I have to say if I were going to get another budget APV this would probably be it.

Fadoras Mint Medley is awesome. Another one to try if you want a super strong mint is ECBlends Peppermint from their "Mints Selector". Thats all my wife vapes and has for over a year. 70pg 30vg extra flavor in 24 mg. It is too strong even for me but she loves it.

OP you can do what you want but I would suggest trying an American company instead of ordering direct from China even though the savings are there of a few bucks. I only use Vision Spinners only but the Vapor Talk Store has the MVP for $45. I had a Vamo and tried a few other APVs but find I like the Egos so much better I sold all that stuff. http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum-357/announcement-15-vapor-talk-price-updates-new-stock/

Right on motorcycles are great on gas. I grew up a motorcycle fanatic but somewhere in my 20s I lost interest and now every penny of recreational vehicles for me goes into boating. That plus I used to not be afraid to get hurt and now I am not so much because of the pain but more the monetary loss that would accompany a serious injury. Its why I no longer jump off cliffs and wakeboard haha. Well that and being 44 and at this point sitting on the boat listening to Led Zeppelin Box Set on shuffle while drinking good bourbon sounds way better haha.

Yes for just one I get that. Sweet-Vapes shipping is $3 up to a certain amount then goes into the "insured shipping" status or something lol. No free shipping there but amazing customer service. I have a power strip where I often have 5-6 charging at the same time plus I keep a charger at my work, my wifes work and on the boat. I have chargers everywhere lol. It also probably costs at least $5-6 to drive 20 miles lol. Its the accounting in me that makes me think about things like that. For me shipping is cheaper haha.

$5.95 each at Sweet-Vapes. May can find them cheaper by shopping around but the VaporTalk store and Sweet-Vapes are the places I trust to get real brand name hardware.

Since I am at the point where I only use Vision batteries and additionally because my wife until very recently would never swab out her connection before plugging her batteries in to charge resulting in highly burned and corroded leads I decided to replace all 8 of my Joyetech USB Chargers with 8 Vision USB chargers. I have to say I am impressed with the look, design and the connections are completely uniform and without flaw (unlike a couple of my Joyetechs that came in with haphazard threading). The light is much larger on the charger and makes it easier to see when fully charged and my Spinner 2s seem to charge about an hour faster on them but it does not fix the occasional need to unplug and replug in the battery because of the pause bug. Now if my wife doesn't clean her battery before plugging it in I am going to have to insist she no longer do any charging lol. With the number of spares we both have there is never a time we do not have 10 fully charged between the two of us and sharing is not an issue (even though I mark mine to know whose they are because she destroys things).

Congrats!

That looks very nice!

My 1.8 ohms will be fine for me And Bebop nailed it!

I guess they are but there is no way to guarantee that absolute safety.

Not really imo. I started on all 24 then dropped to 18 but get no satisfaction from anything under 18.

Any contest involving vaping is a black eye especially in the perceptions of the anti or non vaping community. I just want people to know that the minority that do participate in these do not represent the entire vaping community. I could care less about limits it's more about the fact that it has NOTHING to do with quitting smoking and highlights the inherent dangers. Safety classes or not as a 44 year old businessman I have to wonder if an activity that needs or required safety classes needs to be heavily regulated or banned all together. I mean I know it is probably not a popular opinion around here but I wish those contests would get banned or I am afraid the end result will be attempted prohibition of rebuildables which are exponentially more dangerous than a standard Ego or VW device with a tank on top.

/ hijack lol

I actively boycott anywhere that sponsors Could Contests. I think they are about as senseless and detrimental to our rights as anything could possibly be and am amazed how many people do not see that. It is also largely why I refuse to support B&Ms in my area. No offense to anyone is intended but I have seen carnival workers that carried themselves better than some of these cloud chasing people at my local shops.

Kanger T3S is a great inexpensive alternative. The coils are about $1 and the tanks are $5. Just ordered my wife 6 more because.,,,,well,,,she breaks ****. She has used them since day 1 and prefers them to just about everything else.

Too subtle? LOL

Hell my tanks put off too much vapor lol. I am not worried about that personally. Its funny how that and throat hit used to matter and now I am content with no throat hit and hold my vapor in so as to not cloud up my office. Thats the main reason I do not get the whole "cloud chasing" group. I wish I could have less vapor with the same satisfaction but its not the way it works.

The ONLY reason I do not go 24mg nic all the time like in the beginning is the reason you stated. I am prone to dehydration anyway it seems especially hot weekends on the lake when I am drinking a lot of alcohol. What I do now when I need more is fill my tank half with 18mg and half with 24mg and it seems to give me the bump I need without causing me to dehydrate. I will admit though for the last year I have had no dehydration issues BUT am healthier and have lost almost 45lbs as well as dropping to 18mg nic.I never got a headache though. Its a simple equation though. If 16mg is not satisfying you then go higher nic. Even after 513 days 16mg is not enough for me and 18mg is barely enough. I easily go through 4-5 ml a day of 18mg where I was using 2.5-3ml of 24mg.

Tasted kind of like a babys dirty diaper smells to me. I know it is very popular but I was not a fan. I cannot even begin to describe it maybe someone who likes it will chime in. I have rarely seen anyone "in between" on this one. It seems like people either love it or hate it but for me its just vile.

My wife says at least 12-15 times a day: "Where the eff did I put my e-cig?" The answer is usually "Damn near anywhere".

I will elaborate not that I am not on my phone. I have vaped the better part of 2 years and still cannot vape 16mg. I am using 18mg now and it gets the job done but my wife still uses 24mg exclusively. I occasionally pop in some 24mg and keep some on hand all the time when I want more nic. I dislike the term "headbuzz" because I do not associate that with vaping but I get what you are saying. Your lack of the relaxing feeling Nicotine gives in my opinion beyond the first draw or two is because you are using too low of a level for what you are trying to accomplish.

Get some 24mg nic

Oh I was going to the head one night and had my PV in my hand and when adjusting to not "miss the bowl" and get in (further) trouble with the Mrs. I pissed all over (and into) my tanks mouthpiece. Spares of Spares FTW!

I cant take a picture of the bottom of the lake but if I could there would be several in the pic lol. Only one of my wifes Spinner 2s is there but there is a Provari, a VTR and several mechanicals down there people I know have dropped from their boats. I have dropped mine in the toilet before too. Last year at the beach I dropped mine on my lanyard without realizing it (drunk obv) and found it in the surf about 20 minutes later and only about an inch of my lanyard was swaying in the surf. I am pretty sure that was the only battery I have had die on me and it was several months later. Amazing how tough these things are lol.
