Advice on new e-cig

[Romelee]

Hi all, me again

My partner as just started vaping and is using my old: Smart PCC starter kit - STARTER KITS - All Products and she don't like it much but likes my: The VE Riva 1100 Deluxe Kit £34.95 - Deluxe Vaping Kits - Riva 1100 Kit Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid

So i am thinking on giving her mine and get myself a new one, i have around £60-80 to spend (already have juice).

What would you buy for maximum Vape and Throat Hit? from this site: Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid .... it don't have to be that site it's just the only one i have used the most.

Looking forward to your replies.

Regards

Romelee

You could go for the Vamo - I treated myself to the Black Chrome one for Christmas -

EGO VV/VW 18650 MOD VAMO £39.95 - MODS & Advanced - Ego VV/VW VAMO Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid

You will need some batteries for it & a charger though.

As Chrissie said.

Definitely one of the mod vv mod kits with carto and tank. I have a Lavatube V4, similar device to Chrissies but without the various wattage.

That does look like some kinda beast.....what would go best with it: Cartomiser or Tank?

If cart what one would you choose?
If Tank what on would you choose?

Also bit confused with this description on that Vamo:

Using the Ego VV in Mini Mode requires an 18350 battery and for full size mode, an 18650 battery

We recommend the AW and eFest IMR batteries (link below) in combination with an XTAR Li-ion charger.

Looking at the: AW : AW IMR Batteries £7.99 - Vaping Spares - Batteries & Passthroughs Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid i see no 18350 or 18650 battery but the eFest does: Efest IMR Batteries £4.95 - Vaping Spares - Batteries & Passthroughs Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid ... Bit confused why they recommend the AW.

Also what charger would it need as there is three links on that page:
XTAR SP2 Charger £26.50 - Vaping Spares - Chargers Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid
XTAR WP2II Charger £14.99 - Vaping Spares - Chargers Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid
XTAR WP6II Charger £22.95 - Vaping Spares - Chargers Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid

And does the vamo need any adaptors?

Sorry for the Zillion questions i am a newb and just wanna get it right

p.s Just out of curiosity what would be the major differences over the one i am using at the moment.

Regards

Rome

I have a lavatube and a VAMO. Both are solid devices, however I'd recommend the VAMO as it has the added feature of vw as well as switch between full length and mini mode. I run viva nova 3.5ml tanks and STVs on them without the need of adapters. If you want to try a kanger t3 which is a good alternative you will need a 510 to ego adapter to avoid the skirt issue. I got the VAMO stainless steel, two 18650 Ernest batteries and a xstar charger for around £60 from vape escape when they were doing 20% off. Use code newyear for 12.5% discount this month. Add a couple of stv tanks and possibly another battery and you'll be good to go. If you're planning on using the mini mode you should get yourself a few 18350 batteries as well and check your charger can cope with both sizes. Saying all that I still use my LT almost daily as I have the mini one and its easier to grab that then mess about collapsing the VAMO as I'm running out of the door.

Romelee, it looks like they are out of stock of the AW 18350 & 18650 sizes. I bought the Efest 18650 2000 mAH (apparently the 3400 mAh efest are too tight a fit). The XTAR WP2II Charger is fine - far safer than the trustfire chargers.
I also got Vivi Nova STV to use with it, but you can use just about anything on the Vamo with out an adapter - including the cartomisers & vision ego that came with your Riva kit.

The major difference is that you can control either the voltage or wattage to for instance, get a hotter vape with more throat hit.

 

[Chrissie]

I should just add though that I dug out my old Riva today - I'd forgotten how blooming good it was. About 6 months ago I recommended the Riva to my next door neighbours & ended up ordering a couple of kits for them - they still love them & don't even want to try anything else.

Then today, my next door but one neighbours came to ask me about e-cigs - hence why I again dug out my old Riva for them to try. They are in their late 60's & had tried everything to give up/cut down smoking. Their faces just lit up (no pun intended) when they had a drag on the Riva & asked me to order a kit for them straight away.

Lol, so what I'm trying to say Romelee, is that I love my GGTS & also really like my Vamo - but IMHO, the Riva (or an ego) still rocks

 

[Romelee]

Yeah, i too am loving the Riva but i am also a bit of a gadget person and that Vamo looks gadgety

I think i will leave the tank and go for just Carts for now, i am looking at the Boge 510 but which one? Low Res or Standard Res?

My 24mg liquid is arriving today (fingers crossed) to replace my 18mg and if the throat with the 24mg hits the spot i won't need to upgrade anyway and i will just buy my partner a Riva like mine.

 

[liquidator]

I think i will leave the tank and go for just Carts for now

The tank keeps the cartomiser supplied with juice, meaning that you do not have to constantly keep topping up the cart.

I think you may find this a very useful addition.

Be aware that some cartomisers require a hole punch when used with a tank!

Went for this in the end:

Vamo: EGO VV/VW 18650 MOD VAMO £39.95 - MODS & Advanced - Ego VV/VW VAMO Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid
Tank: Vision Vivi Nova STV £10.95 - Vaping Spares - Tanks & Accessories Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid
Battery 18650 x 2: Efest IMR Batteries £4.95 - Vaping Spares - Batteries & Passthroughs Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid
Charger: XTAR WP2II Charger £14.99 - Vaping Spares - Chargers Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid



Now i can give my partner my old: The VE Riva 1100 Deluxe Kit £34.95 - Deluxe Vaping Kits - Riva 1100 Kit Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid

Only problem she is having since quitting smoking a few days ago is that she has:

Bad indigestion
Hot and Cold sweats
Vomiting
Sore throat

 

[perpetua]

Could be her body de-toxing and adjusting to vaping Romelee, there are also a number of
bugs doing the rounds . . . make sure she keeps well hydrated and if symptoms still persist
or worsen, a Doctor's appointment might not go amiss.

 

[terry w]

for the vamo i would definitely go for a 6ml dct and get some pre-punche standard resistance XL carts,watch some vids on you tube how to prime and fill it,and a full tank will last you about 2 days.Fill it and forget it.

 

[Romelee]

Thanks terry w for the tips but i think i will stick to what is coming at present as i don't wanna complicate things. perhaps i will look into it at a later date

 

[Romelee]

It arrived, battery made me suffer as it was not charged so had to just look and drool at the vamo for ages, fully charged and WOW i am loving it.

Nice vape and nice TH

Would like to hear what settings you Vamo owners have your's on.

 

[Dickyg]

Glad you are enjoying your VAMO. I use mine in Vw mode generally around 7w in No2 mode with viva nova tanks. Am tempted to get a dct aswell to see what all the fuss is about. Got a free replacement spring in the post today from vape escape to fix the overheating problem as well.

 

[Chrissie]

Romelee for starters, go into mode no2 & then check out the info on this AAEC-UK thread for further help -

ALL ABOUT E-CIGARETTES UK - Vamo owners settings?

 

[Romelee]

Thz Chrissie, at the moment i am in mode no2 @ 10 watts, seems just about right for most of the day and night but when i wake up 1st thing i knock it down too 6 watts or the TH will blow my throat up...haha

 

[Dave S]

Hi Chrissie, the Riva you refer to, is it the same kit that Romelee mentions ie., 'The VE Riva 1100 Deluxe Kit £34.95'. I am relatively new to vaping but now want to move up a notch from my starter kit to something better. Would you recommend the Riva or should I go for something else. Be grateful for your advice on this.

 

[Romelee]

Hi Dave,

Yes it was the: The VE Riva 1100 Deluxe Kit £34.95 - Deluxe Vaping Kits - Riva 1100 Kit Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid that she mentioned about her neighbor.
