    He's driving from Vegas to Bellingham with a short stop in Ferntucky and hopes to be home around 2AM.

    Never had the first one, but I just got a PT 2 & I like it.
    Both are 2.5mL, they say the draw isn't as airy as 1, all parts are replaceable (including glass). Same height as a basic 1.6mL clearo.
    I like the look of the rounded top of 1 better than squareish top on 2.
    Looks & works great on ether my Vamo V3 (home) or 900mAh Vission Spinner (work).

    So the Trident atomizer is fairly nice. Clouds of vapor, taste of ejuice is as intense as any dripper setup.

    The Atty is a bit of work. It looks super cool but when I got it, I tested it at 0.76Ohms of resistance. I messed with coil but could not get anything higher than 0.90Ohms so I tossed away the wire and used a new piece. I got that to 1.31Ohms and thought I was good to go. Aside from a hot leg, the coil seemed to work well. It burned off the water on the wick but doesn't seem to be wicking any actual ejuice (50/50 12mg MBV Sour Yum).

    On top of all that, it took me a while to figure out how to even take this atty apart. I had to resort to YouTube videos. I'm going to go back to it today or tomorrow and see if a new wick helps. I've never really build a SS wick before though so a little learning curve is predicted.

    That's crazy low resistance! Are you getting any hot spots on the wick? Last time I had a similar problem and it was because I had a nasty hot spot. After taking care that it was all good.

    I did have a hot leg that I fixed for the most part. It could be better, but honestly I was getting irritated with how the wick didn't seem to work so I kind of left it alone.

    I think there was a short happening every time the wick touched the center pole but I'll have to play around with it some more. Maybe I'll switch my focus over to the Trident for a little bit - that seems much easier.

    I'm going out of town this weekend so I'll take another look Sunday when I get back home.

    LOL....Ive purchased close to $20,000 worth, the $4k is just what I took with me to AFG. I do alot of buying and selling.

    Fasttech has nothing that I use.....from my understanding its beginner and knock off/clone gear. Nothing wrong with that...I just like things to work without issues, dont feel cheap, and not have to constantly replace my gear.

    Besides....Saving $2k a year in cigs...I can spend that on some quality stuff instead.

    I'm new to e-cigs and I'm not up on all the lingo. I started with White Cloud e-cigs that require a cartridge, I purchased another system from Fasttech with the glass part you put the juice in. The White Cloud batteries are rated at 200 (whatever, I'm ignorant of this stuff), my new batteries are 900. I find the batteries will last well over a day compared to the White Cloud which I had to go through 3 or 4 batteries per day.

    My question is, how long should your juice last? My system holds 1.6 ml's max, I find I have to fill it several times a day. Is that normal?

    Once again, excuse my ignorance since I'm new to this. Just glad I can get off regular cigs.

    I have 100% faith in the quality of MBV's ingredients. Their turnaround time is fantastic for a custom e-juice.

    I've also enjoyed HeathersHeavenlyVapes.

    1.6ml would last me about 3 days. it takes me almost a week to drain an 3.5ml tank.

    I'm on the e-cigarette forums and there are some people there that vape a ton of juice a day. You're not vaping any more than those heavy hitters are. What is the nicotine level you are at?

    ^^^ That is the best part! I only smoked a pack every 3 days and I still spend less buying e-cig stuff than analogs.

    I've found that the blends seem to burn faster. With vg my 1.5 would last a few days. With 50/50 I can go through 1.6 quickly.

    Hey guys I have been a smoker for two years. American Spirits. But my habit is picking up a lot more since I have been back to school and starting Clinical Rotation in the Hospital. I need to get off these dam things as I have Asthma, and am a health professional, who should know better not to smoke these death sticks.

    I have tried electronic cigs before. Never really got into them. The taste is a little funky, and my teeth would tingle. My friend use to let me borrow his, I can't remember the name of Brand.

    I would go into an actual store that specializes in different types of ecigs. Some of the cigarette looking types aren't very good. You may have tried a bad one. You should be able to try them out before you buy.

    Will, what is your handle on ECF ? What other ecig forums are out there that can compare to ECF. I haven't been able to find any with nearly as much traffic.

    Working on closing a deal right now for a Diablo hybrid but added a couple more silver bullets to the stable this past week. The white and the chrome.

    Will use the same username as do I. ECF is the TacomaWorld of vaping, no others compare.
    As for juice consumption I go through at least 5mL of 24mg @ 50/50. I'm stepping it down to 18mg on my next order.
    A lot of contests on ECF and lately I've been lucky. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/pay-forward-pif/105214-contests.html
    So far I've won:
    Vamo V3 kit
    900mAh Vission Spinner
    Protank II with 5 pack of coils
    Viv Nova 5mL tank
    225mL of juice total
    and a Kick Ash T-shirt
    kicksomash_zps77536b2f_fe257b474665ece4b6864bef0987f01e8d5386c5.jpg

    I like the Protank II & can't wait to try some of the juices that need to go in it (Kanger T3s handled several juices on the "tank destroyer" list without problems) .
    The Spinner got here 2 days before I needed it (ego died) and will be my work vaper so the Vamo can stay home.
