Help on ego one mini vs istick30

Hi Allan,
I know where you are coming from I was there a couple a months ago. And let me say if I can stop cigarettes after 50 years it should be a walk in the park for you.
This is how I see it, there are 3 main aspects to cigarettes.
1. The 'phyco' auto hand to mouth response. (Something all babies do - we are born to do it)
2. The taste of the cigarette or rather the taste of the tobacco smoke.
3. The nicotine - oh boy 'o' boy the nicotine.

Vaping will help with 1 - similar action.
With 2 get some juice that resembles a similar taste to cigarettes. Strawberries, banana and cream may not do it for you.
The nicotine 95% of smokers are 'hooked' on this, so get a tobacco flavoured juice with at least 9mg (/ml) nicotine.

Seems to me all the tanks leak - well mine do, I just use a tissue to wipe it.
What you do need is a back up tank/ battery. So having two separate vaping units is really beneficial.

With the two units one can "experiment" with different flavours and nicotine levels without crawling on the floor.

Go for it Allan you can do it.

I have the ego one as well as an Istic 30w Nautilus mini combo and the number of leaks I had on the ego one I can count on one hand. As for the nautilus mini yes it was a good tank but since I got the ego one my nautilus has been gathering dust. The ego one tank works well one the Istick 30w.

Long story short I don't think a nautilus with an Istick is an upgrade compared to the ego one I see it as a downgrade. If you are going to spend that kind of money rather buy the subox kit.

My 2c
Wow - thats interesting. This post goes to show that everyone has a unique experience when it comes to vaping. I own both tanks (3x nautilus minis actually), and both mods. (As well as the sub tank mini v1 and v2 - yes I'm a vaping *****) My experience has been the opposite - haven't had a leak in the Nautilus mini all year, whereas the ego tank barely gave me 2 consecutive leek-free days. And in terms of flavour, especially with these new nautilus organic cotton wicks (rather than the previous silica) and bigger air holes, imo the flavour is miles ahead and it finally handles higher VG's. No sub-ohming so clouds won't be as big - but here we are talking purely about a stinky replacement. Even with our million watt TC devices, our minuscule flavour chasing RDA's, our beloved Reo's... the Nautilus Mini is a true hall-of-famer that I reckon will continue to be manufactured for some time. It's kind of like a Citi Golf :)

As fantastic as the Subtank/Sub Box kit is, and if you go that route youll love it no doubt, the Nauti (only just) steals my vote in terms of a recommendation for a starter combo to get off stinkies. With an istick (either the 30w or 40w TC)
 
That said, the Subox Mini kit is newer technology. It can take more juice, gives you more power options and gives you the option to build your own coils.

^Although @Andre makes a concise but compelling argument for the ST! Definitely more versatile.

lol, indeed. My experiences, not echoed by lots of others -

2 x Nautilus minis - No leaks whatsoever
3 x eGo ONE Mega + 2 x eGo ONE XL - Some leaking every now and again
2 x Subtank Minis - Pissing like a guy after a 12 hour beer-binge

It differs. I do agree with the Nautilus having better flavour than the eGo ONE (Not in Subtank subohm territory, but very good MTL, and in my experience, good for cigarette lovers since the draw is similar). We all vape differently and the reality is that for most of us it takes a while to get "the one".

Some of us are lucky - wish I was lucky.
 
Hey guys ,so I got the sub box it ..so far to be honest ...I am not that impressed (yet.)...

I still dnt understand the vw thing but still working on it ..the throat hit is a lot stronger compared to the ego one thou...

Any advise on it ..

Using the 1.5 coil and vapping vm4 9 mg ,,

Which watt setting will be the best ...

To me it all kinda feels the same???went from 10 all the way to 20 w...

The one difference I can see or atleast feel is with rocket sheep enterprise 6mg..

If I turn up the watts it feels or throat hit is much better on the 6mg..

Can anyone give me advise or a good starting point to how to use or experience the vw?( I hope you know what I mean )

PS. I dnt want to sound as the sub box is bad,, I just need to know how to use it
Thx

Start really low and work up until you feel you like it - do not go too high on the 1.5 ohm coils. The power you use will vary from juice to juice. Play with the air flow setting at the bottom as well. And, that drip tip is really wide bore if you are not used to it - try a smaller bore drip tip and see if that makes a difference.
 
In Short More watt = more power= more vapour production but here is the catch the higher the resistance of your coil (ohm) the less power it can handle. So for example (I can't remember the exact values) but 20W would be the max your 1.5ohm coil can handle if that is not enough for you, you need to go to the lower resistance coil ie the 0.5 ohm coil and then you can go to 30-35w.

One last thing are you vaping strong enough liquid? Now that is a very personal thing and there is no relationship between how much and strong you smoked compared to how high mg nicotine you should vape.

I currently build 0.7ohm coils for my ego one and vape 18mg liquid to keep my demons at bay.
 
Hey ,,good day ..so far I think I am getting the hang of it lol atleast think..

With the liquid I use when I am at 10 or 11 watts and the draw feels hard and cool,,almost feels like I am not drawing anything ,, but enough ..

At 12 -13 wats..the draw is better ..abit wamer and feels like I am vapping something..

Just one question ..
How do you guys go about tasting new flavours ,,since I filled my tank and I want to try new flavours since I have 3 more to try..I dnt want to waste liquid just to test out a new liquid?
