Hey Sonny Do You Rremember When...

Hey Sonny do you remember when?.

Your very first ecig was a Cig Look alike and it was a race to get the battery recharged before you were done vaping the other.
Everyone was trying Fluval as a wick
Atomizer and cartridge came separately and you stuck a straw down the side for better wicking
Spending $50.00 for an E-Cigar that would only last 2 weeks.
Buying a Prodigy and the owner telling you that you were the only one having problems.
Short circuiting a battery with change in your pocket. Ouch
Buying a Ecig without a button and having the wind from your Car Window setting it off.
Buying a Provari because it was the first reliable VV Unit.
Buying a Volcano like unit, opening your Vivi Nova and instead of unscrewing the cap, you took it apart flooding your unit. [Fluid leaked through the holes] then when you fired it up. The whole APV started to smoke!

Let's take a walk down memory lane, share your experiences.

Stumped On A New Ecig Type

My mother in law just came home with a new Ecig. She is fairly old, yet insists, no matter how how many people tell her, that Cigarette sized ecigs are NOT economical in the long run. Don't even try to make suggestions, she's really stubborn.

Anyways, she's been off of Cigarettes for a while, and has been using an EGO/Stardust combination for almost 2 years. She said her battery wasn't holding a charge, and decided to pickup a new ecig. She bought something called a Mistic brand ecig...but it has a tank on the end of it. The whole unit is about the size of a normal cigalike. However, the end is a mini tank system. I tried it, and little vapor comes out of it.. which she says is fine. I will say, the products looks nice.

It seems it has a very small battery in it with a smaller than a mini protank II style general configuration for the atomizer. I doubt the thing holds a mil, and I doubt the battery is over 100MaH. The unit screws off the battery, and then the coil and wick unscrews out of the tank. It reveals a setup similar to a mini protank, where the chimney goes into the coil. The coil is TINY. I tried peeking down to see if I can see the coils, but I couldn't. I can't find any sort of specs about the product, type of connector (It's smaller than a 510), battery size/capacity, or even where to buy replacement coils. On the box, there is a website... MysticVapors.com is up for sale!!, but even that site is vague on anything about it and only sells the starter kits. Is there any information about the device anyone knows about? Its a cigalike size with a tank. Can replacement coils be bought? any gotcha's (besides incredibly low amount of vapor) A link to the exact item she bought is HERE. I feel she's just wasted money, but if I tell her that, she just gets all huffy.


Thank you in advance.  

Do You Have A Buying Pattern?

I'm definitely OCD, but to stretch my bucks, through the years, I developed a buying pattern.

Every month: eliquid and spare heads
Every three months: mod, battery, driptips, enhancements
Every six months: new atty or replacements for the ones I have.

So far it works ok and I don't overspend. Any patterns on your side of the fence?  

Dotmod Aio

Hi everyone!
I'm not a big pod user, but for the longest time I've always had an AIO lying around in various forms. I'm growing tired of the overpriced and overcomplicated Billet Box and turning my eyes onto this. Although I love Nautilus coils and can get many here, I plan on buying the RBA and using it with that. My only issue is that at 35w I think it's a little underpowered.

Also I don't see many people buying it, instead buying Billet Boxes. Really, for me this looks a lot simpler. Do you have one? Can you tell me more about it? Thanks!  

Help Me Choose My New Ecig!

I have had a kanger protank 3 for a year and a half now with a itaste vv battery, i need a new updated Ecig now.

I am willing to spend around £30 (no more than £35) and would need a battery and a tank.


I want the best flavor and vapor production for the money. I also want it to be reliable as the kanger protank 3 leaked a lot in my time and sometimes would randomly stop working.


Thanks guys!  

Watts And Volts

So I've been looking through different posts and I'm still confused about the difference between watts and volts. I'm looking at buying a vv4 and I figured it would be a good idea to understand what exactly I'm buying before spending the money on it. While I was looking through the forums, I saw words like sub-ohms and ohms being thrown around so IF someone wants to explain that I would be eternally grateful otherwise that's the next lesson I'm planning to learn.  

Used To Think "dripping Was Dumb".

I used to be one of those who thought the whole dripping thing was dumb.

After getting tired of buying coils for my atlantis, I decided to pop in to the store and pick up my first RDA.

I settled on the dark horse. I watched a short tutorial on youtube and built my first coil at 0.6 ohms.

Safe to say the atlantis and nautilis will go into retirement today.

I have never felt a nic buzz from vaping, but I can actually feel a buzz off this thing : I vape my atlantis at 3mg.

Also I love that I simply have to re wick and drip to try new flavours, and best of all NO MORE BUYING COILS.  

As I Stumble Through The Vaping Experience

Three and 1 half years ago a cancerous tumor was found in the upper lobe of my right lung. The 1/2 pack of cigarettes I had in my pocket were thrown away when I left the doctors office right after the discovery. I have not put one in my mouth since. I had surgery to remove the lobe.
Being seriously addicted to nicotine I asked my vaping daughter to get me started. She came up with some pencil batteries and a Kanger Protank Mini II. I replaced it many times during the last 3+ years with the same tank only "upgrading" to Eleaf Istick batteries. I worked my way down to .2% nicotine juice. I drilled out the air holes in the Protank to get more air flow. Battery life was minimal and refills on juice were frequent, vape clouds were small. I only went to 1 or 2 vape shops through the years not knowing what questions to ask for help with equipment, I just continued with the same set up. The neighbors daughter had an outfit that produced billows of vapor and a dandy looking outfit to do it with. I asked her what the brand was.... she didn't know and there was no writing on the unit.
I've came here looking for help but not knowing what questions to ask. I just looked.
The other day I was reading the GeekVape board and found someone asking for recommendations for an outfit. Most of the posters suggested an Aegis Cerberus 100W unit. I decided to order one. I have some 18650 batteries laying around. It came yesterday. I fired it up, made some adjustments and WOW what a hit. Seems to be a dandy outfit, sturdy and well made........ I ordered another one last night.

BTW I visit and Oncologist regularly and so far I'm cancer free.  

Is Transition To Ecig Possible This Way?

My bf is still smoking his regular 4-5 cigarettes while vaping, he says he can only start reducing his cigarettes once he gets used to the ecig, he's only had the ecig about two weeks, will he get used to the ecig eventually even if he continues to smoke his regular five?  

Can't Seem To Sub-ohm :(

Hi everyone, I started vaping with a vaporfi pro 650 mAh battery with an atty at 1.8- 2.0 ohm. Then I upgraded to a provari with a carto tank from IBTanked, which I LOVE!!! I tried a friends Atlantis and it was so harsh I couldn't believe how hot it was. I actually couldn't get into my lungs choked me up bad. So I bought a subtank mini the other day and tried the 1.2 ohm coil with my provari and again way too hot and harsh. I tried it at the lowest volts and not much vapor and the higher I went the more vapor but couldn't enjoy it (get it into my lungs) I really would like to blow big clouds but how the hell do you do it??? What am I doing wrong?

Second quick question, I'm thinking about buying an e-grip, I like the tank being inside of the mod and it comes with a 1.5 coil but will I still have the same problem as above. I like a warm vape but not a choking hot one!

Thanks and Happy Holidays!!!  

Obsess Much?

Just sat down this morning and had a quick look at where all my money's been going for the past few months.
Previously, I had smoking down to ~5 a day. Used to get them all from abroad, so roughly £5 for 20 at most. 40/week so £10/week and £520 in a year.

My current ecig spend:
£30 for first ecig
£25 for a Vision Spinner Battery
£15 for replacement tanks
£40 replacement coils (standard coils, then unicoils)
£100+ - Totally Wicked liquids
£50 - iStick
£25 - Subtank mini
£70 - mixing kit and concentrates
£50 - e-sheesha + cartomisers
£50 - premium liquids

£455+ (and that's just about 6 months, started in October)

I know that most if it was invested in the kit, and now that I have my ideal setup I hopefully won't be making those expensive purchases anymore on tanks and batteries. The DIY kit has enough to keep me going, now it's just buying concentrates that I need for recipes. I would have saved a lot more if I'd got the quality kit early on, but at the time I was new to it and wasn't sure if it's something I'd pursue.

It's probably not even that much in comparison what others spend, but I still feel like I've spent way more money than I should have.
Anyone in the same boat?
