CAN be better than FT if they're having a flash sale... though GB's base prices are somewhat higher most of the time.

Holy shiat such a good price for the Nano. Full black?

Yellow also okay wat. I'm particular about my colours so I had to skip when they had he full black on flash sale a month ago lol.

Tell me you grabbed the silicone cover along with it though? Even if you abhor silicone cases the Nano one isn't bad at all.

Awesome dude. Myself I'm actually in possession of a bit too many of the thingies right now lol. Got two black Nano covers I have no need for lol.

Talk about over-sparing.

Err, I'm under the impression that I've seen you before around here lol.

Besides, if that's an ori 'Vela, sungguhler tak newbie nye.

I still have my own old 'Vela around, primarily used as a "holder" for my old Fodi which I converted into a DNA battery analyser rig. It still works too, though I'm not quite sure that those 350s I have for it are still any good anymore.

I know VE has SS. But not sure about 24ga. Best call to check. Similarly VapeBoss in Solaris or Taman Megah.

Myself the spool of SS I got WITH my old 'Cado last year is still like 60% so I have no real reason to find more lol.

Coz pipels:

A) Don't know any better.
B) Don't care to know any better.

The (A) types isn't so much a problem as the (B) types though, as while they don't know, they don't mind learning. The (B) types, on the other hand, are a PITA. They DO exist though, especially amongst the more... ehem... senior (in age) vapers.

Also, Vape Education is not really something that most seller give a flying eff about, which is a shame. They just wanna sell their sheet and sell a lot of it, without taking the time to properly educate their buyers.

Lepas tu ada hati nak pung pang lepas business taper to nothing.

MOST sellers ah... Not all.

Most of the more... informative sellers seem to also be amongst the longer lasting, ironically enough.

He's probably referring more to people who don't know anything BUT khantal. To those purposely searching for khantal than it already falls into personal preference, which is relatively subjective already. Horses for courses.

I mean, I personally prefer SS for ANY juice, simply as I TC everything (and hate the taste of Ni or Ti), and adjust burn properties (preheat, temp etc) to suit juice being used and that's already good enough for me.

Even my drippers as TC helps tone down the devils underbush.

I don't think he was "looking down" or anything at khantal users per se really. He was just genuinely wondering why more sellers aren't stocking SS methinks.

And the reason is probably like I said previously, not a lot of people are bothering to teach about SS, and not a lot of people are bothered to learn lol. Enthusiast Vapers are still not the norm, most are simply Vaping due to ciggies naik harga and thus couldn't be bothered to explore new things.

In defence of real hard-core Enthusiast Vapers, they burn a LOT of different wires lol: Ni-Fe, Nichrome, different grades of SS, Khantal, Ni, Ti... as in reality different wire burns differently and are thus suited better for different flavours.

Myself, I'm more convenience based. A mass-market Hobbyist if you may. 316L SS cukup edi lol coz it's easier that way. Not that I haven't tried the rest, but I'm sticking to 316 and TC simply out of convenience.

Hence probably why I've been ADVing the same juice for nearly a year now. It's already "good enough" in my book already lol.
