The VV is 800mah, other than that it's great. 1600mah mininum for me.

With the old style heads 3 days use was something that could happen. Not so much with the new ones. Sweet juices kill clog coils fast, I have a coffee, cream and sugar that's messy but tastes great. Anyhow, if it tastes like **** change the head or fix it.

I mean the coil. It's 20 days since I switched to the updated coils and I'm still using #2. First one lasted nearly 2 weeks mostly using cheap LiQuid, second is on it's way to tasting a bit off. I think they're less than £2 each you tight git.

ah ok, it seems a lot better this morning, probably needed to dry out properly. The coil does crackle and pop quite a bit if the button is held for more than 2secs, is that normal or have i fecked the coil?

They're at least £2.50 each or £8 for 5 is the best i've seen. If they last weeks that's fine, but its not so good if they only last days. I'll end paying nearly as much for coils than i did for 20fags each week!

All sounds good. Cracking and popping is fine, it dies down as the coil gets used. £8 for 5 is a pretty good deal and if you get through that many in the time it took you to smoke £8 of cigarettes you have an issue. Keep an eye on different sites and you'll find offers and discounts, I picked up a couple of 5 packs for a fiver each when I bought my EMOW. What wattage are you running, maybe take it down a bit, I usually settle down at 8 or 8.5.

Wattage is like cruise control for voltage, if you want the same experience with the spinner you'll need to up your voltage as your battery runs down, setting wattage keeps it constant for you, no biggie.

It's a great battery, apart from needing a charger.

I thought the coils lasted longer,I only got 5 spare with my new kit,I better stock up! Just looking at coils fleabay and 12.50£ for 20 sounds cheap,should the cheap ones be avoided? And recommendations on good quality ones at a reasonable price ?

The darker your fluid, the quicker your atomiser becomes less effective as they get clogged up. Stick to light coloured fluids.

While i'm here, how reputable are these people ?

http://myepack.co.uk/

Ive seen a few people in the thread linking their products.

It was just me being a noob at vaping, i'm going to clean my coil out with hot water every night, that should prolong its life. I wouldn't bother with the cheap ones, they probably wont last long at all, but it depends on what device/coils you use as well. These kanger dual coils are pretty decent but obviously only work in Kanger products.

It's more to do with sweet/sugary e-fluids that clog up coils. Myepack, really good in my experience so far, next day delivery so far for 2 orders i've made, decent prices and a question answered same day by their support.

I ordered my kanger mini protank from myepack and next day delivery,not started with it yet tho,still finishing mi bakki off. I will look to make my own coils eventually but for now will order some decent ones to be going on with. I'm gonna start on tobacco liquids then maybe move to different flavours. I've got 15 from poundliquids mostly tobacco a couple of menthol and aniseed

I am all for people packing in the ****. , but in reality it is just a convenient way to perpetuate the habit in public places where all forms of nicotine use should be banned. My local pub is now full of smelly vapour.

Good job I have pretty much packed up alcohol and only frequent places that where bans are still in place for all type of smoking/vaping.

That's a downside, but it's a temporary one for sure. I don't mind the odd stealth toot, if you hold it in its gone in seconds, but I don't want clouds of vapor in my food.

I try not to vape in non smoking areas and am pretty good at it but then I smoked outside when it was allowed indoors.

We're constantly being dowsed in the stuff anyhow, you can even get a corporate smell made, Witherspoons use a steak smell and supermarkets use bread. You can google a link to the biggest manufacturer, I was surprised how widespread it is as I thought it had been banned.

I've never seen Prozzie flavour but do vape Palma Violets which might be similar.

My £6 ego copy from eBay is now over a month old and is still going strong. Had to replace the clearomizer as I dropped it and it cracked. But it only cost me £8 for 5. Seriously, try the cheap ones. No rebuilding, just throw away and buy another. I think with the money you have spent so far, I could buy 20 ego vaporizers!

If you want to do that then fine, to me it's wasteful and I have no doubt nothing like the same experience. My first purchase was a real EGO battery with a real CE4 Clearomizer, it was OK, got me off the ****, but trust me it's nothing like the modern versions. Stop being tight and buy yourself a Kanger EMOW, it's a massive upgrade to what you're using, yes it will cost you a bit more but this isn't just a bit of fun it's your health.

If you have the hands of woman possibly. They are light and just longer than a regular ***. You're laughing now, but this will be the norm in no time.

Are any of you vapers using any holders for the e-liquid bottles? As I have over 20 10ml bottles now, i need some kind of decent container. Any suggestions?

Ive listened the suggestions, this is the combo i'll to try, they are back in stock on friday apparently.

http://myepack.co.uk/kanger-ipow-2-1600-mah.html

http://myepack.co.uk/review/product/list/id/1500/

Are these the right atomisers for that tank as it doesn't list the Emow in the list of compatible tanks, also what's the best Ohm atomiser to go for with the combo above for the best hit ?

You want the upgraded 1.8ohm dual coil for the EMOW mega tank, the one you quoted is the older coil.

The reviews don't look good at all for the upgraded version
