Even more cost effective and they throw off lots of vapour. Not tried a "genesis" style rebuildable one yet, but will write a review here when I get hold of one.

And this is the one I'm trying to get hold of, the AC9.

Ahead of you, I plan to fire up my lathe (yes I have one, but need a friend to help me) I'm gonna make my own soon, from scratch.
I want a Star wars light saber Vape
-
Enough of the photos, vids and chat, where are the anatomically correct models and renders.
-
lol I bet Pete renders his first. The vapes are perfect for rendering; cool materials,concave/convex surfaces, bit of SSS in the mouthpiece!
I have FINALLY found a supplier of an awesome rebuildable atomizer. It's called the RSST, from China. (Rebuildable Stainless Steel Tank).
Only problem is they will only ship me 30 as per minimum order. So looks like I'll be selling the 29 spare!

Cool, I saw those in my Vape store, very popular starting setup they said.
I sure hope so... I browsed 4 different shops and after some research I decided to go with the eGo package...
@solo said:
You gonna love it, did you know that vaping has an over 80% success rate (so they said) everyone that I have met so far (vapers) all quit from day one. I still have zero desire for a smoke, this shit works.
Sure sounds very promising and I hope I'll be among the 80%...
The most important part - I believe - is that I have the right "setting/attitude" to want to stop...
@solo said:
Oh Frederick, what strength nicotine did you get? I suggest 24mg to start, it's perfect for quitting and then as time goes you can decrease it as needed.
The strongest I could get was 18mg...
Don't know if this is something related to country regulations...!?
I use to smoke app. 15 Marlboro Gold a day... -
18mg is fine. good hit on the throat. I quit on 18 mg no problems. Now I have 12 mg in my other vape to cut down even more. I'd say if you smoke 20 or over, go for 24mg. If you smoke lights and less than 20 a day then 18mg is perfect IMO.
I had the worst possible "setting" to quit but still managed. Felt like life was really kicking me down past few weeks, one disaster after another......but never bought a packet of cigarettes.
I spoke to my father's cancer consultant and he puts nicotine in the same category as caffeine in terms of its negative effects. So don't listen to the anti-nicotine brigade, I heard this from someone in the most senior medical position you can hold in the UK.

So after some research, it appears the rebuildable atomizers such as the AC9 and RSST can be a nightmare to setup properly. Also,the stainless steel wick has been known to cause headaches, which I am prone to so best to avoid.
I am now looking at the Svoemesto Kayfun as recommended on the cloud9vaping forum. It's completely rebuildable but uses a silica wick, so no headache! The flavour/vape production are apparently great but I can't confirm yet.
Here it is in a couple of setups, same Kayfun atomiser, just different batteries/covers.
So Pete looks like I'll be getting the Provari too as it fits very nicely, you can also get a small ring so it sits completely flush. Provari is getting a good review everywhere from what I've seen.
I borrowed this photo from cloud9vaping that I found yesterday, very active and helpful forum.
So my next rig will look like the bottom one in the photo.
Although I will get all stainless finish and stainless mouthpiece too.

Great stuff, I love my Provari, here is an image of what I bought, I like the stainless tanks, lots of supplies and parts.
Red tank for Raspberry mint, clear tank for Camel lights, Black tank for tropical coconut and Cyan tank for premier menthol.
-
Do you really wish to see my pot kit too? I can take a picture if you want...
-
Wow quite a range of flavours you got there. It's good how your tanks come with spare atomizers. What's ya favourite flavour so far? or should i say favorite flavor
That's the reason I'm looking to buy a rebuildable, you only need to buy wick and wire instead of full cartomizers/atomizers. Very difficult to get hold of though, they are made by individuals instead of big companies so when stock arrives they sell out within minutes. I even had to subscribe to a newsletter so when stock arrives I can get one immediately!
-
Yeah, I have a good variety, so far my go to flavor is Camel lights aka Turkish blend, as it's the one that completely takes my cigarette cravings away. Every tank comes with 4 atomizers so I'm good for a long while, and my Vape store is 3 miles away and they have everything one can imagine so I'm good, oh, they also make custom vapes to order.
They had a Hookah vape as well as a few different skull shapes, a snake and a grenade one, nicely made but some of those custom ones cost $$$$$ -
Sounds awesome! The vaping community is just so helpful, they have vaping meets too. There is one in Dallas, so keep an eye out. Although sounds like that shop has everything you can imagine and staff to go with it! The shop I go to is tiny and only sell one device. So have you still remained smoke free? Glad you are enjoying your experience.
-
Still smoke free, 4 days and counting,last night we BBQ'ed with some smokers, I had no desires to stink like they do now that I can smell it.
-
Congratulations mate. They say after 4 days it's just psychological to go back to analogues. I don't envy smokers at all. I feel sorry for them stood outside bars/clubs/cafes, I'm thinking "dude, just have a vape!"
Strange how smell and taste return so quickly and yeah smoke STINKS!! really bad! After senses return to normal your body begins ejecting the old toxins almost immediately, lung and throat tissue begin to regenerate. Research suggests your lungs recover in half the time you have smoked. So, as I have smoked for 10 years, in 5 years I can assume my lungs will have fully recovered. Until that point you just get better and better...smoking is almost like self-inflicting an illness. Now you need to recover.
Got a new lease of life now, I'm noticing I don't get out of breath running/walking up the stairs. So embarrassing answering a phone panting because your VO2/haemoglobin levels are so badly affected! No more of that shit!
-
You guys have convinced me!
I'm starting up again so I can swap to the vape. -
-
:lol You crazy Box!To anyone looking for a high-end setup the Kayfun has an excellent name, in fact, I have seen no negative reviews.
For people in UK, cloud9vaping shop in London supply the Kayfun, but they get sold out IMMEDIATELY online. So, sign up to the SvoëMesto Kayfun Notification List to get news of stock delivery then pounce!! Sign up to the notification here:
So I will be getting a Provari V2.5 (like Pete's) and the Kayfun Atomizer. There is also a ring to make the provari fit flush to the Kayfun. I may get the Provari Mini if the battery lasts me all day,not sure yet.
Then all you ever have to buy is Nichrome wire and Silica wick....no more atomizers/cartomizers....you just coil on a new wire and wick (dirt cheap).
Shop links. I have absolutely no affiliation with any companies mentioned by the way, these are just the only guys who sell them in UK. You can buy the Provari anywhere with relative ease.

Provari ring:
Wire:

Don't even joke about it, someone from apple will see that and next thing you know everyone will be sucking on an iVape.
