Introduce Yourselves:

[M5000]

Hi @argief, thank you for the input. I totally agree about the coil. Everyone suggested starting higher. I wanted to start with the higher coil especially since I didn't have low nic liquids, but I only realised that the pre-fitted one is a 0.5 after filling the tank and I gave it a try for the evening but I need to change the coil today and also get some new liquid.

It's definitely a huge jump from Twisp, I love the power, and the clouds are great. I don't mind if I only use 10w but it's always good to have more power!

Hi @Wyvern , thanks and same to you! How is your starter setup? Any advice/recommendations?

I managed to buy my setup from here second hand - Eleaf IStick Mini 10w with Eleaf GS Air Glassomizer (which is a box mod) and then I also got a Eleaf IJust D16 with Aspire K1 Glassomizer - pen style. I used both to test them out, and decided I prefer the IStick mini - its such a comfy little mod. (I have tiny hands). I am loving the vape. I have stopped my stinkies completely on day 1. I was so impressed with it and havent had a craving at all. I just gave away my backup ciggies since I know I wont go back. And trust me I was very sceptical about it, I didnt think it would help. I would listen to the guys here, they really know what they are talking about and are awesomely helpful and friendly.

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.

The pleasure is all ours.

Consider:

1. The Eleaf iJust2 kit. This comes with 0.3 or 0.5 ohms coils, which could be too low resistance at this stage for you. I believe, however, that the Aspire Triton 1.8 ohm coils fits in the tank too. Not variable power, but many like it.
2. The iStick 30W with Mini Aspire Nautilus tank. This is all HRH uses. She likes the Subox Mini Kit, but find it too heavy. The iStick with mAN is a light and very pocketable combination. Variable power here.

HOWZIT!!!!!!!!!!!

André here, my Twin Brother and Brother in-law are both also on here.

I started vaping on and off about 3 years ago. started out with this HORRIBLE "cigarette look" e-sigs. Later went on to the china-type "clearo's". I never really took vaping seriously. I then borrowed a Twisp from @argief and that made me decide to rather give it back and do it properly! I got myself a black Kangertech Subox. I'm really diggin' it, still struggling to leave the normal 'light-up' cigarettes, but I think I'll get there!

Sweet!

 

[Wyvern]

Welcome new people! Yay now I am not the newest one here

I just wanted to say 1 week on the Vapes and cant touch the stinkies at all anymore. Thanks to some truly awesome people on the forum, I have now gotten another tank for my mini stick, and have been testing out flavours. I also converted my brother to vaping and he is loving it.

Welcome @Clouder

Good to hear that you've decided to take vaping more seriously, it really is a life changing decision

Maybe upping your nic level will help ease the transition a little, but don't rush it, it's not a race

Thanx @BumbleBee! I'm actually going to drop the nic level! I am currently on 18mg and its roasting my throat! So I think its due to the burning throat that I still tend to hit a stinky!

That was the part that made me consider stinkies for a second, then I lowered my nic level and now I am in heaven

Cool @Wyvern ! I'm having a 11mg juice in, still feel like going down to 6mg???

I started on 6mg last week, within 3 days I dropped to 3. I am very happy with the 3. It gives me the nicotine buzz I need to that I dont strangle co workers or my boss. But it doesnt burn my thoat. So currently I am reducing all my juices, by adding in a 0mg mint - since that is all I have currently and the mint actually goes well with my fruity flavours, even the coffee flavour - it also isnt a sweet one so its nice to mix in.

From now on I'm only buying 6mg sauces

Hello folks, new to the Vaping scene with @Wyvren giving me a little taste on Saturday.
Decided there and then to find a kit and so the impulse buy got me started with on a Subox Mini.

Ran Saturday and Sunday morning on 1.5 ohm and then switched to 0.5 ohm and loving it. The flavour change is interesting and can't stop puffing away

Started on the lowest nicotine content since I only picked up a tar-wrap if I was drinking so that habbit is the last to break down. But I don't even look at them now, why would one if you have some Purple Alien winking at you from next to the pc

I just wanted your coffee flavour Enjoying my Purple Alien today, nice for the work. Some Papa Smurf tonight. Can't decide which one I like more.
I think I need a fun caramel type dessert flavour. Until I can find a good coffee one I like, then I will only have a problem to keep stock
