  1. Air temp 86 Water temp 74 This is my season!
  2. Comp I am going to guess 3? Thing is KPT coils have always read high on every meter I have put them on. 1.8s are 2.0-2.1 etc... From 7.4-7.7w still equates the same voltage telling me this is more consistent power even at different scales within the same voltage. The way I vape I will probably plug in at bedtime every other night but I bet I could get 3 days minimum the way I vape.
  3. After trying every tank known to man we have settled on the Aspire Davide with standard KPT single coils as the best overall and now that's all we use.
  4. Also keep I mind we were not looking to do it for fun or as a passion we were looking at it from a standpoint of consolidating and building a brand for a year then dumping the "largest online supplier" for a profit lol. If we had pulled the trigger it would have been the largest online storefront in existence lol.
  5. Good luck I hope you do well. Just remember many people like to buy their stuff all at the same place and will pay a little more for good service. I don't even shop around anymore personally if Sweet-Vapes doesn't have it I probably don't need it. IMO they are top of the heap in online shops and would be a great shop to model yourself after. Fuzion Vapor liquids are also available wholesale. I talked to Chris some about his about a year ago when we were in talks to buy the four companies and consolidate them. We met with the owners of two and the CEOs of the two that were incorporated and once we saw financials we realized how thin the margin of profitability was. Without naming names you would be amazed at one we looked at, one of the biggest online(2.8m in gross 2013 sales) that had barely break even years. The more profitable of the four we were going to consolidate was still on the lowest end of profitability of any business I have looked at and buying and flipping smaller businesses has been something I have done for a long time on the side. Just don't invest your life savings expecting a big return. Our break even point on the potential investment was at 12 years even with a combined $5.8m in sales annually between the four.
  6. She loves the color lol. I mean if she bails and decided to not use it I'm not carrying a pink battery haha. I got a leather case for mine with a lanyard for the boat mainly and ordered a couple different silicone cases for protection against my wife who drops her ecig at least twice a week 24 hours later battery still has not moved from full.
  7. I looked at it several times and came close on a very large scale but at this point there is not a wholesale-supplier chain trustworthy enough and that allows enough margin to make it worth the investment. My brother and I came very close to buying and consolidating four well known online shops but after analysis decided against it. Everyone has different risk thresholds but I would rate it a very high risk venture right now with all the competition and limited markup in product. You would need a very extensive in house made liquid line and very high volume to even be marginally profitable IMO.
  8. It's mainly the battery life but the other features are cool too. Once I held a friends at work and saw it was self contained and no 18650s to mess with I had to get my wife and I one. Already gave my daughter two of my Spinner 2s, I love em but don't need 12 anymore. The wife is still on the fence with hers mainly because of weight but I think she will come around. I hope so I'm not using a pink one haha.
  9. Ok now I get it. No I am not subohming and still use my Davide with 1.8 singles but this thing is cool. Things have come a long way since my Vamo V3 lol. Used it since this morning and battery hasn't dropped at all that I can tell and the ohms law conversion on the screen is pretty badass. I'm on board with this one lol. Fits in the palm and pocket rather nicely as well.
  10. My two Istick 50w came in and are charged and ready to go but waiting till I get home so the wife and I can try em together. Also got in my 90 day supply of liquid and coils for the wife and I.
  11. Congrats Tam and a special thanks for all the help you have been to me personally over the years!
  12. I vape openly almost anywhere in any of our buildings and allow the employees to do the same and have not had a single issue in over two years. I know what you mean there are 9 people at work that I got started but a couple still smoke too. It's rewarding to watch the others regain their pre-smoking lifestyle and am always happy to answer any question. Boaters and vapers are two of the most helpful to each other of any subsets of society I know!
  13. Ok had to see what all the fuss is about. Ordered the wife and I each an Istick 50w hers in pink mine in silver with leather case-lanyards from Sweet-Vapes. Also 15 boxes KPT coils 1.8 ohm from VT store 240ml Fuzion Endless Summer 18mg 240ml ECblends Peppermint 18mg
  14. Sub I live near the mountains and even a simple 100 mile trip by car will do the same thing. Temperature too. During hunting season when I am in the woods in 10-30 degree weather my tanks get cold but perform flawlessly. The minute my car starts to heat up they flood so I blow them out only to have to do it again as I leave the mountains and drive back into the Tennessee Valley where I live lol. Just part of it.
  15. But I use basic equipment and dropped the APVs a long time ago. Not even sure how the one you have works. Anything above about 7-8w resulted in a burned taste when I did use an APV long ago. Can't wrap my mind around anything 50w lol
  16. I find 1.8 ohm at 3.8v to be my sweet spot but every liquid and person may have different tastes. Dial it up till it tastes burned then dial it back down a notch. Somewhere in that area will be your sweet spot lol
  17. If so I would be in bad shape as many times I have spilled liquid on myself lol.
  18. Not for everyone definitely not for me lol. All that matters is what works for you.
  19. Race baiters like Al Sharpton are the biggest problem. Sure there are instances where race plays a factor in ones treatment and that is wrong but the assumption with him and others seems to be EVERY instance is about race which is simply untrue.
  20. It's not a protest it's a crime scene at this point. A valid message once again marred by thugs and criminals taking advantage of a situation.
  21. Not even sure where to start will defer to others on this one....
  22. Back to normal Sunday's! Bye bye winter️️
  23. Well today marks two years since a nasty analog touched my lips. I like others have said sort of see this as the last major milestone in my journey to leave tobacco behind. It's no longer a struggle it's simply a way of life at this point. I thought instead of patting myself on the back I might share a few things I have learned and realized: Backups for backups on tanks, batteries and coils are key to success. You spent hundreds of dollars a month on analogs for one months investment you can be set for a year and never be in a bad spot. Vaping can save you money if you keep it simple. I mean spend what you want it's your money lol, but for me saving money was a motivating factor and at this point including the cost of equipment and supplies it has cost me about $1.60 per day to vape. Compared to about $7-8 a day on analogs or more when you consider how many people bummed them off you haha that is considerable savings. If it's a hobby for you awesome but keeping up with the next guy will result in less savings or even more cost when in reality a simple battery, tank, coil and liquid will get it done lol. Do not hide the fact you vape in fact do the opposite just do it in a respectful way considerate of others. In restaurants and places that it is not openly accepted step into the bathroom stall and stealth vape, have done this since day 1. I refuse to go to a "smoking area. I do not smoke. On that same note, please do not hold yourself to be a spectacle. Please do not participate in making vaping a sport with cloud competitions and walking around in public blowing giant clouds. Our fate WILL be decided by those who will not be impressed by those activities but rather the opposite. Some do not understand we are in a fight right now to not be doomed to $10 cigalikes made with God knows what in them by big tobacco. Just remember it's not what we vapers think that really will decide policy, it's the public perception that will be the deciding factor. If you want to blow giant clouds and build .00000001 ohm coils and push the limits go for it just do it safely and equally importantly do it in an appropriate place. Our future is in our own hands, lets preserve it not harm it! Lastly thank you to those on here that have been by my side since day one. It's you that gave me the education that has yielded this result. It's a debt that can never be repaid, it saved my life very literally. From myself and the loved ones in my life, my gratitude will be there the rest of my days!
