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.

Hey guys, not to derail the current conversation, but wanted to get some input from everyone, I am tired of having to buy a new vision battery for my wife and I every 6 months and am looking into getting a VV/VW mod. Currently we both use vision spinners with the Iclear 30s tanks. I may end up getting a RDA at some point and just build higher ohm coils(for at home and still use the Iclear out and about). 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 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.

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:

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!
