Where do you find VTC5A locally?

How much are you selling it for bro

Your only worry would be the nicotine, if it's stored away from sunlight (in a dark place away from heat) you should still be able to vape it.
If those are creamy juices, I'd still try it.. Maybe the steep improved the flavors

Honestly, the longest I'd keep my own juices is 1+ year as well.

If you want something small, definitely go for a single 18650 mod.

Do you use TC or only power mode?

I know this is way off your budget, but it's one of the sleekest single 18650 DNA75 you can find in the market with solid build quality.

One that is within your budget would be:
Vapedroid C1D2, the only flaw for that device is that the rubber finish might peel off over time.
Lavabox M, a little bit bigger however very light
SMY SDNA75, small and pocket-friendly, however, I read that the QC is incredibly inconsistent

Non-DNA:
Evic Vtwo Mini with ArcticFox - one device that is proven


You could go with Yihi chips as well, unfortunately I'm not very familiar with Yihi devices so can't recommend any.

Hope this helps

You mean the HCigar Nano? True, there are tons of single 18650 DNA 75 mods out there but I've not really looked at HCigar because I personally don't like the design on it. Too flashy.


Actually when I first saw the Epetite I almost copped it online, but I suppressed my impulse purchase kick and waited till I got the chance to check it out in a brick and mortar.
It's quite weird to hold no? Because of the form factor, I completely agree with you tho. The EPetite is one classy mod.

Great beater mod for out and about, only fits 22mm tank.
Flash it with ArcticFox (aka poor man's DNA) if you'd like to tinker around.

The iCare Solo is compatible with iCare coil heads? I have a few extra coil heads.

If can, PM me what colors you have and price

Woah 8 Kimechs?

Love my pico squeeze too, it's my all day mod + Armor.
I really hope bigger manufacturers (Smok, Eleaf, Wotofo) set their eyes on squonking and release squonk mods at reasonable prices. Our options are limited, unless money isn't a problem.

Yeah, basically I want more squonk mods in the market hahah, that's all I vape now. Dripper flavor with the convenience of a tank + portable too.

Let me know how the Kimech performs!

Hey man, from what I've read so far. Vaping pure VG/PG with nicotine does not cause any health issues, what researchers are now looking into are the flavorings used and how it might or might not have long term effects on our body.

Then again, like what a lot of people say, I believe it is safer than smoking cigarettes.

As for your question, the only disadvantage of using clapton coils is that it requires more power to fire up and hence shorten your battery life.
However, if you're the sort that don't wick and clean/change coils often, the coils will gunk up and turn black. Just looking at it, I don't think that's very safe to vape.

Just my two cents.

Pico Squeeze is semi regulated so there are some safety precautions built in, for example it is capped at only 50W.
Anyway, I like to squonk with a 0.50 ohm build in a small 22mm RDA.. So in terms of safety, I don't worry too much about it.

No doubt the Kimech performs well, honestly though, I don't quite like the positioning of the fire button.
I'll wait for more squonkers to be available on the market and invest in one I really like.

There's also the S-Body Mini Torch V3 DNA60, I remember seeing it in VapeBoss Solaris a couple days ago. It's tiny.

How's the juice consumption on the Reload RTA anyway? Only dual coil options on it right?

I prefer to use a single coil in my Merlin. Dual coil just drinks juice too fast for me.

What I found works best is a spaced 26g kanthal 3mm inner diameter approx 6/7 wraps, position it close to the airflow and make sure there's enough cotton.

Hey man, you've come to the right place.

100w-200w box mods are quite popular because the vape scene is catering to the cloudbroz market, so manufacturers are just following the demand.
Some people who vape between 10W-50W for example sometimes get 100w-200w box mods because of the battery life.

Me personally, I vape around 30W and I prefer portability over anything else. So a single 18650 battery mod is more than enough for my day to day.

Well, there are a lot of options out there, so let me ask you a few questions so that we can filter out and narrow your choices down to a few.

1. Do you want a direct-to-lung (DTL) or mouth-to-lung (MTL - similar to a cig pull) setup?
2. Do you want an internal battery mod or are you okay with getting separate 18650 battery and charger?
- internal battery is easier to maintain, however if the battery dies, your mod goes with it too
- mods that take 18650 would most likely still work if your battery goes to shit, but you have to take good care of your batteries
3. Portability or battery life?
4. Do you want to build your own coils or buy OCC (pre-built coils that you can use and throw without the hassle of building your own coils)

Happy to help.

1. It does, sort of. MTL kits are usually a lot more portable because it doesn't drain battery life as fast as DTL setups. So I assume you're looking for a DTL setup
2. Okay, 18650 it is
3. If you're thinking of getting an unregulated box mod then you'll have to worry about parallel vs series (I don't recommend it for a beginner).
In a regulated setup, single 18650 mod usually caps you at 75W, 80W in some cases. However if you plan to vape at say 60W, you'd be swapping out batteries 2 or 3 times a day depending on how much a chain vaper you are. In my experience, my dual 18650 200W mod at 60-80W lasts me a day at the office.
4. Noted.

Dual battery box mods:
Smoant Battlestar 200W
Smoant Charon 218W

Tank:
OCC - Hassle free and reliable:
Tobeco SuperTank Mini

Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (RTA):
Single coil:
Wotofo Serpent Mini 22mm
Wotofo SMM - Bigger brother of the Serpent Mini


Dual coil:
Can someone that is more experienced recommend dual coil tanks?
I'm a single coil low wattage vape kaki, so my knowledge in this field not very good.


Batteries:
It is extremely important you get legit 18650 batteries, look out for clones out in the market.
Some trustable brands are LG, Sony, Samsung to name a few. Please refer to Mooch's (the battery guru) battery chart for more detailed info.

Battery charger:
XTAR is quite reliable, paging @Eiraku for some recommendations


If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

Yeah that's the reason I didn't recommend the Merlin Mini, sometimes I get a really good vape with it, and sometimes it just leaks like an open faucet

Man, you're heading towards a deep rabbit hole man.

There's so much to read and learn, and yeah, like Eiraku said.. Do not ride the hype train (unless you got the dough to do so).
I've been there, I've learned the hard way and my wallet suffered, and I can confidently say that a lot of kakis from this thread has been in the same situation
