I didn’t know vape shows were still a thing!

That’s so cool, I want to get a squonk. I just can’t justify spending the money rn though. I don’t do dual coils, but I love to tinker with RDAs, and it would be nice to be able to actually leave the house with a squonk and not worry about dripping. I could always get a single coil RDA I guess.

Yes not like they are in Europe where they can be huge conventions. In the states shows are usually take place in select cities where vape shops are expanding. Which doesn’t make since for Houston TX as most of the shops are more head shops than dedicated vape shops. These days they are considered Alternative culture shows spanning everything from CBD THC and Nicotine vape culture.

I tried to find future events near me this morning, no dice. Maybe I’m searching for the wrong thing.

Squonkers don’t have to be expensive. I happened to get the Azeroth dirt cheap because they were being discontinued. The RDA (Haku Venna) on it is single coil. There are some great single coil RDAs out there. Especially common for flavor testing. Less cotton to swap out between flavors.

I mean, they sent the wrong colour, BUT, for £0.95p i aint complaining, & tbh i did kinda think i wanted to order a clear cap after remembering how hot these little fuckers get, now im hoping they make the same mistake with the hadalys too so i dont have to order more,lol.
Edit - plus 5 days for a delivery from china to uk is brilliant when the estimate was may 27th.

Finally getting around to trying this Caliburn G2 I got for Xmas, pretty good wit the Milk and Honey! Although it took me a while to figure out how to fill the pod lol…

The bottom?

What % of M&H do you have in there?

That’s what I thought!, No it fills from the top but you have to pull the drip tip off but every time i tried the whole tank assy came out, had to google the instruction lol…

:flushed: I gotta play around with M&H more… so do you like the device? I’m trying to get my daughter off the disposables, and back to real vaping. She needs stealthy at work.

Try an oxva xlim, best pod device i have ever had & iv had most the top rated ones, xros, caliburns(g&a series), argus, puremax etc, the caliburn g series or the voopoo argus g2/p2 would be a close second though i think, the puremax are very good too but they leak & break so damn easy.

My wife, a big caliburn fan, has moved to the G3 lite and an Oxva Pro. Taste wise goes to the oxva slightly. Same sweetener free DIY juice in both, and pods last over a month easily. The oxva shows over 4K puffs.

Thank you! I’ll research it!

I’m know another person that swears by those as well. It’s good to know the pods last that long. Thank you!

I second the Oxva devices! I use either my Oxva Xlim Pro2 or the newer larger Oxva Vprime both excellent taste. But with the Vprime u can also get 0.2, 0.4 , 0.6 and 0.8 pods so got more selection and a far larger battery. Both good for stealth vaping ( not the 0.2, I set a smoke alarm off !!).

My one DNA250 Lipo mod. Old skool but good skool. Evolve DNA and lipos are a match made in heaven.

I decided to use my Sandvik Kanthal flat wire. I hoard it like it’s gold, lol. I have less than 15 ft of it left. That’s a 3.5mm diameter coil believe it or not. Can’t tell because it’s flat :rofl:

Hey that one’s cool!

I must have 5 or 6 LiPo mods. They like to be used or the cells get out of balance. A long charge will rebalance the cells.

Thx for the tip :+1:

Do you mean a slow charge? Like 0.5C?

If one of the cells on your lipo become unbalanced you will notice this if your mod doesn’t charge up 100% when it has finished charging and quite often the amount that it does charge to will only decrease if the cell is unbalanced a lot. The best solution to resolve this is to get a balance charge and charge your battery up through that, this will make sure that all of your cells are balanced evenly and you will get back up to full capacity of 100%. The DNA chip does have a balance charger actually installed into the chip so sometimes the unbalanced mod will balance up evenly itself but it’s not a good quality balance charger that is on the chip so quite often you will need to make use of an external balance charger.
If the lipo battery becomes unbalanced firstly you should keep charging as normal and hopefully the DNA chip will balance things up but an external balance charger will be needed if they don’t get back on track.
I hope this helps and also makes sense :smiley:
