What's In Your Hand Today?

Yeah , only picked it up this evening . Threw a quick MTL build into the RBA section and the flavour seems good and it's wicking fine .

I was just googling there to see if I could get a Qbix without having to chance the UK . Elite vapour might be able to order one in for me .

I was and still am interested in the Cthulhu mod but trying to order it from anywhere was just a hassle I couldn't be bothered with, this thing, I strolled into a shop in town and picked it up .

It's both smaller than I thought and yet bigger in the hand than it looks , I know thats an odd description but it is what it is . I'd still imagine it's a tidy size for a 21700 .

Another lad I know got a local shop to order one in for him and he asked them to get a second one for me . It was through the Alvini Vape stores , not sure if you have one of them near you .

Indeed, and the stream from UK shops has dried up due to custom concerns . We are left with no choice buy to look to the likes of France to feed our need .

No issues coming through customs ?

Hi, new here. This is going to be off-topic and I apologise for that, but it seems like the most active thread so I hope people don't mind me asking a single question. Been vaping for about 7 years now and I am feeling extremely dumb right now. I had no idea sites like lepetitvapoteur existed. I have been buying all my hardware in Ireland. Now, in fairness, I'm in no way as hardcore into the scene as a lot of you guys and gals, but I do mix my own e-liquid. I gave an RBA a few go's, but I could just tell, that irrespective of how much I would save, it could potentially be a very frustrating and fruitless project to embark upon. Plus I already have a bunch of hobbies that I enjoy and lately, I've just been vaping a heck of a lot less, plus, I have five tanks on the go (3 DTL, 2 MTL) so it takes me ages to go through any of my coils.

I used to visit a Discord channel for whatever the main vaping sub is on reddit, but it was full of Yanks, who basically looked down on any chipset that wasn't a DNA one, particularly the DNA 250C, which was their flagship product at the time. Every other tank or chipset I mentioned they casually dismissed as being fine if you were happy with a 'buck'n'boost' device. I looked into it and found a model and discovered that it came with a 32 page manual and regardless of the fact that I couldn't ever justify paying that much for a kit, I really don't need any close to that degree of functionality in my mod. I used to mess around with temperature control curves, but I after endlessly fiddling with it (it was on a notoriously bad for TC I've been told, the Revenger X) I just switched backed to vanilla VW. I've seen lots of photos of tanks, mods, and kits in this thread, that I heard frequently mentioned in the hardware discussions on discord, like the Kayfun and others that I've already forgotten. I just assumed they were US devices, and I was happy enough with my the brands available here.

Probably just as well, there would have been a time when I would be buying whatever was cool and exclusive. If it's your main hobby, and I know it's a lot of people's, go for it. I believe there was a UK site where you could buy parts to build your own mod, although I met a guy who did that about 6 years ago, so I guess it's nothing new.

Anyway, fascinating and great to find this community hiding out in the open. Hope you're a friendly bunch...

First off, you won't get banned from Adverts .

Secondly, most of the companies get/got around the TPD 2ml by either putting a rubber bung in the tank ( which could easily be removed ) or also including a bubble tank in the kit to up the capacity .

Pre Brexit I bought most of my gear from the UK , post Brexit...... I'm still trying to work it out but have used Lepetitevapoteur a few weeks back without issue and also used Nomnomz in the north for e-liquid .

Lastly, while very friendly, this poor community on Boards was getting quieter until the " Great Boards Upgrade " did it's best to hammer the last nail home .

Thank you for both of your replies.

Sorry to hear that the upgrade hit the user-base here so hard. I'm guessing it had more than a couple of 'teething' problems. Still, I'm glad I found this thread and some degree of activity.

With regards to buying flavours I used to use Chefs in the UK, then I switched to Nom-Nomz. Nom-Nomz has a fantastic selection, no doubt, but with a minimum order of £100 to qualify for free-delivery and the recent strength of Sterling, it's nowhere near as appealing as Chefs was when you only want a couple of flavours or some new PG or VG. Lepetitevapoteur seems like the perfect compromise and I'm really grateful to this thread for having alerted me to it.

Thanks, I tried this thread a couple of years ago, but never got any feedback. I'll probably end up selling on Ebay, or just holding on to it.

Any how, appreciate the replies!

The Vandy Vape Pulse AIO arrived yesterday. Nice piece of kit with everything included to get you up and running. Installed the included Ni80 coil in the deck and it's performing well. Nice saturated flavoursome vape.

A little bulkier in the hand than the Cthulhu due to it accommodating a 21700 but still comfortable.

Included drip tip wouldn't fit but I had spares,my only major concern is that the gasket between the deck and tank gives a very loose fit,not really a problem when everything is secured in place but could be an issue if removing tank from device especially if there's still juice in the tank.

Overall though a good value for money kit.

Just trying out a kanthal 0.9 coil in it at the moment for a mtl, it's got good flavour but too much air coming in even with the afc almost closed. It's definitely not a mtl deck for me anyway.

The qbix has a 0.8 insert which should give a proper mtl,also arriving here today or tomorrow hopefully.

Haha , I was just coming to post about the Qbix as well .

Yeah , it seems really good . I'm using the 1.2mm pin too and it's spot on for mtl draw for me . SS316L spaced 2.5 id coil and it is able to put out the right flavour on one of my hardest juices to get right . I have the Dotshell so getting the coil and wick right was easy as it is the exact same style .

If I can get my hands on a Cthulhu I'd definitely go with another Qbix . Aspire really hit it out of the park last year with their Neeko, Kumo and Qbix .

If you contact Vandy Vape they will send you on the new seal for the bottom of the Vessel tank that is supposed to cure the problem, I have one coming in the next few days .

I was eyeing that one up recently, was looking at a few solo 21700 mods, really wanted the Kroma 217 but can't seem to find it here mod only. Have spotted the kit for Kroma kit for €70 before postage - But I have enough tanks. Not paying almost €80 for s single batt mod!

Cheers for that! Never heard of this site, what are they like for delivery? I see they have a free delivery option, I don't mind anything up to a week. I'm guessing they run out of France?

Also .. everytime I check a new site out I start looking at more stuffs lol, spotting some pod systems I wouldn't mind trying
