I used AT Mega with stock coils on max VG before transitioning to rebuildbles with no problem. The coils just don't last long. I went through one every 4-5 days. It has slightly better airflow than PT3 though. Just sharing my experience for others who may find it useful.
 
Max VG also works well (for me) in Orchid, Lemo, Subtank, Taifun GT2 with no dry hits

Congrats on ditching analogs, Adversarious1. Cali is still one of the best states to live in... despite the severe drought we are having. haha
 
AR, LA, AL, and I think a couple more states are pushing for higher tobacco taxes.  Louisiana  at least is transparent and said that they need the extra revenue to overcome their deficit. Other states are using their public health department as a platform before proposing tobacco tax hikes, and sadly that includes smokeless and vape products... if they pass.
 
 
Tax revenue are more addicting than nicotine lol

It is probably better to tell us what you are looking for in a mech mod too (i.e form factor 18350/18650/26650, copper or stainless, telescopic or tube, spring loaded vs magnetic switch, etc). What others find a good or great mod may not be the same criteria as what you have in mind, and it will leave you unhappy with our recommendation.

If nothing has changed much including vaping (same mg and same amount daily consumption), i would check with a medical professional.
I agree with Tameki though. More often than not, it is a sign of too much nic in the system

For me, side effects of too much nic and having a nic withdrawal is almost the same, minus the nausea. It might be different for others.
I get the jitters when my blood sugar gets low. I have normal glucose level but I am somehwat of a gym rat ever since I quit analogs, so when I push my body hard, wham, I get the shakes, and light-headed. Only reason I mentioned that is because I noticed you said you run regularly...

Oh, when I see a vape gear I really like, I get the cold sweats.

Felt like tinkering tonight so I pulled some basswood out from the Rc supplies and decided to make a duel parallel 18650 box and make it as small as I could.
Came out to 4x1 3/4x 1 1/8
After I got it glued together and drilled I stained it with some cherry stain I had in the garage. I'm quite pleased with it. What do you guys think?

I love my RDAs and they still top the Orchid in flavor, and will always remain my favorite. Vapor is about the same. The difference in flavor is not far off and I find that a happy compromise in exchange for not topping off all the time. Topping off RDA is not a big deal but when travelling quite a bit like I am doing lately, it really gets on my nerves sometimes.

Orchid is basically more like a kayfun/fogger, So there was a slight learning curve for me the first day. Lots of leaking and I had to re-wick it 3 times only to find out it was my filling technique that was wrong. haha

If you do decide to give it a try, consider getting the V2 or a top fill cap for easy filling. But even without them, it is easy to fill without having leaking problems, just cover the airholes and chimney when filling them up.

Vaping gear is so diverse which is good but could be overwhelming for someone new who wants to ditch analogs and try vaping instead. There is something for everyone, otherwise everyone would be on ciggalikes, and we all know that does not work for everyone.

For those who have found the right gear based on their needs and goals early, that is absolutely awesome. Others have to go through a series of progression to find theirs. Noobs by definition are inexperienced , and the transition is either through meticulous research or by asking around which is what vape forums are for - support base for vapers of all types without prejudice.

In other forums, I noticed some very experienced vapers who are elitist - anyone not sub-ohming or cloud chasing are beneath them, and anyone asking for help gets ridiculed instead of helping them or pointing them to the right direction (granted others don't take take the time to research basic stuff so that may be too tiring for them to do) which imo is just as bad because it will just drive others to go their own without the right equipment and know-how.

Then you have very passionate brand loyalist that if someone mentions something they do not like about "their" brand, the thread immediately gets ugly and childish. All that passion is better directed towards FDA instead

Back on topic, I have yet to find the right flavor for me that goes well with beer or social drinking. I do not crave analogs that much when drinking but I do chain vape whenever I drink.... and when on occasions that I drink enough, flavors do not matter anymore. haha

Unfortunately, they are chud. But it is not hard as it seems. It does require lots of reading at the beginning. I went through the same progression like you are going through now, and stuck with kanger tanks on mech mods while researched batteries, ohm's law and watched lots of video tutorial on coil building and wicking until such a time that I felt confident enough to do it.

I am still learning and I just do basic dual coils... no fancy coild builds for me yet.

Just to add to what earthling said above, go for IMR Li-ion batteries, and it does not hurt to get ohm/volt meter. It's handy to have even with kanger tanks

I revisited congrevape just now. First time I checked it out I closed it right away after seeing figures around 2K and beyond without reading everything. I will end up divorced in no time. haha

But I get it now, it is crowd funding and contributors gets first dibs. I like that. I am not into competition cloud chasing though, or chasing anything for that matter. lol I have the site saved though and will check out other projects I might like.

Thanks, mtdobies.

I did my Overdose as well....

I would avoid the discussion as it would probably end up with them ruling on the safe side. I agree about just cutting a low profile and not flaunting it. It is usually not that hard to get out of sight for a few puffs and there is not much evidence left behind unless you insist on chasing clouds. I work at a hospital and they are trying to avoid making a policy as they realize it is better than having people in hospital gowns and wheelchairs sitting in the rain and snow across the street to get their nicotine fix. But at the same time if they say it is ok then there will be people walking around the halls blowing huge clouds . And I don't really think I have a right to share my habit with someone who does not wish to partake. The tv commercials are really not helping matters with the insinuation that it is ok it is just water vapor. We know it is not just water vapor or we wouldn't be wasting our time and money.

Thanks for the tip, Tameiki!
I just went on a shopping binge on juice, clearos and replacement heads. Now I am better prepared.

Surprisingly, I have not picked up an anolog ever since I switched to vaping. Despite from my nic withdrawal since I did not pick the right nic level, it is by far the most effective I have tried.
