What happened to that BettyCrocker "CompyCrocker" Recipe Book you were working on???...

Get a flipping ohm meter!!! There cheep!!! Welcome to the forum BTW...lol
Oh, and good battery's!!! Jesus mister preacher man let's not forget the battery's!!! Good ones!!!

Welcome Wong Numba
You will find we are very diversified group here and everyone is welcome.  I think from your description you will fit in very well!  I don't know if anyone else vapes NETs on here though.  I, like you, and bcartervol98 i am not into the Vape Shop scene.  There was an group that gathered at one that was a bit older and I enjoyed that, but it went out of business.
I do inadvertently enjoy clouds, but it is just because I like 80/20 and 70/30 juice with very high airflow tanks.  I like the thick rich vapor I get from them.  I am very careful of where and when I vape because of it.  I don't do it to "blow clouds" or to impress anyone.
I also love new equipment.  If it fits into my categories that I like, I will do my best to buy it.  It has turned into a hobby/obsession.
I don't know what you mean by a flavor chaser, I do chase good flavor, but I only use 3 flavors.  I have my all day vape, and 2 flavors I use infrequently. I don't chase "new" flavors.
I really think that this place will be a good fit for you. There are so many good people here, and so many different styles of vapors, and it is such a personal habit, most people here are very accepting of everyone's different choices!
 
 

Yep. Always use a separate ohm meter and never trust that the one on your mod is accurate. They usually aren't.

After you build your coil on your RDA and you mount your RDA on your ohm reader before putting it on your mod, what does the resistance read?  That will give you your answer.
 
 

For a new sutup for $75 You cant beat the subtank mini its An all in one package good mod good tank (which you can expand on)  The I stick 50 is a great  batt as well as the KPT2 but with that tank your limited the subtank gives you room to expand (if you want too).... Knowing what I know now If the subox mini setup was around when I was looking for a second setup I would of jumped all over it. As of now its my second go too setup use it daily I can subohm or not with it.

The iStick just supplies the power.  Your tank determines everything else.  If you went with the subtank Mini, it is a more advanced tank, that has the ability to use the rebuildable head, (more advanced you need to build your own coils, and use cotton), the .5 ohm coils are premade and also more advanced (uses higher VG juices, and lower nicotine, with much more airflow) and the 1.5 ohm premade coil which is closer to what you were using, but still higher output and possibly more juice usage.  It would be a good step up, eventually.
You know when to change the coil when it will no longer supply the flavor, or amount of vapor you are used to at the same settings.  They gradually get gunked up and loose performance.  It is caused by many factors, but the greatest is your juice.  Some juices gunk coils quickly.  The amount of power also determines how long they last too.  Normally the more power you run the shorter they last. (there are many exceptions here, too many for this post)  You can also let your tank run dry, or over power them and burn them up.
I don't know of a kit that I really would recommend at this time.  As Earthling and Tam said, the Kanger Aero tanks, Kanger Pro Tanks, Davide's, and (I will add) the Nautilus, and Nautilus Mini would make good toppers for the iStick.  When you get more advanced, move up to SubTank Mini.  The iStick 50 will run just about any tank you can put on it, and they are much cheaper buying the best pieces and putting them together.  This type setup will work fine with the juices you have now (18 mg).
Like Squid and Cany said, the SubTank mini kit is a great kit.  I think it would defiantly be something to look at in the future.  It does require separate batteries, but this is a plus to some of us.  I carry 4 charged batteries and just swap them as needed.  I charge them outside of the unit so it is never stuck to a charger.  The tank is also capable of producing very large amounts of vapor, and a lot of customization (building your own coils)
Just shopping around for around $100 plus shipping, you could buy 2 setups, that way you have a backup. $30 each for iSticks, $10-$20 each for tanks, $10-$15 for extra coils...I know that is a little over...lol
 

Good points, I have the iStick 50 watt too, it is a solid unit as well. I suggested the subox (meaning the kit) as it comes with both the .5 and the 1.2 ohm coils, plus the build deck. I prefer the subox when not at home as I can carry a couple extra 18650s. The iStick only lasts me a few hours with a .25 coil running at 40 watts or so. I have found I like certain tanks on each mod, and didn't think of mixing. Kind of set in my ways, lol.

Nothing wrong with the subbox mini kit... but for the same money, you could pick up an iStick 50W and a couple of quality tanks like the Kanger ProTank2, Kanger AeroTank V2, or Aspire Davide tanks.  The subtank will work with "normal" Ohm cols... 1.5 Ohm, and will allow you to build your own on the RBA deck, but these are for more advanced users, not really the best option, IMO, for someone starting out.  An iStick 50W will give you HUGE battery life, and allow you to grow into higher Wattage tanks and sub-ohming (which is NOT for everyone, nor is it an expected progression for vapers).  The Kanger and Davide tanks will allow you to use factory coils from 0.8-2.5 Ohm (wide range), and they produce great flavor (my preference is the Aerotanks using 1.5 or 1.8 Ohm coils).  The goal is to stay away from smoking, and an iStick paired with a good, rugged tank will keep you going for years.  No need to jump into sub-ohming, rechargeable batteries, rebuildables, etc. just because the kit is "affordable", and a "kit"    If purchased online, $75 will get you an iStick, two tanks, and a box of coils... and probably a few bucks left over for the important part... JUICE!

No problem!

Thank you again Mplough! Things are back to normal and able to process orders once again.
Mirage your prize will be going out this week

Yeap got it. Also Mplough has some toner Cartridges that fit my old Laser 5 and is trading me for them so it won't be long. I love this community! I think it is sad that a HP Laser printer from the 90's still works and this all-in-one HP only lasted 2 years....

The one from the 90's was not made in China... Congrats mirage!

Second hand vapor may be harmless but it still can be annoying and irritating to others. I sure as hell don't want to be eating my dinner in a restaurant and have to smell some asswipes Tutti Fruity vapor.

I know the studies and agree but being an *** and vaping wherever you want with no regard for others is not putting vaping into the most favorable light. So you just blow a cloud when sitting at a table at Chilis or Applebys? What about the grocery? These are the types of places I am talking about and in many areas vaping indoors has already become banned just like cigarettes. Not saying it is right but it is a fact we vapers have to live with and being completely thoughtless to those around you because we know it is relatively harmless doesn't go a long way toward educating people or advancing our cause.
 
I never feel like a nutty boy when I vape I just try to do it in a respectful and classy way.

Actually it is not exactly your right to vape where you want. It is most definitely illegal to vape on about every US airline and I am seeing "No E-Cig" signs popping up everywhere. People that think they can vape anywher without ramifications willl continue to cause restrictions to be enhanced. I vape everywhere I can but if in question I ask. I do not have a bigger pet peeve, other than maybe cloud contests, than vapers especially subohm cloud blowers thinking they can fog up everywhere they go. In restaurants I excuse myself to the bathroom if I need a few draws unless it is openly allowed. I vape all day and low my employees to do the same at the businesses I run, in my car, home and almost anywher outside regardless but in stores, restaurants and other indoor public places I try to be discreet.
A modicum of discretion will go a long way to help instead of hurt our cause. 

Buried in work and spending insane hours there. By the time I get home, there's only been time for a quick shower then bed. Being an adult sucks. 

I enjoyed mixing your coffee and fruit flavors. So I guess it would be a mix your own for me.

​
To my knowledge, it would only apply to juice, as they want to make juice listed as a "tobacco product"... but give them time and they'll "try" to tax the hardware, too.

What Earth said...

Think of it this way. We spend stupid amounts of money on mods, tanks, rda's and juice. (All that nice looking crap.)

The bottom line is the damn batterys. Buy the best batterys and chargers out there. Without power, all that cool/neat looking stuff is nothing more than flushing your money down the flipping toilet.

Sorry for the slight rant. I guess I harp over battery safety a little to much.

I'm just gonna sit over here in the corner and keep my mouth shut.

Lmao at Tug...

I mix flavors all the time. It's amazing how good it is sometimes.

I'm dripping a coffee, strawberry, peach and light mint as I type...lol

^^^lmao^^^

Welcome to VT...

Don't mind Tugboat's naked butt and that damn dolphin. Ya get used to it after awhile...

HELL YES!!!...LOL
