Hi Silver
Thanks for the quick and detailed response. Twisp has indeed been very helpful to many, and they have really kickstarted the Vape market with their lowered standards.
I don't see myself building coils in the near future so that is not a requirement for the tanks now. When I reach that level I would probably be ready to get a new tank.
As for size, I'm not too familiar which batteries and mods are compatible with which tanks, but in that case maybe I could get a compact battery for the smaller tank which I will carry around, and also get a relatively compact box mod (I hope I said it right) which, if possible, would be compatible with both tanks?
I'm looking for a Twisp Clearo type of hit. I'm not very sure about the differences but I think its more mouth to lung, like the hit you would get when you had a cig after a long flight. I'm not looking for excessive vapour, but I like to get a strong flavour that you feel on your throat. During the day moving around and in public places I definitely don't want to make huge clouds, but the second tank for using in the evening and stuff some extra vapour would be good. With the Twisp I had been finding that I had to really pull a few times to get the flavour going so in that respect I'm looking for something that is as effortless as possible. A little bit of adjustment to play with would be helpful.
I notice that tanks are fairly reasonable as far as cost goes, so if the battery/mod is fairly universal and can handle an upgrade then I can look at another tank once I get familiar with the first purchase, instead of getting a spare compact one now to carry around which I have been doing so I could have 2 flavours on hand, and who knows maybe I'll be ready to try my hand at coils by then.
I read up on the Aspire Atlantis V2 earlier, seems like a option for the 2nd tank, no idea about the mod yet though. The Aspire Nautilus has good reports but it uses a unique coil but is still an option if the coils are unique to the tanks in this category. I don't suppose you get different brands of that coil, but if the cost and quality of it are fine then it will be fine.
Thank you, I look forward to some suggestions. I came across a dealer in Musgrave who does online also, it's convenient for me to collect there and they seem to have the main products, I still need to check prices, hoping to get something soon, I'm barely surviving with a broken Twisp.
@garyalexza good luck man, let me know what kit you are planning to get, and I'm in the market so keep me in mind when you send the complimentary goods!
Hi All
Michael from Pretoria, been on and off the sticks for 6 months. Been vaping for 4 months just ordered my first RBA and looking forward to learning that side of the Vape hobby.
Hi folks
Im Peter from Cape Town, took an early, early retirement 2 years ago and Im really enjoying it.
Im a tinkerer, so personal freedom is high up on my priority list, I enjoy doing what I like when I like, whether its playing GTA5 till 2am or sleeping late till 10am, kids have grown up and flown the nest.
I stopped smoking (Winston red box) back in '95 when it got to around R2.95 a pack and havent gone back to the cigs since... yea it was hard, all we had in those days were nicotine patches or the gum (Nicorettes, disgusting stuff).
I've got to say the health improvement was vast, you notice flights of stairs are easier and of course theres the knock on effect too, where one positive leads to something new which in turn leads onto another benefit.
So... what brings me to vaping?
Well I was listening to some vape convo's and had the bright idea to extract my coffee and perhaps vape it.
Needless to say a quick Google showed me that it wasnt a unique idea, Eagle Energy Vapor is doing a disposable 3 pack but they use guarana extract, taurine and ginseng.
Anyhow Im still determined to extract the caffeine (steam distillation) and possibly infuse some glycerine.
I eagerly bounded off to the mall and procured a "Chinese" EVOD clone, more about that elsewhere.
I'll by no means be a regular vaper, its kinda pointless with 0% juice and I wont be doing nicotine again, but I enjoy the tinkering and experimenting... heck I've even got some lavender bushes if the "House of Coffees" Roma Espresso thing doesnt work out.
Welcome to the forum @blujeenz
There are several folk that vape zero mg juice here. They are more into the flavour than the nicotine.
Why dont you try some of the amazing zero mg juices from the fabulous local mixers on this forum. You may find you are surprised by the amazing flavours that are in some of the local brews. Just check out the vendors listed on the forum home page. Mavy of them sell juices and some do offer zero mg.
All the best and let us know how it goes
@Eduardo good luck quitting. I think you'll love vapeing.and the forum.Hi Peeps, Eduard from Cape Town here.
Im trying to get off the stinkies, my kit from VapeKing arriving today. Billow V2 and Koopor Mini 60W.
Will post pics as soon as i have it
Thanks for having me on the Forum.
@Xeltrix great to have you on board!Hi all!
So been free of the stinkies for about 2 and a half years. Started with Twisp Neos and then the Clearos. About a month back it became clear that I had to replace the dying Clearos an not with more Clearo batteries... I had been annoyed with them and the decline in quality of coils for ages but was lazy to change. Debated the new Twisp gear but decided some research was in order! That (Google) led me here and after some browsing of the forum, went with a subox mini setup based on the intro to vaping thread.
I've been blown away with it but... I had to also try new liquids as the twisp ones were not so great anymore.... Glad I did, some EXCELLENT juices made here in SA and found the reviews here spot on. Particularly enjoyed Silver's reviews, always spot on.
Anyways... just over a month later and I've just got a delivery today of supplies to build coils. So definitely moving quickly away from the plain old Clearo!
As an aside I've been very impressed with all of the retailers I've used to date and the impression I'm left with is that the e-juice makers and retailers in SA are top notch.
Thanks @Silver, also for the heads up regards the juices, Ive tried a 0% cappuccino from Liqua, not too bad, however I can sense the tasting thing could get out of hand.
@Silver I prefer the strength 4s like Roma Espresso, Italian, Jamacian or VIP Gold, in that order. I havent bothered with the HOC "lifestyle" range and none of the other brands interest me at all.
You find the best people on this forum.Welcome to the new members!Hi Guys.
Welcome to the new members. This a true Vape family.
@Andre @Silver @Bartart A special thanks to these guys who got me on the road in no time with great advice and lots of patience to answer every question. I have noticed in many other forums as well, Silver is one seriously patient guy!
Anyway, Subox Mini arrived from Eciggies - great service and very efficient. Coming from a Twisp this is a beast. Started on the 0.5ohm coil by mistake and a 12mg liquid which is a bit high for me. Still fiddling around and getting to know it.
The tank is stunning but I'm also scared to break it. From the little time that I've had with this, I would need a mod that is lighter and more pocket-friendly, to use when I'm out and about. I won't expect great power but just a simple one to carry to the beach or dam, simple and compact - I'll carry spare batteries if need be. Definitely not a mech mod though. Also need a few basic tanks that will work on most mods, good quality, rugged, easy to clean, and if it breaks it would be cheap to replace. I need this for carrying around, and also I am used to having at least 3 flavours on hand so one tank only won't work. Any suggestions welcome.
The subox is displaying 0.6ohm and 0.0V, is that normal? I haven't put the wattage above 20 at most, just trying different settings to get more flavour.
