Thinking of going back to vaping.

My only argument with built in batteries is if the batteries fail the mod has to go in the bin. Best going for external batteries all the time imo.

You’re not familiar with Slug wicks?

Firstly, wtf is a slug wick? Is it the old silica wick that I’ve never dared to try? Or is it rolled up mesh?

Kudos on posting some very nice vape porn and some of the fugliest vape pics ever on the same thread

A Mesh Slug is exactly what the name suggests, a wick made from 300 grade mesh, cut on the diagonal and then rolled, torched and then primed with the liquid of choice .
Provided you have done it correctly, it is one of the finest flavour producing systems you’ll ever meet.

Of course I agree with you in general, but I’ve become a bit of a fan of LiPos, even though they are not the best alternative in the long run. They often have a nice form factor and you just charge them like your phone… And you do need to plan a bit if you don’t have a backup. But if you’re just getting started, you don’t have to buy a battery, and a charger, and a backup battery

Didn't realise they were a thing... have never heard or seen them. They sound interesting, but they don't look very.... appetising.

See Rob is from the generation of vapers who accepted they'd be swallowing a fireball every so often, the rest of us just use cotton

I do hear the counter argument, it's the cleanest, most authentic way to vape. Bru, you're assuming 30+ years of smoking left ANY tastebuds?!?

I'd only vaguely heard of it and never looked into. The whole process doesn't and Lord knows how many goes you'd need to get the hang of it.

Holy fuckballs, that video was from seven years ago, lol

There are many vapers whom no longer go anywhere near any Atty that requires Cotton. The major advantage to a Mesh Wick, flavour aside, is their incredible longevity, just an occasional dry burn is all that's required. Believe it or not, a build that lasts 8 months, 12 months and well beyond is a huge bonus.
Yes there are disadvantages, definitely NOT the easiest build for a comparative novice, Mesh wicking is best suited to Tobaccos, Fruits etc, but not particularly good with Cakes, Custards etc.
For me, IF things work out successfully after the upcoming surgery, I will be returning to as many Mesh wick devices as I can because for the flavours that I enjoy, there really isn't ANYTHING that can compete. Alas, one does need hands and fingers that work to build a satisfactory Genesis or Mesh wicked device and as most of you know, at the moment, mine don't!!
