  1. I want to buy a new vape.
  2.  
  3. Reasoning: My 30w iStick is dying in minutes running a sub-ohm tank at full power.
  4. The little TOGO guy is a solid backup, but my 'main rig' sucks.
  5. I want to try dripping, and I want my battery to last long enough that I don't
  6. have to scavenge for outlets every time I go anywhere. These rigs should
  7. accomplish that. Also the Picos are fucking tiny and rigged up with all kinds
  8. of safety features like temperature monitoring and stuff that shuts it down
  9. before it fucks up, and they come in hot pink, amongst other colours, so fuck yeah..

  50. $113
  51. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  52. Phatboy (some dude's bedroom)
  53.  
  54. $40? I'm guessing an iStick Power 80w - it's not listed on his
  55. website, and I didn't see a box label. Maybe a clone?
  56. He just said, "here, this is an iStick, it's 80w internal"
  57. Then he hummed and hawwed for a minute and said he could do
  58. $40 for it. I told him I'd think about it and got the fuck out.
  59. I used to be a salesman. I know what a pitch smells like.
  60. https://www.canvape.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=IstickipowerA ($47 at that place, different store)
  61.  
  62. $34.99 Tsunami RDA
  63. http://phatboyevapes.com/products/geekvape-tsunami-rda
  64.  
  65. +$10 HST
  66.  
  67. $85
  68. (but only because he wants to sell me some sketchy old,
  69. possibly lightly used, internal-battery mod that doesn't
  70. require a high-end battery, otherwise I can't get a mod
  71. from him for less than $65 that will do the trick, and
  72. that would require a battery purchase as well)
  73.  
  74. - - - - - - - - -
  75.  
  76. Alternatively at Phatboy (going from listed products)
  77.  
  78. $64.99 Kanger KBox 70w (he hasn't got any mods cheaper than this other than a 40w listed)
  79. http://phatboyevapes.com/products/kangertech-kbox-70w
  80. or
  81. $64.99 iStick Pico 75w Starter Kit (including a mediocre tank)
  82. http://phatboyevapes.com/products/eleaf-istick-pico-75w-starter-kit
  83.  
  84. so that plus the RDA
  85. +$13 HST
  86.  
  87. $113 still plus the battery though
  88. $130 with the fancy battery
  89. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  90.  
  91. These are the best prices I've found. I want to order from Vapor North
  92. and then buy a battery somewhere in town.
