***The Vapers Lounge*** 2.0

[pgi947]

I'm in exactly the same situation - ordered express next day which I paid for, order is on hold and has been since late Tuesday night, no tracking information at all

Just sent them a message using their contact form. Might give them a ring in a minute and see if anyone's there.

Famous last words, literally just had an email come in from them - apparently my Paypal payment went through as an e-cheque, Paypal also now tell vendors not to send an item until the e-cheque has cleared. I had no idea it was going through as an e-cheque

Money is showing as gone via Paypal from my bank account, but still shows as pending on Paypal's site. Hey ho, guess that explains it. No vape mail for me till next week

Fortunately my order seems to have arrived next day (yesterday) as I had a missed delivery slip when I got home from work, going to pick it up tomorrow. Still doesn't explain the apparent lack of tracking information though.

I'm going through a liquid experimentation stage at the moment, starting to think I need something with higher vg, finding even 50/50 pg/vg 6mg harsh on my throat with these sub tanks. Any recommendations? Looking for 60+vg, willing to try most flavours atm

So far I think its brilliant, mate. Very small in my pocket with Nautilus mini attached, it doesn't feel much larger than my 18350 mechs! Here is a pic to give some sense of scale...

Spoiler

18650, Nemesis Mech 18350 KFL nano, Cloupor mini, VS DNA40, Sigelei 150w & MVP2

Awesome, thanks kablooey, they look great.

I'll be pairing it with a derringer, so it'll be looking tiny which is exactly what I'm after!

you guys are bad... I'm tempted to order a cloupor mini now..
but I have my mind set on the next two mods

What's your guys opinion on wooden box mods? I seem like the only person that don't like them.

At £20 delivered, as an out and about mod, why not?

Wooden box mods of what I've owned;

- Slug, traded it the day after I got it. Wasn't a fan of the way you needed to fire it.
- Tank crossing mod - Can't help but feel this mod would be better if it was in series. The fire button wasn't that smooth and the 510 needed wiggling a little to get it to fire sometimes. Probably just my one that had the issue (v1) but soon traded that on (obviously letting the chap know what problems I had!)

Your VV/VW Hana's/Smok/Cloupor/iStick etc is where it's at.

This is what I'm thinking about... Ain't going to be cheap but I've exchanged a few messages with a B&M that's know to stock that maker's mod..

Tried out the Mutation X v3 at the pub tonight. My wire doesn't arrive in the post until tomorrow, but managed to get a length off a mate. Only ran the one coil, but MY GOD! The airflow was amazing - was like hitting a smooth bong, and the clouds.... well, that was like an aerial orgasm moving across The Red Lion.

Happy doesn't begin to describe it - needless to say, this is an indoor RBA, as I can't take it with me in public, or people will think I'm mad! And that's only at 45w @ .5ohm! Can't wait to try higher wattage with less resistance!

Have only tried 6mg Venus, by Space Jam, but I can tell already that when dripping I need some 3mg juice.

I'm as happy as Larry (however happy he is)!

Slinxy's Project: ????

Right, with April coming up and a new annual leave calendar starting, I'm going to make my own mod.

The whole idea is to get dual 18650s running in parallel into a small case, the one I've picked is slightly bigger than a vaporshark rdna 40, but with all the luxuries of using a full size mod, like having a full 22mm fdv 510, a large AV switch, it's own charging and all powered by an Evolv DNA 25. As I'm aiming for extreme battery life rather than power monster.

The parts I've selected are as follows:

Spoiler

The budget is £100 pounds, There are some extra parts like magnets that I've not ordered yet and I do plan to vinyl wrap the door panel with a custom logo (cos I'm a tart) once it's finished.

I've ordered two cases as I expect to mess up cutting the first, I also need the extra plastics to mount the components inside the case and to hide the workings expect for batteries. It's going to be white plastics, as white hide scratches and finger prints better than black. hot glue dries white and I had loads of white electric tape to cover up my mistakes. OCD will make me try to make the inside as tidy as a possible.

I've worked with plastics before but I think I can get a much better finish than I ever will with metal. I wish I have access to a 3d printer or CAD skills to design the case and get it printed off, it would make this a whole lot easier.

This is my first project, and I know I'm aiming high.. but this will be a one off as the only reason why I'm building it is cause there's nothing on the market that does this; what I want, else I try buying it rather than making it and like anything; I have ideas on improving it already that I'm not going to place in this one.

The next update on the project will be when the parts come, I've TWOC'd some ideas from other mod makers and come up with one or two of my own to make it all fit inside the case, if not I can lose a battery which I don't really want to do or get the bigger case. But if all goes well it will be different on the inside, which I keep hush about for now in case some one from FT is reading this and I don't want too much egg on my face.

Wish me luck.. I'm going to need it..

It's a working project concept at the moment (not mine.. lol) and not yet in production; well that's what vendor tells me. But the mod maker does make mods in high numbers when compared to other mod makers and all there stuff that they released so far has been high quality else I wouldn't want to pre-order myself.

No official Normally a mod like this would set you back $450-$900 dollars, but that's normally handmade and waiting list BS, and with this being machine made (guess), I would be happy to pay around the £250-£300 mark aka VF price range.

Don't worry, I will tell you if it does come out and to the UK vendor, let me order mine first.. lol.. or your google fu might beat me to it.

 

[UKDTweak]

Slinxy, looking forward to seeing your mod project, at 51mm wide, it's going to be Very tight getting 2x 18650 and a dna chip in, not to mention a 22mm 510, mines 55mm wide and it was tighter than a nuns never used area... Good luck with it and keep us posted.

 

[Rilot]

I dug out my Kayfun last night, coiled it, wicked it and vaped it. My god, it works and doesn't make me wheeze even with 50:50! Since dropping my nic to 6mg I can now use devices that made me wheeze like crazy before.
I just wish I'd known over a year ago as I wouldn't have been stuck with flipping Protanks for so long.
Yes, I know I posted my lack of wheezing before but I'm just so happy about it.

 

[pgi947]

How's this for irony...

On route to the PO to pick up my 50w istick, stopped of for some breakfast on the way. Getting back in the car I decided to have a quick puff with my 30w istick....nothing. won't turn on, anything, got home and plugged it in, still nothing, it's completely dead after around 6 weeks of use I hope the 50w lasts a bit longer.

That's an insane amount to pay for a mod!

Was talking to a guy at work who smokes and he has paid much interest in vaping, to that end I'm going to get him started up in the next couple of weeks.

He asked me about the costs, I started off with well this style would cost $150 dollars etc etc, to which his jaw dropped. I then swiftly moved onto the costs of clones and in particular places like FT and it was all smiles again!

Todays project for me was to cure vapers tongue.

So far its working, iv sticked to just one flavour (vanilla custard) and I can still taste it! its not dry or anything I can still taste flavour.

I think its because I was trying so many different flavours, my tongue cant do with it, so im giving up on the different flavour trying because I like vanilla custard, just gonna stick to vanilla custards from now on

Also, built a fairly modest 0.3ohm build in my mutation X's instead of the 0.1 ohm builds in my airek, and using less air flow, feels weird not chucking clouds as big but etleast im enjoying it more again now well the flavour that is, rather than being constant vapour tongued.

I know I'm pushing it with the size limits, but I have a few tricks in my pockets to make it fit, hence why I have gone for the battery clips rather than the keystone battery holder. I seen a photo of the inside of the case and a single 18650, it will fit another 18650 inside with issues and I have paid for the smallest end profile fdv and av switch, until I get the case and seeing if I like the form factor, laying all the parts in the case... I'm just hoping my hair brain plans comes together. Lol

I could always get the next size up case, move to a lipo batteries, lose a battery or even get the Panasonic 18650s that's can be reformed into another shape but I'm aiming for normal (as it gets) swappable dual 18650s. I just need to keep the wiring as small and clean as possible..

If it all messes up I just get that hana case kit, but I'm hoping for something special here.

Quick question about your builds.. Did you just hot glue your switches and screen/chip into place?

That's an insane amount to pay for a mod!

It is insane.. But a new SX zero authenic will set you back $1000, once you add on the p&p, paypal and custom fees now that's crazy.. Lol

I guess people are getting them as work of arts and not just a nicotine delivery device.. Like I said, I don't think this is hand made so I'm hopeful to be shocked by the price..

Drink plenty of water and eat something to wake up the tastebuds like pickled onions. Going to 0.3 from 0.1 will give a bit more flavour as well. I would say that its not even vapers tounge at 0.1 and mor elike you just sacrificing flavour for clouds

Naa... He just needs crab juice; that will sort him out.. Lol

 

[UKDTweak]

Well if you can do it with 2 your gonna have the smallest parallel dna40 going m8... fingers crossed.
my mods don't have any hot glue in them, i used superglue on the buttons and for the screen on my Hammond I made a holder from plastic and wood so the screen is actually technically lose in the mod, means if i need to remove it there will be no hastle or risk of damage as the screen cable can be easily broken.

 

[UKDTweak]

As for the sx zero style mod, you can buy a clone off ft and strip it down and put a real dna or sx chip in it, far cheaper and looks the same..
