Hey guys

Back in march i bought a starter kit that included some juice for free
I decided that i wasn't going to use the juice anymore so i went to throw it out (Tasted REALLY BAD) but i noticed it was REALLY cloudy
i decided to pour it out to look at it closer
It formed small balls in the bottom of the bottle,and it formed a really cloudy liquid on top of the juice but it still smelt just like it did when i boought it
I would upload a picture of it but to be 100% honest i would possibly get banned as it looked like something that shouldn't be on this forum
Is this what happens when juice goes bad?


Now to my next question
I recently bought a Kanger aerotank as suggested from a lot of people its a really great tank i instantly noticed the change from my CE5 to the Aero
But i REALLY hate the way my battery looks with it as its an ego style battery its alot smaller than the kanger and looks really disproportionate
So im in need of a bigger better battery and im not sure if i'm ready for a mechanical mod just yet even though they look SOOOOO good
Anyone have any decent recommendations? my max budget would be $75, preferably from an Australian store as its really expensive for US postage, but i can buy from a us store when i buy some juice next.

Thanks in advance
Also sorry for long post and horrible grammer

Regarding the juice, some flavorings are crystalline before being mixed in, some may have percolated out over time. I'd dump it, no sense in living dangerously....:)

A bigger battery is easier, the MVP-2 and Vamo V5 are two less expensive that are fairly well regarded. And this may help with a local supply....Australia/New Zealand Suppliers

Get a couple more posts under your belt and you can post in Australia - New Zealand Forum where you can get better advice on local vendors. For general questions (no shipping needed..:laugh:) you're always welcome anywhere....:toast:

p.s. Welcome to ECF!! Vape On...:vapor:

Hello and welcome! One more post and you can head on over to the Australian/New Zealand Supplier forum. How's the pricing/availability on the Australian Ebay site?

I think if it's the same in the USA, anything nicotine related is banned. Most of the e-juice has zero nic on e-bay.

Yeah i tipped it down the drain about 4 hours ago
Even if it was still fine i wouldn't vape that juice tasted like vomit, well at the end of the day it was only an extra 40 cents on top of my order for it lol
Get what i pay for


Yeah i like the look of the vamo V5 i have just had a dip around some AUS sites and on average its about $80-$90 and US sites are asking like $50
So i will buy from a US store
Thinking of getting it from mtbakervapor as i have heard good things from them.
Would you be able to suggest what batteries to use and charger as this will be the first time i adventure to the advanced side

Update:
I should have included this to the first post
I'm still very new to vaping


At the moment it will be cheaper to buy from the US as prices are fairly heavy from what i'm seeing here in AUS
Also looking at the Vamo V5 but i have zero knowledge of batteries and everything else that goes with it.

I found a VamoV5 on ​fastech which has free shipping worldwide but i will still need a charger and batteries
I have heard that Samsung batteries are really good


In regards to Australian regulations its fine to import 3 months worth of nicotine into aus and DIY juice but you can not legally sell juice that has nicotine within australia so i order 1 bottle from a new vender every week

If you can order from Mt Baker, they also carry batteries

$80-$90 on your local sites seems high. Can it be a difference in the dollars exchange rates, or possibility they are including a battery and charger?

Nah its not the exchange rates that affect it.
the price is just for the Vamo V5 no batteries or chargers included

Are those batteries a good brand? i'm not familiar with what is good and what is not.

There are no issues ordering from MBV, i bought some juice from them last week should get it in the next few days

The batteries are not the best, but very far from the worst. If you can get them in the same box, save a bit of shipping...:)

These are one of the highest regarded batteries, AW IMR 18650 2000mAh but the difference in a regulated mod would be minimal, these would likely have a longer life, but either should last a year or better.

Here's an idea that nobody's mentioned.... You could buy a mech mod, but put a kick in it. A kick is essentially a VW or VV electronics that you stick between your battery and the top cap of some mechanical mods. Essentially, you're turning a mech mod into a VV/VW mod.

As others have noted, you could buy from Fasttech. They say they ship worldwide for free, so you might check them out. Here's what I would recommend:
Vamo V5
Nitecore i2. This is the Euro plug version. Dunno if it would fit your plugs.
Sony 10A batteries Have no problems with a vamo, and The vamo cannot even go close to their 10a limit

Pro's: good mod which is well made. Good LCD, brushed stainless means no finish wearing off. Safe charger with a relatively safe battery.
cons: it's big, and nothing will fit flush. You can unscrew the topcap, but the gap will be transferred to beneath the topcap.

SECOND option:

Nemesis Clone
Variable Wattage Kick
Sony VTC4 batteries.
Same charger as above.

Pros: style of a mech mod, Can go mechanical easily, can go up to 15 watts, good build quality, Wide variety of options with this one
Cons: no display, harder to adjust the wattage.

Either would be good. Mix and match the batteries.. the VTC 4's are better overall, but a bit more. Just remember some mods can be "kickable", so you can have your VV/VW option with those good looks. :)

The only thing I dislike about the Vamo that Mt. Baker Vapor sells, is that there's a lot of copper. copper is a bit softer a metal than stainless, and it's chrome plated, so the finish will wear off. Also, you'll have to be vigilant about avoiding crossthreading, since it's easier to screw up the threads with copper. For the batteries, if you can afford the VTC5's that Mt. Baker Vapor sells, you'll be better off in the long run.
