Let Us Now Praise Sturdy Gear

How often we hear in this forum of pricey gear that stopped working after it was dropped. Sounds to me like planned obsolescence. Let's use this thread to recommend gear that has proven to be sturdy.

Steer clear of mentioning yet again the gear that didn't make it. B-o-r-i-n-g! This is a good-news blog.

My own example: the no-brand-name ego-style clones I got in a starter kit at EasyVapors.com--with two vapes, etc.--which cost me $26 (now down to $22). I've replaced worn-out batteries ($7) and gotten extra clearomizers ($2-$2.50) for different flavors, but I've dropped that vape just about every day. No problems!

Gear Beast Shipping\turn Around Time

So I just placed an order for some vape gear on Gear Beast. Been eye balling their site for a few weeks now.... kinda seems like the new fasttech in a way. I've ordered from fasttech many times. Their shipping was actually quite fast when they first started selling vape gear, but that went down hill quick as they got more popular.

So I'm wondering what kinda time line I'm looking at for a west coast USD delivery of my purchase. I figured you guys could help me out as I'm assuming a few people seeing this post will have ordered from them before.

Thinking about upgrading from my Ego One to the Mega. Good price on gear beast. Need some positive feedback on gear beast first. Thanks !  

Spouse Driving Me Nuts!

My spouse says he doesn't need anything fancy and is happy to vape with the tank and battery he has.... Great! He doesn't want to research anything, but will listen to me when I talk about gear and tanks and whatever.

Every time I upgrade, he gets jealous of my better flavor/vapor, look of gear or whatever has changed. No big deal, he gets all my old gear when I get new....

Except that gear he was once coveting is no longer what he wants because he is now coveting my NEW gear!

Problem is, he has already called me from the road (in the middle of the night) to trouble shoot his Nautilus/Vamo set up, is always getting me to fix his stuff and when I try to show him how to do it he just kind of wanders off.

There is no way I am giving him an RBA!!! I can see me now building all his coils and getting frantic calls when he is on the road!!!

Anyone else have this problem with their SO? If so how do you deal with it? I get soooo frustrated! The man would run out of juice and never have a charged battery if he had to take care of it himself. Maybe I should just let him flounder for a while?  

Can I Bring Vape Gear To Mexico?

I know y'all are the experts.

My husband and I are planning a trip to Cancun this fall. We're flying Delta. I know that Delta allows vape gear in carry on luggage.

However, I do not know if we are allowed to have our gear once we arrive at the airport in Mexico and/or return home from Mexico. I cannot find a definitive answer online.

Do any forum members know the answer? Has anyone traveled to Mexico recently, and what was your experience?

Btw: Preemptively stressing about this. My husband and I have been cigarette free for many years now, but we have never gone without vaping for any period of time.

Thank you!  

E Cig Gear Future Availability

Due to the flavor ban that might eventually affect the whole country and the upcoming pmta deadline that will make it a challenge for companies to release any products at all, is it possible that vape gear will disappear. There is the diy option for juice so im more concerned about hardware. Any thoughts?  

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

I think we all have vape gear that will fit into the categories. I know I do. This will obviously be personally subjective so I ask that be no bashing in this thread. That being said I like some unusual gear that never really became mainstream. What do you have? Is it's good, Bad or ugly?
The Good
Vicious Ant Spade mech, Signature Tips SQ 217 and Clutch, All Armageddon RDAs, All Purge RDAs, TM24 PRO RDA, MDX B@stard Kit, Fossil Box mod. Those are my favorites
The Bad
Axial RDA I want to like it but I don't. SQ Topside mod it hits hard but the squonk bottle is bad.
The Ugly
VLX RDA the one I have is the ultem version. Wormhole RDA is a good RDA once you get it setup but it is ugly. Elder Dragon RDA is a nice little single coil RDA that I like but you have to admit it is ugly.  

Quitting Cigarettes Again

After around 7-8 years of vaping, I started smoking again. It happened Labor Day weekend. Some triggering, stressful, and highly irritating things went down. There have been a few times I've smoked before (since switching), but not for any amount of time.
The gear I have right now isn't doing much for me. Which makes me feel like a spoiled a hole, because I originally quit with 808 cig likes
My mod is an MVP 4.... I think The tank is a cleito pro. The other mod I have is so so. My e liquid is 9 mg DIY mint. It does not feel harsh enough. Buying new gear doesn't excite me at all anymore. So do any of you have some suggestions, for gear? I know what I need to do regarding the e liquid.  

So Need My New Gear To Get Here!!!!!

I ordered a new Istick 50 and Lemo II and really need it to get here soon been vaping on an evod 2 for almost 2 months now and totally helped me get off the analogs but now everything I vape on it tastes like crap and very metallic even after cleaning and changing coils nothing helps so need to leave it and start fresh with some new gear and keep on vaping  

Best Sub Ohm Kits, Best Kits?

Wondering what, in your opinion, is the best sub ohm starter kit?

Also, best starter kit? Best tanks, best batteries?

I currently use several different things, and switch it up a lot. Just curious to get some opinions on the best gear out there.  

Recommendation Gear For A Friend

I feel very comfortable with searching for different vape gear and choosing what I think would work best. I enjoy my gear and I know what type of things I like. My question is about what should I buy for a friend who is new to vaping, but a previous smoker?

I've narrowed it down to a few things.
Innokin MVP 20watt
Joyetech EGO One 1100mah
Joyetech Egrip
Kanger subtank nano would be the most versatile clearo

My objective to stay cost friendly and simple. If anyone could recommend anything similar or something I may have missed let me know. I'm trying to stay away from the istick and replaceable battery devices. I let the person a try a few of my setups and the one that appealed most to him was my freakshow mini single coil @0.7ohms on the SMPL clone, the battery voltage was around 3.9ish at the time. He is not looking to become a hobbyist and has no interest in blowing clouds.

I'm leaning toward the MVP20watt and the Kanger subtank nano the most right now, but feeling the MVP3 would be an even better choice for the device. Let me know if you have any suggestions, I will be buying soon.

Thanks.

I also want to mention this person does construction work and the device may be subject to some durability tests lol.
