Good day to all. Firstly I would like to Introduce myself. The name is Quin. I have been wasting my time jumping back and forth between different entry level Vape pens and siggarettes for the last 2 years. Hopefully all that will end in the next few weeks with the guidance of some more experienced members.

Hi @QBad! I have been bumping into a lot of smokers who are the very same... I always ask smokers why they smoke and a lot of them answer that they tried eciggies and it never worked for them... and I can identify with them... I was in the same boat until I found the forum and all the helpful people who advised and guided me through the mass of gadgets and juice... and after having smoked for over 30 years and tried everything to give up I'm a week or so from my first anniversary of not having touched a stinky!

Your rule from now on is never to buy anything on a whim! Only buy something that has been recommended and tried by the experts on this forum! It will save you a lot of pain and anguish and keep you off stinkies!

WOW! I have been on my fair share of Forums and Discussions and NEVER received replies this quick or felt welcome Immediately. Thank you! I will definitely be spending quite some time here as I would like to savor some wisdom. I am currently using a Twisp Clearo unit and personally I am not quite happy. Any Mod recommendations that you guys would recommend?

A very good next step imo would be a Mini Aspire Nautilus (mAN) with a good variable voltage/wattage (VV/VW) battery, like a Vision Spinner2 or ,in box form and long battery life, the MVP2. If I had to choose now, would wait for the iStick and put the mAN on top of that. See this thread for more info on the iStick: http://www.ecigssa.co.za/threads/vapeclub-istick-by-eleaf-20w-in-the-palm-of-your-hand-inbound.5738/

Almost everyone will say "Get a Reo" you will still find out what that is.

But then there are a lot of grate setups, like a MVP, VTR, Hana mods, and a bunch of mec mods. And then there is still the EMOW, and lots and lots of clearomizers

Ow and most of us started with a twisp

Welcome @QBad , this forum will not disappoint.

I'm also new around here - have a look at this thread I started regarding an upgrade, some very useful knowledge and insight in there:

@QBad this is the best advice you could get... this is your route to happiness and to the end of the stinkies! No question!

Welcome to the forum @QBad

I totally get where you're coming from, I used rubbish for a year to reduce the amount of cigarettes I was smoking, it helped but wasn't good enough. I went searching for something better and I found this forum, got me a Kayfun and SVD and boom! No more stinkies, just like that.

I'm all for the baby steps approach, start with a good tank atomiser and work your way up drippers and RBA's. You're going to hear "REO" come up a lot, totally agree, it is awesome but you may not be ready for that yet. As @Andre said, the Aspire Nautilus Mini is superb, its a great place to start, and yes.... wait for that iStick or even the new SVD 2.0 which should be coming any day now. In the mean time the Vision Spinner 2 variable voltage battery is the way I would go to power the Mini Nautilus. The Kangerteck EMOW is also a kick ass "all in one box" starter kit.

@QBad there is one issue we have all missed and is probably the MOST important issue of all! And that is your choice of juice... because until you find your ADV (All Day Vape) you are at risk of reaching for a stinky!

What juices have you tried and which is your favorite so far?

If you like Menthol then there is a NEED to HAVE (N2H) and that's Vapour Mountain's Menthol Ice!

@Rob Fisher is absolutely spot on. my biggest issue for a whole year was finding a juice that works for me. its that important.
when i finally found the juice that worked from me the next day i went from pack a day to two stinkies a day.
well spotted there @Rob Fisher

As mentioned I knew that there was a market for the Vaper pens but until Today I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA of the amount of Units available. I had basically given up on the "e-fag" as my brother and I like to call it. I have Only had my Twisp for about 4 Months now and HATE the fact that my juice (also twisp) turns that dark brown thick story... Makes it taste GAG and in that instance I just grab a stinky. Its that bad lol. I recently came across the Liqua range and quite enjoyed the tank I was able to sample from a mate but still I would Love to stick a decent double coil Clearomizer on this battery and just build up to something better (no Idea What to use or what would fit). I have seen you guys mention abbreviations of things I have NEVER heard of. I would Love to just settle, get a proper kit and move on from there but Cash flow is kind of tight. And by "kind of" I mean I'm screwed cash wise at the moment. I started Vaping with the Idea that I would quit stinkys for good saving me just about 2 packs a day. at this stage I am losing the battle and am pretty much open to suggestions on Clearomizers and Juices.

Hi @QBad . We are sad to hear that you are not quite happy with your Twisping experience. Please would you advise what you are unhappy about so that we can be of assistance.

 

[BumbleBee]

Quite right @Rob Fisher the right juice is very important, its just so much harder to give advice on which juice to get. There are a lot of juices I like, some pricey ones like Boba's Bounty and some cheap stuff like the Shisha Time ones, and stuff I hated I now like, stuff I liked I can stand anymore.

I guess my advice on the juice department is try everything, you never know, something you thought you won't like just might become your favorite.

Tastes are very subjective, Rob's juice preferences pretty much revolve around 1 juice. I can't make up my mind, my stash looks like this.....


Don't be afraid to try something new, a great way will be to add your name to the list for a tastebox here:

I would say go for the EMOW, or Vision Spinner ii, and Mini Protank 3

On the juice point - I would suggest buying only 10ml bottles until you find what works for you - nothing worse than buying a whole 30ml of something you can't stand, I know this well!

 

[Matuka]

Hi and welcome. You have already had some great advice. Always get the best you can afford and stinkies will just be a vague memory.

We believe that the discoloration is due to the fact that our juice does not contain UV stabilizers, but that should not effect the taste of your liquid. This can be caused by the coil that needs to be replaced. Can you supply us with your liquid batch number so that we can run some tests?

My Apologies if I gave the wrong impression. I did not mean to degrade the product or put it down in any way. I do not vape a single juice. I combine juices. My Coil is but a few days old and I have been to the Twisp Stall in Centurion Mall Many times for Coils and even replacement of the clearomizer after the updated release. Many times I have been told that the taste is normal and I Clean my Twisp Regularly. Generally on the second fill of Juice I notice that there is a Drastic discoloration in the Juice and it also builds up a thick syrupy consistency... This Causes a strong Burning sensation during inhale. As I said all of the things mentioned above are related to personal experiences. I have Converted many of my personal friends and more to using the Twisp Products... 60% of these have all quit smoking successfully and still Love their Twisps.

This Causes a strong Burning sensation during inhale. .

That is caused by the strength of the nicotine, mix your liquids with 0 nic liquids and the nic contents will be lower and you wont have a burning sensation any more
