Picked up a troll RDA for $29 and my Simple Mod clone ($16 eBay) came in. Did a patina, striped the bottom and 4 coats a matte clear.

Sounds like you're doing everything just as you should. I build my own coils which requires preheating the coil before wicking, so I have to let it cool to room temperature before attaching it to the device. Just make sure to manually prime the wick in the coil head with a little eliquid before putting it in your filled tank. By the way, dry-firing a Nickel coil shouldn't affect it's performance at all...the whole premise of TC was to prevent skyrocketing temperatures when your wick goes dry.

Would taxes apply to electronic breath fresheners?

Mine arrived Saturday. So far I love it! Its a beautiful mod at a very reasonable price, especially considering that it comes with the newest subtank.. Within the first day of ownership I accidentally knocked it off of my night stand and put a huge scratch down one side. Luckily, its easy enough to touch up the black version with a sharpie. The finish seems decent enough, but without some kind of silicone cover or a wrap, I think some scratches can be expected with regular use. As for performance, it works great! The display looks amazing, like it has some depth to it. The new OCC vertical coils are awesome. With the old design I was vaping @ 25 watts with the .5 ohm coils. The new design needs a little more power for best performance. Right now I'm running the new .5 ohm coil at 35 watts and its a great vape. Produces more vapor than the old design, and flavor is about the same. Also, the new tank has dual air flow holes, but honestly I can't tell any difference. I think air flow is limited by the inlet on the coil's connector. I haven't tried the rebuildable base yet. Buttons are plastic, but they don't feel hollow or cheap. The magnetic battery door makes swapping batteries a snap and the rounded design makes it feel very good in the hand. If I could change a few things to improve the mod, this is what it would be: 1) Switch to a spring loaded 510 connector. I haven't had any trouble with any of my tanks making contact, but I would just feel better if it were spring loaded. 2) Put a little "lip" at the bottom of the body where the battery cover sits to keep it from moving easily. It works fine as is, but I'd prefer if the cover didn't have any movement unless its being removed. 3) Have it hold voltage in memory after releasing the fire button. This isn't a big deal, but it would be nice to be able to see the voltage without holding the button. Overall the Subox gets a thumbs up from me. I think its one of the best values for a nice looking do-it-all starter kit that I've seen to date. It comes with everything you need except for a battery and juice.. Can be set up for lung inhales, or mouth to lung depending on the coil. Great for beginners and experienced users alike.

​Like you said a Black Market will come of it. Is what it is I guess. I don't get the Government at all. First they tax the crap out of Regular Smokes. Then they make Tobacco company's put warnings on how bad smokes are and they can kill you. Then they launch campaigns quit smoking & let us help you stop smoking etc.. Then some outside sources do the same and follow suit. So do some large drug companies. Now that we stopped smoking like they preached in the first place, now they are like oh **** where is our large tax dollar revenue stream, we are losing all of our money from smokers who made the change to vaping. lol Government, politicians, elected officials are supposed to listen to what the people want, not make up there own minds on what they want. I can promise nobody that vapes said hey lets tax this, and nobody that smokes said hey lets tax vaping, maybe a couple board fools, but other then that there is a louder noise from us saying do not tax this, do not classify this the same as smoking tobacco. Do they listen to the people? NOPE. They listen to big business, the drug company that is losing billions on people quitting by not using there drugs, big business like the tobacco company that wants to level the playing field, hey vaping should cost what smoking does they yell. Government is big business itself. The wasteful spending, the wars nobody wanted, the big taxes on the little guys. If you think about it for to long it makes your head spin. It even hurts worse when it is realized we cant do anything about it. It was the same with online poker, the government destroyed it, while other governments regulated it in a fair way.

Dragon's Breath - Cinnamon Candy Butterscotch - Self Explanetory Didn't buy these i actually got them from a fellow vaper/truck driver. Met him this morning and hit it off, haha fellow vapers unite!

The Arctic is the best tank on the market ATM IMO
