2021 - What Made It Into Your Daily Use .

Strange year, hadn't bought anything of note in about 2 years, gave up on DL vaping completely and was happy with my current mtl mods and tanks. Then around October I just started buying loads of new mods and tanks for some reason.

Tanks

BP Mods Pioneer MTL RTA - Got this off Bill here on boards. Hadn't done any research or read any reviews before so I had low/no expectations. Between this and the Dvarw they are my favourite tanks right now. Incredible flavour, especially with fruits which is what I mostly vape. 

Aspire Neeko - Another Bill purchase. Seems like most MTL RTAs in the last couple of years come with inserts or adjustable airflow under the coil. The Nico takes it to the next level with an insert that sits under the drip tip as well. Anyway it's a pretty good vape but nothing groundbreaking. 

Dvarw MTL FL 24 - Got this at a good price second hand as I couldn't bring myself to spend a lot of money on another high end tank after paying full price for the disappointing Kayfun lite 2019. It also came with the steam tuners top fill kit. At first glance I thought this was going to be tricky to wick but it's surprisingly easy, it's certainly unusual though. Gives a nice full flavourful vape. Being honest though I would be a bit let down if I had paid full price for this which is about €150 inc the steam tuners kit. Just confirms my belief that high end RTAs aren't worth the premium as you can get the same performance from much cheaper tanks.

Augvape Intake MTL RTA - I thought I was going to hate reverse direction screws on the build deck but they've been fine, still don't see the point though, seems like being different for the sake of it. As top airflow tanks go it's grand, gives a vape similar to the Expromizer V4

Hellvape MD MTL RTA - Disappointing mainly due to the airflow discs that are all too airy for mtl. Quite leaky too.

Wotofo STNG MTL RDA - My first and only mtl rda. Been using it with the Vandy Vape Pulse v2. Really enjoying it. Kinda wish there was an mtl squonk revival with some new mtl rda and rdtas.

Mods

Apsire Mixx - Picked up 2 of these I like it so much. Doesn't fit tanks with bubble glass, 22mm tanks don't look great on it and it's quite heavy for a single 18650 battery mod. Despite all this I just really like the form factor.

Dovpo Odin 100 - A lot bigger than I'm used to but great battery life as you'd expect from a 2x700 device.

Have several things on the slow boat from China due in January. Cthulhu AIO, Cthulhu Artemis, Vapefly Brunhilde, Bantam Box, Pioneer Insider. Seems like AIOs becoming really popular now so looking forward to see if they live up to the hype

I picked one up after reading this, and I have a second one on the way now already (for days/nights out, when one battery mightn't last). Fantastic little yoke. Boxes of RTAs and RDAs and stuff all being put aside here for now.

Samesies - 1.2 coil and lowest power. I didn't realise there was a 3ml tank - I'll order two now straight away! Cheers!

Btw how's the Wenax Stylus going for you? Have you gone back to your rebuildable vapes?

Colour me intrigued! Was searching for new pods and coils for my Novo4 [which I've never been entirely satisfied with, and the one pod I have got cracked] - and happened to check in here while I was at it - never heard of this pod [and I do much prefer replaceable coil types] but looks perfect for me for work - I do take my regular set up with me but gotta sneak out to grab a vape at times. I love having an mtl pod on me that works for a quick dive out back, puff, puff, no major waft behind me :D Might kust have to check this one out.

Trying to find one in Ireland that's not over-priced [inc delivery costs] is a bit of a pain. Irish sites in general have gotten greedy with the postage, it's still better value for me on the DIY side to buy from up north, shouldn't be this way :/ But for a pod like this I only need for work I want it to be cheap and cheerful, not the cost of a 'proper' mod. I'll keep looking though, looks ideal if I make up some 6-12mg juices - atm I'm using disposables for work, euro save shop has ones for €6 that last at least a few days [if using a main mod besides] and the pineapple-coconut one is pretty nice.

About a week. You'll defo have it for next weekend.

Let us know what you think of the stylus.

Stylus showed up today, can't fault 3-4 day delivery from Greece, quicker even seeing as I ordered it at night right before the weekend. My original orders are still bouncing around the an Post/Royal Mail network ffs.

Need to order some liquids now, the range in the shops around me wasn't too great. I'm looking for as cool as possible, that's where all my vape attempts have failed before, the vapour is just too fecking hot for me. I was told to focus on Nic salts in the 5-10 mg range of the menthol/ice blast variety. Any good recs in that line from the experts here?

Great to hear. If the throat hit is rough as you said maybe move up to 1 ohm or more. Salt nics with sub ohm would literally blast the head off me!

I've been buying vape juice from Liquidhall. They're based in Croatia but trustworthy.

What I do is buy 500ml of their "base" liquid, and just vape it. I'm not a fan of flavoured vape. Maybe a slight bit of mint but that's it.

The 500ml costs €30 including postage. What you get is 430ml of 0% nicotine, in a 500ml bottle. And a few bottles of 10ml 20mg strength bottles that you just dump into the bigger bottle to end up with 500mls of juice at 3mg strength. They also sell kits that end up at 6mg strength.

To buy 500ml of juice in Ireland would cost me €200. (€4 for a 10ml bottle in the shop).

Thanks Jackie, where do you buy your coils for the stylus? I only have 2 left and Im struggling to get them anywhere cheaper than a fiver each, cant trust deliveries from the UK these days, An Post just sends it all back. Looking for 0.6.

Only have the 1.2 ohms there at the moment, but they're only €1.50 at the moment, down from €3.

Good find. 1.2ohm is my usual choice.

Edit: FECK it anyway. They've only 1 left lol

These guys have coils.

3 euro each, but I just bought 10 of them and the price went down to 2.50 each. Postage is 4.50.

So including postage, cost me about 2.90 a coil. Not bad.

Geekvape G Coil for Aegis Pod|Ireland|Limerick|Nenagh|Kilkenny (alvini.ie)

No 0.6 ohm, has 0.8 ohm though. Not the worst, you'll get slightly better battery out of the 0.8 ones.

No idea, I have only ever used 1.2 ohm.
