And So It Begins.... Noob

[Ollypop]

Just to throw a spanner in the works I use my evods more than my pro tanks. I'm a Evod fanboi

Hahaha. Yeah that's a real spanner right there!!

The best vanilla on the planet - Frenilla by www.nicoticket.com, and they ship customs friendly.

I'll check em out. thanks

Hi @Ollypop - welcome to the forum - you are onto something great to want to stop the stinkies. Well done !
You are also doing a superb thing to do some research before you buy. I think many of us can say we wish we did that.

The team has given you excellent advice on the hardware front

I would just like to emphasise a few more things that will help you to properly stop the stinkies

- you need to have 2 complete setups. (2 tanks and 2 batteries.) Non negotiable in my view. If budget allows, get a third battery. (so 2 tanks and 3 batteries)

There are a few reasons for this.
- First is when one battery goes flat, you have the other.
- Second is if anything goes wrong with one of your devices, it may take a few days to get a replacement or get a part (eg a coil etc). In this case your second device will step in to save you from going back to stinkies.
- Remember, when we smoke and we run out of smokes, we can pop in to the nearest garage and get another box. Not so with vaping. You need to be well prepared. And once you stop smoking, you don't want to go back.
- Third and perhaps as important, I think you need to have 2 flavours of juices running at the same time so you don't get bored. Also, vaping too much of one flavour can give you vaper's tongue, where you get "immune" to that flavour and can't taste it for a while - its much better to vary it up.

- leave enough budget to experiment with juices and find a few you REALLY like. This is a critical part to your vaping journey being a success. The flavour hunt is easy for some and very difficult for others. Its a personal thing.

A good place to start with juices is VapourMountain - they offer their main range in cheaper 10ml bottles for R50, so you can sample quite a few and get a feel for the ones you like. (It is run by @Oupa on this forum) But other local manufacturers are also available such as VapeKing and several others - look at the resellers on this forum. Give it some time and in my view, stay local in the beginning. Finding the right juices is critical to your vaping sustainability. It has taken me about 6 months to find about 4 or 5 juices that I really love. And I have tried plenty. And what you may end up loving, others may hate. So you need to try for yourself.

All the best.

Some fantastic advice! thank you!

I'd hate to have to resort to stinkies again. And the thought of not being able to taste vanilla is scary. I'll definitely be switching it up. There are so many flavours i wanna try already!! Let's hope I don't go through the liquid too quickly. We shall see.

Out of curiosity, how much do you go through?

The guys above have all given excellent advice and had I had that kind of advice when I started vaping I would have saved some decent cash.

To address your previous question about how long the 1300mah will last you it really depends on the type of vaper you are, if you are always vaping at 4.8v your battery will run down quicker than if you vaped at 3.3v.

however with that said, to give you a sort of mean measurement I would say that at 3.8v you can easily get about 5ml of juice (which if you are running the mPT2 or mPT3 is about just over 3 tanks full). How long 5ml of juice will last you all depends on your vaping habits.

Hope that helps.

I doubt I'll be using a high voltage often. I'm not too perturbed when it comes to throat hit. Of course we won't know how much liquid I'll go through until I take the dive. I've read you can't really compare it to cigarette consumption. So even though I'm not a heavy smoker, i could still vape like a crazy thing.

If I may provide some insight from personal perspective, I was a 3 a day (yip that is 3 stinkies a day) smoker on marlboro gold. I now vape 4ml of juice a day, which is up there with some of the heavier smokers that converted to vaping. It really all depends on personal experience.

I use about 3 tanks (so around 5ml) a day. Some days it's more, some less. Very rarely see someone go over 10ml a day, so my advice would be to plan as if you'll be using 10ml a day, just so you don't get caught without juice

 

[BhavZ]

Initially your juice consumption will be erratic and then after a few months it will start to normalise until you find that one or two juices you just cant get enough of then you consumption will spike again.

Anyone here tried Nicoticket's other juices apart from Frenilla yet? if so please comment.

WOW!!!

You were really light on the stinkies. If i could get that low I'd probably quit. And kill a few people in the process.

I managed to quit for 2 years, it was awesome. Of course during the quitting process I was nominated for biggest douchebag in the universe. I was very snappy and unpleasant.

Hopefully I won't be heavy heavy vaper, but time will tell.

10ml a day!!!??? That is absolute madness!! 5ml sounds like a lot.

I'm assuming Frenilla is french vanilla. I'm already having an orgasm at the thought.

I have tasted:
H1N1 its something special (NET tobacco and some other goodies).
Custards last stand, my grand mothers home made custard
Frenilla, best vanilla ever. French vanilla extract

And those are the 3 I jut ordered can't wait for them to arrive.
These juices have actual texture and feel they are amazing someone else has some of the other flavours coming so I'll get to taste those to.

This may be a silly question but what is a drip tip?

Thats so sad

The drip tip is the mouth piece on an atty. Some atty's like the mPT3 have interchangeable drip tips for a custom look.

No such thing as a silly question dude, the only silly thing would be to not ask.

When I get my ecig I wanna get some extra coils while I'm at it.

Which coils do I get for a mPT2?

EDIT: I'm already starting with the acronyms. This is the beginning of the end.

 

[BhavZ]

There are few names for it but anything that says either "Authentic Kanger Protank 2 Mini V2" or "Authentic Kanger Evod" coils are the ones you want to get.

You are welcome
I vape around 5ml per day.
It is edging upward since I have been using higher powered setups...

So it uses the same coil as an EVOD? Awesome!
Found it already

Welcome to the forum @Ollypop. You have already been given some great advice.

My 2c...

Just basically iterating what was previously said.
I would suggest getting a VV device as different juices have taste variations at different voltages. It's also nice being able to jack up the voltage when you need more nic or clouds (like after a drink) or turn it down when you getting a burnt taste.

Both the wife and I have loved our mpt2s so I would recommend them. The evod is also a nice atty. Maybe get both?

The wife is currently using a ego twist 1300mah and loving it. Nice and compact and with the mpt2 it makes generous clouds that are very satisfying.

With the mpt I was going through about 2-3ml of 18mg a day(from 15-20 stuyv blue) I've recently upgraded to a Kayfun and an now using 3-5ml of 12mg.

Also make sure you have spares... very important.

Good luck and please keep us posted on your progress. You have come to the right place for advice, support, friendship and info.

Vape on...

Thanks @ShaneW

Some interesting info there. I'm pretty much sold on the mtp2, I've only read good things about it. Glad to see more of that. I've made My decision. I've also been thinking of getting the evod and using it as a spare. Can't hurt

The starter kit I was gonna get is sold out though. Haha. My luck.

Hey @Ollypop, i wanted to follow up on your thread here... what did you decide on for your kit, have you gotten it already? what do you think of it? you happily vaping yet? what juices did you go for? hahaha, just a couple of questions keep us posted

Hey Liz!

I found the starter kit I wanted to get but when I wanted to order it they were out of stock. and still are.
It had an Ego twist 1300mah battery, mtp2, usb cable, ac adapter, case and bottle. I was also gonna buy a 2nd tank, battery and a bunch of coils. But now to go and buy all of those things seperately will cost quite a bit more than when the starter kit was available.

So for now I'm still lost in the land of stinky, and it's not a pretty place.

 

[Rex_Bael]

@Ollypop, if it is the VapeKing starter you were looking at, @Stroodlepuff mentioned they were out of stock of the MPT2, but they will be getting the MPT3 in soon and the kit will be back in stock then.

Awesome! Thanks for me letting me know

 

[vapegerm]

Hang in there Ollypop and I hope you will come right with some good vaping kit soon.
It is good that you are doing your research first it is worth it in the long run and for the positive
change that awaits you Let us know how it goes please.
