Lazy Newbie Best Vaper

    Hi Guys ... I'm a 20-30 a day smoker and have started using E-cigs to cut down (currently between 5-10) ie Jaspers & Jaspers and nicolites disposable but I'm going through them like a nicotine starved knife through butter. I've read some comments in relation to the pointlessness of purchasing e-cig rechargeable packs and the recommendation seems to be for a vaping device, trading the aesthetics of an e-cig (which I don't care about) for the value and "hit" of a vaper. My question is which is the best brand and best value? I smoke B&H and enjoy lots of smoke so the heavier output would be good! Thanks in advance for your help.

    PS I'd very much appreciate direction to any discounts available at the minute you guys seem to be well on top of that sort of thing!

    I think I saw a deal on the e-vic on boards on thebestshop.eu. Can't see if it's still running. You'd need to get a charger and an atomizer/cartomizer with that (and liquid)
    Not sure what the best option for a 'lazy' person wanting lots of vapour would be - possibly some kind of dual-coil cartomizer and tank set-up. Other may be able to help there.

    Alternatively you could get a cheap mechanical device and some sort of rebuildable atomizer (iGo-l maybe to get you going on rebuilds) and low resistance wire

    Thanks for that ... but you lost me! When I said lazy I meant lazy as in not going through all the other posts!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,831 ✭✭✭Lucutus


    Here's the lazy reply ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 108 ✭✭Ants Murray


    Great thanks for that. I went a did some limited research! Would you recommend T2 or T3 and what battery size? Looking for the biggest hit possible. I can normally finish a fag in 4 draws.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,831 ✭✭✭Lucutus


    I would post in the comments when ordering asking for one of each.

    The batteries are twists and the power going to the coil is adjustable, so you can customise the hit a bit there. The amount of nic in the juice is also a factor for throat hit, ask for a couple of differing strengths when ordering.

    The number attached to the batteries 900/1100 makes a difference to the life of the battery, over a day, it depends on how often you keep that button pressed.

    I would go for the larger ones myself as I want them to last longer, some people prefer the smaller length form factor and charge (a little) more often.

    Also, a smoke in 4 drags? :eek: Take your time vaping, the harder you pull wont make a difference to the vape. Longer, slower draws win the race.

    oh, and the coupon code 'boards' on that site will get you 10% off.

    i was like yourself ants,30 seconds to smoke a mayfair superking.
    i have to take two long draws from a kanger protank to get some satisfaction but this heats up the unit very quick and changes the flavour. ive had to slow down a good bit between pulls to keep the flavour consistant, so as said, youll have to slow down if you want to enjoy vaping

    tbs? How you know? Just had a look there and see no info. Also esi and...nada... Which, which, which DO tell*

    BUG-EYED DESPERATE*


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


    ESI. Sign up to the Facebook group 'Irish Vaping', the vendors are allowed to vend there. They tell us things like this and show us new stock, etc...

    Does this mean you won't be able to order from them(and get a delivery)during this time?


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


    You'll be able to put an order in, but you won't have it sent until the 14th (at least). Hence the inconvenience discount. Plenty of vendors do it.

    Reckon Ill have the pack by tomorrow, so here's hoping!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 877 ✭✭✭jamie72


    This is the second time this week I've heard of e-smokeireland offering deals on the fb page and no where else, not fair to us not on fb.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 854 ✭✭✭wingnut32


    If I could do this stuff on boards I would, but I respect the rules of the forum and that means I cant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,565 ✭✭✭Ionised


    Almost tempted to break my own rules and join Facebook...almost :)

    Ever hear of Google+ Wingnut ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 854 ✭✭✭wingnut32


    Yes I have but everybody (almost :P) is on facebook. Id say 90% of posters on here are on facebook.

    :rolleyes:
    They're not allowed to vend on boards, so you'll have to put up with getting that info via word-of-mouth. It's not anybody's job to disseminate the info.
    Nothing unfair about it at all.

    If you want them to start a Google+ page maybe mention it to them?
    I dunno. Social networks don't force you to put info up - you can set up an account, have no friends and use that as a place to keep track of news, deals, music, whatever...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,565 ✭✭✭Ionised


    I realise that of course.

    I'll just have to live with being one the elite 10% :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,096 ✭✭✭Mr. Chrome


    2 weeks notice for holidays and special offer notifications on the ESI site wouldnt hurt, just sayin like! :-P

    It'd cost nothing to have a mailing list! You'd catch the last 10%. Even have it as an option to join when you're finishing up your order on the site.

    Jamie, I see what you are saying. But for the samples last week we were looking for reviews off 10 people. I could not begin to tell you how many emails we would have gotten back if it was on a mailing list, in the thousands I would imagine. The vaping group is where we started on facebook and it's a great little community on there. I don't use facebook for much else really. All bigger announcements are on the site or a mailing list.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 826 ✭✭✭DublinCJM


    I've placed 2 orders in the last week, one for a Kanger starter kit, and another one yest for spares and more juice and I never knew about the boards discount!!

    Dammit :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 899 ✭✭✭StickyIcky


    First rule of boards discounts is no one talks about boards discounts.

    Apart from the Sticky at the top of the forum that has all the discounts links, but who reads stickies anyway?


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


    ESI's code isn't on the list. Conspiracy? Cons? Piracy? Pi? Racy?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 289 ✭✭Rattleshakes


    Regarding the sample reviews.I would have thought that people who went to the bother of giving a review in the past would have been chosen-All 4 of them like.
    :(:D:mad::)

    Update : Package arrived today. Great service as I only put the order in late Thursday. I'll leave a review of product experiences and initial perceptions when i get home for my first vape. Thanks all for you input. Now www.facebook.com for those discounts!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 108 ✭✭Ants Murray


    Right opened package everything there. No instructions but hey this isn't rocket science! Filled up tube with liquid. Attached battery nothing. Ok so I have to charge the battery ... anybody know how long this takes? I have a green light on the connector.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,674 ✭✭✭DirtyBollox


    If you press the button and there's no light, press the button 5 times really quickly to turn the battery on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 108 ✭✭Ants Murray


    So embarrassing didn't realise I had to press the button. Great hit on the back of the throat lots of smoke. Love it already. Thanks everybody. Wifey not giving out about smell of smoke anymore. She was like what's that smell that's nice smell (cheesecake).

    Grindle I was going to say you're getting very close to discovering the exclusive and elusive hidden easter egg discount code reserved for the 1% but then I realised the 99% (or 10% as the case may be) might give out about that too if you discover it. So for godsake keep it to yourself when you do!
