Got in my secret santa present, free juice...

One that I do all the time, When in a new restaurant or public place like a bar always ask if vaping is allowed and don't blow big clouds if allowed to vape. Don't vape while filling your car with Gas. It may not cause an issue, but remember it is a hot coil and any spark could cause a fire.

Today's mail brought forth bountiful gifts of coils... 1.8 Ohm Triton coils, 1.6 Ohm Nautilus BVC, and Subtank 1.2 Ohm... two boxes of each

LOL! Bebop beat me to the instructions. Thanks!

And so much easier to open the tank than the Nautilus. lol!

I doubt it is getting dry. I run most of my mods in the 40 watt range, but they normally level off at 20 or so when the TC starts working. I am not familiar with the Reuleaux RX200 but in most of mine if it gets to the point that the screen changes, you may need to turn your power down a bit. I have not used SS, but with Ni200 and Ti01 and .25ohm coil, 50 watts should be more than enough. When a you have it set right, you will barely notice it is working. You will have a bit of rattlsnaking as it trys to keep the temp steady. It should provide a consistent vape from the time you fill the tank, until it is nearly empty. It will then slowly get cooler and quit putting out vapor when it gets dry.

Yep, your settings are ON or OFF, lol... the only true settings are in the resistance of your coil-builds, and if you go below 1.0 Ohms, you should be using a really really good battery. Amp-ratings of your battery are very important, as well as an Ohm-meter, when working with a mechanical mod.

Those that blow themselves up are usually using inferior batteries, defective mechanicals, or running resistances (Ohms) far below the ratings of their battery. These are things the media leave out... they just play the blame-game on those evil e-cigs... [shakes head] Mechanicals are safe, as long as you know what you are doing and use good equipment, the right way... that being said, even a regulated mod can have issues... poor chipsets, batteries, or just stupidity by the operator... This is why we always preach about battery safety and knowing what your device can and will do. Don't let the media scare you... the media no longer reports the news or public-services... they are interested in ratings and awards, agenda pushing, and fear-mongering...

Based on what you posted, a can of snuff/dip is basically equivalent to a pack of cigarettes (full-flavor, unfiltered)... or two packs of filtered "lights". I would suggest simple to get you started... A Kanger ProTank 2, Kanger Aerotank V2, Nautilus, Nautilus Mini, or AnyVape Davide. Coils are cheap for these, and they WORK! As for a battery device... simple is best, so I would suggest an iStick 50W, not for the power, but for the longevity of the battery. The Wismec Presa 40W (not the TC model) is also tops on my list... Next would be an MVP-series battery. As for a stick-style, you cannot beat the iTaste CLK, Vision Spinner V1, or a similar Variable-voltage device from Kanger or Smok. Based on your daily nicotine from dipping, I would suggest you start with one of the tanks above, a coil in the 1.5-1.8 Ohm resistance range, and probably an 18mg nicotine level. You can go higher or lower, based on your needs, but that will be a good starting point. Find a flavor you like, and vape as often as you feel the need

I do not envy the new vaper these days. In only 2 1/2 years the market has gotten so much more complicated than when I started. I like your advice Aufin. We grew up with the changes but someone new has dozens and dozens of options more than we had and a lot of those options require a bit of experience before taking advantage of them. It's a wonder these complications don't turn some people off of vaping. Many of our "sticky" threads that contain definitions and descriptions of devices probably need a serious upgrade. my advice is buy a simple kit - a basic ego battery and a refillable tank and a bunch of coils and get started. You can find that kit right here at VT. Then, take the time to visit a good brick and mortar store and have somebody friendly show you the options available. You don't have to go complicated to get started. The noobie should probably stay away from high watt, direct to lung, high airflow devices at first as these are way different than regular smoking and the noob is more likely to want something that simulates real smoking at first. In fact many of us still use these simple devices for their simplicity.

Following is MY opinion and MY opinion ONLY. For someone just starting out vaping, the setup you're interested in seems to have quite a learning curve. Tons of very good information can be had from the guys n gals on this forum, but a response to a question may take longer than you need. When I, and quite possibly the majority of everyone else, started down the vape path I/we started with beginners equipment to learn what this vape scene was all about and figure out what kind of equipment I thought I wanted to end up with. My "wants" changed a few times along the way to what I settled in with and still use to this day. MY advice would be to find a local vape shop and spend some hands-on time with someone you can have a face-to-face with and get all your questions answered at one time before spending money on high end equipment you will still most likely have to figure out along the way to your personal sweet spot. Since you're just now quitting smoking and looking to vapeing to satisfy your nic cravings, the learning period for the SVD could prove very frustrating and expensive. Start simple, inexpensive, learn, then decide. "My opinion. I could be wrong."

im 65 and finally got fed up with breathing in smoke and throwing my money away on cigarettes. ive been looking at the commercials on e-cigs for years but = do they work or not ? well two weeks ago, on my way home form visiting my wife of 40+ years having a quadruple bypass, so i stopped and bout a itaste vv v3.0, couldn't believe how good this thing worked. i mean since i bought it ive only had maybe one cig every other day. my cig sit with next to where my e-cig sits and i dont even think about having a cig. unbelievable, best thing i ever did. when i realized that the vaping was the thing for me i picked up a itaste 134 mini for the home and use the itaste vv v3.0 for when i go somewhere. still amazed on how great these things work for getting off cigs.

Welcome to the vape world, but you got to be careful you don't get that affliction known as Shinyitus, very common to people who vape its not hazardous to your health but its very hazardous to your wallet, a lot of us have it.

Welcome to the wonderful world of vap'n. You started the same age I did ...... almost 3 years ago. Sounds like you hit the ground runnin. I see yur wife's on board with vap'n, too. Feels great to be off smokes, doesn’t it.

done deal. have two extra iclear x.1, each having two extra coils, two itaste vv v3.0's, and a MVP 2.0. has for batteries, i have two 18500's and two 18350's, all Efest. the MVP 2.0 and one of the itaste vv v3.0 is for the wife and the 134 mini and one of the vv v3.0's is for me. right now i feel the vv v3.0 is the easiest to use, light weight and love it. the 134 mini is good but bulky and heavy, cant imagine the 134 regular, must weigh a ton. looked at the provair, expensive but suppose to keep constant watts and or volts so you dont get any fluctuation. main thing is im off cig.

You started out with some very good equipment, sounds like you've got a good vendor in your area. That said, you now need to go pick up a couple more back ups. You have two batteries, which is a good start. You need a couple more tanks just in case something happens. When you get a couple more tanks, pick up a couple of 5-packs of coils to go with them. You never know when a coil is going to go out on you or when you get a bad one. Having back ups and back ups of back ups is the insurance to your success in getting off and staying off cigarettes. Congratulations on making the switch, and I hope your lady makes a quick and full recovery from her surgery. Welcome to Vapor Talk.

You've never tried murdock's fluid yet? Which one you wanting to try?

I had some special vape mail today. I received my 50ft length of 1/8 stainless steel FDA approved cable. Let the wicking trials begin.

Oracle ohm meter woo hoo..... Care to share Wiz? Just need a sample!
