To be honest, 7 out of 10 draws on mine aren't inhaled. I started smoking with cigars, and it's not been a challenge to get back into that style of 'smoking'.

What's the point of using it then?

I smoked cigars for many years and always inhaled.
Just saying...

I finally remembered to upload some pictures of my first box mod, Triple B. In case anyone is curious, I called it Triple B because: it's a Box, it's Big and it's Black Anyway, here are a couple of photo's of Triple B, next to the itaste MVP 2, so you can compare the size. flickr linkI'm also contemplating getting another atomiser. It's got to be rebuildable, but I'm trying to decide if a dripper is going to be too much faffing about. What are the cool kids using these day, guys? Edit to add: I don't use that crappy little plastic thing with the Triple B, but I don't want to leave it with nothing on top. I've uploaded some more images, this time with the Kayfun on top. And one of me holding Triple B.

I just ordered one of these: LOONG FOGGER V5.0 RBA (REBUILDABLE ATOMISER TANK) NEW VERSION but don't tell the wife! She think's I ordered some wire, for £1.95, which I did, but I forgot to mention the shiny that I got with it

I didn't really get on with my v4 trying to set it up for a dual coil, stuck a protank grommit down one airhole and set it up single and it was much better, still stick to the Taifun's though, picked up a RDA kit for one that had a broken shroud so it's still in use  That box mod is a beast! does it run off car batteries?!?! I'd probably have gone for a 510 connection and used a 510/ego adapter so everything sits more flush though, but that'd be the OCD talking!

The smaller of the two boxes is the one which holds the batteries, which are dual 18650s.
I had intended to use only the smaller box, but the circuit board was a couple of mm too big, and I though sod it, it's a prototype, so I just bought a cheap box from Maplin and bolted them together.
On the bright side, it does go for several days without charge.
Edit to add: I should point out that I only use Triple B at home.

You are so going to have to make sure you've got that with you when I see you next. It looks like fun. What's the wattage range on it?

Not sure about the wattage, now you mention it... I adjust the voltage. Let me know when you're in town next, and I'll be sure to have it with me.

What's the pcb rated for? Will it do low resistance coils?

The one I'm using at the moment is 1.8 ohms and it's fine with that. Not sure about the PCB rating. I'll have to look that up when I get a minute. Edit to add: HERE is the link to the board I used. When you buy from Stealthvape you can expect excellent service and products of genuine quality. Perfect for making your first variable voltage mod, the LM2596 provides voltages up to 2v below the input voltage. So if you have two batteries, each charged at 4.2v, your maximum voltage will be (2x4.2v - 2v) 6.4v and will drop accordingly as you drain the batteries. It is recommended that a heatsink is used to prolong the life of this board, especially if used at higher voltages. Conversion efficiency: Up to 92% (output voltage higher, the higher the efficiency) Non-Synchronous Rectification Non-isolated step-down module (buck) Short circuit protection Operating temperature: Industrial grade (-40 to +85 ) (output power 10W or less) Full load temperature rise: 40 Load regulation: ± 0.5% Voltage regulation: ± 2.5% Dynamic response speed: 5% 200uS Specification: Input voltage:4.5-40V Output voltage:1.5-35V(Adjustable) Output current: Rated current is 2A,maximum 3A (Additional heatsink is required) Dimension:43*20*14mm(L*W*H)
