E-Cigs

I learnt that some people smoked cigs by inhaling directly into their lungs.

Wow, really? I've never met one of them. Sounds a bit hardcore!!

Yes really. Most people draw the smoke into their mouths, removing the cig then inhaling the smoke into their lungs, so a direct lung inhale was new to me.

I mentioned further up, I've been using http://www.onepoundeliquid.com and my latest order has been a mixture of 3mg and 0mg, which I'll mix about a bit with a view to any subsequent order being 0mg, then I'll be happy.

Just ordered some 12mg 50/50 mixes to use in my Subtank mini running the 1.5ohm coil on my Cool Fire IV at 12.5W and am very impressed

Ordered yesterday on standard delivery and they turned up today. Just trying the Blueberry Ice at the moment but have Lemon Sherbert, Double Menthol and Mint Blast to go at as well. Thanks for the link

I ordered ten to try out a few months ago and hated them so gave them to my brother. He's been using them this week and they smelt great had great flavour. Seems they post straight off the production line so may be work leaving them for a few weeks to steep if no good on first vape.

They're my 4 favourites at the moment! Double menthol is lovely and cool. Lemon Sherbet tastes exactly as it should!

I also got a couple of No1 Cloud which I add to 6mg DM and MB as I'm coming down to 3mg. Lots of vapour.

Enjoy!

I see the Aspire Premium kit gets quite a few recommendations as a good starter kit, will I notice much of an 'upgrade' from the Blu Pro that I'm using now?

I tend to find the Blu is fine when the clearomiser is new but loses flavour, smoke and 'hit' pretty quickly, I'd also like to start trying some different flavours.

Or is there anything else I should consider?

I have not tried a Blu Pro, but the Nautilus is a good tank, holds more juice and has adjustable airflow.

The battery is not great, Something like the Istick 30W is a good match. More power, longer between charging, more compact, battery indicator etc etc

I'm new to this and have the aspire nautilus mini and cvv stick and it's okay. Also have cool fire iv and kanger genitank - which I prefer. The nautilus mini keeps getting 'bubbly' and fluid builds up in the tip - a bit of a faff. I don't get this problem with the kanger and find it more consistent and satisfying.
I think I'm alone though as most here and elsewhere recommend the aspire - I'm probably doing it wrong.

I'd get the 30w istick and just keep the carbon one for a back up. Much better vape with the istick although you need to keep the watts down to around 11/12 max or you risk killing the coil, I was a bit dissapointed with my aspire cf, I think it's the 1600mah I bought. Looks nice in carbon red though

I had forgotten about that as I have not used a Nautilus for a long time. I don't seem to get that on my Kanger tanks but I think its because they have delrin drip tips.

Yep it's the one I mentioned back in December. The milkshake was one of the nicest juices I've ever had, I'm slowly getting though their Raspberry Custard. Will definitely be getting the rest of their range on pay day. Billy bargain for 100ml

I gave it a whirl on your recommendation and thought it had little flavour - I appreciate juices are subjective but I wonder what voltage you are vaping it using? Tried in with both the istick and nautilus mini and in the nebox and neither really gave it much depth.

That said, I also took Rawwr's recommendation of the rather expensively priced menage a trois and haven't been bowled over. Each time I return to the faithful Heisenberg and love the stuff.

Its not supposed to have much depth, or knock your socks off flavour wise. Its more muted so you can use it as an all day vape. Im running a 1.2ohm coil in the Kanger tank at 17W, I must say its getting better with each top up so maybe it would benefit from steeping for a couple of weeks.

It not fantastic but vapeable for the price, ill go for the strawberry yogurt next time.

[Shnozz]

Thanks Cotty - might try steeping it.

Certainly not a complaint BTW to anyone who is recommending stuff, I am loving trying different stuff so all good. Just imparting my own thoughts

It was in a Horizon Arctic tank with 0.5ohm head at 35-40w. Yep it's a very individual thing with eliquid.
I've tried a few expensive ones now on different peoples recommendations and most have been passed on to a friend. Latest lot was from Halcyon Haze, bought the full range to try and was very disappointed in all bar Gins Addiction. Also bought some I Love Donuts by Mad Hatter and found it very weak in flavour. Much preferred DRPN Donuts....bear claw was really nice (but again....some might prefer the other one!)

There's a new vape shop opened up in town, he's got some crackers in stock but gave me a shot at his DIY Heisnberg juice that he's been working on. It's fantastic!!! But won't sell to the public I need to make him my new best budd and swap a few juices with him! Heisenbergs really nice but this stuff was something else

If you like Heisenberg I'd give Kraken's Shade a go:

Sorry budd, I meant he's made his own clone version of Heisenberg with his various DIY juices, I think he said 120mls of testing different versions out until he got it right!! I usually give up after an hour! so not strictly Heisenberg but it's nicer and very, very.....

I'd also recomend the one hit wonder juices. The my man and milkman are both really good, especially at £50 (£45 online) for 180ml (ok there is cheaper but this is basically a 'premium' juice

I have to disagree, Definitely not a 'premium' product. Loads of sweeteners chucked in so it clogs up coils like nothing else and imo, it's vapeable but it hasn't got very much flavour at all. Not that cheap either!
