Hiya!

I stumbled upon this forum about a week ago and finally decided to join. I've been vaping for nearly a month, now.

This is actually my second try at vaping. My first attempt was 5 years ago with cig-a-likes. To say I was unimpressed would be an understatement. So now it's just me and my eGo. My main concern is whether my poor little 1000mAh twists can really handle the low resistance coils that are prevalent, now. Sticking with 1.8 ohms and trying to focus on the lower voltages to be safe.

Still smoking but I've dropped from 5 packs a week to one. I consider that, in itself an achievement, so I'm not in any hurry to ditch the last pack.

1.8 Ohms is a good place. Much lower and it'll limit itself or shut down. Hopefully not go Boom.

Welcome back!

Welcome Maxwell. Twists and Spinners have an amp limit, so even if they could take 1.2ohm coils you'd still max out somewhere anyway.

As djsvapour said... don't worry too much about it. There is a built-in safety feature on the spinners that won't let them fire the sub-ohm coils that are on the market. You'll need to step up to a higher variable wattage battery (Kanger Subox Mini, as an example) to do that.
Glad to hear that the spinners are working out better for you though... the vast majority of us also stepped from cig-a-likes to better equipment. Just don't get too caught up in having the newest thing on the market... whatever works to keep you off the cigarettes and makes you happy is good enough to vape!

Greetings and welcome @MaxwellPink seems like you are on the right path already. Any questions just ask, we will do our best to help.

Thanks everyone!

Good to know about the twists/spinners. I like the portability of them and plan on keeping at least one of them, along with some smaller tanks, even if I do finally get to the point where I'm comfortable trying a mod.

The subox is a great mod to start at when you're ready. Keep it in mind. I got one when I broke my spinner doing some brake work. Its awesome, and still very portable.

Hi and welcome. +1 on subohm coils being too much for spinners. I will also say I don't want to test out the safety circuit. An iStick 30 can go fairly low, and isn't a lot bigger...

welcome dude im new too

as long as you cut back on smokes you're getting closer and closer to quitting. You can do it!!!

My 2nd try too. My first I had an eGo for only acouple weeks before I needed more to keep me satisfied. Now got a IPv4 and a billow v2. Works nice but I use my subtank alot too.

hi

 

[nikolai111]

I wouldn't worry about sub ohm right now especially with just an ego, i suggest learning a little bit more on mech mods and Drippers if your wanting to sub ohm but its not something you'd really want to get into when you've only using a ego for a month, but its all up to you

 

[nikolai111]

hi

the wolf pack's all here

 

[Cloudmann]

Yep. Get and stay comfortable with smaller, but effective setups. The Ego setups are perfectly fine for the time being... welcome.

 

[MaxwellPink]

@nikolai111 sub ohm is something I've thought about. I'm assuming with big cloud comes big flavor (which, along with a good nic level, is what I need) but I have no problem taking the slow and steady route to get there. I just want to make sure the trip is as safe as possible.

 

[kkiet]

What nic level are you at?? That has alot to do with it, I started at 24 and am now down to 6. You can do it. I lucked out on my first try after trying everything else.

 

[BamaBabe4Ever]

Welcome. Been a member since 2012 but like you i tried the cig-a-likes and did nothing for me. So I just started Vaping again with all the newer stuff for about a month now. Have not smoked since

 

[melodicstealer]

Hi..welcome..im also a newbie here

What nic level are you at?? That has alot to do with it, I started at 24 and am now down to 6. You can do it. I lucked out on my first try after trying everything else.

12mg is my "go to", as in I try all new flavors at that level. I know that nic in vapor is absorbed differently so I've been upping the levels on some of the keepers to 18 for mornings and breaks. May go higher.

On a related note, if a flavor has a harsh throat hit, but is otherwise good, which would be better to adjust, first? PG/VG or nic?
