I tend to go for 3mm Aliens. I go with 27Awg stainless steel so i can use reply on my DNA devices. Quite big Juice wells in the violator unsure there would be enough cotton on a single 4mm although juice control actually works really well with the Violator

Nah, the cotton's not a problem with a single 4-4.5mm coil. In fact, I think it's more suited to a single coil setup, but that's me 
Saying that, I do have 3mm aliens in it right now.
Have you tried the QP Fatality M25?
Either way, vaping is so subjective. For example, I also like a bit of squonkery with an Asgard and and Asgard mini. The Nightmare 25 comes out and people say it's as good or better, but it ain't even close IMO. It might if it had the 'honeycomb' airflow of the Valhalla 28mm... Anyway, I digress

It's hard to say definitively because there are so many variables. Different airflow inserts, type of wire you use and how you like your vape.
The Violator gives you a lot of options to play with, so you ought to find a happy place either way.

I like me Asgard Mini not so keen on teh 30mm one though but then i love my 28mm Nightmare with a series build in it. Vaping is definately a matter of opinion type of thing.

Indeed
That's the trouble with making purchase decisions based on reviews. You have to find reviewers that you can be fairly sure have preferences in your general ballpark, and even then...Your Nightmare 28mm has the slotted airflow, right? Do you generally prefer a more airy vape?
Personally, I lean more towards a smooth, slightly restricted and dense kinda thing. The Nightmare 25 has decent flavour, but it was too airy for me.
I got multiple set ups at the moment, Liking my Ether Bridge on my Suicide mod which is a restricted Direct to lung and is my Type 2 RTA but i also like airy vapes when using some low ohm builds or a series build. nightmare is slotted airflow and a little turbulent. Aspire are bring out a mod called Boxx any day now which has full on Boro tank compatibility (including drip tips so looking forward to that as that will be a restricted direct to lung vape i should imagine. Only thing i really cannot get into is Direct to lung. I thought when i gave u the stinky stiks i would save money but buying vape gear is addictive. My non vaping friends do not seem to understand how teh same juice can taste different in different set upsIndeed

Now that we can't sell vaping products on Ebay unless we are a buisness is there anywhere else we can sell them? No point trying on dedicated vape forums as nobody is going to buy something from someone who has just signed up with the only interest being selling stuff. The reason I ask is that my wife, pain in the butt she is has been trying out various pod systems and finally settled on a couple which leaves me with three pod systems, two of which have had no more than a dozen puffs if even that much, plus spare coils and tanks for each and nowhere to sell them on. I suppose I could try Gumtree but as soon as I usually list something on there I start getting loads of spam.
Looking for advice from you knowledgable lot
Missus & I both use the disposable Vype/Vuse system, which works well other than the cost, we go through a cartridge a day, so £7+ a day in cost
Can anyone recommend a refillable vaping product - most important aspect is size, must fit into a pocket (current ePen is 121 mm x 26 mm x 12 mm).
Really appreciate any advice, thanks!

Uwell Caliburn G with 0.8ohm coils.
Great pull, lovely size, 2ml tank that can be replaced if needed. Coils last about a week due to size but a pack of 4 only cost £8.
Lovely pen, I've been through loads of different vapes for years and this one is perfect, the draw is amazing. I also recommend using nicotine salt liquids - just juice are good quality.

That's really helpful, thanks.
One (probably really stupid) question - what determines the amount of 'smoke' produced?
A few things. Coil resistance + power used and also the size of the air flow. These types of devices are mainly Mouth to Lung (as opposed to Direct to Lung). Mouth to lung more closley resembles smoking and airflow will normally be 1mm (ish) resistanc of coil approx 1ohm and power sub 20watts. There are exceptions but these is general.
My beloved Eleaf Invoke has finally died and I'm struggling to find an alternative. Wish I'd bought a couple of spares TBH.
I want a dual 18650 mod and it needs to be similar in size to the Invoke. Any thoughts?
I'm using a Smok R-Kiss at the moment which is pretty small but the buttons drive me mad. Single click does 0.1W on the power buttons. Hold to do 1W but after 1 second it does 10W! Also it's uncomfotable to hold due to the square edges.

I use a geek vape aegis x, dual 18650 battery its a fair bit chunkier though.
What Wattage you like to vape at, whats your budget and what you gonna put on top of it?
I vape a Nuchaku2 tank, 0.2 ohm coils at 55W. Sometimes I use an Obs Engine 2 at 60 to 80W.
Budget is whatever it costs. I'd prefer not to spend north of £60 but will for the right mod. I don't use TC or anything so don't care about that. Just a simple wattage vaper these days.
If you went for a single battery 21700 than the Odin mini would be good, Any DNA device, i like the Thelema but that is north of £60 but really good. Else the Drag X is a good buy. I have all 3 of these and you cannot go wrong. Oh or Odin 200 but that is dual 21700. The 2 non Odin devices are dual 18650
Arrived today, perfect size, works really nice - my own gripe is it doesn't have an auto-power-off after so many minutes!
