E-Cigs

[RichTT]

Had no problem flying with mine either. As the others said, just pop in a clear plastic bag. Must admit my Nautilus didn't like the experience though. Not sure whether it was being on its side, or through small pressure variations but the bottom of the device was completely flooded when i got off the other side. Had to go open it up and wash/clean it out.

Make sure your tank is upside down when on the plane, this way the pressure won't push the liquid out.

I am fascinated by these E- cigs.

I am now 8 months off real cigs and I am tempted to try one out of curiosity. But I guess as people move off 'real' cigs for these that would not be a good idea.

It is ridiculous that they should/are be banned in public places, what damage to others do they do...Nothing?

Is it right they cost about £5 each for a vial? Where does that money go, does the tax man take his rip off 95% or is that to come soon. Or does the manufacturer rake all the cash in? I presume they cost peanuts to produce?

I must admit though, when you see this Nicotine liquid in its pure form, the thought of that going into your body is a bit off putting!

You can get zero % nicotine juice to try.

Price depends who you buy from. Some are cheaper some are more expensive and some claim to be produced with unicorn tears at stupid ££££ a bottle but people buy it.

I once tried one of those nicotine free bongs, I seem to recall a fruit flavour and it was no substitute for Nicotine!


Now I am off the cigs after 20 years I think I will stick to not going back to any substitute.

No worries

Only problem with the nautilus tanks is the coils could come from a dodgy batch or might burn the wicks early if too much powers applied or not enough airflow. I get all my authentic coils from Fasttech now as it works out cheaper....get the BVC coils though not BDC as they're better

With the kanger tanks you can either get the standard coils (crap!!) or the nature vape/Camy coils then just have to dry burn & rewick these when you change juices or feel the flavour go off, muji/Japanese cottons worth getting here for the extra flavour. So miles cheaper in the long run but the aspires are still better tanks imo (with the bvc heads)

My nice new Natulius Mini tank arrived today from Vapour-Room. Frustratingly, the knurled part/airflow control is a tiny bit too big to fit through the 'skeleton' ring on my Innokin VTR. However, I can assemble it 'in situ' by putting the bottom bit on the connecter before screwing on the pyrex reservoir and the mouthpiece bit. So, I can try it and if it's good, sell my VTR kit and get another mod (box type preferred).

Got myself a Kangertech Aerotank (V2), what are my best options for coils? Apart from the ones they supply with the tank. Thanks in advance.

Bought a second hand istick on POTV for my Wife as a back-up, worked fine when she tried it today, she re-filled her tank and it's doing the dreaded atomizer low or atomizer short nonsense. Grrr. Thankfully I paid via PayPal.

Seemed a decent wee device when it was working, pity.

Popped into my local shop today to get some coils and had a crack on the guys sub-ohm device (istick 30w and Aspire sub-ohm tank). I was massively unimpressed! Yeah, there was a little bit more vapour out of it, but barely. Flavour wise (it was full of Heisenberg), it just didn't taste anywhere near as good as my nautilus.

Kinda put me off looking at moving to the next level up. Should it have been a massive improvement on an istick 20w and nautilus mini?

I don't think the Atlantis is renowned for being flavourful, although griffin dai likes his. Flavour is very subjective and perhaps Heisenberg works better for you with a higher ohm coil and less power. Maybe his coil was past it's best? My Lemo Drop knocks spots off my Nautilis', but it's so airy that it's only really any use for lung inhales. I've not went back to a Nautilus since I got it, but it's a rebuildable so not for every body. The Kanger Subtank range is getting great reviews for flavour.

Heisenbery is 50/50 right? I'd want something higher VG in the tank when Sub-ohming. I've only had mine a week or so and am still getting to grips with it (Kanger Subtank Mini). But I have to say, the flavours on all my juices have changed, mostly for the better.

PG60/VG40 but close enough.

I've dabbled with a load of juices since starting down this road and this is my firm favourite. I've just had 5 x 30ml delivered in fact.

My Bad, I love it too, not tried it in the subtank yet though.

Something up there. I'm gettimg tons of flavour out of mine, only gripe is the small capacity tank which is next to useless considering how much juice this thing gulps down. I'm using the aspire cf sub with mine and find it very good, I'd have thought with a VV mod like the Istick it would chuck the clouds out at 30w.

I'm getting the 50w Istick for mine, (20w one is about to go in the bin!!)

Query... what does it mean when my coil in my nautilus is not reading 1.6ohm anymore and now reading at 3.1 Ohms

Never seen this before, does it mean its on its way out?

[The Turbonator]

Did it increase slowly or all of a sudden.

Resistance will build up on your coil as gunk from the liquids builds up on it. At 3.1ohm though, I would have thought you'd have a burning taste long before now.

Nope... no burning taste at all, it seems to have crept up, sometimes when I know its on its way out I will see it hit 2.1Ohm before burning last but never this high.

[The Turbonator]

If there's no burnt taste I'd probably just keep using it.

My coils have been acting a little weird recently. As soon as I put them in, they go to 1.9 when they're supposed to be 1.6.
