Hi Karen

You don't need to start 5 threads, you just need 5 posts. You can get those by continuing in one of your threads or participating in someone else's thread. Just introduce yourself, say hello, etc.

If you are looking for a setup here are some possible options for you to consider:

A variable v/w (twist/spinner) is usually recommended over a "non variable" v/w battery. It allows you to adjust your settings to get a better "vape". Some flavors taste better at higher voltages than 3.7v

1. JoyeTech Ego-C Twist
2. Vision Spinner
3. Innokin iTaste vv v3 (or the new vv v4 - 750mah or 1000mah)
4. Innokin iTaste MVP v2 (or even better an MVP 20 watt => Sale $29.99 until 1/16/15)
5. eLeaf iStick

The first 3 are fall into the "ego style" category of battery (with variable voltage). They range in size from 600mah to 1300mah. The higher the mah the longer the battery will last between charging.

The 4th & 5th ones are a step up from an "ego style" battery in that they are smaller variable v/w box mods with a very big battery (2400-2600mah). It will last many vapers a whole day before it needs recharging. The MVP is probably one of the most popular batteries for someone upgrading from an "ego style" battery. The iStick is also very popular.

I suggest buying only name brand Joyetech Twist or Vision Spinner ego batteries if you choose to go this route. BTW, "ego" is merely a type of battery, not a brand name. Buying "generic" ego batteries is always going to be hit or miss...mostly miss.

You will also need to purchase a tank (the juice attachment) and extra coils. The mini Nautillus, mini Aerotank or regular size Aerotank (all made of glass & all have adjustable airflow control) are very popular.

Why would you want a glass tank (you may be thinking to yourself)? Here is a great resource regarding "tank cracking" eliquid by ECF member Baditude: Something Safe for Cinnamon and Citrus Flavors

Thanks for the reminder. I was just thinking in this way will be better

Thank you! That's really very helpful.

BTW, why I need to buy the extra coils? What's the lifespan of a coil?

BTW, why I need to buy the extra coils? What's the lifespan of a coil?

Coils stop working, gunk up, etc. A coils lifespan depends on:

1. how much you vape
2. the PG/VG ratio of your juice (VG gunks up coils faster)
3. how dark colored your juice is
4. how sweet your juice is

In general dark colored bakery/complex flavors will gunk up a coil faster than light colored fruit/tobacco juice. A coil could last you anywhere from a week to 3 weeks depending on the above factors and the type of coil. Some coils can be soaked and dry burned to extend their life. Other coils can only be soaked. Many coils can be rebuilt (if you choose to do so). It's a fiddly process (when you first are learning to do it) but many choose to do so eventually.

Yeah, you are right. It's a fiddly process for a freshman like me. You are so professional, I would like to learn more from you.
Thanks for the help, I'll google it first.
