noobie from midlands uk

[exosteve]

hi peeps my name is steve and I live in the midlands in the uk.

I have played about with cheap ecigs in the past and ended up smoking cigars and ecig .

my lungs were rasping more than and old fashiond washing board.

I managed to quit the cigars with help from medication from my doctor. .

I have now quit that too and been off it for a good few weeks . and my lungs feel like theve cleared up no end.

however I do like smoking and brought a couple of basic ecigs and things are going swimmingly.

but im a bit fed up of the coils burning out and the batteries don't seem very good and im also fed up of them leaking on the batteries.

so ive just been to the local specialist and brought the foggy v4 and the stingray mod.

after watching a couple of youtube vids I manage to do a build on the foggy. but my god its a bit much with 24mg nicotine.

I am looking for a good lungfull of smoke without the flavours of the juice being burnt of me being burnt.

so far I have built the coils but its way to harsh to smoke and it taste burnt.

im using a 18650 battery and I also got a little electronic device that supposed to be adjustable voltage and fit in the mod but is slightly too big...

I will be returning to the shop for more advice but any help on here would be appreciated

cheers steve

I really think a regulated device might be in order for you, something with Variable Voltage or Variable Wattage. Something like the MVP 2.0 would be good, it was my main device for a while and I'll probably never get rid of it. But if you're building really low ohm builds on the fogger you might need something with more power. Either that or consider going with something like Nautilus Aspire tank up top, for more of the "set it and forget it" convenience.

With variable wattage, the device will sense what ohm resistance your coils you make are, and then adjust the voltage to give you the correct wattage. Of course, most of the regulated devices aren't designed for super sub 1 ohm cloud blowing competition type atomizer custom coil rebuilds. But if one will work for you, will allow you to start at lower power and keep bumping it up until it begins to taste burnt, then back it down one step. It will also give you a more consistent output regardless of battery capacity, unlike the mechanical mods. The MVP 2.0 runs around $45 U.S. when purchased online, sometimes on sale they're like $38.

Other people more familiar with mechanical mods can point you in a better direction than me for devices that your Kick or whatever external voltage regulator you have will fit inside of.

In your first post I don't see anything about an ohm meter when you built your coil. Did you check the resistance before you starting using it? If not, and you don't have an ohm meter -- STOP! Don't go any further. We stress safety first! Always. Always check your coils on an ohm meter before putting them on your battery.

If you did check the ohms of your build, then good for you.

Also, you'll never get a lungful of smoke when vaping. If you do, then your battery's on fire...

That's funny!
