Vaporesso's Target mini mod and guardian tank



Vaporesso. A new name for me when i fell in love with how the tank produces flavor, yet still blow clouds. This is my first mod from vaporesso and i am going to review their mini mod and mini tank or guardian tank.
Specs:
Target mini mod, built in battery, fires up to 40w and small/compact. Tc mode, watt mode, 2 memory modes.
Guardian tank, upper flow air vents, antibspill, reverse thread head, 510 connector and driptip. SS316 coils running .5ohm

Wismec rx2/3 review


Well Wismec has done it again!. Another product for the reuleux. In general. Its an upgrade version of the rx200s where it can be compact or bulky. In this picture i am using the 2 battery config, quad clapton with .4 ohm. Still is epic to vape when you can adjust the top airflow using the indestructible atty.

Well i'll just describe it in brief
Pros:
1.design - the reuleux is straight foward like the name describes. The shape of the mod from top view or bottom view.
Well designed for a 3 battery mod with more stable push of volts(like what i have read in other reviews) however this mod which is an innovate from its predecessors (rx200,dna200 then rx200s) they decided to give it more flexibility whereby it has a 2 battery or 3battery option.
2. Bigger screen and more indicators. - the screen ia similar to the rx200s functions are also similar. They claim that when you use 2 batteries it only goes to 150w while in 3 batt it goes to 200w.
You can change the battety indicator from icon to %. 
3. Battery and ohm, watt limit - depends on your battery and then ohm of your atty the watt will limit the max watts. 
4. Colours - has great colours, for a modern or rugged mod.
5. Chipset - while the rx2/3, rx200 and rx200s is made by joyetech, you know that there is quality. Joyetech was well known for their evic, egrip, evic vt. For me, joyetech is one of the pioneers in the vaping scene.
6. Out of the box - you dont have to buy the back covers for the rx2/3. It is given in the box for optional 2 batt and 3 batt configuration. Plus charging or upgrading wire and manuals.
7. Firmware and support - wismec website gives latest firmware update for all its mod. Unless its a mech mod.
8. Great packaging and presentation of product - good box where you can keep your spares inside. Has basic startup manuals.
Cons:
1. new click battery cover - theres a newclick button feature at the bottom of the mod to release the battery cover. Athough its easy to open, putting the cover back in will take more time as there are slots that need to be allign in order to get the cover secured. Unlike the rx200 and rx300s the battery cover uses magnets.
2. bottom of the mod - you can easily scratch the bottom of the mod. This is not just this model but goes to all the reuleux models.
3. 310 connector - the atty screws right on top of your firing button, displays and up and down button. So if you have an overdrip or leaking tank its prone to have ejuice seep to your buttons. This is also similar to the other models. It might be useful to have groves near the atty screw in area or relocate the screw area away from the buttons.

4 the up and down button - although the new one is one long thick button, i prefer the two small one for increasing and decreasing the watt or temp.

Ok thats all i would say about the mod. Still the pros are more than the cons.  And the cons are things that i might say i can live with. Thanks for reading.

what was your first vaping equipment? how i started out, my perceptions towards vaping

I still remember like it was yesterday. My brother bought me a vape pen, clearomizers was the atomizers and e-liquids was "liqua" and "dekang" (if i'm not mistaken). those equipment used to cost a lot as i transition form smoking to vaping.

My set of pen vaporizer costs me 40 to 50 dollars,
My liquid, which i remember was 12mg nic, 9mg and 6mg (to experiment with nicotine fix)15 dollars  for a 10ml bottle. It was a pain for the wallet but i still remember the idea of quitting smoking.

What i found was simply that if you plan to stop smoking, Don't just get a single mg liquid, get the variations of mg to get the right fix even if you have to get a 22mg. Take note the mg is according to the volume of the liquid.Nowadays the usual volume would be 30ml, so simply imagine the whole 12mg in a 30ml bottle and compare that to one stick of cigarette. (take note 4444 chemicals in a cigerette and 4 chemicals including nicotine in vaporisers). it was still a gamble as earlier i didn't know if vaping can cause health problems.So what i did was educate myself:

i used to think that vapor can build up in your lungs,
this was answered when i read a post about going to mountains and cool places. so when you vape there you produce more vapor due to water vapor hahahha. So vapor is harmless to the lungs unlike smoke. there was a fact that every 8 hours a smoker's bronchi (internal lung) can regenerate if he/she stops smoking.this fact is what pushes me to stop smoking and try the new idea of vaping.

what is contained in e-liquid? well simply = PG. VG. Nic. Flavor.

PG or proplene glycol is radiator antifreeze?
lol this one is hectic for me to find out the myths of the cheical as i am very cautious about the chemicals i take in my body, but before it was a gamble rather than taking cyanide, pesticides and other dangerous chemicals from cigarette smoke. Eventually the PG used in eliquids are food grade. also used in shampoos, soaps, athsma inhalers, medicine, even in food itself.

VG or Vegetable Glycol simply says its from plants.
well i was less hectic about VG as its always used in baking products. people who are allergic to PG can make a 100%VG based eliquid which consists of VG,NIC,flavor and distilled water to make VG less viscous.

Nicotine. also found in cigarettes
well this is the why we can't leave smoking, but when your smoking your inhaling it, in vaping your like drinking or eating it (ingesting). In big amounts it is really toxic.
but something to consider, think about sugar. too much sugar you will get diabetic. so we don't eventually overdose ourselves with eating sugary foods throughout the day. so moderation is key!
helpful reading about nicotine:

negatives about nicotine:

Flavor derived from baking products
all the flavors i heard has no problems except (yes) "butterscotch and corn flavors" which might have a chemical called "diacetyl" causing popcorn lung. However i am not a fan of both these flavors even so i would advise to not use them. well eventually smoking does more harm giving you lung cancer.

something to read on this:
http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/chemicals-e-cigarette-flavors-may-cause-popcorn-lung/

so when you start considering on transition to vaping think of it having less cautious things you take in your body smoking (4444 chemicals) vaping (4 chemicals)

ah something i might need to add about nicotine:
http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199308053290619#t=article

so if they say nicotine is 100% bad they might ban some vegtables, especially eggplants :)

ok back to the story of how i began vaping and stopped smoking.

1st day i still bought a pack of cigs, opened it smoked a stick to eventually officially last stick of my life before i change.(i actually smoke again, but regretted)

started that day with my vape pen. the idea of using tanks (clearomizers) where i used 3 tanks each with difference in mgs from 6 to 9 to 12.

all went well that day until.... my vape pen batteries run out. i had only 1 vape pen which would take 6 hours minimum to charge to full (yes 6 hours!!!!!) it was to the point that i was looking at my vape pen indicator to turn green(charged) from red (charging).

this was when i started to try to smoke... hahahha yes the first day of determination i tried to smoke again. i started to notice the burnt flavor, which was displeasing. eventually that day went on with waiting for my vape pen to charge :)

i must add:
use 12 mg or higher when you wake up from bed, after meals, or when your stressed out a bit. rarely or turn to second less strength nic like a 9 mg. use 6 mgs for casual vaping like taking, taking smoke breaks at long time. Just use logic for the strengths. eventually you'll cut down on the mgs slowly. NEVER stop completely with no mgs as this may make you dizzy or even imbalanced. Also drink coffee and always bring a stash of sweets as tar might play with your sugar level and give a "rego" effect so u need sweets to get your sugar levelled.

next would be about the kinds of accessories to expect (mods,gear etc)
