Bought e-cig to quit dipping

[MongGrel]

That little Mini Vivi and the Spinner II are pretty impressive.

It's still not the Evic/Nautilus, but man, are pretty nice for smaller version.

Went ahead and ordered a Vamo V5, brushed Stainless Steel. 2x Sony US18650VTC3, and a Nitecore i2 charger. All said and done, i'm only out $50. Will take a few weeks to ship from overseas, but should be fun once it gets in.

Congrats on the Vamo. Have had one for a year its a tank.

I second the Vivi Mini. Its my wife's favorite clearo.

FYI for anyone who has an aspire nautilus but is worried about the Pyrex tank breaking, Aspire does sell a solid stainless steel tank and a hollowed stainless steel tank. You can also find custom designed stainless steel tanks on ebay for around $10.

Yeah, I'd seen those SS tanks for the Nautilus, but not worried about it yet myself it seems.

The Pyrex on those things is pretty thick to begin with.

I still might get a second Nautilus later, I like em.

I discovered vanilla. Damn its good.

I'm liking Vanilla myself, but it's a bit sweet in the mix I have going on daily.

Might keep the bottle I have with it with the Tobacco and Carmel and dilute it a bit and maybe even get some weaker nicotine base and play around with a few myself.

The vanilla I have strong as hell and could be diluted a bit.

I still like it.

Might not like it as much if I do mix it though, it tastes pretty good as it is.

Why do rebuilt coils perform better than stock coils? I've read how an RBA has much better performance than a clearomizer and it seems its mostly down to the coils. Why is making your own coil so much better than a stock coil in a decent clearomizer? Also, I see people pushing their Kayfuns to insane voltage with only a single coil in them. I would think that would fry any juice. I think one guy ran a 1.3ohm single coil (not dual) at like 4.6 volts. That's way crazy according to any chart.

Low ohm coils are almost a dead short. This is why most APVs/Mods will not operate with a low ohm coil. It is part of the protection circuit. The battery can catch fire if it is shorted or drained at too high a current.

Low ohm coils produce a very large amount of vapor.

I spent some time with a couple guys Thur. getting schooled in making and using them. I decided I was not intrested in them at this time. Manly due to the info I got from them stating to NOT use any liquid but 0 mg nic. in a low ohm coil.

Id not heard of that.

I personally have only done sub-ohm vaping with THC wax, too much of a hassle to do regularly though and it requires rebuilding your coil often as the THC destroys them pretty quick compared to e-liquid.

Maybe just these guys. They go through a lot of juice with the sub-ohm setup. And vape to get the nic. May be worried about getting too much nic. Both are former pack-a-day+ smokers. And the only people I know doing it. Spent a couple hours with them while then wound and tested coils. The clouds of vape one guy was putting out at 30 watts were huge.

OK, so I dove into rebuildables, but I have an odd issue. I put my new kayfun lite plus (euthentic) on the provari just to see how it fit, and the damn screw pin on the kayfun has sharp edges and it scratches the contact pin on the provari. I won't be doing that again until its fixed.
I thought about getting a hippo V2 for it but they are out of stock everywhere. I also considered lapping the head of the kayfun pin and deburring the edges with a dremel and some polishing compound to smooth it out. I might also lap the provari contact pin to make it shiny again.
Anyway, to any of you kayfun people out there, thoughts? Opinions?

Yeah that way is decent, not as good as using a sub-ohm RDA though. Much simpler I will grant you however

Maybe once MD opens up their dispensaries and there is a wider availability of wax/BHO/shatter I will invest in something like that. But for now I will do my oils at home on my Recycler.

Got the Kayfun working. Not bad for a first build i'd say. It hits at least as hard as the Aerotank i'd say. I can get better with a different coil build i'm pretty sure (and a better E-juice. Good god)

 

[jsbush]

Using one and its working for me. Also working for two of my buddies. I have another 3 buddies that tried it but they used it in combination with cigs and now months later and they are still using both.

Stick to just the vap and it'll work for most.

You have to want to quit, personally I think people who don't stop smoking with an e-cig really just don't care to quit. It's too easy otherwise.

Yea you have to want to. Otherwise ecig doesn't do anything for you.

Agreed 100%

I have several personal friends who have quit many year long tobacco habits, both smokes and dip by switching to e-cigs. Sure, we're still using an addictive substance, but at least its much better. (until it kills us)

I quite smoking 2-3 packs a day after 30 years cold turkey a couple years ago. I had an e-cig kit and never used it. The first week was rough but I no longer have to deal with the side effects of nicotine. I figured eventually they will say the e-cigs are bad too.

I'm going on about 15 months w/o smoking and have turned several people on to them who quit as well. All of us pretty much a hard switch from tobacco to e-cigs, no issues.

I feel FAR more confident in the ingredients and their known effects than tobacco so yeah. Even if it turns out bad, it'll be less bad. I hope.

There's a decent case to be made for little to no bad side effect of the process if you do a no nicotine mix. Nicotine's side effects are fairly well known.

New aspire Nautilus Mini tank was just released, it uses a new Single bottom vertical coil. The mini holds 2ml instead of 5ml.

I haven't found any reviews, but this guy has a quick 3 min introduction he released while he is working on the full review. So far it looks promising.

Gonna have to try one of these nautilis heads. I want one of the smaller ones though. I'll wait to get the newest one I suppose.

I'm going to shoot Aspire for being innovative in the near future, that single vertical coil looks pretty nice on the Mini Nautilus, but still have two brand new Mini ViVi's that are virgins atm, so I'll just wait to see if WorldofVape picks em up and the prices possibly drop.

I need to spend a bit on E-Juice more than hardware atm and mix a few things on my own, but that mini Nautilus looks it can do some serious vaping.

 

[QueBert]

So the new coils from the new mini work with the regular Nautilus? SWEET I'll be buying them.
