A Greenhorn saying hi.

As my profile states still relatively new the vaping world. I am straight and to the point. If I review something it is because I feel something needs to be said about that product. vaping is definitely not an easy thing for me to get into. Many bad and good lessons learned by trying and failing epically. Now to finally be comfortable with trying an e-juice and knowing when the flavor is good And needs to be steeped or if the flavor is just not for me or salvageable. Lot of reading and "how to articles" to get my right setup and flavors to work for me now. Will I be upgrading in the future, yes but the setup I have now works for me. I have also finally found the flavors that I enjoy immensely and that is a huge factor in vaping imho.

Welcome to the forums.


Now, be VERY CAREFUL about mentioning upgrading around here. People here will have you spending enough on vaping gear to buy a car in no time.


We call it Shinyitis.

An affliction which causes you to buy the next shiny new thing you see. It can be fun, but very expensive. Beware.

Welcome to ECF skullblade. I was wondering if you got into vaping to get out of smoking or was it for some other reason? Just curious...

I am using the Eleaf mini stick with a Nautilus Mini. I will upgrade in the future but for now will stick with this setup. I do not being tied to the USB umbilical if I want to vape longer.

In the military smoking is something that is frowned upon. I got tired of military leaders telling me to stop it and doctors to tell me or ask me "Do you want to quit?" I also did it for personal reasons. I finally kicked the habit of chewing as well. That was harder let me tell you. I had to kick it twice and still have strong urges to got to a convenient store and start up again.

Welcome to the forum skullblade789 from another Nautilus Mini user. I use the search box found at the top right corner of every page daily. It is keyword activated and very helpful to me. Don't be shy, the experts in here have helped me a lot. Good luck in your journey.

I live near Twentynine Palms and occasionally do contract work at the MCAGCC. I haven't seen so much as a single cigarette .... on the ground during my visits to the base...I haven't seen anyone vaping either though.

 

[skullblade789]

Depends on the CO of the Military installation and the rules of smoking. Also they may have a good clean up crew there.

Welcome to ECF! I've been a long time lurker here and am just starting to get into posting here myself. Like everyone suggested, don't be afraid to ask questions. The e-cig community as a whole is generally a great one.

 

[skullblade789]

Thank you "Ultimate". I appreciate that.

Welcome aboard!

You have started with a LOVELY setup! I "rediscovered" my Nauti Mini after a few-month hiatus. I still have some of the "older" BVC coils, but I just got some of the newer OCC coils this week. I'll work through the last of the old ones before opening the newer ones. I just picked up a Kanger ST Mini as well. I have a couple of the ST Nanos, which are a good size for me. I rebuild, so I figured I'd take the jump and try out the ST Mini to see what it's like.

I succumbed to "shinyitus" However, I have plenty of rigs, plenty of tanks, and plenty of coils/rebuilding materials. Just need to whip up some new juice this weekend, and I'll be fatter, dumber, and happier than I already am!

 

[skullblade789]

Thank you daleron and Dinger. I do like it with the vaping flavor. It is a good start. I went from Blu cigs, to ego tanks and atomizers, and then to this setup a month ago. I have finally found vaping to be satisfactory. I am also trying all the Mountain Oak Vapor products. They have had the best flavors I have tried so far. I am trying to find a coffee flavor that tastes good. This is a rarity.

If you want to cut the cord (USB, that is), check out the iStick 30w or 50w. I have both the mini, (which is great for stealth Vaping) and the 30w. I enjoy the nat mini on both. A nice thing about the 30w (or 50w) is that you can crank up the naut mini a bit. Even going up to 12w (instead of the 10w that the iStick mini maxes out at) is a nice option.

A bonus is that the "backup" mini, which has been benched, is in your pocket, glovebox, desk drawer, etc charged and ready to vape a change up flavor as long as you pick up another naut mini and throw in a different flavor.
