This little Rabbit has my attention. The Dead Rabbit Mini RTA is a 23.5 mm single-coil tank, with 3.5 ml standard capacity, a 510 drip tip and top-to-bottom honeycomb airflow aimed at restricted direct-lung vaping. I like the series, but the practical questions matter: how forgiving is the...

Britain switched on its Vaping Products Duty today, 1 October 2026. South African mixers may recognise the headache: tax by liquid volume, rather than by nicotine content. The UK charge is £2.20 per 10ml. That means £22 in duty on 100ml if the full cost reaches the customer. Eligible old...

The proposed Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Control Bill raises a very South African question: When does your private vehicle stop being yours? I give a colleague a lift to and from work every day. He does not smoke or vape. He also contributes nothing towards the diesel. My...

Kenya’s Vape Bill Offers South Africa a Useful Warning Kenya is preparing public hearings on tobacco-control amendments that could reshape its vaping market. South African vapers should pay attention, because this is exactly how a law can begin with real problems and end by punishing the better...

Official Vaporesso product image. Source: Vaporesso. The Vaporesso ARMOUR OCTA is now appearing at South African retailers. This is a new-product specifications post, not a review. I have not tested the OCTA. The kit is a 220W dual-18650 setup supplied with the 6ml iTank T Dual Mesh. It...

The UK government has announced a £500 million, three-year campaign against dirty money, supported by 500 additional financial-crime officers across the police, National Crime Agency and Crown Prosecution Service. Its announcement specifically mentions changing the law to keep “rogue vape and...

A sponsored announcement from Fumot is promoting something that properly gets under my hide: a 0.4-ohm DTL disposable carrying a claimed 17ml of 20mg/ml nicotine-salt e-liquid. Yes, a DTL disposable. It was bad enough when disposable devices were small MTL sticks. Now manufacturers are...

Right. I watched another reel about South Africa’s proposed tobacco and vaping laws, and once again the internet did what the internet does best. It found a serious issue, threw it into a blender with panic, added a dramatic voice-over, sprinkled on some jail-time seasoning, and served it to...

Need I say more? MedicalBrief just ran the kind of article that makes the Old Goat sit back, rub his beard, and mutter: this is exactly what happens when nobody in charge knows the difference between regulation and panic. For years, South Africa let vaping drift around in a half-legal fog...

Hey herd, I’m putting together a group buy for the TITA X AIO SE DNA60 (One-Piece Limited Edition) — the proper version with the Evolv DNA60 chip and support for both 21700 and 18650 batteries. This is the full aluminum body setup with 4 ml tank, DL and MTL drip tips, transparent panels and...

Well, it’s official – Old Goat is going to the World Vape Show. I’ll be setting up camp at our very own stand (details soon… because where’s the fun in giving it all away now?). Think of it as the DIY corner of the galaxy — if it can be wicked, coiled, or mixed, it’ll probably happen there...

Alright, listen up my fellow cloud chasers… The Old Goat went to a party this weekend, got a little too festive, and somewhere between my last drink and the Uber ride home, my Vandy Vape Pulse V0.5 with a LIMITED EDITION Requiem RBA vanished into thin vapour. Here’s the kicker — as far as I...

Requiem RBA (Limited Edition Gold Black) Review The “Best Atomizer of 2025” Meets an Old Goat Boro Virgin Hey folks! Your Old Goat here, and today’s tale is equal parts admiration, frustration, and stubborn determination. I’ve been circling the boro world for a while, snorting and pawing at the...

So, you want to save money, chase better flavour, and finally take control of what’s going into your vape? Good. You’ve just taken the first step on the path of the cloudcrafter. Mixing your own e-liquid isn’t just cheaper — it’s smarter, more satisfying, and gives you access to flavour profiles...

“The Descent of the Holy Coil” As told by the Old Goat, Keeper of the Fog Brothers. Sisters. Dripmonks. Wickless wanderers. Lend me your coils, for I bring you the true tale — not written in ink, but burned into cotton, and carried forth on the sacred breath of 3mg Nic. Before there was Fog...

Item: Any Broken/Dead Mods (Any Brand) Age: Doesn’t matter – the older, the better Price: We’ll talk — not looking to pay a fortune for scrap, but I’ll make it worth your while Payment Methods Accepted: EFT / Cash / Trade (I’ve got coils & juice if you’d prefer a barter deal) Warranty: If it’s...

There are moments in a vaper’s journey where you don’t ask "Should I?" but instead mutter, "Oh why the hell not?" That’s how I ended up with the Aokit S10 Smart Watch Vape, a device so absurd it loops right back around to fascinating. I didn’t expect much from a smartwatch-vape combo in the...

April 2025 will be remembered as the month the South African vaping industry got smacked with not one, but two punches straight to the gut. First, the United States hit us with a 30% tariff on South African exports — a move that's already starting to choke off our ability to compete in one of...

Disposable vapes have infiltrated our lives with an almost unsettling ease. They're the phantom limbs of modern convenience, appearing in pockets, handbags, and the neglected crevices of our vehicles. But more often than not, they end their journey as discarded husks, littering our streets and...

I. The Rise of DIY E-Liquid Mixing in South Africa Vaping in South Africa has blown up faster than a dry hit at 100 watts. As more people ditch the stinkies, many are looking for ways to take their vaping experience into their own hands—enter DIY e-liquid mixing, the rebellious stepchild of the...
