One of the reviewers on YT mentioned a few Countries,I do remember him saying that there is a total ban on ecigs in Norway.

Finland as well I think , I know there was an Irish guy in my local Vape shop and he was stocking up as he lives in Finland and can't get any vape gear there . I'm sure he said it was illegal .

Mexico has banned all vaping.

Mexico has taken a hard-nosed approach to electronic cigarette, banning them completely across the country. This week, health authorities confiscated imports of over 9,000 ecigs marking the largest seized ecig shipment to date. Commissioner Alvaro Perez Vega of the Cofrepis Health Operation said that authorities are cracking down on ecigs because they view them as unsafe.

I'd say big tobacco has recently made their lives very comfortable too...

Thecageyone

Big tobacco companies have been pushing and shoving people around for decades, why stop now huh?

Shows how weak the governments are when tobacco companies can have the monopoly on nic products. That's all it is. Unsafe?? How about deady? which is what cigarettes are! Yet they've never been banned.

Went to the Vape Café on Capel St. for the first time today.

Id highly recommend it to anyone. Nice laid back environment to sample a huge number of juices with a lovely coffee.

Will defo make an effort to pop by more regularly.

Anyone know a reliable place to get coils online for an innokin iclear x.i? The majority of the ones I buy seem to be duds

Are they the right ones?

Does anyone use the Beyond Vape, Silo? And, would you recommend it over the Nautilus Mini? I'm looking for an "all day" tank and quite liked the look of the Silo. I've looked at a few of the YouTube reviews, but wouldn't mind some real life experience.

Thanks

They were listed under accessories for the tank that you have on that site. Just in case you're looking for them again.

Vaping is illegal? Is smoking and drinking legal where you are?

Anyway there are just too many options for tanks nowadays.
If you like a tight draw like the one on your Protank then I'd probably go for the Aspire Nautilus Mini, if you like a much more powerful vape with tons of airflow then pretty much all the new sub ohm tanks are good, the Kanger Sub Tank, the Aspire Nautilus are the two I own and they are both brilliant IMO, not a lot between them.
One thing to note with the Aspire products above, is that in my experience they are totally leak proof. All atomisers will drip condensation out the drip tip if you invert them, but as for eliquid, neither have ever leaked on me. Do your research on the sub ohm tanks please first, make sure they are safe to use (and will even fire) with whatever battery or device you have.

Thanks for the info.

I am actually not sure if vaping is illegal. It seems to be a very grey area and I can not find out if it is illegal or not. What definitely is illegal though is the selling of anything to do with vaping eg, liquids, batteries, atomizers etc etc - there are no shops here whatsoever that sell - United Arab Emirates.

When I was going through the airport the other week, the official at the scanning machine saw the ecig in my bag and pulled me up on it. He said is that an ecig. I said yes. He said is it only one. I said yes. He said ok and let me through without confiscating it. I deduced from that that if I had more than one and was selling I'd have been in trouble.

Yeah, I get pretty fed up with leaks. Even my Protank leaks at times. Somedays it works fine and then the next day I spend loads of time cleaning leaks.

So the Aspire ones are a different company than Kanger?

I do not particular like a tight draw. I like a good throat hit and lots of vape/smoke.

What is meant by a 'sub ohm tank'?

Cheers

Fratton Fred

The kanger sub tank, aspire Atlantis, joyetech ii are all sub ohm tanks, in that the coils are less than one ohm in resistance.

They use more power, so need a more powerful battery, but produce a huge amount of vapour and a great throat hit without having to use a high nicotine content.

Okay, so are these the options to choose from:

Joyetech:

https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10012926/2178101-joyetech-delta-ii-bottom-coil-clearomizer

I note that this does not come with a battery or charger so which battery and charger is needed.

Aspire Nautilus:

https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10009821/1861801-authentic-aspire-nautilus-bvc-clearomizer-5-0ml

Again no battery or charger.

Aspire Nautilus Mini:

https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10011248/1969400-authentic-aspire-nautilus-mini-clearo-cf-vv

Comes with battery and charger.

Kanger Tech Subtank

https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10004861/2010104-authentic-kangertech-subtank-bdc-bottom-dual-coil

Again no battery or charger.

Should I also add the Aspire Atlantis to my choices:

https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10009821/1982800-authentic-aspire-atlantis-clearomizer

Again no battery or charger.

I'm a bit confused about the options here, advie, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Especially concerning the batteries and chargers. I have several eGo-c Twist batteries and chargers but I'm guessing that these batteries do not work with the options above:

https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10004043/1445401-ego-c-twist-1300mah-variable-voltage-rechargeable

https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10003751/1270407-usb-charger-for-ego-electronic-cigarette

Thank you.

EGriff

The nautilius mini will work on your ego batteries, the rest of those tanks would need some thing a bit more powerful like an iStick 30w or 50w (both charge by micro USB so no charger required).

https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10011027/2152103-authentic-eleaf-istick-50w-4400mah-vw-vv-apv-box

Istick 50w. 4400 mah battery.

Istick 30w 2200 mah battery.

You are correct, those ego batteries won't be powerful enough for those tanks you've selected. The isticks may seem expensive but they are the cheapest thing at that price point that is verifiable as a decent device. Nearly every poster on here has or has had one at some stage because it was a game changing battery because previous to it similar devices were much dearer and much less compact.

The nautilus or nautilus mini would personally be my choice from all the links you've put above. It's the most suitable for a beginner. Those others are "sub ohm" tanks and aren't suitable for "mouth to lung" hits if that's how you vape. The people who use them inhale direct from the tank to their lungs if you see what I mean.

Edit: Just saw egriffs post and he's right, the nautilus will work with the ego battery.

Another thing I just thought, you may want a smaller setup due to the legality where you are. The istick 30w is very small, takes up about a quarter of the screen of a Samsung galaxy S5 if you've seen that phone. The 50w is about double the size.

RIchieNouveau

Maybe someone can help me. I've never used a dripper and know nothing about them. I'm buying a few flavours from another poster and think a dripper would be good to try them out more easily than in my tanks. Are the drippers running at 5 dollars or so on fasttech any use? Are there any cheap drillers anyone would recommend from irish vendors?

I would recommend this dripper,easy to coil & no leaks http://cigreen.com/en/atomizers/322-marquis-rda-cigreen.html

Watch a few YT videos to see how they build on it.

On a RDA or Clearo,use 3mg or 6mg juice if sub ohming

Thanks YD. I kind of want to keep it under a tenner which is probably wishful thinking but I'm self employed and have had the quietest 3 months since I started up so even 22 is looking extravagant right now I'll keep an eye on the sale and swap thread and see if anything comes up. Thanks!

Thanks for your detailed reply.

Still trying to get my head around some of this. What I understand from eGriff and you is that the Aspire Nautilus and the Aspire Nautilus mini can be run from the eGo-c Twist batteries.

I understand that for the Kanger Sub Tank, Aspire Atlantis and the Joyetech II all need the istick batteries.

Now I went off reading and watched some YT vids and what I understood is that the Aspire Nautilus and the Aspire Nautilus mini are very similar to the one I use at the moment, Kanger Protank II. The major difference that I read is that the Aspire Nautilus are more expensive than the Protank II.

I would also like to mention that I do not really know the difference between the Aspire Nautilus and the Aspire Nautilus mini. Is is just that the mini holds less juice?

I'm also unsure if the Kanger Protank III is better than the Kanger Protank II.

Ok, so onto the Kanger Subtank and the Aspire Atlantis. Again from YT and reading I understand that they are similar devices but the Kanger Subtank seems to come out on top because it is cheaper.

Would be grateful for your point of view/further advice.

Regards

RIchieNouveau

Yeah, the mini is literally just a smaller nautilus. It is quite a bit better than the protank but if you like the protank maybe a cheap way to gain an improved vape is to buy the improved airflow base for it. This essentially turns it in to a kanger aerotank:

https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10011133/1654500-authentic-airflow-control-valve-for-protank-2

If I was I'm your situation with legality I would consider getting in to rebuildables atomisers. I have a Taifun GT clone and it's really, really easy to build on. I can't stress enough that I'm the least likely person to be able to build anything useful and even I find it very easy. If you buy one all you will need is 28 guage kanthal and cellucotton (or another wicking material,i favour cellucotton) and you won't need to reorder anything for a long time, which would be handy if you were theoretically concerned about your local customs confiscating your stuff. Cheap as chips too.

You're correct that it's much of a muchness between the aspire Atlantis and the kanger subtank, well, that's Internet wisdom anyway, I don't use those kind of tanks.

Edit: I don't know about the protank 3, I've never used it. I think an airflow base on a protank 2 will be better than any other protank options.
