Hi, I thought I'd post in the introduce yourself section since I've been away so long.  I used to be a member here back in 2014/2015, but the temptation of cigarettes got the best of me.  I finally decided to give vaping a second chance.
I got a Mi-One a little while ago and have been extremely satisfied with it.  Man, vaping has come a heck of a long way since 2014, the Mi-One beats the hell out of an ego battery with a CE4.  I feel way more confident this time around.
Anyway I just ordered a Charon 218w and a wake tank and am really looking forward to it.  I am also looking to re-connecting with old friends here as well as meeting all the new members.

Done

I can't believe the price point on this.  Under 20 bucks for a sub ohm tank (with 2 coils) is pretty crazy.  This might not be a bad backup.

There once was a young man named Dave
Who kept cigarettes in a cave.
He said I'll try vaping
and cigarettes evading.
Just think of the money I'll save.  
 
So young Dave a man of his word
found vaping cool; smoking absurd.
But for saving money
the ideas now funny.
Now by too many new things he's lured.

I've been using a kanger protank3 (0.8 ohm atomizer) with an aero base and a itaste vtr with mt.baker 24mg 50/50 juice.  This has become less and less satisfying.  After nearly a year off analogs I have broken down a few times on days when my ecig was acting up and smoked a cig or 2.  I am on the edge of giving the whole ecig thing up.
 
I really think I need to upgrade.  right now I am thinking about a kanger sub ohm and a higher wattage device.  I don't have a ton to spend as I am on a fixed income.  My budget is about $100 a month including juice.
 
I am hoping to find something with bigger vapor (and nic) that is reliable and affordable.  I know $100 isn't much, but I was thinking I could buy a setup in 2 parts and split it up over 2 months.
 
Any advice would be great.  What kind of setup do you think I should get.  Is there other upgrades I could do now to get me through until I can upgrade.  Are there any other things I should consider. 
 
It's been a while since I have posted on this forum, I welcome any advice.
 
Thank you,
Nate

on a trip from Hartford to Cleveland, upgraded to first class and got chatting with the flight attendant as I was the only passenger she didn't have much to do. We talked about vaping, she wasn't familiar.

You were alone in first class? I have a short leg on my flight (salt lake to santa barbara) and so far I am the only one booked, but I figured they would bump some people to first class if it was empty

I am on a tight budget, and have a vamo V5 that is on it's last legs. I want to switch over to a mechanical mod for as cheap as possible. I've seen some really cheap clones in the $20 price range. Am I fooling myself thinking those might preform decently and not break immediately.

I don't need anything particularly beautiful are super well crafted. I can live with threading that is not smooth as butter and a firing button that a little stiff or slightly wobbly, and I don't care if the engraving looks like crap.

I hope to get a nicer mod as money allows, but right now I just need the minimum to get by, without sacrificing too much performance.

Thanks for all the help you guys have given me so far, I don't know where I would be without this forum.

@ Compenstine
you asked in the contest forum how I guessed. I was going to respond back on thaat post but it is locked.

a hint was summer. someone guessed margarita, and was told close. I looked at the flavors you had made, and without a doubt I knew where you were going. you like bright flavors.

I have to say, apple is more my cup of tea, but I am going to have to buck up for the mojito as soon as it comes out.

WOW, what a difference decent juice makes. I just got my e-juice from fadora and had to try a bit before I even steeped it. The fadora apple cidar is awesome, good throat hit at half the nicotine and slightly less PG, and it tastes freakin awesome.
I guess I have been getting crappy juices, I would have never known if I hadn't won that juice I would have never known how good high quality juices could be.

THANK YOU

I have been reading up on this forum for about a week. Today I decided to join, and my guess was the post I have ever made. I have never joined a forum before and don't know how to PM.
This made my day
