Then all you need is juice. Over the last few weeks I have recommended this to at least 10 people (not on here), all have bought them and all don't seem to be having any problems.

Any other questions I am always more than happy to try and help.

I have exactly this set-up, and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Yes, I'm sure there are better components out there, but for someone like me, who is totally new to vaping (11 days in, now, and haven't had a cigarette since I started), it's perfect; easy to assemble, easy to use, easy to clean/change juices, and it just works very well all the time.

The only thing I would suggest in addition is a spare battery; nothing worse than having to wait for one to charge when you're dying to vape.

Excellent. Good work on staying off the smellies. Spare batteries are a must. I have loads now.

I've successfully dropped down on the fags recently but to deal with the odd craving am tempted to buy a "set-up" to take the edge off it.

The problem is every time I come on this forum with hope I end up with my head in my hands trying to untwine the geekdom stuff about a C3PO mod with a box of kinga lube on a glass aero tank gas mask whilst learning how to deskunk a load of cat p1ss Mandella juice.

I have tried and failed so many times. So much easier to just ask the fookwit in Tesco for 20 Benson silvers.

Its a bit confusing starting off mate, thing is this is the only vaping thread on PH, so you get a mix of newbies after a starter kit, some looking to step up from their old kit for a better vape/better kit, to others who are into their mods and Rebuildable's....all in the same place!

Just get the Aspire Nautilus Mini, spare BVC coils and a couple batteries (you need 2 batteries minimum) variable voltage/wattage means you can adjust the power for a better vape. The nautilus mini as about as good as it gets.

2 tanks also a bonus so you can have a couple different flavour juices on the go plus you have a spare if one breaks.

For a spare tank that's nice & cheap I'd get this Mini Protank 3 (good little tank)

Then get experimenting with different juices and you'll be off the stinkies in no time

I'll be picking your brains about these cf batteries soon. I need a nice compact vv battery when I go away to work and can't keep taking this Vamo, a mod plus 2/3 batteries & charger, takes up half the man bag and that's without enough juice to last me 2 weeks... need something small & light (passthrough would be ideal but not essential as I've got a small 650 ego for back up)

Was looking at another itaste v3 like I bought the missis but not fussed on the buttons (prefer a spinner type)

My aspire nautilus mini is going well, not had a fag for 4 days now went from smoking 20 or so a day to vaping on the 12mg juice with no issues not even craving a real one! Just need to find some better juice really im on some vampire stuff they sell at the local ecig shop.

Congrats. It's a good feeling!

Juice is very personal thing.

I use http://cloudhousevapor.com/American-made-Juices/Mo... for MBV juices. Love Thug juice, Jungle juice, Hawk Sauce and Cinamon Roll from them.
http://norsemanvapoursupplies.bigcartel.com/produc... are some good ones I can recommend. I love the chilly cherry.
http://www.health-e-vape.co.uk/a-z--flavours-with-... are good too.

There are fking loads of companies selling juices now, there is pretty much something for everyone and it really boils down to what sort of flavour you want and how much money you want to spend.

There are even some 'gourmet' brands now. http://www.halcyonhaze.co.uk/ Are a UK one that are getting a lot of good noise at the moment.
http://www.digbysjuices.co.uk/
http://www.mrslord.co.uk/index.php/nicotine-liquid...
http://spiritusvapes.com/ is great for US juices and Tristan is a great chap.
http://www.triphammer.co.uk/

If you want more budget juices, Hangsen stuff is good.

http://allthejuices.com/top-juices/ is good if you have no idea what you want you want.

4 weeks today for me

Currently using a Wizards Apprentice Evolved II paired with several Nautilus Minis and don't think there's a better setup out there for me at the moment.

I will be getting a Provari P3 when they're out in a couple of weeks! Must resist the (quite frankly ridiculous) urge to pre order one.

Well its thin and will not take up much room with a small UBS charger but they are still tall.



That's the 1000mah battery with the thicker collar that suits the mini nautilus, the bigger batteries thin at the top. They were supposed to be doing a pass though and they show one on their web site but not seen one to buy.

Never ending juice

I have a pear flavour in one of my tanks, its ok nothing to write home about. Its only a 5ml bottle so thought I would finish it then swap out the coil and try one of the 5 new flavours I have queued up and steeping for it. bd thing won't run out, I swear someone keeps coming into my house and topping the bottle up.

I have vaped two full 2ml tanks and there is still half of the 5ml bottle to go.

Its silly how quick it happens and you think why did I not do this weeks, months, years ago. But to be honest the quality of the gear being sold now is far superior the stuff a few years ago. Then it was, this isn't great, tanks leaking, battery doesn't last, now it just seems to work. The Aspire BVC (bottom vertical coils) are a game changer, everyone is raving about them

[Afromonk]

Not been on this forum for a little while, got a job and don't really go on tinternet much in the evenings now (cool story bro, I know).
However, my last posts concerned getting a Vision spinner and an aspire nautilis mini with BVC coils.
I used it for about a whole month but found the experience lacking, the tank especially felt crap, muted taste and no vapour.
On the advice of others across several forums I went and bought several more BVC coils with different batch numbers but to no avail, it was just naff all around.
Felt pretty gutted until I started my latest job where a guy there was selling a mech and I was interested (Atmizoo Lab) bought it off him cheap and he chucked in a Fogger V4 and Genuine Mephisto RDA with a battery.

After a little learning curve with building coils I can confidently say this is the best system by a million miles infact so good that I bought another Mech off him (Atmizoo dingo) and he chucked in an unused Mutant X RDA and more batts!
I wish this was the system I had started on, dripping on a mech might not be a portable system but it by far outstrips any other system I have tried for both flavour and amount of vapour.


The spinner got given to the missus

[markomah]

Almost two weeks into vaping, I think I've now tried about a dozen juices. I have been quite underwhelmed by a few but the ones that I keep coming back to are:-

1) 'The King' by King's Crown - primarily peanut butter and cream, with an undertone of light tobacco - really smooth and complex, lovely long aftertaste. This is one I keep coming back to; it's as enjoyable as a glass of good cognac in front of an open fire at the end of a good meal with old friends.

2) 'Ginger Nut' by Mrs. Lord & Co. - does exactly what it says on the tin! Top note of ginger, sweetish with a pleasant bit of heat, with base flavours of melted brown sugar. Really scrumptious.

3) 'Mother's Milk' by Suicide Bunny - this is like a really good strawberry cheesecake in vapour form. It's got a lovely rich feeling in the mouth. I wasn't sure I'd like it when I read the description, but I was won over as soon as I tasted it. It's subtle, complex and very, very more-ish.

I've got four new flavours coming in from Vapemunki tomorrow, based on Cotty's recommendations in this thread. Everything I've smoked this far has been 50/50 PG/VG, so I'm looking forward to trying some liquids with a higher proportion of VG.

I'm also thinking of trying some e-liquids from Five Pawns, probably Gambit and Castle Long. That said, they are seriously pricey, and I wonder am I just being seduced by the hype? I would be very interested in knowing if anyone on here has tried them and, if so, whether you think they're worth the (not insubstantial) premium.

Clicked on the thread out of curiosity.
Good grief! All this st just to suck up some vapour. Each to his own and all but it appears to be one giant waste of time and money.

I've tried Perpetual Check (their Berry mix). It was very nice, but to be honest I don't think worth the cash. Certainly nothing wrong with it, but it was lacking the last little something that for me makes a great juice. Probably a lack of complexity - it was very consistent in flavour, but that flavour didn't have a vast amount of depth. I also think that the packaging is excessive, and must be part of the premium.

The little posh tube containing a glass dripper bottle looked great, but instantly led to my missus asking how much it cost!

Hope that helps.

Recently trying a few different juices from kraken.

Minion Farts - great name, great juice. Tastes exactly like those banana penny sweets I used to love. Not too sweet for all day (although I do have a sweet tooth).

Kinslayer - first custard I've tried, good enough that I'll be trying some of the custards recommended on here.

Squid ink - great reviews, didn't do it for me.

Dire Wolf Bite - minty berry. Quite harsh and lacking in depth of flavour.

So a mixed bag. Just finishing a bottlebottle of Papillon organic Berry mix which has been steeping for months (tasted like water when I first got it, tastes alright now).

Time to order a big bottle of Snake Oil, and some samples from the ones recently mentioned...

Obvious troll is obvious!

My liquid of choice at the moment is Dr. Stanley Clark's Snake Oil - http://tmax-juices.co.uk/.

It's a complex flavour, with hints of citrus and aniseed.
