Think I'm around 6 years w/o a cigarette thanks to this thread. It's funny how that's considered "old school." Back then, getting a Joyetech 900 mah w/ a 1.5 mL tank was about $75 + juice, lol. My first tank was the "new" Aspire BTC, which was among the first bottom feed tanks. My second mod was that Innokin batton thing that went up to 14 W and wouldn't fire sub-Ohm, lol.
My current setup is an iStick Pico w/ a Crius tank, built with premade Clapton coils. I really should replace the Pico, but it's been going strong for over a year and just don't see a reason to replace it yet. When I see other vapers or walk into a vape shop, they all assume I'm a newb, but really, who needs 80 watts and 8 coils to get a decent vape?
BTW, I didn't realize this, but Provari closed it's doors back in February, and wanted to share that here.
