How would you set up for cycling all day?

Say 10~12 hour outdoor, sweaty hands, body, with sun, rain and road dirt.

Cloud or flavor will not be as critical cos getting nicotine fix will over ride anything else when the crave hits.

Lets not limit ourselves with the latest, biggest, cutting edge gear. Anything that works.

Would a Mech mod more suitable? I fear regulated mod are not weatherproof...

I reckon stainless steel will be more reliable as knocking any dropping will be a norm. Leak proof Atty, simple.

Now I carry 20mg nic flavor juice just for riding.

I ride with my MegaVolt + O-Atty. That said, I don't really ride long distance, all weather so that's that. Though if I plan to I'll just ziploc my Mod and juice just in case.

And while reg Mods aren't really weatherproof, Mechs aren't either and water going into tube (which will happen) are a surefire (pun intended) way to short curcuit your batteries.

HOWEVER, it's admittedly much easier to put a few orings or pipe tape to help "seal" a mech tube then it is to completely gasket a reg mod so that's that. Also, with a 18350 mech +
a tiny topper (and a not too ambitious single coil build), you've got yourself a decent tiny mod for outdoor purposes.

Heck, a 18350 mech with a Taifun GT was my PRIMARY mod for the better part of 3 years lol:

As an alternative, there ARE reg Mods out there marketed to be "waterproof", though the veracity of such claims remain to be proved lol.

Finally, check out the Cync or MyJet. They're both really tiny, and with a decent 24mg juice (the pods are refillable) they should be fine for nic delivery, even if they would still need a ziploc as they're not waterproof per se. As a bonus though you can Vape either one WHILE riding thanks to their auto-switches.

Here's my Cync sandwiched between my other "main" Mods for comparison:

Ahhhh… zip lock, if all else fails, zip lock to the rescue smile.gif

18350 is definitely a good idea…
High ohm single coil seems inevitable to conserve battery andjuice.
Taifun GT look like a huge capacity. But carrying glass tank running around crips me…

From my not too extensive experience, not all Atty are thirsty, some 2ml tank can last longer than 4ml tanks… My serpent alto drinks a lot faster than my (now lost) le magister… are there other slow sipping Atty out there?

There are really very little storage space on a bicycle, will avoid spares and juice bottle if I could.

My Taifun GT had plastic tanks from the Nano kit (and no, that might look huge but it's just a 3-4ml cap tank). Heck even the in-box tanks were plastic lol, back then Pyrex was a relative luxury.

BTW the Magi should work well as it has that reservoir beneath the deck that pretty much works as a tank. Plus you already have experience coiling on it so it looks like the Magi is a good choice.

That said, spares are pretty much needed if the mod + tank itself is small. Going the 18350 route means you're gonna need spare batts. And unless you're packing a 10ml tank on top, a spare juice bottle (just take a 10-20ml bottle enough) is needed too.

So yeah, pros and cons.

As an alternative, fully charged and running at low wattage I THINK the MegaVolt should last for quite a while, especially paired with a decent build Magi. For water resistance you can always ziploc it.

Also, IINM there are some RTAs that actually come with metal tank sections, if that helps. I can't remember which though, maybe the DigiFlavor Pharaoh was one of them.

Battery life (AND getting decent batteries) would be an issue for that LPG. Plus the fact that it's a hybrid 510 so any leakage  from the bottom of your tank/atty will go straight to your battery.

I recommend a Caravela/King mod/ChiYu clone if you're still looking for a 350-capable mech. At least they're not a hybrid 510s, and they both come with 18500/18650 extensions as well.

Thanks for the heads up.
Do you mind explain hybrid 510? I am really confused.

Ok, a "normal" mech 510 kinda looks like this:

So it has a screw (usually adjustable) that "connects" your atty to the battery. If it leaks, the screw should contain it.

A hybrid looks like this:

In this case, your atty (tank/RDA) bottom connects directly to the battery. So yeah, any leaking goes straight to your batt.

Thanks for the heads up.

It's all very clear now smile.gif

Lets have a quick summary
Important considerations
1) 'normal' 510 connector to reduce juice ingestion.
2) extend battery life and reduce juice consumption by single coil low wattage build
3) tiny leak proof Atty.
4) tiny mod
5) Ziploc beg (or other waterproof method such as condom) is a must.
6) must be able to take physical abuse, eg, dropping, knocking, drop into pool, soak in sweat and rain.

Contradiction in size and capacity
1) 510 connector is larger than hybrid 510 by nature
2) small battery (18350) are lower mAh by nature, hence short battery life… 26650 has larger capacity but it is big in size as well

Pro for Mech mod
Low wattage high resistance build are safer in many ways
Will survive rain, splash and mud. A thorough clean up easy to bring it back to life unlike electronic laden regulated mod.
Can take impact, dropping… etc external force.

I agree any leak proof set up with a Ziploc bag or a plastic bag will be suffice. But what is the fun in paying any amount of money to fulfill our needs and wants tongue.gif

Won a Primis Mech mod for next to nothing, it's a bit big but it's light ABS plastic body with 510 connector. Square body means it won't roll around on a table.

Ordered a le zephyr from fast tech. I know le magister is leak proof with the correct wicking and le zephyr is suppose to be leak proof as well but it's also 1/2 the price. At under 4usd… Both has nothing to break smile.gif
Lets see if I can set up a knock around/ spare set up at under RM50.
If only I can find a Panasonic NCR for under RM 25…

If this work out, I may have 2 more of these smile.gif

Aik… now I need to look up for a cheap enough battery charger which is worth looking at...

Should be okay in theory. But I'd rethink the NCR if I were you, it's not really a true vape batt even if you build low. Get a Sammy 30Q or an HG2 if cap is what you want.

Also, in that plastic mod watch the bottom spring. If the bottom gets too hot then the spring is not doing its job properly and is in danger of deforming under heat. It might. even melt the case if it gets bad enough. Just something to keep in mind.

The square body is a boon though. Can't tell you how many times my old mech rolled off a table just to spite me lol.

Thanks for the heads up, will surely pay extra attention to the spring smile.gif

one of the reasons I had yet to use a tube mod is seeing them breakaway from their owners.

I have 2nd though about the NCR, it's will definitely bust my RM 50 budget. tongue.gif
Need to get a pair of HG2 from SonnyCool smile.gif

To meet the budget, might build a battery charger while I am at it.

And finally my Skyline rta from GB reach in Egypt already but still at custom lah. Bad news is..might have to pay 40% extra for tax due to vape accessories aiyaaa. Syukurlah our country takde tax macamnii 😭

What do you mean when you ask is clone safe or not? Poisonous? Become 1st human to die from vaping? Or income tax will come after you?

I mean, the clone mods. Is the chip safe to use? Tempted to get the sxk billet box, but iit's thhip also clone, seems dangerous eh? 😅 so far all my clone rtas serve me well haha

If scare, don buy ler. It's your money that you are spending. Do whatever you want!

Other than bateries, I use authentic clones, real clones and genuine clone. Nothing but clones tongue.gif

never kill me and never read about ppl got killed by clone vape gears. So if your "safe" is same as my "safe". If anything can die, its the mod just die quietly, no drama.

anyone used a vicino d30 before? or any of those mech style vw mods? Right now I just want a mod that looks like a provari or starter sticks.

I like those too. Simple and protected and don't have to pay for stuff we don't need…

mod size and battery life goes hand in hand.
With sub ohm, you may not get much going time with each full battery charge. Especially with built-in battery which you can not swap battery.

Resistance wires are not volatile, ecplosive or radioactive. Surely no one in the right mind will ban it.

If in doubt, don't do it!

Loosing sleep over it is just not worthy.

Most of the time it's not that the customers don't want to learn. It's because they do not have enough brain to learn. If I were to be the seller,i sure sembeleh these god sent fresh meat.

hi guys, newbie here.
any health disadvantages of using clapton coil instead of the original kanthal coil?

Get the free clapton coil together with the WOTOFO Serpent SMM Tank.

SMM + Vaporesso Nebula is superb. But i am abit worried on the health disadvantages on it.

Thanks all sifus.

If you worry about vaping, carry on with ciggerate la. Sure you will find ciggerate has all the health advantage over vaping.

Maybe, but health disadvantage? Surely no one with the right mind will think inhaling vapour is a path to immortality.

I vape nic "flavor" VG/PG solely. No gunk on coil for over a month. Cotton wick remain clean and white as if it is new… as long as you don't let it run dry.
Clapton may be made from kanthal wire too. so the health risk is the same.
Imho, anything that will gunk the foil are potentially unhealthy. But imho way less dangerous than ciggerate or BBQ smoke.
If you wish to replace ciggerate, try the nicotine "flavor" it's peppery taste and taste so much betterthan ciggerate.
