NEW IN THE QUEUE – SOME NEW PRODUCT FROM ATOM VAPES – 7/9/16
SOME NEW PRODUCT FROM ATOM VAPES
Got some new product in from Atom Vapes.
First the Metropolis Tank. When they first contacted me on this, it was supposed to be an extremely inexpensive tank in the $10 range, but it’s showing up on their website for $21.99 and $19.99. Hmmm.
I do kinda like the looks of this one. Here’s some more info from their site:
Designed based on the 1920’s Art Deco movement. The Metropolis Tank uses the simplicity of art deco lines, luxurious 24ct gold plated components and powered by Atom gClapton coils. It delivers an amazing vape, all day, every day. Unlike other metal tanks, the Metropolis feature a Pyrex chassis with gold plated components accentuating the true natural flavor of liquids. It’s a true flavor tank.
Whats Inside:
- 1 x Metropolis Tank
- 1 x gClapton Kanger Coil (0.5Ω 25-45w)
- 1x User Manual
Compatible with our gClapton Kanger coils
Next is the Yakuza 70W Box Mod. I appreciate the 70W rating on a single 18650 battery mod which sounds more realistic. This one was handed to me in Chicago (I think 🙂 ). First thing I noticed was an interface that didn’t look like everything else which I always commend. Perhaps it’s worth a look when I can get to it.
Here’s some additional information from their site (which isn’t a lot BTW):
Compressed to be as small as possible, with a design that captures the very essence of creativity. It’s rugged look and soft textures feel solid in the palm of your hands. An easy to use interface with a three click mechanism for changing modes and an enhanced chipset with one of a kind Ceramic Mode feature for new lines of coils. Super powered 18650 Capacity with the first box mod ever to have both Android and Apple lightning charging ports, offering you the convenience to charge anywhere in an hour with a 3A charger.

DEAR FDA…
Dear FDA,
You are about to kill people. Your actions will cause people to die in 3 different ways…
- Vapers will go back to smoking if they can’t get the products they desire.
- Smokers will continue to smoke without the ability to try and purchase a wide variety and selection of products.
- The black market, which you are about to create, will put unsafe products into the hands of many.
People will die. I hope you’re prepared for the blood that will be on your hands.

HAPPY 7-YEAR VAPEVERSARY TO ME
7 years ago today, I left the world of cigarettes and became a vaper.
I’ve met some incredible people.
I’ve made some incredible friends.
I’ve traveled to some incredible places.
I’ve been given some incredible opportunities.
For this and for you, I’m eternally grateful.
No matter what the future holds for us, I will continue to be committed and dedicated to helping people rid their lives of cigarettes and find the healthier alternative that is vaping.
Happy Vapeversary to me!
From Kian
Dear Phil
My name’s Kian, I’m a newbie vaper, a former smoker of 11-12 years. I
live in Iran and there’s literally no vape shops here, not a single poxy one.
Therefore, my sole source of information on what I could buy over the internet, is
the internet itself. and in that, your channel is my go to channel. You, my good man
Phil, are the only person who speaks like you mean it. you don’t try to be hip (yet
you are the coolest), you don’t try too hard to be entertaining (yet your videos are
an absolute delight to watch), and you don’t follow meaningless trades, instead you
give genuine information (and your face is not covered with a tattoo of a Japanese
demon like many others). and that’s why I could learn from you. So, I thought I send
you this message to thank you for what you have taught me, and to let you know that
I seriously rely on you as a reliable source of information. I simply could not have
become a vaper without your channel to guide me, hence: a gesture of gratitude,
however insignificant, seemed due.I wish you a long and healthy life and look forward to your every next video.
Yours truly…
Kian
KANGER ANNOUNCES THE PANGU
Well, it looks like Kanger has developed a brandy new, state of the art… CARTO TANK! 🙂
I’ve been most of the tanks these days are based on the early carto tanks, but this one really reminds me of one.
I do like “Clean Hands” coil replacement on this one… very similar to Innokin tanks, but from the other side of the tank.
Of course, I question “One coil for both MTL and DL vaping”. I’ll believe that when I try it. 🙂
I’ve got some coming in. Let’s see how they perform.

“VAPING PLIERS”
Several people have asked me about these pliers that have made a few appearances in the videos, so I thought it time for a post.
They were gifted to me by the “Tall Tile Guy” (he is very tall by the way 🙂 ) at an event and I’ve used them a LOT. They’ve gotten me out of some stuck situations without scratching up my tanks or devices.
He sells them on Ebay and you can click the photo to be taken to the listing.
A HUGE THANK YOU AND CONGRATS TO ZAMPLE BOX!!
A HUGE THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS to Zample Box who made the winning bid of $5000 for the “Pile For Advocacy” Auction.
1/2 of this will go to CASAA and the other 1/2 will go to the R2B Smoke-Free Coalition to help support the industry wide lawsuit.
Thank you guys so much!!
MOLECULE LABS STEPS UP TO SUPPORT “A BILLIONS LIVES” NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE!
By now you know that the documentary A Billion Lives will be premiering in the United States on August 6th. What you may not know is how critically important it was for Molecule Labs (manufacturer for vape liquid brands such as Cuttwood, Halcyon, VonVape, and Volcano, among others) to step up with a significant sponsorship of the after-party. Without that commitment, the North American premiere (and the noise around it) would have been delayed. In the film publicity game, success is gaining wide attention – which is best accomplished with the one-twopunch of a well-attended premiere screening, and a huge, crowded, highly publicized after-party. Large sponsors are always necessary to make these events successful.
As a result of Molecule Labs’ support for vaping and belief in the importance of this documentary, there will not only now be a timely North American premiere (a mere two days before the FDA regulations start kicking in), but also five weeks of increasing media attention (traditional and social); highlighting the corrupt, unethical, and borderline evil opposition to what should be hailed as the largest public health advancement since germ theory. We are in a critical period in the history of vaping, public health, and freedom, and this couldn’t be coming at a better time.
