I've been through a great deal of SMOK's and Wismec's. Each seems to last me a year or less before the thing breaks. The buttons seem to just stop working on the Wismec's. If you've had a mod last you longer than a year, what kind was it? Where did you get it from?
Wismec 3 Battery? No good. Breaks within a year without dropping. Replicated on two mods.
Wismec 2/3 mod? Yet again, poor manufacturing. Wires not soldered properly. Almost lasted a year.
Squid Industries Double-Barrel? Craps out after 1 month without any damage. Wont turn on.
GeekVape Aegis Legend? 2 months and not reading the batteries right. Never so much as tipped over on my desk.
SMOK? Had more than I can count or bother to recall the exact models, but every one busted within a year.
None of them seem true to their warranties either. They make it as tedious a process as possible. I haven't tried with the Aegis Legend yet, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's probably more of the same.
At this point, I am convinced that I have spent more money on mods than I have on juice. These mods are all made like crap. I don't want to spend $80 every few months to get a new mod. I just want to vape for gods sake.
Has anyone had a mod that has lasted them over a year? What kind was it? I've asked this before and that's what led me to the Double-Barrel and the Aegis Legend. Both have failed on me even sooner than my previous attempts.
Just started vaping again and to my dismay, my all time favorite tank,
Wismec Reuleaux RX Gen 3, is nowhere to be found. Wismec doesn't seem to be doing much these days. Don't know if they went out of business or what.What a friggin bummer! I'm crying over here.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all the Vapers out there.
May 2020 be a less stressful year and may Politicians have more sense and look at real science. May they stop pandering to people and organizations just for the money. I know, I know, that is a big ask but if you don't ask, you don't get.
Keep Calm and Vape On!
Peace
Hey guys,
I didn't really pay attention for over a year at what's going on in ther world of vape.
After rejoining you guys it seems I read a lot more about people vaping higher VG juices than a year ago.
What's the deal? Cloud chasing?
spent the day reading vape forums, made some new vape juice and wrapped up a bunch of new fused SS claptons, which are working awesome in my aegis X in TC. Now I can start the new year waiting for my new vape stuff to show up
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy one year vaporversary to Meeeeeeeee,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
Thank you to the entire ECIG Forum community in helping me GET OFF THE STINKERS for one year today.
The quality of my life, my health and my TEETH have all improved drastically. I don't smell anymore except for the occasional vanilla banana
I could not have done this without all of you and your help, support and advice.
Thanks again and here is to another year!
its been a year since i had a allergic reaction to a juice (banana suicide) and i haven't been able to vape... i just choked...and i had to resort back to smoking... i know .. i know... and ive had a sinus cold the last few days so i went to the local vape shop bought a small bottle of juice since i didn't want to smoke while sick and tried it..yesterday....and what do you know...... IM SO EXCITED i can vape!!
I found some old ejuice and its about a year old, maybe a little more, is it okay to vape it? how long is juice good for?
I just felt the need to share a short version of my journey to date:
I had been vaping part time you about 2.5 years before my new (now ex-) girlfriend got me to walk into what was pretty much the only vape shop in town. After trying the V3 eGo setup, I bought a tank to replace my older eGo-T crap tanks and some juice. the next weekend, I bought an entire new eGo kit and gave her my old batteries so she too could start vaping. We both cut down on smoking by 50% in a couple of days. It took me a total of 12 days to decide I was done with cigarettes and by the 4th week, I was the owner of a Provari. This all started a year ago now. The Russian 91% followed quickly after that. Next wednesday will be my TRUE one year vapaversary. I since acquired a second Provari for a ridiculous price and 2 more Kayfun clones.
I will not hide that there have been temptations, even lately, to try an actual cigarette, but I have been keeping strong. I did smoke a small cigarillo at the company Christmas party last December and resisted the urge to ask for one or two more from my coworker.
I have not felt the need to stop and take a 5-10 minute "breather" for about a year now whenever I do just about anything physically demanding and I have to thank vaping for this. I also now have a great vape shop minutes away from where I live and have been into various vape shops halfway around the world (work related travels... I'm not that rich and I can get great juices 5 minutes from here) I still get one or two juices form that first vape shop I visited, which now has 4 locations, all of them at least a 30 minute drive from home.
Remembering last year, I do miss my ex (we left each other on good terms) and I really wonder how she's doing on her side with vaping. I know she's got a great shop near where she now lives and hope they have been able to help her. I have been to that shop, but was on a business trip and it was hard enough to know she had to go back to her hometown, so I didn't call her to let her know I was going to be in the area. It's probably better that way, although I still think about her.
It's been a great journey and I now can't wait to get on my old hybrid bicycle to see if I can now keep those racer owners behind me for good; during one of my last rides last summer, 2 of them took the better part of a mile before they finally passed me, and that was on the slope uphill on my way back from my 1 hour ride. I still weight over 250 pounds, BTW and will train hard to make those snobs eat my dust with a definitely inferior bike like I used to 10 years ago
Thank you ECF for helping to keep me on track and enjoying vaping so much!
"In a letter sent to the FDA on June 7, the Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Advocacy asked the regulators to seek a court order extending for an additional year the current moratorium on enforcement actions against small vape manufacturers who submitted Premarket Tobacco Applications (PMTAs) before last year’s Sept. 9 deadline."
"The SBA letter doesn’t mean the FDA will ask Judge Grimm to extend the enforcement grace period, but it is an encouraging development."
