Piece of hardware that you will never let go

[Tameem Jedaar]

Not sure if such a thread exist...

What is that piece of hardware amongst the vape family that you will never let go of? No matter the age, quality or condition. Can be atomizer or mod.What about it does it make it irreplaceable or invaluable to you?

Mine is the OG avo 24 RDTA. Still set him up every so 2 months for a week or two to just bring back those old nostalgic days from when i started out vaping..

Lovely thread @Tameem Jedaar !

Avo24 is super

On my side it would be my Reo/RM2 - for its mouth to lung perfection on strong tobaccoes
And my trusty Evod for MTL fruity menthol
And also my trusty Subtank Mini - for its reliability with decent flavour

There are a few others.

I get so attached to some of my gear that the thought of selling it makes me very uncomfortable - lol

Nothing.
I really love the gear I currently have but I know myself... given a long enough timeline I will part with it eventually.
I will upgrade to something newer/better/different and I don't like having things just sitting around collecting dust.

Grimm Greens Recoil V1 !

i have 2

I would not part with my Mason 24 RDA for the simple reason that it has helped me take solid rankings in cloud comps,not to mention my first win.

Over and above this,I would not get rid of my Tesla Invader 2/3 for similar reasons-it has helped me win comps and it is probably the hardest hitting series mod that I have personally come across.

I am simply too attached to these 2 items and even if I upgrade in the future,I would keep them for sentimental reasons

I am one of those hoarder tipe vapers so most probably none of my gear that I have used will be let go although I sold something for the first time since I have started vaping a pico squeeze but did not use it before I sold it or else it would have stayed.

One setup that will never be sold or given away etc. Is my original goon 24mm and my minikin v2. The goon is just one of my favorite rdas and I love it to bits compare all other rdas to its flavour and simplicity to build. The minikin was a gift from a friend and also holds a special place in my collection but it is an outstanding mod.

The latest addition to my collection that also holds a special place and wont leave ever is my newly acquired 3io rdta. This thing just delivers on flavour and I am reluctant to say but it might outperform the goon on the flavour department. Just need to get the rdta feature to work lol.

Cool thread. For me it would be my trusty Hana mod which I have owned for around 3 years and is still in service, and my sub tank minis with Trinity bell caps, which I still consider to be excellent little tanks. I generally do not sell gear that is not being used, I pass it on to family/friends to try and spread the vaping gospel.

 

[Halfdaft]

Mine would be my OG Goon 24. By far one of the most versatile pieces of gear I've ever owned. It can do flavour and clouds and doesn't stop working!
I may need to replace the clamps soon though...

 

[Mahir]

Hadaly RDA

 

[Bizkuit]

My Hotcig r150 and avo24. The rest of my vape gear is fair game.

 

[Kalashnikov]

Mine has to be the split-atty. Havent gotten better flavour from anything else.

Nice thread.

For me it has to be my subtank minis. Released almost three years ago, they were probably the first tank to offer prebuilt coils, and the option to build your own on a RBA base. This was truly groundbreaking stuff.

Do yourself a favour and look at some of the January 2015 reviews of the subtank mini. Some reviewers speak of "...massive airflow...and ...huge bore drip tip". Little did they know that we now have drip tips the size of dustbin lids, and tornado volume airflow. Rip Trippers uses the "new" blue screwdriver to wrap a coil. Only three years ago, but geological time in terms of vaping !


As one vaping journalist says, "...they owe it all to the Subtank Mini for breaking down the barrier and showing vapers that you can have your cake and eat it too....This is a must own device for all vaping aficionados. It's non-negotiable".

I still use my top and sub tanks from time to time. The flavor is excellent (given their vintage status) and for a low wattage DL vape they are still up there.

How many three year old RTAs are still regularly used today ?

Big respect for the Subtank Mini @Puff the Magic Dragon
Thanks for posting - it was a great read
Love that device!

OG Avo24 for me!.
And my raw stripped hohm slice will sit in the toolbox as a backup to a backup.

And the Leprechaun squonker because I had my name engraved so now can't sell it to anyone

Great thread @Tameem Jedaar

I couldn't let go of my 2 Reo SL's and O16's, it's just not happening lol

And of course my Atomic RDA which was my first dripper, thanks to a pif from Gazzacpt, the man, the myth, the legend

 

[Huffapuff]

Tough question! I'd probably hang on to my Reo until the end of time - because it'll most likely still be around till the end of time!

But I still have my original griffin 22mm. That's where it started for me. A friend of mine is using it at the moment, but I'll never get rid of it.

 

[Scissorhands]

Uhhh . . . Only one?

Im going with the OL16

Everything has some room for improvement but the OL16 has been perfected for its purpose imo

Griffin 22 was amazing, better than most of the new RTAs coming out of China

I am one foot in this camp. Currently considering trying out a new dripper. Looking for some recommendations..#flavourchase

My Reos and don't ask me to choose one

 

[Rob Fisher]

Avril my engraved REO. No pics because I’m on a boat.

Was chatting to @TheV this afternoon and I came to the conclusion that 2 BBs, my 2 sqounkers (VTInbox & Therion) and two other “normal” mods are the minimum that I can get away with. I had the experience of my only mod packing up here in Nigeria, and I will never be stranded like that again.
