Anyone Know Anything About The Vapemaster Fury 220w?

So why don't some of us old-timers reminisce a little bit about how it used to be....

--I remember when new members would be struggling constantly trying to find the path to a satisfying vape
--I remember when the 510 came on the scene, with a somewhat lower resistance atomizer, and new vapers started having increased success
--I remember when 510 cartridge mods were all the rage, as folks kept trying to find a good way to continue getting those consistently good vapes
--I remember when the KR808D came on the scene, and cartomizers started pushing new vaper success rates even higher
--I remember the ensuing 510 vs KR808D wars
--I remember the Boge Cartomizers for the 510 models that may well have turned the tide towards 510 models
--I remember when low-resistance (LR) atomizers came on the scene and the ability to vary your "power" became a reality
--I remember the FDA court case, and the formation of CASAA from members on this very forum
--I remember when CASAA started working closely with long-time harm-reduction advocates, thus giving long-time THR advocates new life and consumer backing
--I remember when the Chuck came out with custom graphics
--I remember the Chuck vs Silver Bullet wars
--I remember when the Reo Mods came out, and took dripping to a whole new level
--I remember when Egos came out and new vaper success started to skyrocket
--I remember the Buzz, which if I remember correctly, started the variable voltage revolution
--I remember when the Provari came out and started the variable voltage wars
--I remember when the Nhaler came out with the Darwin and started the variable wattage vs variable voltage wars

And I look at that the New Members sub-forum these days, and find very few struggling at first vape anymore.
Success, now, is nearly guaranteed.

That's progress.



What do you all remember?  

Hello,
It's been a few years since I joined the vape community. For the whole time I bought only new vapes, as older ones were left behind. Getting rid of my old vapes and buying new ones.

But recently it all changed, since I decided I'll try restoring old vapes!
That's the thing, people scratch them, maintain poorly them, but they're still usable. Their prices drop dramatically with their looks. But they still work fine!

So I decided on restoring scratched, beat up vapes and giving them a whole new look!



So this is a greatly aged, one of the first versions of Smok Alien 220W from 2016! It originates from the UK, coming all the way to Baltic states. It looks all beat up, got it for a really good price!



Did a paint job on the line metal, brushing the buttons as well as sanding down the metal. Wanted to do a Storm Trooper replica, but the paint started sagging, and overall, was an awful paint.



Next one is a Joyetech eVic Mini, don't have a lot of pictures of it, but overall was a scratched, bruised vape. So I sanded it down, painted it and gave it a new look!



The third one in progress is another Smok Alien 220W



Hopefully will turn out just as imagined! Stay tuned!  

Hey Sonny do you remember when?.

Your very first ecig was a Cig Look alike and it was a race to get the battery recharged before you were done vaping the other.
Everyone was trying Fluval as a wick
Atomizer and cartridge came separately and you stuck a straw down the side for better wicking
Spending $50.00 for an E-Cigar that would only last 2 weeks.
Buying a Prodigy and the owner telling you that you were the only one having problems.
Short circuiting a battery with change in your pocket. Ouch
Buying a Ecig without a button and having the wind from your Car Window setting it off.
Buying a Provari because it was the first reliable VV Unit.
Buying a Volcano like unit, opening your Vivi Nova and instead of unscrewing the cap, you took it apart flooding your unit. [Fluid leaked through the holes] then when you fired it up. The whole APV started to smoke!

Let's take a walk down memory lane, share your experiences.  

Hi, a few weeks ago i just switched from a old Luxe to the new Vaporesso Luxe II 220w kit and in like two weeks i managed to melt 3x GT coils(GT, GT2 and GT4) then i switched to my old atomizer from the previous mod and so far, besides not having a good flavour or flow it at least works.
Any tips on what the problem may be?  

I was introduced to it one day in the line at Dollar General. I saw a Krave It Ecig for 7 dollars and thought why not? IT didn't taste good at all but it piqued my curiousity and I started researching.

I have went through all the steps and now I can say I have not had a cigarette for almost 3 years and I make my own juice and wrap my own coils. I actually still have that Krave it Ecig and plan to keep it as a reminder.  

You know it just dawned on me what this vaping reminds me of..Does any remember the stereo wars of 80s and 90s.People wanting bigger clouds and pvs putting out as much power as a small microwaves reminds me of that time..you know you had the people turning their whole back seat into speakers wanting bigger and bigger amps had to reinforce their windows to keep from blowing them out,if it couldn't bust your eardrums it wasn't loud enough..I remember they had to pass noise ordinances cause it was disturbing people ..just a thought  

All this talk about the old days of ECF got me to wondering if I could find my old avatar. It's still out there. Here it is, and as you can see it no longer suits me. I out grew her but still fondly remember her.
 

Checked out the local vape shops today. Found the rda I been wanting. A Hellvape Rebirth. Single coil adjustable draw. Didn’t have to order it. Now I can stop bugging everyone.
And a Smok Mag P3 followed me home. Plus found a RY4 I can live with. Life is good.  

Hey guys. I've been into vaping since 2009 originally, but really got into it around 2013. From 2013 to 2015 alone, I've seen a tremendous change in the community. Some of this change is extremely positive. For instance, the race to create better technology and new types of devices. From that race has come many awesome companies, with new devices, and new types of devices popping up literally overnight.

Competition is a GOOD thing, for the consumer.


However, I am wondering about the wattage race. The companies who make bats competing to make a higher wattage device. I remember when the DNA20 first came out. I remember thinking, that's awesome, but will anyone ever need 20 watts? Then the dna30 came out. It wasn't long after, that we saw our first 50watt box mod. When a 100watt box mod came out, I thought they were NUTS. Surely no one would EVER need 100watts.

Now, we have what? 150watt devices. 200watt devices. Where does it stop?


At some point, the higher wattages won't keep equaling better quality vape. In fact, I think we already reached that point a while back. I would say 100watts would be a reasonable cut off point, but then again, who am I to say?


At what point does vaping cease to be a smoking alternative, and become a hobby? At what point does vaping cease to be a hobby, and become a SPORT?

I get it......as with any technology ,there will always be a small group within the community that wishes to take things to the extreme. These are the people who take vaping from a simple hobby, to literally a "sport".


For me, vaping isn't a sport. It is a hobby. I don't see the appeal of vaping as a sport, but I have no desire to limit other people's imaginations, so long as they are careful, safe, and don't expose themselves or others to unnecessary harm.





I will say this so. For those of us who vape as a hobby. What does higher wattages do for you? I have a Sigelei 100watt box mod.....and I run kayfuns, RBAs, an Atlantis, and an arctic on it. Even running at my arctic at 0.2ohms , I never need to go past 50watts.

Also, I don't even buy 0.2 ohm coils anymore. For me personally, I find flavor to really come out at HIGHER ohms than that. I find the BEST flavor comes in at 0.5-1ohm. So what is the point of going past that? Just to increase the amount of vapor?




I'm just trying to understand why the vape community is going the way its going. What is the fascination with higher wattages outside of the tiny SPORT vaping sub-group?  

Hello everyone!

I have a smok al85 which i have owned for a good 2 years or so and ive been pretty happy with it. However i'd like to upgrade to a new mod kit- from research i have found 2 i like a lot- the vaporesso gen and luxe nano.

I need help choosing the right one- With a 220W mod, am i able to vape at 50- 60w with the appropriate coil without sacrificing flavour?

I like the nano, but i hear the battery is pretty bad, however it is cheaper than the Gen.

If anyone can help me out i'd very much appreciate it~
Thank you!
