    Personally, I'd go with an eleaf iStick 30w/50w and something like a Subtank Mini. Very good setup and gives you options later on when you get more advanced. :)

    An iStick and a mini nautilus is usually the first and best recommendation for beginners on here . I find the sub tank more suited to direct lung inhales which for me came a bit later on .

    I'd go with an istick 30 and a Kanger aerotank mega. You'll have plenty of change for juice as well.

    Yeah, much as I loved all 4 Vamos that I've owned they're old hat now.

    I'd go with an iStick 30w [a little future proofing] and an Eleaf GS air. They're cheaper than the Nautilus, just as good, and designed specifically to go with the isticks. I know that iVape will have them in soon, but thebestshop have them now, for €10.

    The iStick 30w is €45. I think that's much better bang for buck than a Vamo kit. Easier use, and neater too.

    You'll have plenty over to get a few extra coils and stock up on some juice :)

    Another thing to consider is if you happen to want to sell on. You'll find it hard to shift a Vamo, whereas you'll sell on the iStick in a heartbeat.

    Thanks for the suggestions

    Is the iStick bulky?

    Nope, it's one of the neatest devices out there. If you go a little more on the device, you could get the iStick 50w. It's tiny, more powerful and will cover you down the road if you decide to try sub ohm tanks. It's €60 though. The 30w would be just fine for now and leave you some juice funds

    Should add that with the isticks you don't need to buy any extra batteries or separate chargers. With the likes of the Vamo you'd need at least a couple of spare batteries at about €10 a pop, and a decent charger, around €25. With the iSticks you just charge them like a phone, they last for ages on full charge, and you can charge them using a laptop and use it while it's charging.

    It is safe,thing about the 50w is that it gives you a vast range of options as to how you vape,battery life is massive with it and its's regulated for safety. You may not need a 50w just yet,a 30w would probably do until you get accustomed to the whole vaping scene.:cool:

    50w is fairly big too. It's small to us who have been vaping a while because we compare the specs against things that are double the size but when comparing it to the average new vapers device it is large.

    I've been vaping for a good while now and whilst I think the istick is great, unless you are looking for an abnormally long battery life, I'd stick with the 30w.

    I use a kanger sub tank and never go over about 22w, so I've no idea what a 50watt device is needed for. With an aerotank you won't need more than 12w at which level the battery will last a day at least.

    Are you buying on line or going in to a shop? You pay a bit more in a store, but get the chance to try everything out first.

    iStick 30w is all you need for right now, in fact its more than you need for right now.
    ELeaf GS air is a great little tank so far, Aspire Nautilus Mini is a more expensive option but also good.
    I'd buy 30w iStick, 2xGS Airs and some nice eliquid, its pretty important you go and try the flavours yourself though. There are so many and you won't know until you try them.

    Some people like the tobacco flavours, I hated them and went straight to nice fruits and deserty flavours.

    Yup, safest bet is the 30w + Gs Air, even x2 as they are so cheap.

    I'm not sure why anyone thinks the iStick 50 is big?? towards a Vamo it's teensy :D

    What kind of liquid are you using? I use those coils sometimes and they last a week at the very least for me.

    I don't know tbh, could be a bad pack of coils. When you say no pull do you mean its blocked or you're just getting no vapor?

    As Egriff says,is there any vapor at all.
    It can't be making a connection,the pin of the Clearo is not touching the positive pin on the Vision.
    Usually the restriction of air will stop you from vaping but an Aspire has it's own air control,unless the air holes are blocked or not even there,maybe a fake clearo.

    Silly question....is the Vision turned on.
