Simplify things for me please.

[PButter]

Long story short.... I used to vape years ago. Didn't last as I got tired of maintaining, tweaking, cleaning, blah blah.

Now coming back I'm overwhelmed. ...to say the least.

I want simple & small. I don't want to clean or really replace atomizers. I want a battery that's reasonable but not massive in size. I don't care about variable power or any of that really.

I swear I don't want a completely disposable product... just something that's EASY. It just needs to work.

And banana flavors! Who sells the best?

Anything that will suit me? Closest option? Give me a starting place!

There are lots of simple rigs available. Search for starter kits. Wicks and coils have to be replaced. Nobody has discovered a way to avoid that. Once you have something that works keep learning.

I think you would like the Tarot Nano by Vaporesso. You just need to buy new coils, pop the old one out, and new one in. Takes about 5 seconds to do. No way around that.

I would recommend cleaning your tank at least once a month or so. The Tarot Nano has a 2500mah battery. I chain vape and only have to charge it twice a day. It goes up to 80W. About $49 bucks on ebay for the kit with tank, usb cord, extra coil etc...

Check out some YouTube reviews on it for more info...

You can just buy a simple starter kit with replaceable pre-made coil heads which are extremely easy to replace. Some of the good ones are the new Vaporesso Tarot Nano Kit, iJust S (or 2), Kangertech Topbox, Eleaf iStick Pico, and many other options. SMOK also has a variety of good ones like the OSUB variants, Micro One Starter Kit, Knight Kit, etc.

Just Google "vape starter kits" and find one with replaceable factory coil heads. Oh and some of them, like the Tarot Nano, have built-in batteries which do not require an external charger and just make it easier for you.

w.e choice you make, it is better than smoking analogs.

 

[PButter]

Thanks for the replies. I'll start researching the suggestions. I'm not even starting from scratch & I'm blown away by all the options avaliable these days.

 

[SteveS45]

Look at the Aster RT 22 as it is small built in battery with lots of run time. Nice little TC MOD.

Did you want an all in one? Do you prefer mouth to lung akin to real smoking or direct lung hits?

Maybe an Ego AIO kit is perfect for you, maybe it isn't...up to your vaping style, honestly.

For me, an important part of keeping it simple is to not have to buy a new device every 2 or 3 months. To that end, I would suggest you research some of the better built (read as pricey) devices. If you go cheap, you'll be back for a replacement way too often. My ProVari 2.5 fits the bill, but is now out of production. It still functions flawlessly after three years. Read lots of owner reviews and ignore the manufacturer's hype.

You're setting yourself up for failure if you want quick and easy. Ecigs are still finicky devices that leak, give dry hits, etc. You will be on the lookout for the perfect tank, the perfect mod and the perfect juice and you will NOT find them right away. If you're serious about vaping, read up and ask questions and accept a new hobby which is fun if approached the right way. Otherwise you will not stick with it. Cigarettes are just too easy, convenient and idiot-proof and vaping just can't compete on those terms.

 

[SteveS45]

Most simple low power solution is an iStick TC40W and a Nautilus Mini Tank. Prime the coils properly and keep it under the max wattage and it will provide a flawless leak proof vape experience. If you want clouds get a Baby Beast and some of the Quad coils at least. Low power and regular VW coils. Done!

Good Luck and Happy Safe Vaping!

I am vaping Banana Milk by MOO eliquids. To me it's a sweet banana creamy flavor. One of my favorite vapes.

Mouth to lung is preferred!

And that's exactly why I failed to convert last time. I was hoping 5 years later things would be easier. Lol.

Check out the evod starter kits. My kit came with two batteries and both still work after 2 years. They are about as simple as you can get.

You could always audition to be my next husband (or wife). I fill and clean his tank, charge his batteries, change his coils, and make his e liquid.

/most of the above ^^^^ not euphemistically

But talking for real, I think Nautilus Mini atomizers are pretty much the easiest things going, no fuss, no muss, no leaky. Turn it upside down and unscrew the bottom to refill or change coil: under 30 seconds. If refilling a totally empty tank or putting in a new coil, let it sit a couple of minutes before vaping so the coil gets wet with e liquid (or you can prime the coil with a little bit of e liquid in about 5 seconds). You probably only need to change the coil every couple of weeks or so.

To wash tank (maybe once a week?), again turn upside down, unscrew the bottom part with the coil and set it aside. Run the tank through hot water, dry it a bit with some paper towel, blow through the drip tip, fill and reassemble: about a minute, maybe two if you're ambitious.

Get two internal battery mods, like the iStick mini, say. Charge from your computer's USB port (or a USB wall charger or a power bank). Use one while the other's charging.

If you are a smoker trying to quit, I guarantee you that you will spend more time cleaning ashtrays and assorted muck and going out to buy cigs than doing the above (not to mention all the plotting and planning and anguish to even find a place to smoke them). MUCH more time. Nothing better than looking out at the chilly, rainy (or scorching hot) day and knowing you don't have to slog out in the miserable weather to overpay for a pack of smelly death sticks that you hate anyway.

All fair points Tazzle. I bet i can get my hubby to maintain mine too. That is a Most EXCELLENT idea. Thanks all for the advice. I think I've got some great suggestions to get me going.

Appreciate yall.

Hi PButter.

I can Imagine how coming back after 5 Years would be Very Confusing. Things have Changed So Much! But the Good News is things have Also gotten Much Better.

I think SteveS45's suggestion of an iStick 40W TC and a Nautilus Mini Tank would be a Great Combination for someone like yourself.

Tanks that take Pre-Made Coil Heads are about as simple as it gets.

 

[RainSong]

Whatever you get just make sure to have backups!

*I maintain EVERYTHING for my husband.

Probably the most sensible post in this thread thus far. iSticks + nautilus... the laziest way to vape. And for us Mouth-to-Lungers, who typically vape at low wattages the coils seem to last forever.

I have other mods but I'm a fan of iSticks. Have an old 30watt going on 2 years now. Still maintains a reasonable charge.

I don't have a Mini, but use the full size Aspire Nautilus every day. And I agree completely, among the least fussy I've used to date.

I use mine on a ProVari
