Life Anyone here doing the E-Cig / Vape thing? - Page 14

**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.

Nice. I just watched a revue on it tonight and the guy highly recommended it. Can you pop back in from time to time in this thread and give a rundown as you use it more? I'd appreciate it. That one is on my maybe list.

I've been using the kanger evod for a few months and haven't had any issues with it. I love the thing. As long as you don't over tighten the battery to the tank you won't have any flooding issues. I picked up the full kit with 2 full evods for abut 50 bucks. I posted a link earlier in the thread to where I got my setup.

Edit: here's the link

This is the kit I bought. It comes with 2 complete e cigs, a charger, and 5 replacement coils. It's a great deal and has worked great for me. You just have to find the right fluids that you like.

The evod looks nice. It's smaller and I think might fit better, but I'd have to grab an eGo/510 adapter for it. Still an alternative, thanks.

Will do. It has the best adjustable airflow system on the market. Right now Ive got it on my Smok ZMAX set at 8 watts and it produces the best combination of flavor/throat hit/vapor of any of my tanks. There are four airflow settings that let you fine tune it just to your taste/ hit.

I think I do get stronger flavor from the Hypertank but there are drawbacks to that tank build that are not present in the Nautilus such as gurgling, leaking, burnt hits from time to time etc. My Iclear 30s has nothing on the Nautilus as do none of the Vivi Novas or any of my lower level tanks.

So far its flawless and I just ordered a stainless steel replacement tank of ebay because I dont want to vape out of anything else now but I work outdoors and am a little worried about the pyrex glass breaking. I will keep you posted on how it works going forward.

Watch out, the batteries included in the starter kits are usually shit.

I have too many ****ing liquids man. I started reading e-cigarette-forum and saw all these juices that people were gushing about.

I think I have something like 50 - 60 different flavors right now.

Thanks, that really is a nice looking tank. I had seen a comment about "all that exposed glass" in a revue before and was wondering about going with more metal. I just got the two iClear 30's in today with the SVD. To be honest they are a bit goofy looking and I'm not fond of the swivel. I won't be able to get a good feel for it until I get a battery charged. I am pretty sure I'll be looking for another tank to use with it.

The 16's fit (stylistically) with my iTaste perfectly though and they work well enough. It's a nice little thing to carry around, fits in a shirt or jacket pocket. It's the closest to the overall feeling of being a smoker that I've found. It actually reminds me of the old cigarette holders from decades ago when I use it.

I was digging around and found a really big post on an e-cig board about batteries. I am (going to be) using a 2000mAh 16850 IMR Li-Mn in mine:

I've haven't been fully following this thread.

Let me speak on a few things I've seen on this last page.

Aerotanks Pros:
-Holds a lot of juice
-Glass tank (Some Menthol/Cinnamon/Citrus flavors will melt plastic tanks)
-Adjustable Airflow

Cons:
-Requires cleanup every refill (about 30 seconds each time)
-Leaving it with juice in it in the heat will cause juice to leak out of the tank
-Taste isn't as great as regular Evod Tanks (My Opinion Only)

As far as batteries, buy them from here and let me know if you have any questions. I've been researching E-Cigs for months now and I know a lot.

I just bought 2 Sony VTC5's there for about $10.29 each and that's cheaper than anything on ebay and this guy is reputable and you won't be ripped off.

If you let me know what mod you have or which one you are thinking about, I can recommend to you what I think is the best battery for your mod (some heavy duty batteries will be overkill on some mods).

Those are good batteries and a nice mod.

This is from a blog post on that e-cig forum, but these batteries are generally considered the best and safest (blog post is about 8 months old and there are some newer batteries not on this list). The last# column is Continuous Discharge Rate. That number is only important if you are building your own coils.

Do they make any of those things that hit like a half sucked down Marlboro red?

**Buck** · 03-25-2014, 03:45 PM

Here's my setup. The mod is a Zmax v5.

This is a RBA (rebuildable atomizer). It's called an IGO-W, which is the most basic RBA there is. You build a coil and screw it into the posts and then run some sterile cotton through the coil. The. You drip juice on it. Vapor production and flavor are boosted enormously doing this.

Cotton in coil soaked with juice

Firing

With the cap and drip tip on

Yes, you can play with it until it does. Stop smoking and start vaping. Seriously, do it. You won't regret making the switch.
