    Alright after weeks of talking I'm getting a proper vaper. I've stalled on numerous occasions because of my bad relationship with decision-making. Each time I go online, card in hand to buy I just get overwhelmed with information.

    Price isn't really part of the consideration but throat hit is a biggy (i sometimes smoke up to 20 a day) and second on the list is minimal size (but throat hit would completely outrank this).

    Can anyone recommend a package (where everything is included) so I can get on this horse for once and for all?

    Big throat hit, minimal size (if possible) but regular size device entertained.

    Please help me!

    lol^^

    650 mah battery size will save you a cm or two in length but about 2/3rds the battery life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,255 ✭✭✭tommy2bad


    What he said ^^

    If throat hit counts for most get a high nic juice 24mg or 18mg,.
    Good luck with it.

    Thanks a lot guys! Any juice recommendations for a starter?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 915 ✭✭✭heliguyheliguy


    I like the highbrow range for fruit flavours and i believe the House of Liquid do the best tobacco but tastes vary so much its hard to recommend.
    try some sample packs is your best bet.
    my favs are

    Okay, finally ordered it. Really hope it works out.

    I just tried the 5 free wingman nut juices (although I didn't see anything about 18mg 24mg nicotine? Anyone shed any light on that?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,464 ✭✭✭Celly Smunt



    how many ml do you get with the highbrow stuff?,if it's 10ml it's fairly pricey


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    30ml

    it's quite pricy ... well pricy for Ireland, for some reason we don't get screwed on juice prices as much as uk/us but it's quality juice. definite value for money.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 915 ✭✭✭heliguyheliguy


    30ml i don't know why this isn't clear on all the web stores.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    Went for the 650mah for the slight reduction in length. From reading it seems 6-8 hours battery, depending on how much you use it. Say usuall cigerette puffing amounts (number of drags roughly for a cigerette) how many 'cigerettes' would ye get? And does the battery drain significantly the whole time or only when you actually take drags?

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    only when you take drags (have the button pressed down)

    no way to tell about the cigarettes. some people vape every 5 minutes, some once or twice a half hour or less some never have it out of their lips.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    Ah cool so if i was vaping roughly the same amount as I was smoking it'd get me through a day on a battery?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    *shrug*

    you'll find out soon enough I suppose :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,255 ✭✭✭tommy2bad


    Ah cool so if i was vaping roughly the same amount as I was smoking it'd get me through a day on a battery?

    Yes if you mimic smoking say 20 periods 10 short puffs. In practice this dosn't happen.Nicotine is absorbed differently from vapor and to get the same reduction in 'cravings' (I prefer to call it the same satisfaction :)) you'll find longer drags and more frequent use works best. After a while you notice you use it less than smoking if your busy and more if your idle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    Got it there. Can't figure out to put the juice in though :pac:


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    did you get the kanger t2 or t3?

    the t2 i think unscrews from the top, so you unscrew the mouthpiece section and just spour the juice in

    t3 unscrews from the bottom so you grip the little patterned metal bit at the bottom and unscrew that, then pour the juice in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    yea unscrewed the mouthpiece, the juice goes into where the white string things are?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    yeah you pour the juice into the clear body tank and the wick feeds the juice to the heating coil, which is protected there where the wick disappears into the body


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    and there's some sort of power button?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    on the battery, yeah. it should be pretty obvious

    the battery might be turned off when you get it so press the button down 5 times quickly, it will flash a couple of times to let you know it's now turned on and then you press the button to vape

    pressing the button down 5 times again turns it off, handy if you're going to be leaving it in your pocket or a bag for extended periods

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    are you happy or angry.....:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    quite happy, i was afraid of not much throat hit and bam! straight away. And so I filled half of the thing with a tropical breeze juice. Do ye have to smoke a whole juice to get rid of it or do ye sometimes get it back into the juice container?

    Also, any tips so I don't break the damn thing (besides not dropping it).


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    you will have to use the whole thing up

    i guess you could unscrew it and pour the juice out, if you take the little dripper plastic thing out of the bottle the juice came in you couldpour it back in but... I dunno if the heat from the coil inside the kanger would affectthe juice.. and if youi keep emptying used juice back into it.. might affect the flavour, dont really know


    just dont drop it really. only used the kanger t3's for a couple of days but they seemed sturdy enough


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    And digby did you quite cigs on them? I've heard it's usually a transition of still smoking cigs for a little while but the vape takes over and ye don't really like cigs anymore compared to it?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    i stopped smoking cigs the second I got my ecig. some use both for a while, some quit straight away.

    once you've stopped smoking cigs altogether, whenever that is.. take a drag off a friends one after about 2-3 weeks of no cigs you'll be amazed at how awful an experience it is.

    just pour it back in the bottle and wash the kanger.You might lose a ml or so doing this though because of the juice that will stick to the wick or tank.

    I did this the other day and by god smoking is rank.Even the feel of smoke is so dry and disgusting compared to vaping.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    pmc did you have a transition phase? I'm going smoke a cig now

    Not at all,I was pessimistic going into vaping because I had an ecig before getting my kanger,which was just crap.I thought the kanger was going to be just a little improvement on my ecig,but I was blown away.The novelty took over as well and before I knew it I was a week off smokes so there was no point in going through a transistion phase.To be honest I didnt need it because the kanger was giving me a better drag than my cigarettes were.

    My transistion was immediate and a pleasure with no effort.

    Yea I just had a cigerette to see if I would need it but it's already looking like I might be off them.

    First one of the day is the only one I miss(and still do!). I went over to ecigs straight away and off them 4 months today!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    only time I miss cigs is when i'm watching a movie and there's a character smoking in it

    for whatever reason, the e-cig just doesn't satisfy as much as it usually does during those moments

    Also, would it be possible to vaporise marijuana (if one had some which one does not) somehow in this? Might it break the clearomizer thingg?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,267 ✭✭✭DubTony


    Jesus, while reading this thread I just realised I've been off cigarettes for exactly 2 months.
    Jimmy, if you're anything like me, you won't miss those bastard things one bit.
    Good Luck.

    LOL If I had a euro for everytime I'v been asked this, I'd have more euros than I have now.

    afaik it is technically possible but it's massively wasteful

    you have to get a large large amount of weed and seep the thc out somehow, kinda like how you'd make hash oil but it doesn't end up anywhere near as concentrated so you're losing thc in the process

    just buy a weed vapouriser if that's what you're after


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,255 ✭✭✭tommy2bad


    Yeah it can be done but the concentration is low. It's a method of choice for medical marijuana users as it gives the medical benefit without being stoned all day.
    Google is your friend ;)

    I wonder actually.. if you got some hash oil and mixed it with some pg or vg.. could that worki?

    it'd need some serious mixing, hash oil is like molasses.. really thick sticky stuff and i dont know if it'd be mixable with either pg or vg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    I suppose it's a bit of a pipe dream...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,026 ✭✭✭grindle


    Ecigs can never ever be used with cannabis.

    Definitely not worth researching.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,255 ✭✭✭tommy2bad


    Er lads should we be talking about this, walls have ears and boards do too, just sayin!

    I've seen people use the SWIM (someone who isn't me) when having this type of chat online. Does it actually protect you legally though I wonder?

    You'd have to be caught in possession. Talk all you like. We still have free speech. For now. The mods might object though as it's off topic, a bit.

    Definitely doesn't protect you, but they don't go after people who say "Oh, SWIM got a quarter yesterday, SWIM says it's the strongest evar!".

    There were a couple of idiots who tested the limits on bluelight (I think) a few years ago, where they were doing the utterly retarded "My dog Sebastian got a delivery of 2 kilos yesterday, real good..." etc, and they got busted.

    Cops don't want to waste money travelling to every house that has weed in it, the cost wouldn't be justified.
    If they hear some simpleton banging on about a supply-chain, they'll be interested.

    The pet thing is so... I dunno... I can't even imagine. SWIM is bad enough, but pets?

    Seem to be getting dry inhales this morning... been reading a bit to try and figure out what's going on. How much juice in the clearomizer thing is best? I refilled so that it was nearly full to see if that made a difference but it might be that my throat is just dry
