Another set up I bought that is impressive is the New Vision Spinner 1600 m with a Kanger Protank mini a 1.8 head and this thing rocks All day Im putting My Provari V2.5 down and picking this up which is great for the times you want performance but in a small pkg. I have 2 DNA Mods coming that I will also share and My Third one will Be The Provari 3 .

I think you are, lol. ..

Actually, I understand that not everyone likes everything.

I have had some customers that don't like them because they prefer a pen style over a box.

Why didn't you like yours, just curious?

My wife and I are two more that werent a fan of the "box" style...went to our local B&M shop to check them out and decided to pass, instead we got a deal on a segeli zmax (telescoping) and love it

I started vaping just over 3 weeks ago.

Went to a great local shop and got a Vision Spinner II. Great battery life so far and the voltage adjustment is nice. I run it right in the middle setting at 3.8v. With the 1600mah battery, I am getting well over a day on a single charge.

My first battery was a vision spinner. They're great for the price. What kind of tank are you using?

Look up the Eleaf istick, i just got these in stock and actually retired my MVP!

Variable voltage, Variable wattage, 20 amp, 2200 mah. All this and only slightly larger than a Bic lighter! I'm on day three and still at 80% charge!

Reviving this thread. hehe.

Just read through the whole thing and smoke is coming out of my ears. My sister bought an e-cig from a 7-11 about 2 weeks ago and has been loving it the whole time. GF and I tried it n we both like it. She smokes, I do not but I am thinking of getting into vaping with her as she wants to quit smoking and I would like to "smoke" something as I like cigars but never really get a chance to do so.

Most of you know all the jargon and such but my main question right now is what do you guys recommend for someone starting out? We would like a pen/tube type vaporizer. It looks like the Kanger II or Kanger EVOD are good starters? My friend gets all his stuff online from Mount Baker.

My personal thought (at least I wish someone told my wife and I this from the get go) is bypass the little starter kits. Get yourself a decent VV/VW mod and a nice tank, that way when you get a few months into it you won't be shelling out more money.

Heh, just like with snakes, get the better enclosure now so you don't have to upgrade later.
Tis a good tip.

Very true, I'd say between my wife and I we wasted a good 150 figuring out what we wanted, what would last etc.

Neither of us really have any interest in Mec Mods or Sub Ohms. That being said I have been looking at a few different mods and can't really find much info other than some like it and some hate it, so I thought I would see if anyone has tried any that I have been looking at or had any other suggestion. I don't feel like dumping the money out for a provari so I have been looking at the Tesla, The Innokin Itaste SVD, Smoketech SID and the Sigelei Zmax... I want to be able to have a mod that will run an 18650, read the ohms on the coil, and I like the idea of having more than 1 button on it, that way you don't fire it when checking the ohms or cycle through the menu. Ay input or thoughts? Thanks.

Hey jclaiborne I have been vaping for 5 years and I have 40 different Mods because I wanted to learn about the models the good and the Bad plus it's been fun, on the MVP yes its a internal battery but if this helps I have my very first MPV S and they still work fine 4 years later[emoji4] I do hear what your sayin it broke my heart to dump my dead Vision spinners and ego twist most my mods run on 18650 AW rechargeable s if you have a question on a model maybe I can help you if its one I have hands on experience with and I have tried every tank out there and I have a few I really like.[emoji111]

Found these links. One is a Vaping 101 type and the other is for abbreviations.

Found a local shop and got some questions answered. It was nice to see stuff in person. I think I may price out various parts and put together a couple customized e-cig starters for the gf and me while also getting a relatively cheap starter for testing flavors.

I have three rigs that I use. For work, and riding on the bike, I carry my old eGo with the standard Smok ebc tank. I can wear it around my neck on a lanyard or tuck it in my pocket. Not fancy, but functional. My everyday vaping rig is an Itaste MVP with a Trophy V2 tank. My cloud rig is a Caravelle mod with an 18650 battery. The RDA is a Cigreen X-V2, four post. It is set up with dual, twisted coils, .3 ohms. I also have a Nimbus RDA set up with twisted sleeper coils, also .3 ohms. I use 26ga. Kanthal. I get respectable clouds, but not competition...yet. While I occassionally try different flavors, my default juice is Butterscotch VG.

I've been thinking about trying the G-plat. I've talked to a couple of people who said that it was good for competition, but recommended Kanthal for daily use. I will welcome any thoughts or opinions on the pros/cons.

Found these; good explanation and chart IMO:

http://www.discountvapers.com/what-o...ould-i-choose/
http://www.discountvapers.com/how-to...-what-battery/

The guy has a chart for what he calls the "sweet spot" in his opinion though. It's helping me grasp some of what's going on and what I may/may not want.

For my all day setup I was using an MVP but just upgraded to an Eleaf istick. I run a protank 2 on it. I know there are better tanks but this tank never let's me down and my coils usually last about a month using 1.5 ohm. Probably the best tank right now is the Nautilus bvc.

I have recently acquired a tug boat hex ohm 50 watt that has really taken over throughout the day. It has a tug boat rda and is built at .3 ohm. Great flavor and hit. Much better than any tank out there like most drippers.

For clouds i have an authentic brass monkee. I run it at .12 ohm with 24ga parallel 5 wrap. This mod is a beast! Monster clouds.

I would also recommend skipping the starter kits and start off with variable wattage. This will allow you to get a bigger hit without having to work so hard for it. MVP is a great mod but the istick is much smaller and is adjustable to 20 watts.

As far as wire for rebuilding, I prefer kanthol. Ni chrome ramps up to slow for me. I hadn't tried g plat yet but have heard good things.

Pyrate, as for getting your gf set up to quit smoking, there are 4 important things to be successful
1. Pick a device. Starter kits work and i See people quit smoking with them daily. Most starter kit batteries are fixed voltage and only put out 3.7v. If you get a starter kit, be sure to get a double kit. It is important to have backup if you want to quit smoking. Usually people end up upgrading into variable voltage/ wattage as they give you the ability to adjust your hit. They give you a bigger hit without having to work so hard for it.

2. Find the correct nicotine level. My suggestions. ..
6mg for 1/2 pack per day smoker
12mg for 1 pack per day
18mg, 1.5 packs
24mg, 2 packs a day

3. Find a flavor that she really likes. Try a bunch of flavors and don't settle for something that is just ok. If she doesn't like the flavor she may reach for a real cig instead.

4. Get rid of the cigs completely. If she depends solely on her ecig when she is having cravings, it won't take her long to realise how good they work. If she keeps real smokes around, she may end up using both :(

Hope this helps!

Great advice. Ty. The pull she took off my sister's made her think she can go 0% nicotine in the juice. I'm thinking if I find the right menthol flavor and put together a nice rig, she'll be in great shape. I'll probably get a juice with the order that has 6mg or 12mg in it JIC she really needs the fix. A friend of mine quite smoking on a starter kit but he's also using a 12mg nicotine mix I think. If not, then it's a 0%. When you get a chance PM me your FB page.

I'd definitely get her the right nicotine level to support her habit. 0mg will not help with nicotine withdraw and she will end up smoking again. As she gets a little time under her belt, smoke free, she can drop her nicotine level to wean her self off. I'll pm the fb page. Thanks!

I have just recently got into variable wattage box mods and i can honestly say i love em and the flavor is so much better . My mvp 2.0 was nice butbo barely even touch it now. I use mu sigelie 150w and my cloupor mini 30w all the time. Even my expensive valkyrie sits around most of the time now. For rdas and rtas i switch back and forth between my dark horse , my orchid v3, and my magma. Dark horse is good for cloud chasing as it has crazy air flow and my magma and orchid are better for flavor.

What vv/vw mod do you have? If its the mvp 2.0 or most others you can only use coils that are 1 ohm or greater

I have a Zmax and my wife has the IPV mini, I currently can't go below 1.2, but that will be enough for me to decide if I even want to mess with dripping. Honeslty I see no reason to go sub-ohm anyways, I'm not trying to chase clouds by any means. I didn't want to shell out cash for a whole other mod just to find out I hated dealing with it. Got the IGO for 18 bucks, so if its a pain then it wasn't a hard hit on the wallet.

Yeah i did the same before i got into drippers. Lower ohms are not just for clouds they create a denser more flavorful vape. I normally vape at between .5 and .6 ohms I rarely go below .3 ohm buts its nice knowing i can

I have a 1.5 ohm build that i put on a plume veil just so i could run it at 20 watts on my istick. Although it makes an ok cloud, it is a very cool Vape and i rarely use it, except to show to customers.

I tend to like a warmer Vape. .3 ohms is really nice on my tugboat/hex ohm setup. But cloud chasing or not, nothing beats the flavor and warm vapor of my .12 build.

A lot of the newer vw boxes allow sub ohm builds. A few of them allow down to a .2
But it doesn't really matter when you can fire them up to 150 watts or more, even though most people never go above 50 watts.

Well I guess Im part of the cool kids now. LoL
I havent had a cowboy killer in almost 4 years.
Went to Texas Vape here in San Antonio to try and get my wife to quit smoking. We have both smoked for over 20 years.
Well it kind of backfired on me.
She found a flavor she said she liked in the store.
During the time she was with the sales guy I sat down at the tester wheel.
Needless to say we walked out of there with 2 kits and 3 flavors.
A couple days later she said she didnt like the flavor as much as she thought.
We have tried a couple other stores in the area trying to find a true Marboro flavor that she would like. Well after a huge argument and me telling her some really harsh realities we decided that she will continue to smoke. Reminded her that her health affects us both and if she isnt willing to try then Im not willing to help anymore.
Yes we are still married, been together 23 years........

All that being said I have two CLK 1280s and probably 10 or 12 Aspire ETS tanks.
Running both double and single coil tanks.
No nicotine in any of my juices, most all in house mixes from Texas Vape.
Helps that they are litterally a block from my house.
The one juice that I am hooked on is from Suicide Bunny. Derailed!!

I wanted a Cool Fire 2 until I saw how small it really is.
Still learning about all this as its only been a couple of months.

Was over a friend's house last night and tried his kanger II with an apple flavor in it with a 50/50 mix and 12mg nicotine. Didn't care for the hit on my throat and the inability to get a deep pull with it like on my sister's 'cheapy' from 7-11. I think the big thing with it was my sister has 100% vg with no nicotine in her tank so I know I'll be going the VG route for smoothness. I'm a non-smoker so I'm obviously going 0mg nicotine.


Pit, sorry it didn't work out for your wife. Hopefully she'll try it again. Good for you with sticking with it though. :thumb up: :smile:

The higher the nicotine level the bigger the throat hit. 0 nic is usually easy on the throat in any pg/vg mix but vg is noticeably smoother. I have found that a 50/50 mix seems to give the best flavor in a tank. Super high vg wicks slowly in a tank and can cause dry hits. Most people reserve max vg for rdas.with that being said, I have a few customers that enjoy max vg in tanks. It's all personal preference :)

True, I just figured my current tank is 2.1 ohms, so i figured going from that even down to 1.5 just to give it a try would be enough of a difference to know if I like it or not. Then its just deciding if I keep my vmax with my tank for travel and get a mech mod or a VV 50 or 150W box mod. I just don't like the idea of an unregulated Mod, I know that they can be used safely, but still just not sure on it yet.

On a side note I also have some new batteries comming in, Panasonic NCR18650PFs, should be a nice little upgrade. Now I just need to find the drip tip I want for the IGO and I will be set.

Has anyone seen or heard of a release on the Innokin MVP3.0??

Interesting, I wonder if eventually they will come out with a 50W model. We were looking at the MVPs but went with the IPV mini for my wife because I like the ability to be able to replace the battery. It would be nice if instead of releasing a 30W, 50W, etc model someone just came up with a way to load new firmware to the chips and upgrade the controller.

Well, now I have to gloat a little LoL
Went to look at what they had in stock and the wife gave the okay for me to spend my little left over Christmas stash.

Got a Sigelei 150 and a Nautilus Mini!!

Awesome setup! Look into the Atlantis tank or the Kanger subtank if yoy want to get a bigger cloud with that box!

I just recently got a sigelei 150w and i love it and its nice because you can build coils down to .1 ohms. I currently have a dark horse rda clone sitting on top of it and its awesome

Not that big at all. A little bigger than 3 18650 batteries laying next to eachother.
Mine is silver.

My batteries only last about 5 to 6 hours but thats vaping between 30-50w and on .6 ohms coils, but i also have 2 sets of batteries 2 vtc4s at 30 amps each and 2 vamped vapor cells at 40 amps each

My IGO got here yesterday, but it didn't come with a drip tip. Will be picking one up today. I was reading the instructions on the wife's IPV Mini and it says it can go down to a .5 coil and put out 30 watts, so I'll give that a try instead of using the VMax
