VaporTron

I used my personal coupon code with Bulldog-Vapor, saving $20 on 60ml of Blueberry Pie and 60ml of Monkey Nuts. Also placed an order with FatDaddyVapes for the Stingray Ultimate magnet switch upgrade, King V2 magnet switch upgrade, and a 10"x10" mod polishing cloth.

That is super cool but so is my boss. She did not buy us the equipment but she suggested it and allows us to vape at our desks. I feel lucky to have such an understanding boss and she never smoked. There were 3 of us who smoked and went outside several times a day for smoke breaks. It started with one then I joined her, then the last one joined us. Now we have a Analog free office and we all smell so much better. We even have people come into the office and say how good it smells in the office.

Here she is. First coil.

Maybe I should finally invest in a mini torch. I've been using the kitchen stove this whole time. Pot holders and tweezers, lol.

Nice. He'll be popping out sweet coils in no time.

Me too!

Got my coil building tools

Not sure how that burn mark got on the rug in the basement honey.

It is

That's a good boy!

That sure is a pretty order you got there tron

The K100 was my first mechanical mod and it's a great workhorse. This mod is the clone for the Empire Mod which is very hard to get, it's rarely in stock. For over six months I've been waiting to get an email saying they have some for sale but it hasn't come yet. The original Empire Mods go for around $160.

I really like the Magneto for ease of use. It's also a little more slender and less heavy than the K100 using magnets rather than springs for the button.

Like anything else you'll find good quality clones and badly made ones. The clones I have I'm very happy with their performance.

Very elegantly put Heldar! I agree!
Batteries? Get some Sony VTC5's. Chargers can be a bit debatable as far as brand. I personally use the Efest luc v4 charger and love it. But others here may have a different suggestion for you.

As far as Original vs Clone prices, youre dealing with a couple of things. One is cost of production in the states vs china. Production in the USA overall is far more expensive due to our relatively recent tenancy to out source. Secondly, they tend to be limited runs (intended or not is irrelevant) which allows them to charge a premium. Think of Ferrari vs GT 500 or Corvette. Thirdly, the thought of something US made or at least localish ( IE, not China) tends to demand higher prices in general, with the combination of the first two points. there are nothing wrong with clones. They use the same materials and look the same. Maybe they dont use the highest quality steel or what have you, and may have a bit more voltage drop, but as someone who isnt a "connoisseur" of mech mods, youll likely not find much of a difference between the two.

Just find something you like, and something that your wallet can agree with, in terms of mods. Batteries are a whole different animal. Dont skimp, and you really have no reason to. They arent expensive. Also get a good charger, they can be pricey, relative to their function, but it will be worth it.

I have a k100 and k101. Both are good mods. Mine have proven to be quite durable and take a good bit of abuse. They have a relatively low voltage drop. Not as good as full copper mods, but quite good for a cheap mod

Dude, clones are fine. I have seen articles like that and I find its mostly bs. Know ohm law. Buy good batteries and chargers. Vape safe. If you can hold a mod and see how you like it in person.

Personally I dont like the karmy k100 mod. Its cheaply made and for the money there are a lot better mods out there. Like the panzer black hawk, the ironman, and a few others can all be had for under 50 bucks.just read reviews on mods before buying.

As for batteries, I use sony 18650. And efest 18500 and 188350 batteries. Sony are expensive but most can be gotten from amazon. Stick with sony or efest batteries. Stay away from surefire batteries.

As for charger, the efest luc2 is what I use and love it. Others use the intellcore chargers. Also good but the efest has more for what I do and thats why I use it.

Hope this helps

Very cool Joe! This is where I work

This is where I work.

I work on an oil rig in a section of the gulf of mexico called Eugene Island. About 100 miles of the coast of Louisiana.

Here's the links to the videos. It's part 1-5. All tolled it's something like 2 hours and 48 minutes.

Hope you enjoy it. I did. Mike from madvapes isn't as kooky as rip tripper but the videos are packed with info for folks like me just starting out.

I bought a few of these today. They work really well for a cheap Atty holder. You can get them at Dollar Tree for $1ea.

NEXT!

Not mine just had to share...

Thanks! I'm glad it's not just me
