E-Cig / Vaping

[DaveEdge]

Did someone actually call cigs "analogue cigarettes" ?? lol... ffs..

Fwiw I was smoking from my early teens, blazing etc every day from my mid teens and I've been on e-cigs for 3 months now and haven't touched a fag or owt else...(And I was taking the piss about some saying analogue lol)...

Anyone who knocks them needs to try one first. I've never been a social smoker, I was smoking 30+ a day so they're definitely not bullshit, I only buy menthol and pipe tobacco because they hit like a real smoke and are the nearest thing.

Saved a shit load of money, got my smell and taste back and more importantly my lungs aren't gonna be fucked by the time I'm 50 now (hopefully)

Seriously, anybody reading this thread doubting them, give them a try with a high dose of nicotine and you'll quite smoking, guarantee it.

BTW my atomizers fuck up after a couple of weeks, any recommendations for better quality than standard coils that are e-cig fitment?

My brothers have been using Copenhagen for years. The price per can is pushing $5. Both switched just to save money. Doing just as well on the e-cig, at a small % of the cost.

So after plenty of research last night I decided on my setup and ordered it.

I ordered the Vision Spinner in Stainless:

I ordered the KangerTech T2

and I ordered replacement atomizer/coil/wicks

For the juice I haven't decided yet. There's a local shop I might go try some stuff at and buy from there. After ordering I realized I could have gotten the Kanger Protank 3, Kanger Aerotank, or the Kanger Mini Protank 3 for pretty cheap if I ordered it with the Vision Spinner. Only reason I didn't was because I needed the charger and if you look at the link it seems like you can choose just the battery, battery and charger, or battery and tank. I needed the charger otherwise I think I would have went with the Mini Protank 3. It is dual coil though so I thought it might be overkill with the spinner battery.

Thats just about the same as what I use, and I dont see how they could be rebuildable. They work decent though,decent amount of "hit" if you will. Sometimes I wish it would do a little more.

[pDubs]

So I'm not going to lie I am a complete noob to this. Was thinking about ordering that ego I posted above but found out it's half the price on ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/CE4-Clearomizer-With-1100mAh-Battery-Vaporizer-Pen-Charger-Starter-Kit-/321369282461?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item4ad31a179d

After some research these apparently are pretty good. One thing I am confused about is whether or not it is rebuild-able. I won't be using this extremely frequently (weekends when I'm drinking, some points during the day). All I need is this and the liquid? From what I've gathered the clearomizer needs to be completely replaced probably every 2-3 weeks. Does that mean the coil and wick aren't replaceable? Sorry for the dumb questions I'm learning as I go. I would be completely happy with a good quality one that simply needs recharging and I can rebuild the cartomizer/clearomizer. I would have no issue disassembling to clean and rebuild I just still don't fully understand everything yet. Thanks in advance guys/gals.

I've been thinking about picking up a basic started vape to try out. I really know nothing about them and have been doing a little research before I buy.

http://www.vapes.com/ego-ce4-starter-kit-free-silicone-stand/

This seems to be a good started choice based on it being their best seller and good reviews. It seems cheap though only being $20. A few people who I work with said they spent about 100-125 on theirs.

Anyone know anything about this thing?

If they have the above styled battery(those are called EGO style batteries) and spent $120 on them with in the past year, they basically got ripped off.

$20 is about the going price on those so I would buy from there.

Now the thing is to use good juice,

^that's my recently discovered juice company that I've been happy with.

Recently got my 3D "Auto-Dripper" for my Nemesis from Fasttech, been using it for about two weeks now. so far, best thing ever for drives longer than 30 mins!!

Coil is a single twisted 28gauge micro-coil on 1/8th drill bit 7 wraps reading about 0.7 ohms, using a cotton yarn as a wick.

I have my wick legs touching the bottom of the juice well, and I'm able to take 4+ sec long drags no problem. I pump every 3~5 hits as I would normally re-drip into a normal RDA.

here's my setup.


So worth it.

[mad-ass]

Tried out new Juice by company called Space Jam, Andromeda flavor in 6mg.


Let's get the basics out of the way, throat hit and vapor production is all there. The aroma of the juice itself is amazing, except it doesn't taste like what it smells like.

I expect to at least taste like what it smells like out of my dripper, but the flavor just isn't there.

The description of the juice it self is..
"A creamy mix of pomegranate and blueberry that leaves you with nothing to desire. This e juice has the ultimate blend of velvety, lush undertones, with the sweet flavors of tantalizing fruit! "

I probably won't buy again, just because I feel like I've been cheated out on flavor.

I build mine like a micro coil. 28g 8 wraps on a 5/64 bit. Came out to .2 ohms. If you think about it, its basically a compact quad coil and it hits like one.



heres a single coil. .6ohm build. You can see how fast it fires and how long it holds heat. Only need 2-3 second bursts.

single coil. stock small airholes on a trident clone

I don't see how that would be different than the twisted? and that sounds like pain in the ass to build.

For those that don't know what parallel coil for vaping is, it's basically taking two strands of wire side by side and wrapping a coil with it.

^That is what would be considered a parallel coil, looks like it was made using 28 gauge wire, 4/3 wrap(4 counts of coil on side side, 3 on the inside, what it's commonly called, but if you look at it, it's 3 complete coil turns)

UberPare: Do you build it as a micro coil(all the wires touching) or a normal coil? Post up your setup!

[UberPare]

Try a parallel coil with 28g. Its nuts. Dual parallel is even better

Decided to try out the 28 gauge kenthal A1 wires...glad I did.
Picture says it all, but let me rephrase it.
Twisted 28gauge kenthal A1 wraped on 1/16th drill bit 8 times reading at 0.7 ohm.

I think this is considered micro coil? (Macro -> Micro -> Nano -> super-nano) but either way.. Vaping with Dr. Picnic's Magic Elixir Sasquatch flavor @ 6mg Nic. This is a 50/50 pg/vg mix.


Flavor and vapor production has gone up from the twisted 30G as expected. I haven't used it long enough to give you data on battery life, juice consumption etc. yet, but I'll get to it in about a week or so.

So far, so good!

I feel like the kanger vape I have just doesnt do the trick, so I still smoke cigs. I'm really hoping this new mechanical mod with the rebuildable atomizer will do the trick, I'm over smoking/paying for cigs.

After hitting my buddies mechanical vape, its so much more a fulfilling hit.

yes they can get better with a rebuild.
