Is there a market for old mech mods and RBA’s?

[lostinleipzig]

Hi all,

Been a looooong while since I posted!

I recently fell off the vape wagon due to a heavy night out and a couple of those terrible disposables.

I have been using these refillable pod systems which aren’t bad but as a result I have dug out my old kit and can’t believe just how much stuff I had.

There is a lot of crap, however I have what I would consider a couple of gems. Is there a market for these things? For example I have an original Marquis and Velocity dripper from dino. Mech wise an original Nemisis and a boxed mod from MCR.

I think I am going to dig out my coil master kit and put a coil in the Marquis today and run it off my Akuma mech, just to remind myself what flavour is!

Be interested to hear what people think about the old kit today.

Tried one once to see what they hype was all about after running out of batteries and not wanting to walk the 10 mins home from the pub. Honestly can't see what all the fuss is about. They last a couple of hours if your a heavy vapour and then what? Chuck it away and spend another 6 or 7 quid. Fags are cheaper going by that costing lol.

There is a thread on here for buy and sell but you need to have made 100 posts+ before you can gain access.

Hope the rebuild and clean went well.

There is a market, even on EBay. But best bet is to get 100, genuine, posts then you get access to this sites marketplace, as mentioned.

Specific to mechs, the arse fell out that market years ago and they lost 2/3 of their value, so many companies have disappeared into the sands of time and the knowledge of how to use them safely has largely diminished as their relevance to todays scene has shrunk. There's a few of us diehards left but in the main it's yesterdays news.

Sadly yes have to agree. But you can't beat a decent mech imho. That's why I've kept hold of mine. Never know the market may come back at some point.

Well, been a while since I have wound coils, didn’t get the Marquis going as well as I would like, ran out of wire! However the old Kayfun lite is going well with a .8 ni80 build! I tried lower but it couldn’t keep the wick wet enough!

I'm always interested in old RDA's

Well when I hit 100 posts. I‘ll make a list of what I have. There are what I would consider som classics from 2014–17. A few need some new o rings, I will mention it in the list.

I was lucky back then and travelling to the states a lot so got most of my gear from there.

Shame about the Mech scene dying out. It was what got me into vaping as a hobby.

It’s not the same vibe now.

Feel you on that one. The vaping market is now a wash of dispos and pods. I even spent most of my time avoiding boros and the billet box. How ever have succumbed to hype and love them.

But they will never replace a decent build in a genny for flavour. Or an RDA for production. Sadly I feel the golden age of vaping has been and gone. Thanks to the so called article 20 of the T.P.D.

But luckily we still have our mechs and older mods, and even our 72MG nicotine base to make our own liquids.

We can keep using our RDA's on our mech mods for ever as long as we maintain them, what was article 20? I do remember the TPD coming in as I stocked up with 4 litres of 72MG nicotine base to keep me going, I still have loads left.
