I got a kanger twist starter kit from e smoke ireland two years ago and haven't smoked since. I stopped using it after about 5 months but I would never have stopped if I hadn't used it to wean me off. I also used the patches for the first month and read alan carrs book.
With this yoke, you get your e liquid, pour it into the glass chamber, screw on the battery, press the button on the battery, which heats a coil in the glass chamber, vapourising the liquid and allowing you to smoke the contraption like a ciggy.
I've recently bought a TDM 850 on the strength of the money I've saved (if you need some inspiration
This is the one I got :
You may think its a bit pricey coming in just below €60 but you'd be wrong

I didnt need any anyway, its cool lookin toodo i need any spare parts for back up?
btw, how's the TDM ?
would u go for the 900 in the future?
Love the power and upright position, I went in to work on the cb500 today and felt like a fat man on a childs bike
I'd consider the 900 because I believe they don't use any oil, unlike the 850 which I seem to be topping up all the time. Its a dry sump too which is a pain to check.
Better than ciggies though 0 -

I presume you've taken the faulty one apart and rebuilt it?
and your right its not the same, but its a viable alternative. Have you got Alan Carrs book, its available as an audio book too, I used to listen to a bit of it as I was going to sleep. Every little helps

I don't know how to rebuild it yet.
Not read the Alan Carr book(only recently realised it was not the comedian guy):pac:0 -

If it's leaking and you're only new to using it, I'd say you accidentally got some liquid down the nozzle/hole in your clearo. My customers are always doing it. :pac: sometimes it's a case of pouring in too much too quickly as you're filling it, so while some liquid drips down, some overflows and goes into the hole.
You can follow a previous poster's instructions for cleaning it out
When the liqid discolours, it's still fine to use. It's just from it being exposed to the air, afaik.

Refilled and definitely got no juice in the inner tube.
Took 3 puffs,turned it upside down and it's still leaking.
A half an mg leaked out in under a minute.
I filmed it so ye can see.

I've bought and used a wide variety of clearomisers in the past. I've learn't a number of things from these experiences.
1) The best clearomisers in my opinion of ease of use and lack of hassle are the Kanger eVod and the Kanger Protank Mini.
2) Both of these clearomisers are basically the same thing they just look a little different. Both of them are called bottom coil clearomisers (or BCC for short) because the heating coil / head is at the bottom of the clearomiser. While screwing and unscrewing the clearomiser off and on the battery this bottom coil / head part can come loose. If it's a little loose then it's no longer making a tight seal and juice can start leaking under the head where the air comes in making a gurgling noise. Alternatively it can get into the centre tube and come out the mouth peice.
My advice to all people starting out would be to get either the Kanger eVod of Protank Mini and make sure the head is screwed in tightly every time before you screw it onto the battery and vape with it.
My other piece of advice to all people starting out is also buy a couple of 'cartomisers' specially the Boge Low Resistance cartomiser. Search on youtube how to properly fill and use a cartomiser. Make sure it's properly filled before you use it the first time or worst case you'll burn it, best case you'll get juice down the center airway which isn't too bad cus you can't just blow it out into a tissue. Cartomisers can be a lot less hassle then clearomisers so I really recommend newbies try out both cartomisers and clearomisers when starting out to see which suits you best.
If you're having issues with the gear you bought too always remember to contact your vendor. If they don't help you out there's plenty of great vendors who do which we can recommend to you if you need.
That's all. Good stuff taking up the vaping and best of success.
edit: p.s. another thing I always tell newbies is get spares of everything! chargers, batteries, juice, clearomisers, replacement heads, cartomisers. Then... get spares for those spares. If something craps out on you no bother, contact the vendor if you think it's still in warranty, meantime pull out a spare and carry on vaping. Getting caught out because of a faulty charger or something is just a newbie mistake. Don't let it happen to you again 0 -

I'll try the cartos aswell.Green Hornet wrote: »I echo your carto suggestion. Far less faffy, leaky, no burnt taste and they just chug along merrily compared to clearo's.
The only thing a new vaper needs to know about cartos is to soak them well before the first use. That's it. No turning upside down, checking wind direction, rags to wipe up leaks etc.
Add a tank when you get familiar with them. Some nice pyrex tanks available at IBTanked or cheaper ones at the Irish vendor sites.
Only costs about 1.50 per carto so no harm throwing one into the basket.
Maybe I'm just too old school though......
Ill be well armed.
haha good one:pac:Skill Magill wrote: »Looks like the the Gods are conspiring against you! Its still early days though, I'm impressed you drove 20 miles to sort it out though, I'll say that for you, you're not a quitter.
(did you see what I did there?)
Feels like i can take in more air into my lungs already.
The constant clearing my throat/chest is getting better aswell.
No intension of ever smoking again so even if i have to drive 100 miles,i'll do it:)0 -

I would just get a Kanger EVOD Battery which are regulated at 3.7 volts and built really well. Or get a Kanger EVOD Twist battery which allows you to adjust the voltage from 3.2 volts up to 4.2 volts. This is known as "variable voltage" and it's pretty handy especially when you're starting off learning what power output you like.
Generally I just use a regular Kanger EVOD battery at 3.7volts and use a low resistance atomiser which increases the overall power output to my liking.
The combination of the voltage of the battery and the resistance of the atomiser is what makes the total power output. Total power output is know as wattage.
You can buy atomisers of varying resistance or you can even learn to coil the atomiser yourself to be at whatever resistance you like. This way you've control over the power output of even fixed voltage batteries.
Even better than "variable voltage" batteries in many peoples opinions are the "variable wattage" devices. Because no matter what atomiser you put on it, if it's low resistance or standard or high resistance the overall power output is the same. So when you change the atomiser you don't have to fiddle with a voltage level to adjust the total power output (wattage) as it stays the same 0 -
