Life Anyone here doing the E-Cig / Vape thing? - Page 23

**pr_capone** · 11-17-2013, 03:05 AM

Thanks to my vape, I've had only one single cigarette in the past 3 weeks. I have zero cravings for them and I feel considerably better. In fact, I still have about 5 smokes left in a pack and just can't see myself smoking those... don't want to.

Even better... 5ml of juice, which costs $5, lasts me about 2 weeks meaning that I am spending less in the long run. I only smoked, at most, a pack a week... but still.

I tried the Blu E-Cigs but they were terrible. Trying to "smoke" out of one of those was like trying to take a hit off a joint that was rolled WAY to tight.

I'm using an eGo-V v2 mega battery with variable voltage control with a gravity tank.

Very nice life on the battery, and the batteries charge in about 2.5 hours. It doesn't feel like smoking a cigarette. It feels like a pipe because of the size. It also has some nice heft to it. You really notice that you are carrying something around with you. That can be annoying for someone who is used to cigs but I don't drop it or worry about crunching it in my pocket.

I am still using the old iClear 30. It's not a great clearomizer. The beauty ring on the SVD has two small holes holes drilled into it on opposite ends but I am not getting the airflow I like with it. I feel better draw on my iTaste VV 3.0 with an iClear 16. In fact I put the 16 on my SVD and got better draw then the 30 so I am pretty sure when I upgrade my clearomoizer I will be set. I am leaning heavily in favor of the Nautilus for my SVD. I am thinking that the right clearomizer is going to do me up right with this thing.

I am still alternating the SVD and the VV. I tend to take a VV with me when I go out of town because the size is so convenient and it really feels like a cig. The bad thing is that the batteries are built in, when they go your VV is dead. It's not like they are outrageously priced but with the SVD you just get more batteries. That's the big deal for me. There is a great battery store in the next town over from me and I see deals online all of the time. I want a cheap and convenient smoking replacement and the SVD is going to do it for me.

I would highly recommend a protank II over the iclear. It's bottom fed and I never have issues with it. Replacement coils can be found cheap for it as well. I'm on mobile so I can't provide the link, but google protank vs iclear and look what they are saying about the comparison on ecig forums.

Welcome to the dark side. You'll have 20+ flavors before you know it.

I just upgraded from a Kanger Pro Tank II to an Aspire Nautilus with a custom stainless steel replacement tank.
So far I'm very happy, it's a cloud maker, and its indestructible =)

Oh shit. Cups O' Peanut Butter. It moved.

Has anybody tried the suicide bunny line? I tried some at the shop I go to, that stuff was the smoothest juice I've ever come across. It's a high end juice and for 22 bucks a bottle it better be. The ecig forums had alot of good things to say about it and from what I read most thought the price tag was worth it.

Do you rebuild the coils in that thing or do they come prebuilt?

listopencil · 04-01-2014, 01:34 PM

No, but I just mixed the peanut butter with the mocha and threw in a touch of nic. I am wracked with power like an insane god.

Whoarethechefs · 04-01-2014, 01:51 PM

I have not jumped into the rebuilding coils thing yet,....yet =)
The replacement heads for the Aspire only cost $15.00 for a five pack and each one lasts at least a week.

I just tried Honey Flue Cured. Wow. Tastes just like a fresh smoke on every vape. I ended up not being very brand loyal when smoking, I'd just grab whatever was on sale and mostly go with Marlboro or Camel, so your mileage may very. But this is a decent cig emulating flavor.

**mdchiefsfan** · 04-01-2014, 05:08 PM

Glad to hear your order went well.

Thanks again for linking Mister E Liquid. The flavors are great and the prices are reasonable.

Prebuilt is good for me so far, but it can be done

nice review. I think the SVD is what im looking for. Once you get a better clearomizer I think you wont have any problems with the draw.
