Starter kit for giving up smoking.

I broke out the eGrip this evening after not using it for a few months. I still have some prebuilt and wicked coils for the RBA that I got from vaperus a long time ago. Forgot how nice it sits in the hand, it really is tiny, fantastic vape from the RBA too.

Yeah my 30w is still going strong after 9 or 10 months. So is my 40w though after about 6 months. But I have a fair few mods so neither is getting massive use.

Likewise here,quite a few mods & not over used,I'm still using 3 Umax's,similar to the Vmax,up to 6v which I bought 4 years ago & they are used everyday as my bed vapes :D

We have been calling all battery devices "Mods" from the beginning of Vaping (2009) because the battery devices were poorly made & we had to modify most of them ourselves,the name Mod just stuck with us & we called all battery devices Mods & we still do,never heard of a tank being called a mod,all tanks have their own names now.

Me personally,I wouldn't touch a GS Air,never worked properly for me,Nautilus(5ml) or Nautilus Mini(2ml) with BVC coils 1.6 or 1.8,fantastic tanks & coils & the same coil fits with either.

+1 for the nautilius, get the big one not the mini, it will fit better on the 30w, plus less filling. Also BVC coils are the ones you want.

You can adjust it to 4 or 5 different sized holes,I use the biggest hole all the time,great for mouth to lung.
Don't forget to prime the new coil first & try not to tighten the base & coil too tightly to the tank,otherwise it will be hard to unscrew on your next fill,if you did,you will need to use rubber gloves or pliers to loosen it,I use pliers all the time now,that is the only downside to the Nautilus,unscrewing,but it just becomes part of the routine.

Regarding the BVC coils,dual coil means there is one coil with two wires inside the coil,which are parallel, on other coils,there can be 2 separate coils inside one coil,like one on top of the other but both coils are inside one coil.
You may come across dual coil RDA's which are also called drippers,the dual coils in these are separately fixed to a positive & a negative post & cotton is pushed through the coils,which is your wicking.
Priming is pre-soaking the cotton inside the coil,3 or 4 drops of eliquid into the centre hole towards the side & one drop on each of the wicking holes on the outside of the coil,once done,screw the coil tightly into the base & fill up the tank & screw base/coil onto tank.
Nautilus's usually work great between 10w & 12w,depending what type of juice you are using,start off low on the watts,about 9w & work your way up until you find your sweet spot.
GS & Nautilus coils are a similar setup,most tanks have the same sort of setup,hope this helps...

Do not get the NEBox. Too complicated.

Get the iStick 30w or 40w and a nautilus mini.

Can someone drops me links for this?

I have a pen style e-cig, and it's my second type that I've pretty much abandoned early on. They just don't give me a throat hit, and thats what I seem to miss most about smoking.

I've a range of juices and stuff but I only ever use it in an absolute emergency, and its a total piece of ****. I use Wingnut Vampire kiss liquid, which is actually pretty nice, but the e-cig itself is dire.

Lad here in work was watching me use mine today(I'm totally broke and cant afford smokes) and he was asking why I wasn't inhaling. Responded that I'd read somewhere that you let the vapour hang in your mouth and its absorbed that way. He kinda laughed saying no wonder you cant stick with it.

When I tried inhaling(through various methods or slow long drag etc) it was like inhaling a cigar and I was coughing like mad.

As much as there is the nicotine addiction, for me I also need to feel that throat hit, or its a total waste of time and effort for me.

These istick and nautilus things, worth a go in that vain?

Can't lie that the financial aspect is becoming more appealing about vaping.

You might cough or feel like choking at first, but remember, same thing happen when you started smoking You need a little patience and some willpower, but in the end it will be worth it. I'm off fags for more that a year, used to smoke 20 fags or 15 rollies a day.
But you need to use something better than petrol station grade e-fags. My setup is 40W iStick(50E) + Aspire ETS tank(10E) + BVC coils(10E for a 5x pack, change one every 2 weeks) + 12mg/ml Liqua(10E for a 30ml bottle) juice, all available online or at a serious e-cigg shop.

So start-up kit around 80E, after that vape for less than 5E a week.

12mg/ml is the nicotine strength/concentration. I started with 18mg/ml. You can go higher (I think 24 is the highest) or lower (again, I think 6 is the lowest) depending on what and how much are you smoking at the moment. You can mix them as well, for example if 12 is too weak and 18 is too strong, mix them together and you'll get 15mg/ml.
Also you might choose a cheaper battery, but I strongly recommend one with variable voltage.

Why? My wife has the 30W one and myself the 40W one, seems pretty much the same to me. The 40W one also supports fancy TC coils, but for regular ones they are the same.

Quick question if anyone can answer.

I have a nautilus mini tank and i lost the rubber bit that sits in place to screw it on. Is there any website that sells these rubber stoppers as my tank is otherwise useless!

Cheers
