Only applies to new products sold in the EU, if you already have a tank that holds more than 2ml you can keep it and use it. That's how I see it.

Welcome back

I'll second Tam's suggestion on the iStick 50W... it is simple to use and easily "grows with you". Place it in Wattage-mode and you can start low (say 7W?) and keep bumping the Wattage higher until you find the heat and vapor production that works best for your juice and tank combo. Some juice/tank combos will like 10W, some will taste best at 20W, even if it is the same juice, but a different tank or coil resistance. For a beginner, I would suggest 1.5-1.8 Ohm coil resistances, and if you were a 2-pack-a-day smoker, 12mg nicotine may not be enough for you. As Bebop said, with today's modern tanks, they require more power and put out more vapor (which means the nicotine delivery is more efficient) but you may want to also pick up some 18mg juices (or even higher) because you'll need the additional nicotine during the first few weeks of vaping... to curb the cravings for all the non-nicotine garbage you're missing from the cigarettes. Your body has to detox from over 5000 chemicals in analog smoke, and nicotine is only ONE of those... but higher levels will help you pass the cravings faster. Another tank to consider is the Kanger Subtank Mini. There is a wide range of coils available for them, and they are IMO a perfect tank for beginner or advanced user. The Triton 2 is a good tank too, but there are fewer options for coil resistance available (nothing in the 0.5-1.6 Ohm range), which is what keeps me from using one as my go-to tank, but my GF uses one daily, as well as her Aspire Nautilus tanks. The 1.8 Ohm coil does provide a lot of vapor and flavor though, so don't think they are bad... I just think they should have more coil options available, lol.

Oh... I don't know about "wise" although I have been called a wise@$$ at times. The lovely thing about the Triton 2 is that you can use it for either mouth to lung (where you first draw the vapor into your mouth before inhaling) or direct lung (where we draw the vapor directly into your lungs). Most smokers go mouth to lung (aka MtL) at first to mimic their smoking habit. Bebop is also giving you some great advice about starting with lower nicotine levels with these types of set ups. I, too, was a pack to two pack a day Marlboro Light smoker (38 years). With the set ups we had when I first started vaping, there wasn't a whole lot of choices and the equipment had me using 24 mg of nicotine. In today's tanks, with the more advanced coils, 12 mg of nicotine is easily as "strong" as 24 was back in the day. You may want to get a variety of different nic levels in your juices. More nic in the morning and use less nic juice at night a few hours before bed so you can ramp down to get some sleep. Be sure to drink lots of water! Vaping dehydrates you so you'll want to double or triple your water intake. Don't drink more coffee, tea, juice, or soda... stick with plain water. It also helps to flush all the carcinogens and toxins in your body from smoking cigarettes.

Tam is wise. Her set up is perfect for you. Your husband's kit is way over powered for a beginner and that is likely why you find it harsh. With the set up Tam describes you can go from a lighter touch to begin with but can easily ramp up to higher powers if you need to and it's simple to set up and operate. The Triton 2 tank can use a variety of pre-made coils that you will quickly find what works for you. Remember, with higher power you need less nicotine. If I were you and using these modern tanks I would start around 12mg nicotine in your juices and adjust up or down from there. Congratulations on your new choice of vaping. You won't regret it and you will soon learn to love it. Good luck!

Wizard labs or Heartland vapes in my opinion are the best choices. I don't know about Wizard Labs, but Heartland Vapes has DIY starter kits.

Rubbing alcohol is not drinkable or safe if you take it internally. It is also known to be poisonous if inhaled (ask veterinarians who use to use it as a "gaseous anesthetic" 50+ years ago). It also has "other" ingredients which leave residue on the coils, even after the Isopropyl Alcohol evaporates away. 91% is better than 50% because it is more alcohol and less "other" stuff in it, but with more alcohol, it is more toxic until fully evaporated (which can take days to fully evaporate from some wick materials). Ethanol is safe to drink (Vodka, Everclear, moonshine, etc.) and even if it isn't fully evaporated, it is safe to inhale. When buying 100-proof Vodka, you're getting 50% Ethanol and 50% water

Stealthy little dude. Love it so far..

I charge all of my batteries in an external charger... They charge faster, and I don't trust them inside a MOD to charge... I mean if something catastrophic happens to the battery, then the MOD would be destroyed, and I paid a whole lot less for my NiteCore chargers than I did for the MODs My SO has charged her battery in the MOD many times without instance, but before she met me, she only had one battery for her Sigelei 50W (at least it was a good Samsung 25R). Now, I have her using Cloupor, Kanger, and Wismec Presa mods along with her Sigelei, and she rotates through the half-dozen batteries I gave her, charging them only in the Nitecore charger... unless of course, she has no choice but to charge in the MOD while out-and-about or at work, without a spare battery.

I want one of those so bad, but I have 3 NEBOXs in a cart for $20/ea and just cant pull the trigger. (We are on a new budget, and it is killing my shinyitus)
