Well everyone, I'm giving this another shot and this time, I think I have my wife onboard with me.
a couple weeks ago, I ran out of cigarettes and just couldn't bring myself to go spend another $50 on another carton. So I decided to pull my IPV3 out with the Kanger Sub Tank Mini and try it out again. Before, it had a horrible taste and I just didn't want to hit it that much. Took a couple tokes off of it and it's the same taste.
I did this for about a day or so then had to have another cigarette. Smoked one and went back to the horrible taste like I was lighting up for the first time. Just a bad taste. so I stuck with the vape.
There was just something missing with the Mint Chocolate Chip that I have been hitting for a very long time. So I broke down and went to the vape shop I said I would never go to again and got my good ole Cinnamon Red Hot flavor. This time though, instead of 24mg Nic, I got 18mg. I stuck this into an Aspire Nautilus with a 1.8Ω coil and set my little MVP V2 to 8w and started toking on it. Oh yes, this is the flavor that I remember quitting on when I first quit.
But I just couldn't kick the habbit of picking up a cigarette. Granted, I still hadn't purchased a pack for myself, but I kept stealing them from the wife. But only one or two a day, so I was doing MUCH better than the 1.5 to 2 packs a day!
The more I kept hitting the CRH (Cinnamon Red Hot), and the less I was smoking, the better my MCC (Mint Chocolate Chip) tasted. But I had an issue, my MCC was too high in PG and I wanted a bit more VG but the coils I had in my Kanger Sub Tank wouldn't wick the thicker liquid. So I started looking for a new tank. Then I found out that Kanger came out with a new OCC (Organic Cotton Coil) which instead of having a horizontal coil where the air had to go around the sides of the coil and blocked the fluid hole too much, to a vertical coil where the air goes right down the center of the coil. This gives much better flavor and even better yet, larger holes for the liquid to go into which is better for the thicker liquid.
I stuck that coil into my sub tank and yup, this was better. But, I was still carrying that large and heavy IPV3 and I wanted something smaller. Then I remembered Kanger came out with a new mod and tank. The mod is a KBox Mini and the tank is still the Sub Tank Mini, but this time it's black and comes stock with the vertical OCC's. It's a 50w mod which will fire down to a 0.3Ω coil. And comes stock with a 0.5Ω coil which is perfect.
I shopped around everywhere trying to find this mod, which bundled together is called a Subox (pronounced Sub Box). I called one place and they said they would have it in the morning (this was on a Sunday). So Monday morning, I went up there in hopes to have it in my hand when I left. I walked in, they had it, handed it to me and Oh yes, this was it! I asked "how much as you getting for this mod?" and they replied "we are getting $149.99". Oh yeah, I lost it! I told them "you can get this for $79.99 all over the place!". Their response was "I just checked the wholesale website and they have it for that price, but you can't buy it for that". I politely dropped that box on the floor and said I wouldn't be back to get ripped off. lol. From there, I stopped at a place by a BBQ joint and they just sold their last one 15 minutes earlier, dammit!
So heading to the house to order it online (for $79) I rememberd the little vape shop in Noble where I live. I stopped in and there it was, right in the case as you walk in. I asked to see it, held it, loved it and said "I will take it, how much". They said "$99.99". Ugh... I told them that the shop I had just left was selling it for $79.99 with a 10% discount and would like to give this shop my money since I live here. After some phone calls, they gave it to me for this price. Since they gave me the extra 10% off, I decided to try some of their "Premium" flavors and left with one called Suicide Squeeze. It was good when I started out with it, and I had him fill up the tank I just purcahsed. I left and headed back to the house.
Once I was at the house, I was already tired of the flavor lol. So I cleaned out the tank and put my good ole MCC back in it (same coil). I decided to take my old Sub Tank and put this new juice in it, and I gave it to the wife. She actually liked it. But continued to smoke. So I kept pressing that she quit with me. She was really liking the flavor and was not hitting the other flavor that she liked. And it had cut her back quite a bit.
Last night, she told me that actually got in her car to head to the store to get a pack, but turned around and came back before she got there. Maybe, just maybe she is going to quit with me this time! I know it's getting a little easier for me each day. I'm sucking down about 15ml of juice a day though, but I'm not smoking.
I did make a new order from my supplier for some more MCC as well as some watermelon (been wanting to try it), two different kinds of sweetener and two different kinds of CRH. I want to see if I can completely get away from the shops inflated prices for juice and only use them for new mods and tanks.
I'm really hoping this one sticks this time. I have a vape channel that has a few hundred subscribers and I'm thinking about perusing this a little further with reviews and how to's. Just one more thing on my plate with everything that is already going on lol. But lets face it, doing things with vaping is fun! Especially when it's working! AGAIN!!!
