    Good Morning!

    Glad that it worked for you! Since it did, I think there are 2 possible explanations to the leak. 1 is that you flooded the atomizer. As I mentioned before, this can be from puffing too hard or to much, or possibly from just using too much juice while priming. The other way that I think it...

    *PUFF* ... new member appeared ... Hi all

    You have already received a bunch of great advice, so I will only address this one specific problem. I recently helped another new forum member with a similar issue. He was getting a sore throat because he had not primed his coils before starting to Vape. Did you prime your coil? Are you...

    Good Morning!

    This is just a guess as to what could have happened: If you puff on it too hard without firing, it can flood the coil. You can tell when a coil has flooded because it will gurgle when you puff on it. This can fill the base with fluid, and the base holds a ton of juice which will leak out of...

    Good Morning!

    That is great news that you are no longer getting a sore throat!!! I have only had my Subtank mini leak one time. I am not sure of the exact cause, but after cleaning it thoroughly including the base and allowing it to dry, it has never leaked again. I would say that it is not normal for the...

    Gaia or StingrayX?

    My suggestion is probably unpopular around here, and it looks like the money has already been spent, but as long as you have the gear to keep vaping, I recommend spending your next $25 on a book on personal finances. Clark Howard, Susie Ormand, or Dave Ramsey all have books that could help you...

    Woohoo! Keep up the hard work. The first week was the hardest for me, and it got easier after that.

    New Vaper - trying to quit smoking

    Congrats on 1 year! Ok! That's what I will do! I will start vaping my 9mg juice and I will keep a second tank loaded with 12mg, or I guess I can just carry my derringer and a unicorn bottle with my 12 in case of emergency. Thanks for the advice!

    New Vaper - trying to quit smoking

    I have a week or 2 worth of 12mg juice left, and I am trying to transition to 9. I was thinking that I would keep a couple tanks full - 1 with 12 and the other with 9. I was thinking I would try to primarily use the 9 but supplement with the 12 if cravings get rough. How does that sound? Any...

    Good Morning!

    I am very happy to hear that!!! 6 is a lower nic than what I Vape at. If that keeps you off of cigarettes, that is fantastic! If you get strong urges, and you feel like you need a cigarette, do not be afraid to bump your nic up to 9 or 12. Also, please let us know if this fixes your sore...

    Good Morning!

    Yes! Absolutely! You should change your coil! Also you should get a few spare coils. The factory coils can last anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks. Since you are just starting out. I recommend sticking with the 1.5 or 1.2 coils.

    Good Morning!

    Agreed! I recommend sticking with low wattage on the factory built coils. I had horrible luck with them at anything over 15watts.

    Good Morning!

    My guess is that the coil was burned, and that could definitely cause your sore throat and headache! I would still suggest a locally mixed juice.

    Good Morning!

    I disagree. I started with 18mg and am now at 12mg of nic on my subtank mini. I have not experienced any sore throat and using that combination, I have completely gotten off of cigarettes. In my opinion 12mg with the 1.5 coil and 14watts is perfect!

    Good Morning!

    That is a great question and I am glad that you asked! Priming a coil is basically wetting the coil with juice before you fire it to make sure that the coil is 100% saturated so that it doesn't burn the first time you fire it. This might be the most important thing to do! Here is a decent...

    Gift for my girl

    The initial investment in vaping was a bit of a turn off for me until I did the math and realized that I was spending around $40 per week smoking cigarettes. For 2 weeks worth of cigarettes I was able to buy a great setup, batteries, and some juice. Best of luck to you and your girl!

    Good Morning!

    The Subox Mini is a great starter kit. That is what I use and I love it. The starter kit comes with 3 atomizers - a rebuildable, a .5 and a 1.5. I suggest starting with the 1.5 and set your watts between 10-15. Please make sure to prime your coils before using them as a burned coil will cause...
