E-Cigs

[Taff107]

Gents, Im after some advice. I need to get off the fags and need to get a good replacement.
Is anyone able to recommend a good setup that can deliver a good amount of 'smoke' whilst having a decent sized tank and good battery life? Im looking to spend about £60-80 to get a good fag substitute. Recommendations as to where I should shop would be appreciated too. Many thanks

I'd get an Eleaf Istick 30w plus couple aspire nautilus tanks, a mini for out and about and a full size for back home. I get all my kit from fasttech these days as its much cheaper plus delivery isn't too bad at around 7-10 days (choose china post or Singapore post on check out though)

Also worth getting a spare battery just to use while the isticks charging.

Charger (these are good ones) Argos also sell them for around a tenner.

Charging cable (get a 2meter cable so you can use it while plugged in)

Aspire ESP 30w with Mini Nautilus is still working very well for me, no desire to smoke analogues

One tip from when I started, 24mg+ juices seem appealing so that you can get plenty of nicotine but lower mg juices are actually a lot nicer even if you have to use the ecig a bit more. down to 6mg now and although I get through a fair amount of juice, it's much more enjoyable

Another one worth getting for the nautilus fans is the Beyond Vape Silo Tank. Basically a revamped full size nautilus with better airflow & can handle a few more watts. Usually around 15-17w for me and I'm using it more & more since getting the Istick 50w. Looks like a RTA so a bit too big on my 20w!

The istick's are pass through's so you can use it while its charging.

I know that! But back home I charge it on the kitchen worktop and my cables only 1m long and the sofas the other end of the room

[Taff107]

TY for the replies chaps.

I'm in Aldershot.....unfortunately.

I had one of the £20 starter kits and tbh, it just didn't 'cut the mustard'. Just didn't seem to be enough 'puff' with it and the battery always seemed to be needing charging.

I shall try one of those mentioned

I suppose you could buy a second istick but I don't know anyone who would have 2

Got a 30w coming from FT

My 20w has become a pain to use now, 510 pin's had it

In pink?

I almost want something to happen to one of my 20w so I can buy a 30w

Out, out or just out of Alderste?

I left in 2004, best thing I did

Out, out.
That's my 24 and it can't come soon enough Dai

24!!!!! Yeah thats long enough

I did just under 9 and that was enough for me, should have really stuck it out for the half pension but when its time to go....its time to go

Scary getting out though, took me a while to get used to it.....ended up working with mostly ex-mil anyway so feels like I haven't really left!

Back on subject.

If you do get into it then well worth trying a few premium juices out, some are fantastic some a bit meh (tastes very subjective with eliquid so what one person really likes tastes foul to someone else)

Some nice stuff here but a bit pricey:

If you like tobacco flavours then Manabush is a must...

Then a pretty cheap way to try different American juices out is join Zamplebox which is a monthly subscription service (around £43 p/m for the Gold Package) thats up to 180mls juice usually in 15 or 20ml bottles. I've just cancelled mine though, got enough t last e a good 4/5months from here so will start up again later in the year.

^^^^^excellent service and a great idea as some of the juices are unavailable here in the UK or high priced.

What a brilliant invention these things are.

Fired up my first one, Innotek VTR v2, for the first time yesterday. No urge whatsoever to roll another cigarette after been a steady 15 or so a day for 23 years.

Loving the Alchemist Cupboard RY4 and looking forward to trying other flavours and varieties.

Can't believe I never tried this sooner, much prefer it to the taste and flavour of smoking real fags!

Got my Magma clone today, first RDA I got so was looking forward to trying it out.
Its a dual coil build and came at 0.6 ohms, very good hit.

Whats the weight like? I was watching a review the guy doing it kept banging on about how light it was as its made of carbon fibre. Though it might be more suit freindly that the istick.
