What to buy? I'm giving up the rollies

    I'm on a mission to give up the dreaded rollies once and for all and am wondering where and how much you would pay for a top range e cigarette.
    I have one or two older cheap e cigarettes but I never had interest in them and I'm thinking maybe if I spend the money and get a flashy one it will work for me!!!

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    The most recommended device these days is the iStick. The 20w version would most likely suffice for a beginner vaper. Pair that with an Eleaf GS air tank, and get a bottle of a juice you fancy, and you're good to go. You're talking €50-ish and it's a decent little set up to start.

    Agree with this except don't get the 20w, get the 30w because the 20w had some issues that could render it unusable in a couple of months.

    This thread has some good answers on this subject. It was only posted today so it's up to date info.

    Where would I order this from?

    Or can you buy at a shop?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Thecageyone


    Depends on whether or not there are decent vape stores near you? If there's an iVape or esmokeireland near you for example, you could get fixed up there. If you go to a vape store, that doesn't have the iStick, then you know it's not a good one either way. Otherwise you can certainly buy online. I know that thebestshop.eu has the tank I suggest to pair with it.

    The 30w is probably the better option, but I know my missus has the 20w about 5 months now and she's not had any issues with it. But I had the 50w for 3 weeks and had to send it back :/ I was just unlucky I guess.

    The extra tenner or whatever is worth it maybe for the 30w though. Better build, and will work with more, higher end tanks as you progress.

    I know the place in Ballincollig stocks them I just contacted them on Facebook so it's just starting it all and staying off the ciggies!!

    I'm so excited!!!

    Thanks for all yer help!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,005 ✭✭✭JH_raheny


    I would recommend the iStick 50W simply because of the extra battery life, it's not that much more than the 30W


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 656 ✭✭✭pinkstars


    I'll go with that so!!

    Yep

    Thebestshop.eu have them in red but not pink and at 60 euro


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,567 ✭✭✭✭Fratton Fred


    Apparently the red is more Stade Francais than Man United.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Thecageyone


    iStick 'red' = pink, definitely.

    I think you will go for the smaller 30w when you hold the two side by side.
    If you have small 'girly hands' the 30w is a better fit IMO.
    Don't worry about the power difference between the 30 and 50w devices, you will not use anything near 30w to start with, especially not with the GS air (if you go with that little atomiser). I'd still go for the 30w over the 20w though as quality issues on the 20w were ironed out for the 30w I believe. Either way be gentle and careful screwing an atomiser onto any bettery you get, make sure the threads catch properly and do not force it.
    You will love the 'pink' colour, I got one for my sister in law and she loves it!

    I wouldn't go for the 50w.

    The 20w has threading issues as we all know, so avoid.

    But the 50w seems to have major issues with autofiring and safety cut off not working. Big discussion about it on reddit.

    I'd go for the 30w.

    The red is VERY pink. I've got the red 20w, and the picture shows the colour (matches my lipstick!).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 656 ✭✭✭pinkstars


    So how much am I talking for the GS air and the 30w pink and some liquid??
    Thanks a million.
    Scraping the pennies together until I get paid in order to buy one!!!

    By the way does anyone smoke and vape also?

    I did at the start, after about 3 weeks I gave up smoking completely .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 656 ✭✭✭pinkstars


    I can only get the 20watt (in pink!!) or the 50 watt in black or silver.
