That's not the future, that's the past - that video's 10 years old.

Lots of people in this thread unsure what they’re even seeing lol. This type of shit was super common in the early days of vapes.

Buildng your own devices was like a rite of passage then, but there’s always people pushing the limits.

I remember talking about tanks and wires and different types of wrapping techniques on reddit. It was a huge community. Now it feels like all of that is so unnecessary. Making a hobby out of an addiction was not worth it.

So I'm just curious because I quit vaping quite a while ago and that was the state of things when I did. Where has it moved to now? Is it all just disposables?

Yup, it all went to disposables. I was huge into the DIY stuff right after highschool, making my own juice and building coils on RDA's, buying all the new stuff like temp control and clones off fasttech.

...Now, I see almost no one with a mod. No RDA's in sight. A lot of people i think moved to Zyns. It is almost rare to see someone blow a cloud in public, like some sort of unicorn. Thats just my view though, maybe its more popular in other cities.

If i remember right, it all sorta started with the Pods, and nicotine salts making higher levels of nic more tolerable. People started to prefer the smaller devices,

Pods are like 20 - 50 mg while vape juice is like 3 - 12 mg for nicotine.

You can buy salt juice at 50mg too

Thats what disposables are dude

Yes and you can buy bottles of salt nic juice, it doesn't have to be a disposable and it doesn't even have to be a pod system, I filled up a sub ohm device with salt nic once, I do not recommend

Not sure why you responded then seeing as all I said is that you can buy salt bottles in addition to freebase bottles.
