Hi There @theDuke and "Welcome Aboard!"
One thing as everything else you mentioned has been addressed
e-Pipes: As an Ex Pipe Smoker, I was drawn towards the whole e-Pipe thing once I had got used to what was what with rebuilding etc. Back when I started out, "most" devices were Mechs, Regulated Mods were pretty much in their infancy back then and were the domain of those with far deeper pockets, so we learned our stuff with mechs and remarkably, very few of us blew our hands or faces off
Pipes, be aware, they are a different experience to using a real Briar!! Principally because of the vastly increased weight. IF you smoked a Briar, you'd possible have been used to clenching it in your teeth whilst doing other things, that won't work with an e-Pipe You will find that you hold it at all times. As far as recommendations go, I would suggest that taking a look at this........ http://www.epipeforum.org/forum/index.php?action=forum would be a good starting point.
IF it were my money, I wouldn't even consider a Smok Guardian I'm afraid, but that's a case of "One Man's Meat being another Man's Poison" of course. Suffice to say that I have owned a couple and never enjoyed them at all.
@Crewella will tell you far more about the Kamry e-Pipes as she has quite a collection. The Limelight Pipes are rather good and very sought after these days, BUT, for my money, something from Puma Dedek will always be a winner in terms of functionality. YES, it WILL be a Mech, but it will be a very well made device and it WILL perform extremely efficiently.
IF you have money to burn................. and IF you ever see one, The Pipes that were made by Lash Creative the "Uli Crann" would be a no brainer. These were in the main fitted with Dicodes Chips (Regulated) and are real gems. This would mean scouring the various facebook groups nowadays as Lee is in a very bad way healthwise and it is extremely unlikely that he will return to work, which is a sad loss to the Vaping World on every level.
That's me, said my piece, Good Luck hunting something down that fits the bill.
Ahh! You must be one of big cheeses on here then! Hello Rob!
I've never actually smoked a pipe before...never liked the smell of pipe tobacco! but the i'm drawn to the epipe...so i'll take a look at some of those ones you suggested. I see that there some custom ones to be had, made out of real modified pipes, but i'll probably not bother with those just yet. So Smok guardian doesn't do it for you, interesting....my local Vape shop vendor couldn't bang on about them enough! He's the one that suggested I that avoid the epuffer.
As with anything else in life, it's all different strokes for different folks......me i'm just trying to find a blinkin' juice ratio that I can be happy with!
Currently vaping 40/60 9mg mix of the Vampire Vape sweet tobacco, with Nautilus 2 tank. Valve fully open, wattage set at 23, it's.....okay. Nice cloud from and it smoother than the 50/50, but the hit has lessen. Damn.... it's tough getting this right! lol!
I'll have to see what those Manabush ones are like.
Thanks for the tips Rob..i'm sure i'll find something one day.
