***The Vapers Lounge*** 3.0

I really need to have a go at making my own coils. I've cheated so far by buying premade ones and running them on the rta for the cleito.

Want to try a Squonker to at some point but need to read up on them more as not seen any at my local vape shop yet.
 
G Priv mod with serpent mini 25mm tank, running a dual Chinese alien coil setup. Juice I'm currently vaping is the new nasty juice trap queen juice, strawberry with koolada and it's bloody awesome at 80watts.
 
On another note looks like ft have discontinued the serpent mini 25mm in silver.

Sucks as I was looking to get the silver to go with my black serpent mini :/.

rx 2/3 with tfv8 as the outdoor carry, currently got a simple but marvelously effective 26/32 clapton pair in there

indoor is the istick pico with serpent mini, 5 wrap of the same 26/32, works but eats wicks faster than i'd like
 
Well the serpent rdta looks to be a hit, might as well grab one before they all go out of stock.

Wotofo are really smashing it at the moment,

One of the best RDAs - troll v2
One of the best RTA's - serpent mini series
One of the best GTA's - troll RTA
One of the best RDTA's - serpent rdta?

Not a single one over £30 either, well done wotofo :)

Dont have a troll rta/serpent rdta but i agree with this, their quality is amazing some really nice machining work with smooth thread engagement and simple but effective design. These guys plainly know their stuff.
 
OK guys so you might as well start calling me the dunce of the thread :). Basically I broke the tank on my vaper by threading it and it was impossible to get the lid off the tank to fill it up again. We went to the local vape shop for some advice and before I bought anything new I wanted to see what you guys said. For reference this was my old vape unit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgAGXm-dBAg

basically I'd like the following features in my new vaper:

USB charging (should be able to vape while charging) either that or one with batteries that I can buy say 4 batteries and have 2 on charge at a time
Big tank that I can easily replace with another one if I break it again
Relatively simple mod that isn't designed for experts
Easy to find coils for the tank and easy to replace
Easy to fill up the tank without the risk of threading it again

Just one question though what does RDA/RTA stand for? If you guys could recommend a full kit that meets those requirements I would be eternally grateful :). I have a budget of about £100 for everything. I could go a bit higher but £100 would be about perfect.

Edit: Oh I currently have 60/40 liquid if that makes any difference. Also are there any vaping YouTube channels I should check out for beginners?
 
We were all there once man.

Rda= rebuildable dripping atomiser, basically a bucket with 2 posts for coils and no tank, they're not really pocket freindly but offer clouds and flavour in spades and generally easy to build coils for

Rta= rebuildable tank atomiser, basically any tank that exclusively requires you to build your own coils, many normal tanks can have an rba which is a unit that replaces the coil that converts it to an rta, although not quite as good as a dedicated unit. Rta's are slightly harder to wick than an rda but are great when you get it right

Mod wise i'll confess to liking this istick pico, itll do usb charging and as a single batt mod balancing isnt a massive issue, plus you can swap out if needed. This is ofc for the sub 75w range. For bigger stuff/longer battery life i'm using an rx2/3 which is my "power anything" mod, but not something you want to carry in your jeans pocket.

For easy top fill with readily available coils i like the smok series, have a tfv4 mini (would fit nicely on the pico) and a tfv8 (too big for the pico, matches the rx ok) and both are decent, although i've had a run of bad coils recently that pushed me to switch to using the rba on the v8.

My advice, if your not already thinking it yourself, Is get a big mod and big tank as your primary daily vape, and get another smaller setup as a backup. Stay away from built in battery mods, sure theyre handy but the battery dies and your screwed
 
Ordered the Troll V2 25mm from Fasttech, 10 premade juggernaut coils and a DIY tool kit with the coil tester thing included for £15 from Gearbest (what a bargain imo)

Do you mouth to lung or direct to lung vape?

Pico or vtwo mini for the mod, pair it with a 30q/he2/vtc6 cell and your good to go!

The only dumb questions are the ones you don't ask :)

Thank you for the reply :). So if I got a Smok tfv8 which looks nice and big and paired it with rx3 that would be a good set up then? Do I just buy a pack of coils to go with it? When I got my last vaper I just bought a pack of 5 coils thinking it would last long enough to use it. I guess I can do the same with this. Where do you actually get your hardware from? I've been looking at Vape Choice but they don't seem to have everything that you have mentioned.

Thanks for the reply :). The pico seems popular then. You are the second person to mention it but I can't find it on Vape Choice. Just wondering what the best place to get vape hardware is really. There are so many places selling vaping stuff I don't know what is good or not.

I use ukecig store for the majority of mods/tanks, probably not the cheapest but i cba buying from 15 different shops.

Tfv8 has a whole ton of different coils you can choose, although the "quad" coils (basically a single vertival coil, but 2 twisted pairs in instead of one coil) and the "octo" coils (4 vertical coils with a twisted pair each) are the most common and you get one each and an rba with the tank.

You get the coils in packs of 3, theyre expensive and when you see the size of them you'll know why.

Please bear in mind this is a cloud chucking direct lung setup, so its advised not to use more than 6mg juice, and be prepared this will drink juice like crazy. Coil life depends on the juice you use, can be as low as a day with "premium" american juices or as long as several months with a clean juice and a good coil.

The rx takes 3 batteries, and i can get a day ok with good batteries on the v8, much longer with a smaller tank. If you go for the rx 2/3 you can switch to 2 batteries (changes max wattage) for a bit smaller a package but obviously make sure you keep your batteries as matched pairs/trios and have a good reputable 4 bay charger.

I know this isn't what you recommended but it is available I think in my local vape shop so I won't have to wait for it to be delivered. What do you think of this? I won't be carrying it around with me. I'll just be using it when I am at my computer. I'll probably have to buy 8 batteries for it which would be expensive but it looks like it has everything I would need.

Thats a beastly looking mod, i've seen a few quad batt mods at the local and you defo wouldnt need to be carrying that around. Its defo overkill to power a tfv8 (or anything else for that matter unlesss your crazy) but you'll at least have some hefty battery life.

Cant speak for the longevity of it though, pgi's the man for this sort of reccomendation.
 
I have a few Smok mods and the build quality is good, might be better picking up something smaller though, 300W is a bit excessive but if you are just using it at home!! they will probably stock the Alien or G/H priv by Smok aswell, can get a full work day out of any of those and i pretty much chain vape the hour to and from work and go out for a few pulls throughout the day.
