Hi guys and gals!
Wow, extremely sorry for the super delay in replies, things have been a little upside down on my end.
Anyhow, here goes:
I would like to apologize in advance if I accidentally skip someone in my reply here.
Ok, so I made a couple of changes to my cart as per some suggestions made by you helpful guys that took the time to reply to my questions.
And my gear arrived last week!!!!
Yeah baby, Yeah!!!
I was sooo stoked when I saw the courier bloke pull up to my house, that I actually beat my dog to the gate
So I proceeded to SHRED the packaging to peek into Valhalla, and boy oh boy was I in for a treat. Now to be fair, I am a bit of a gadget guy whom is a sucker for eye candy, hence my predisposition to pretty things, even if they sometimes do not make any sense.
I will definitely attach some photos after typing the post, so that you guys can be bored at my enthusiasm, Probably a noob thing...
Ok, with all that said, where to start, lets see... Ahhh, @adriaanh :
With regards to your advice on the Aegis X having bad battery life, I DID take that into account, and did some more research into the mod, with around 80% of reviews that I could find stating that they tend to get a whole day of vaping on a set of batteries at around the 35Watt setting. The ones that did not get a full day, I kind of chalked up to the AWESOME 2.4" OLED screen...
With regards to the tanks, I am a weird person when it comes to mixing brands, when i used to still be young and noisy, I would pruchase my car stereos in the same manner, if I bought a JVC headunit, i would buy JVC amps, mids,tweeters, subs, etc.. ALL in JVC. It does not make senseto normal people, I know, but in my (sometimes scary/troubled/happy) head, it makes a difference...
Then, @Timwis :
I understand and appreciate the concern regarding the running before I can walk problem, however, I am a HUGE DIY Dan... As mentioned I have a severe inclination to setting my goals (sometimes WAAAAYYYY) too high, and then suffering for a bit, until that blissful moment when I get it exactly right... Then I feel like a Jedi!
I think that I have a psychological need for that battle and that I might be addicted to that sense of accomplishment...
On the note of MTL and DL, you do not have the wrong end of the stick, it is in fact my startup kit, however, I have had some limited experiences with vaping on different brands/styles or whatever you call it.
My mother has a Twisp Edge MTL device, which is a pen style e-cigarette that I tried a couple of times when visiting her, it was OK, but the fact that I had to suck on it like a hooker in a glory hole shack, just to get some vapour production going properly(and then be hit with the 10second cut off thingy...), was immensely frustrating, and almost put me off vaping completely...
I then had my brother in law come visit us with a Smok Vape Pen 22, which he was vaping like an old school hubbly, straight through to the lungs, and that was an indication to me, after trying it out once or twice, that I do, in fact, prefer the DL type devices.
As for the flavour from the Zues X, I would have to say that I do think that you must be right, (no offense to anyone else on here that offered up their time to give me options and/or advice), but for another RTA or tank to beat this thing on flavour, they would have to be something truly remarkable...
Man!!! Does this thing give me a whole mouth full of flavour... It is litterally like eating or drinking the real deal of the flavours that I have... Mind you, it might just be because of my limited knowledge and possibly unsophisticated palette, lol!
Then I believe it is @Chickenstrip :
Thank you for pointing out the dangers of charging the mod via the usb... Definitely not something I would EVER want to experience...
Rest assured though, i did follow the advice of @Grand Guru above, to buy the extra 2x batteries and an external charger, so I think i should be safe on that front now. I did, however keep the wire and the measuring tool on my order, but did remove the battery wraps.
Let's see... Who's next...
Ahh Yes... @Resistance
What a comprehensive reply, thank you very much for the heads up about the recall on the golisi s4 chargers. I ended up buying the Nitecore New i4 intellicharger, which seems to be working perfectly.
Once again, I have to agree that the flavour that I am getting from this Zeus X, is just INSANE! It does GUZZLE though, with dual coils at 0.12Ohms and at 60 Watts... Have had a couple of days to try her out, and sometimes go through 5-6 tanks of ejuice in a day... However, i only went through 2 tanks yesterday.
I did end up keeping the little toolkit, and I am pretty glad that I did, because of one simple little thing, and that is that the clippers that are included in the kit actually fits underneath the build deck(atleast I think that is what it is called...) to trim the legs of the coils after they are screwed onto the deck... Which in my humble opinion is pretty cool.
I di not take an extra Bubble tank though, because I saw that the Zues X comes with a straight tank as a spare, I did read that the straight tank takes about a millilitre less ejuice, but figured that it would do in a pinch, should something go horrendously wrong.
I will definitely be posting a new thread for advice on the art of coil making...
Then, @Silver :
Thank you for also putting you advice in with everyone else.
Seems like this forum is a big, supportive family with siblings like @Timwis and @Resistance sometimes having quarrels...(Which was quite funny though, and actually makes a newbie like myself feel more welcome, and broke the ice a little)
As for the CBD juice, all of their cheaper ones were sold out, and were also weaker dosages (some were like 25mg CBD, etc), whereas the one i ended up ordering was a 500mg 30ml Grape Ape bottle. Which, I have to say, seems to be helping quite a bit with my couple of issues. It does also help for the pain management of my broken right hand, broken left ring finger, which is now skew because of a screw that's in there and hernia, etc... (ALL of these injuries and some that I didnt even mention, was due to being run over by a) Pardon the emoticons, I am not allowed to say that he was in fact under the influence...
Last but not least ... @Dela Rey Steyn :
I did cancel the Demon Killer coils like you suggested, (thank you for that), I hope i did not swop it out for something worse, though...
I ended up taking the Vapefly Ni80 24GA 0.4Ohm Normal coils, they came in a pack of 100pcs...
Will see how they work soon enough i suppose.
OK guys and gals,
I hope I did not skip anyone, if I did, please accept my apologies.
PS. I am happy to report that I dropped in the "Stinkie" categoryrisas3 down from 40-60 cigarettes per day to a measly 5-7 per day, all thanks to my vape gear and knowing that there are forums like this out there with people that truly assist where they can, support when needed, and are not information hogs/hoarders. People whom are willing to share advice and council.
