Cary on vaping, vipers. Here's the new chat thread!

[magimedi]

As the old one is nearly full!

All & any vaping chat welcome.

No question is too daft to ask. We've all been there at the start of vaping in the minefield that it is.

Only rule is: No Willy Waving!!

Yes, first few vapes as the coil burns in can taste a bit odd. The coil needs about 6 drops of juice & to be left for at least 5 mins to soak it up.

This link about the Nautilus (that *Plenty posted) is great:

I find I like the largest air flow hole & vape at about 3.5 volts during the day & sometimes go up to about 4.2 in the evenings - especially if I have !

Just try things & see how it goes - you won't break it and I don't think you'll want to vape on maximum volts!

Thank you magi. I have turned it down to 3.5 and the taste seems to be going

Has anyone got an eLeaf iStick 50w? I've already got a 20w and a 30w and I'm trying to convince myself I really don't need a 50w as well .

I've got a mini Nautilus on the 30w and I've got a full size Nautilus coming so I'm thinking a Nautilus would look lovely on a silver 50w.......

No, but a friend has. I find them a bit big & heavy.

You have got a bad dose of 'shinyitis', haven't you kit?

Very! I gave up stinkies and started vaping 18 months ago, but I started with basic batteries and iClear 16s which I thought were fine till I got my iStick.

I also just bought cheap juice, but after going through my stash and giving away about 20 bottles that I didn't like I figured I should go for quality over quantity so I got a Nautilus mini and some decent juices to try and I'm in heaven!

McNo you'll get there - just keep counting the ones you don't smoke.

Jaded don't worry about reading the whole thread, this one is for general blather so dive right in! Sounds like things are going really well. Are you sure you want to be dropping nicotine levels while you're still smoking a couple a day? It might make sense to stay on 12mg until you've lost the last few fags and then cut down the nic when you're a confident non-smoker.

When googled this it says to kind of let them breath a bit as enhances the flavour.

This is called steeping - it allows time for the flavours to meld. Some eliquid comes ready steeped and some is mixed to order and can taste much better once it's had a bit of time to settle in. I have very cheap tastes and 90% of the time vape Hangsen which has steeped all the way from China What sort of flavours do you like? I'm sure someone with more refined tastes than me can make some recommendations.

KitKats I have a 50W iStick. I don't need that much power, I bought it because of the battery life. It lasts me about 4 days between charges. I was using an MVP before so it doesn't feel clunky to me.

I got my FT parcel

I'm now the proud owner of a Kayfun Lite clone, some shiny coil winding thingies and lots of lovely non-metallic drip tips. I also got some coils for DS's iClear 30s and some pretty and fun neodymium magnets for DD who was feeling left out (only eat one at a time ).

I have high hopes for the kayfun (haven't tried it yet, I have all the parts soaking in alcohol to get rid of the factory crud). I'm trying to TPD-proof my vaping, so rebuildable tanks are the way to go.

I've been having a go with the Kanger subtank ( Polter) but find it way to airy and high powered. I'm going to give it one more try with low nic, pure VG juice and do the lung inhales like the willy-waving neckbeards do If that doesn't work (very likely) I'll be passing it forward.

Yah to vape Mail Plenty

Not sure what sub tank is but I've heard it a lot on the fb groups I have joined.

Ordered some juice that is highly recommended on the group,samurai sauce in blackberry ice cream and strawberry donut,looking forward to trying this and getting my fast tech vape mail

How's everyone doing?

Ive now been stopped smoking for 3 days.. Never ever thought stopping smoking could be fun! I've spent more money on my kit and juices than I would on cigs but I'm seeing that as an investment

I feel exactly the same McNo!

I've just hit 7 weeks and everyone I know is very impressed by my stopping because I was SUCH a committed smoker. They keep complimenting me and I feel like saying: 'But nooooo, 'cause I'm totally cheating!' It feels like cheating because it's so easy and pleasant and I'm still getting nicotine- but I guess I wouldn't have felt like I'd cheated if I was using nicotine patches or whatever.

I have tried lots of juices- favourites are Space Jam's Andromeda and Cosmic Fog's Milk and Honey. I really like T-Juice Black and Blue but my absolute favourite and my all-day vape is the T-juice Red Astaire.

I've just tried 'Heisenberg' by Vanpire Vape and I think it's the most bizarre flavour I've encountered yet. It's like a fruity menthol bubblegum with a strange chemical undertone. I don't think I like it!

Well done Wading, I have tried every other way of stopping and failed lots but totally agree it feels like I'm cheating cos its fun

I've started buying some different juice. Waiting on blueberry ice cream and strawberry doughnuts from samurai sauce and two from KatzVapez. Hoping they are as good as they sound. Who knew stopping could be so much fun

Wading it's not cheating.

It's the only example I've ever had, in my nearly 60 years of having your & eating it.

And it's bloody great!

And well done on 7 weeks!

Got my new bits today, i was too impatient to order online so spent abot twenty more than i could have, because i went to the local vpe shop. Im pleased with the purchases though.... Kbox and subtank mini, although i think i already need a spare battery because it took about ten hrs to charge!!!

Has anyone tried spartan juice before? Customer service is shocking but the juices are devine!

Oh my goodness what's happened to Singapore Post? I did my Fasttech order Wednesday last week, 22nd April.

It arrived just now, 10 days later!

That's great Allergic, my order was the day after yours so fingers crossed mine is here early next week.

I entered some competitions on a Facebook group and won two. Win 3 x 10ml of eliquid from Cornish eliquids and a silicon cover for my istick for box mods.i never who anything so I see this as a sign that vaping is for me

Just checked the tracking on fast tech and it's still despatched to GB so unlikely it's even in this country yet

How exciting, what did you get Allergic?

McNo, try putting your tracking number in here: www.17track.net/en/

How are you getting on with the subtank, Blink?

Spare Nautilus mini attys, a blue 30w iStick to go with my pink 20w one, some cheap acrylic drip tips and a load of neodymium magnets for my cousin who does woodworking (e.g. jigsaws, animals etc) including fridge magnets. Seems to be a magnet-y month for some reason, what with you getting them for your DD!

Oh and McNo - mine was reading "despatched to GB" last time I checked on Thursday .

Thanks Plenty, still not registered in UK. Nice vape Mail Allergic

9 weeks today! Got some vape mail today. Am going to try some higher ohmage coils in my istick. I also bought some quality juices, however the banana and coconut one I'm currently trying is a bit peculiar! I've converted 2 people over the past few weeks too!

Well done Polter! A whole year, that's fantastic!

I didn't have any trouble with Fasttech personally but it seems to be a new issue with EU PP customers and ecig products: PayPal New Rules

The workaround (if you don't want to use a credit/debit card) seems to be to buy gift vouchers with PP and then spend those on your order.

Well done crisp too! 9 weeks means you've cracked it

Allergic, DD says her neodymium magnets are for her boyfriend but she'd like some even better ones for her birthday next month. I'm quite tempted by a few things they sell that are not vape related. I'm currently trying to think of an excuse to get this.
