Who out there is like me and just buys the best kit that we can afford (Or can't afford) and who is very into modding, with houses full of Kanthal and wicks?
Basic Vs Mod Mad

- Start date
So where do I fall - a few Reos and do coiling/wicking when I have to?
I have a problem...
We are well aware...............
Thank you. I'm seeking addiction counseling

I've been vaping for about 3 months now. Here's a brief run down of my journey.
Bought a twisp as a tool to stop smoking. Within a couple of weeks I'd decided that I loved vaping, and bought a 134 mini. Within another week I bought a nautilus clone. And a week later bought an aerotank mega. A few weeks later I sold the 134 and bought a hana modz clone and a kayfun to rebuild. Last Monday I bought a second kayfun cos 1 wasn't enough. Last Friday I ordered a magma (which I will have tomorrow). In a couple of weeks I'm going to order the 50w IPV, and possibly a mech mod.
Who the hell knows where this is going to end for me.
P.s. Although the Twisp is waaaaaaaaay overpriced and no where near as satisfactory as what I'm using today, I have to give them mega kudos for opening the door to this world.

I am not a tinkerer, I will put that out there. It took me awhile to warm up to re-buildables because frankly I am not good with my hands. I am not a handy man kinda guy in the slightest lol.
However! I have come to realize that a good vape is not possible without building coils, thus I make do.. I do so purely for the love of the Vape, not because I like tinkering. I use my same coil and wick for as long as possible.
I think even Sharri is a better coil'er then me. There I said it

Great poll @Matuka
I had to vote number 3 because i did try tweak many things on many devices in search of a better vape
But now i am quite happy. I build coils when I need to and dont do as much tinkering.
If I could get the vape i have now in a pre-packaged box with no fuss or bother then I would be very happy

No problem, we knew that for a long timeI am not a tinkerer, I will put that out there. It took me awhile to warm up to re-buildables because frankly I am not good with my hands. I am not a handy man kinda guy in the slightest lol.

. I am average at building coils at best and, like you, strive to keep it as long as possible. Have dual coils with ceramic wick going for 66 days now. But, I do love building simple coils now and then.

Dont worry @Gizmo, i suspect the vast majority of vapers are not interested in building coils. Id even say that most dont even know that coil building exists.
I think the manufacturers that will do well are those that can deliver a packaged solution that provides a rebuildable quality vape at a good price.
The best part is that you will know when that eventually arrives and will stock it for us
Who are you calling "lunatic"As a follow on, i suppose most of us on this forum represent the fringe lunatics of the vaping market
- we are on the edge of innovation!
I think I should change my handle to "The Magpie"
@Andre I am glad you know. If it wasn't for people like Rowan Francis and Michael (Kempton agent) teaching me tricks or even building me a super coil I would struggle a tad :=) I agree silver. If manufacturers can make a clearo that can perform on the same level as kayfun then I would no doubt switch. The convenience then to me out weighs it all.

I am proud of my lunacy thank you very much!

Lol
To us, we are definitely the bleeding edge, the heroes, the pioneers
To the mass market, we are just crazy lunatics that stay glued to our screens for new gear, play with rayon and use doohickeys late at night when everyone is asleep

Haha it is quite a hilarious. If you think a year ago when you weren't a vaper and someone told you a year from now you would be rolling steel into little coils, smoking cotton and trying all kinds of obscure smoking devices you would probably have a good laugh.
We are strange bunch to outsiders no doubt about that

I have some hopes on the new Nautilus coils - some peeps on on ECF dare to declare that they are on par with a Kayfun vape. And agree, sometimes one just wants the convenience of pack up and go.
Well I will be keen to give it a go :=)
I've seen the reviews where people on ECF are saying this @Andre, even Grimm Green says he's Kayfuns has been gathering dust since he received his Nautilus Mini. Some ECF members have been on the same coils for two weeks and say the vape is still fantastic, same as when they were new.
I will should know by tomorrow, i have some Epic vape mail on the way. Don't count on any reviews or even feedback from me just yet, as its Eid to tomorrow
In my case, the messing around with coils and such has played a major role in helping to forget about smoking. Particularly in the first few weeks. And I can confidently state that the modding aspect was even more influential in helping me to quit. The actual vaping is more of a side benefit for me.
was visiting my mom last night and she said electronic cigarettes are too much hassle as she saw me making coils. had to explain this was the hobby side of vaping and most people don't have to worry about it.
Funny you should say that, I only really noticed this as recently as this past Friday while at a company social event. We were having some beers, one of the guys was happily smoking on his stinkies, and he tried an eGo device before, but went back to the stinkies as he was a bit unsatisfied.
So I tried to convince him to have a go with my Kayfun - at the same time another *non smoking* co-worker that was also part of the conversation said to me: "You really are serious about this vaping thing, aren't you?". Ummm, yes, very much so
So I can definitely relate to what you are saying
