Vaping - Electronic Cigarettes
#91
Got my Kanger mega kit today, fantastic, getting a better hit and flavour than on the **** Bought a few liquids, british tobacco, prime and some butterscotch, all 18mg. The brit tobacco is a bit harsh using my preferred voltage of 4.3v. Is it ok to mix a little bit of the liquids, or best just to wash out the tank before refreshing? And how low can you let the liquid go in the tank, until the flavour goes completely? I used a whole tank of liquid in a day, is that normal?

I got off the tobacco flavours pretty quickly, they just taste of ash tray. Use whatever you need to in order not to light up, combustion sucks way more than filling your tank. Washing and drying is a good idea but I'm a slacker and just pour in what I fancy, sometimes mixing premium and cheap juice, it's all good. I boil the atomiser after a while as if you think about it it's quite disgusting.
As said before that's an OK kit. The Mega tank is too big for my taste and the battery too small. Shop around and you'll find the one you want.
I'd buy an eLeaf iStick if I was buying a battery right now and I'm really happy with the Kanger EMOW head just make sure you get the updated version 3 atomisers.

The mega tanks are great,i have 3,the giant is a good tank too along with kanger turbo ,this has 2 1.8ohm coils in parallel to give 0.9ohms without any burning. Its huge and heavy but a good vape all the same.
My fav at the moment is the Joytech Delta,this has 3x4.2ohm coils in parallel so gives 1.4ohm and again no burning,this along with the turbo require at least 4v,ideally up to 5v ish(or around 15w ) for best vape/flavour.
There is a new kanger subtank coming out in the next few weeks which i will try out too.....
Devices wise i have provari(not best tbh but solid dependable device and good for 15W) a VV odyssey which imo is one of the bestand good for 25W,stainless and with a 5yr warranty unlike most that have 12 months........ Other than that i have e-vic and what i am using right now the vaporshark rDNA which is good for 30w(enough for me).
Vapershark rDNA with a 25r cell(30A)and Delta next to it
Get sharkskins too which protect unit
Advantage is usb charged and can be used whilst charging(also a charging kit can be bought that you just sit the VS on.
Make my own fluid too,amazing how much can be saved
VV ody and Delta
This one is a fav of the ladies
The giant tank on the right on the provari
Turbo tank on the VS
Inside the turbo tank with duel coils (quad to be exact as each is a duel coil)
Giant and 2 of my 3 mega tanks
I have not smoked since Jan13 so coming up to 2yrs,could argue i have not saved as much as i should have but in a way its helped me. I buy the right equipment for me,then i would buy cigs,more so if i have spent best part of £200 on a tank and box mod............so it works

In work i have anual health checks,one of which is lung capacity,this has improved !!!
Having read all the facts and ignored all the crap on TV regarding negativity etc due to biased and in short ignorant claims.............one of the best was a press report about a chemical found in a specific VIP flavour that was taken off the shelf before it was sold. In short the chemical they were making a fuss about was found in cigarettes........
Main risks are from cheap China imported ecigs and fluids,stick with reputable brands/sellers and its less than 5% as harmful as cigs.
Little vid here that i find for once refreshing!!

Also what liquids do you guys prefer and where from? I like the £1 Liquid Premium best so far, haven't tried many different flavours apart from some butterscotch which i have next in line. How much to pay? i would say £2.50 is at the low end and up to £5 for 10ml bottles. Where are you getting the larger bottles from?
#101
Totally Wicked Red Label fluid is very good quality, it's what i'm using myself. Ive tried quite a few fluids, normally you can tell the difference with the cheaper ones. If you use their fluid keep an eye out for the yo-yo offers, i normally buy in bulk when its on offer as you save a lot.

www.cloudhousevapor.com mostly, that 250ml above is the biggest I've bought, £30'ish with discount code, sometimes The Alchemists Cupboard, strong flavour but clogs coils fast and LiQuid as a backup.
As for health, it's obviously far better than combusting something, but it's not a healthy thing to do.

Look for an Innokin MVP 2 or eLeaf iStick both are low cost or one of the huge ***** looking ones. The MVP will be easy to get the iStick is in demand.
#104
Appreciate the suggestions, i don't want a square box battery though, i like the feel of a traditional round shape in my hand.
Why do you think an Innokin Itaste VV V3.0 paired with a Kanger Aerotank Mega is going to be top heavy and won't last long, sure someone in this thread is using the same setup and they were getting a good vape as that's where i got the idea from.

I stay away from cheap fluids and only buy branded ones so i know what is in them,there are several good brands out there,however i find TW fluid the best out of ones i have tried.........
Bought liquids i tend to go for the patriot range,mixed berry or Blue&blackberry.
Now i make my own i find it works out around a 1/3 of the cost.30ml bottle for example of patriot would be around £14 .Making the equivalent around £5.
Bottles of PG and AG ,normal mix is 70/30 ish of PG/AT .The PG is throat hit,AG for vape so mixing your own you can customise your exact vape,be it more throat hit or less etc,more flavour etc etc..........
So i tend to go 60 PG and 40 AG at present after experimenting,i want to keep the throat hit down but trying not to fill the room with vape!!!
I use calculators like
http://www.c9v-forum.com/Resources/Calc/calc.htm
Fill the bits in,my nicotine is 72mg,strength is 18mg(medium approaching high) and usually make around 30-50ml a time.
Now i am not one for counting drops,so i have a 50ml beaker,poor in the worked out ml,one after another............easy as that.
So for 15% flavour making 30ml
Nic-7.5ml
PG/AG/VG(AG is diluted VG so easier for wicking)This is 18ml so i would use 10ml of PG and 8ml of AG
Flavour is 4.5ml
Just a rough example
Kits wise are not cheap at 1st ,but compared to buying fluid a lot cheaper long term.
http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co....g-product.html
Bare in mind the nicotine is the dear bit,also your getting bottles etc too. Once you need to replace PG or AG etc they are around £4 a 100ml........
I use the old 100ml PG/AG bottles for storing fluid

If you're looking for a similar size the EMOW kits are a good size, I have a Vision Spinner 2, VV only but pretty good ma h. Im pretty sure Kanger have a new VV/VW battery out that ticks all the boxes but they're scarce right now.
I've used the MVP to charge my phone more than once and It's replaced Nokia as my portable hammer. Great bit of kit, V3 out soon I hear.

Vision Spinner 2 is great but having to have a charger adaptor thingie is a pain in the ****, plus with VV only you have to turn it up as it runs down.

Yes, but I'd be tempted to wait or find one of these http://www.ukecigstore.com/kanger-ipow2-1600mah.html variable wattage and USB charging.

So what adjustable volt/watts battery and tank combination is going to give me the best hit, i'd probably be looking around the £30 mark for a battery and say around £25 for the tank. I'm flexible on prices, i just want a consistent good hit with no burbling or leaks.

Ven, not even sure what I'm looking at with all that kit to be honest, but it looks impressive lol. Funnily enough I was just thinking they look like some custom titanium torches off candlepower forums, then I see you're actually into them too.
I know very little about smoking apart from the fact I tried it many times when younger to look cool and hated it, I even wanted to smoke when I was a kid but just couldn't stomach it.
What's going to be the downside with these devices? My work mate has one and he literally smokes it non stop all day! He never even smoked **** before hitting vaping hard. Does make me wonder how many people will start using them just for a fix. At the end of the day they were designed to help people get off smoking, now they're making some people get far more nicotine than they ever did. Funny really that something aimed at weening you off an addiction is making it worse for some.

I've been using an Ecig for about 3 years now. I still have the occasional real *** but it's not very often, usually on a Saturday afternoon if I'm working in the garage.
I started using nicolites and picked up a kit from tesco for £20. I haven't ever changed, I think the nicolites are fantastic. They do fancy flavours but I always stick with tobacco. The thing I like about the nicolite is that it still looks like a real ***. The battery lasts a day as does the cartridge (roughly 20 cigs worth). I get 3 cartridges for £6 from my local shop so I know it's not the cheapest form of ecig but it works for me. I cant imagine having one of those huge things above, I'd feel a prat getting that out while out and about....

Yeh,its 6 of 1 and 1/2 a dozen of the other tbh but its all open to interpretation of poor press reports,impressions,opinions.........
I can only give my opinion so nor right or wrong,they can be and have been used successfully to give up. Various strengths from 32mg down to 0mg can be bought/made to wean off the nicotine. Yes agree i have more than i would as use more,however i dont have the 3-4000 cancer causing chemicals too,also the chemicals in ecig fluid(around 5 in the fluids) are all none cancerous. They are an alternative to smoking with less potential consequences to health...........Even chemists and Nicorets have jumped on the band waggon.......its all about the ££££££££
After all alcohol is a drug,still gets sold,look at the health implications that has!! If smoking is so so bad...........why can we buy them still. Just double standard *beep* governments ...........and the EU
So if i want("IF") I can by lowering my nic levels,i dont right now and enjoy vaping,if it does get spoiled,it will be down to the E "F-in" U
So that is my opinion,not saying right..............
CPF i have a vinh special on the way
Triple quad XPL
Huge solid copper heat sink
More than a re-map
Well the money saved from not smoking i can treat myself
