What Building Tools Do I Need?

So I have been buying up a decent stock of RTAs over the past few weeks, and today it hit me. I have no building tools. My question is this? What exactly do I need. Should I buy one of those fancy Coilmaster all-in-one kits? Should I just buy items seperately? I am having a hard time figuring out what are necessary items, and what things are just kind of extra (nice to have, but can live without). Any guidance would be appreciated.

Can I Bring My Building Tools On A Flight As Carry On?

I'm flying to Denver tomorrow and this is the first time I've ever flown anywhere and want to know if I can bring my building tools with me when I fly. I'm talking mini screwdrivers, wire, scissors, wire cutters etc. would I be permitted to bring these items considering they're all less than 7 inches long?

GFV Coil Building Tool Kit 8 Pieces Universal Household..

Sorry for the bold, cut and past... I just wanted to throw this out there for anybody looking for a reasonable priced tool kit. I got this from amazon for $32 and it has everything you need except an ohm reader. I purchased the two from amazon with the mini tab v2 and the case and tools were a POS. I used the alien coils and cotton included and was astonished with the flavor. Good buy  

Maintaining Items In Storage

Now that most of the stocking up is behind us, what would be a suitable procedure for maintaining items in storage?

For regulated mods, keeping them dry is probably all that is needed. But should the sealed wrap be removed to avoid condensation inside?

How about atomizers? I had a problem in removing the cap from a used RDA after it was in storage for two years. Had to resort to using WD40 because the o-rings became adhered to the metal surfaces. I ruined the o-rings in the process. Would it make sense to go through and disassemble/reassemble things at certain time intervals? Should items be stored disassembled? Will o-rings become permanently compressed over time? Maybe put some vg on the o-rings for storage? Or should o-rings be removed? It's already been said that things should be cleaned/soaked before going into storage.

I have one RDA that gets sticky while in use. I remove the cap about once a week, just so I can.

What do you do? What do you think?  

Please Help Me!

Hi guys, I'm back!

I'm still vaping away, and happy as ever to be doing it. You guys might remember me, it's been a while. My mom died from lung cancer and I haven't smoked a cigarette since. But I'm humbly asking for help from the experts, because I'm at a loss.

I vape on a Vandy Vape Berserker MTL vape pen, and I buy the coils from elementvape.com or electrictobacconist.com. I vape salts, 24mg. This works BEAUTIFULLY for me. I'm satisfied, it's easy, I have zero interest in building things or using tiny screwdrivers or any of that. Maybe once all the little people in the house can use the bathroom without my assistance I'll have time to devote to coil building, but I digress....

So onto my issue... No one is selling the coils for this vape pen! It's out of stock everywhere and I am freaking out. I don't want to use pod systems, I live way out in BFE and don't want to constantly be waiting on shipments.

Can anyone tell me SPECIFIC devices to buy that 1. work with salts and 2. have coils that don't need to be built. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE?!?! And dumb it down, talk slowly, I don't know all the lingo of the cool kids.

Thank you guys in advance. You all were very kind to me while my mom was dying, and I appreciate it so much.  

Geek Vape Products

Hello! All!
I hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy.
QUESTION? I have been buying Geek Vape products for a little over a year. For the past 10-12 weeks, I have been having a hard time in finding coils, tanks and Vaping devices. I went on 10 different websites and they are all out of stock. Does anyone know if there is a problem with Geek Vape or if the problem is for other companies or products coming to the USA.
Thanks,

Lost And Found Today

Today, we traveled 3 hours to Philadelphia to see doctors and get testing for my wife's surgery on April 2nd.

I brought 4 vape kits with me for the ride and emptied one rta on the trip to Philly. I parked the car in the lot and it looked like a long walk to the entrance, so I brought one with me for the walk. As I approached the entrance I put the kit in my shoulder bag, pulled up my mask and entered the building. The vape somehow didn't come out of the building with me. So it's lost.
It was a Dead Rabbit V1 RTA on a Vapresso Gen mod. Gone.

Then when I came home, in desperation I searched the bag one more time, and found a VCT-5 battery that has been missing since May, 2020. It was in a pocket under my sunglasses. I searched high and low for that battery and am very relieved that it's not behind my desk or something waiting to catch on fire.

So finding the battery definitely relieved the pain of losing a kit.  

Question About Building On Mutation V2

As you might know, the mutation RDA has a post on the outside, one large one in the middle with 2 holes, and then another outside post I see a lot of people while building on a mutation putting the leads of their coils in the outside and then the hole further away, as seen in my crudely drawn photo=p i was just wonderingwhy not feed through the closer one, it seems a lot easier? i've been just rolling with the crowd and building using the 2 further ones.  

Time To Venture Into Sub Ohming... Kinda

So I've had a few various egos here and there, and I've loved them. My favorite has been the Aspire CF mod I currently have with the nautilus mini. I feel like it's about time to step my game up. Kinda.

I want to get into sub ohming. It looks fun and the vapor is impressive. I'm not normally one to vape in public, but at my desk at home it'll add some more fun to vaping I think.

I just don't know where to start. I don't really want to build coils or anything like that. I'd rather go with a tank that can sub ohm. Down the line I'll start building my coils, but now I don't want too. I want to see if it's really for me first.

So my question of the topic. What are some good kits that are basically starter kits for this? I've been looking at the ego one, and the aspire cf variant. The aspire is a tad too big, so I don't really want that. And to be honest I want more of a box mod.

I'm looking to spend around 70 for everything. Anyone want to suggest me a good box mod and tank kit that'll help me sub ohm? Thanks for any help!  

Cloumix Feedback

@Pod_Vaper if I understand correctly, I should use this forum for further questions about vendor reviews. I read your review and am interested in more info. I have items I would like to purchase from them and I am a first time buyer.

I do know the virus has caused delays for many China vendors due to a skeleton staff but I am concerned about the "snarky" remark. If it is inappropriate to post publicly would you be kind enough to PM me with the details. I really want to know who I'm dealing with before handing over my money.

That said, they have communicated with me via email almost immediately after my inquiry about partial preorder items. The exchange was professional and timely. Still, I have my concerns according to your experience. Thank you.  

Ebay Shipping

When ordering on eBay make sure to find out where your item ships from. Some venders lead you to believe items are in stock when in fact they order from china.Be sure to read fine print .I've been waiting all most a month for a god mod 180s from a vendor who did just that. Live and learn.I could have done better at Fasttech.
