Help for a clueless convert please

bambi1981

I recently purchased a standard Joyetech 510 with cartridges and some B+H liquid.

I really enjoying vaping so far and its doing a great job keeping me off the smokes (only been two days but genuinely not missing it at all so far)

My problem is the battery life of these things. What would be my best kit to buy at a reasonable price whereas one or 2 batterys would last me the day.

Also I'd like something that might even give more vapour and a better throat kick.

I don't really want this to be a really big size either as i will have to carry it about.

Appology's for the silly questions, I'm completely new to this and I just don't want to waste a bunch of money trying to get myself set up with the right kit.

battery wise something like this would do

the 650 mahs oughta last you the guts of a day..depending on how often you're vaping.

if you want to go as small as possible while still getting decent performance. you could get the above batteries and some of these cartomisers. the batteries wont be variable voltage and from what I hear the vivi nova tanks I reccomended below outperform cartomisers but I doubt it's by a huge amount. unlike the vivi tank below you will have to occasionally top the cartomisers up with juice as the day goes on. not too often, but it's best to keep them damp so they live a bit longer before needing to be binned.

youll want one of these mouthpieces too if you go for the above cartomisers. they just slot onto the top so you hve something to wrap your lips around. dont technically need them but the cartomisers can get kind of warm and the tips are just easier to use.


you'll get people who'll reccomend the ego twists
http://www.thebestshop.eu/shop/batteries/33-joye-ego-c-twist-vv-battery.html
as you can adjust the voltage which will affect the vapour/throathit you get from your atomiser.. but they are quite long.
they're not uncomfortably long.. and i would imagine 2 650mah twists would last you a full day, probably even into the second but they are quite a bit longer than the regular ego 650mahs.


atomiser/cartomiser wise
http://www.thebestshop.eu/shop/blank-cartomizers/150-mini-vivi-nova-tank.html
these are the device du jour. they get good reviews and you can just fill it up and vape away without having to think about topping it up or anything.

it comes with 3 different resistance atomisers with the tank
"1pc 1.8ohm Coil Head
1pc 2.4ohm Coil Head
1pc 2.8ohm Coil head"

which is why the twist is probably the better option.. so you can use all 3 of them and adjust the voltage so you get the same vape power whatever resistance the atomiser itself is.
once you have the tank and you need to get more atomisers
http://www.thebestshop.eu/shop/blank-cartomizers/148-coil-head-for-vivi-nova-tank.html

2 euro each, afaik they're pretty simple to put in. make sure you get the long wick versions as they are meant to be far and away the best.

you'll get 3 atomiser heads with the tank itself so you should have an idea what resistance you want to go for when it's time to order more of them.
i dunno how long one of them would last.. a week, two.. *shrug*

and youll need a charger for the batteries



the 650mah twists will probably do you, if you have 2 of them and aren't vaping every 5 seconds. it mmight feel uncomfortably long at first but you'll quickly get used to them and they'll fit into a pocket or handbag or whatever

Thanks so much for your help Digby, it is all a bit overwhelming as I said.

I will most definitely check your links and purchase from here as I brought my 510 from here and received it lightning quick

Look forward to becoming more active on this forum as my lungs clear up :pac:

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

yeah there's so many options to choose from when you're just starting out

Amazingfun

I just bought the 'Vapourize' deal from Groupon.ie and I can't wait to try it!!

I have only been back on the smokes less than two months and I figure this might be a good alternative to put them down again

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

let us now what you think when you get it

bambi1981

I ordered the ego twist and mini nova last night should have them in the morning, also got myself self some turkish tobacco ejuice and 10 ml of another that's not springing to mind. Will have all tomorrow.

Just after thinking does the drip tip come on the mini nova.

Ah I'll see tomorrow, will let y'all know how I get on with this set up as a newbie

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

afaik the mini nova comes with a drip tip, yeah


i think you can put other 510 tips into it as well if you want

Stefan_Cork

i second that

bambi1981

Yep came with a tip.

So happy I got this, Tbh I was running out of patience rapidly with the 510 cartridge set up.

This is a great set up. It makes vaping a completely different experience altogether.

No messing about now charge up, fill up and away I go.

The throat hit is so much more pleasant too.

Kudos to bestshop for rapid delivery

My only gripe is this Liqua Turkish tobacco is sickly sweet imo, very honey like. But meh thats a personal thing

All I have to do now is find my best tobacco eliquid that's not sweet and I'm away with it.

Off to look at some eliquid reviews me thinks.

For someone looking to dip their toes, which of the following two deals would people recommend?

http://www.groupon.ie/deals/national-deals/Vapouriz/9980484 (€29 = 1 cig + 60 refills)

http://www.dafadeals.com/deals/101?vxaf-ctr=557737 (€17.50 = 2 cigs + 10 refills + car charger)

bambi1981

Only at this a short time, but if you're a smoker looking to get off them I would skip this and get the setup I got above, that digby recommended.

It's much less messing and so much more satisfying :pac:
