Surely myepack will be doing these.

Don't switch vendors for the cost, switch for the solidarity of fellow Vapers.

just checking...

Is this it?

iTaste VTR Steel

Thats the one! Do you use them often? I'm so new to this I haven't found a decent vendor. Were in this together!!!!

Cheers DJ!

If you're concerned about the VTR being a brick (and rightfully so), you could consider the iTaste SVD (also made by Innokin). It's a tube-style variable voltage/variable wattage device that probably uses the same circuitry as the VTR in a different form factor.

It's telescoping, so it will take anything from an small 18350 to an 18650. They come in a full-kit (which includes iClears and a different tube that's not really needed) or an "express kit", which is just the mod. They typically run around $50 USD.

This has been my all-day device for the past month or so now, and it works great. Battery life with a AW 18650 is about 8ish hours for me with a 1.7ohm coil.

fasttech has been mentioned... they do have some decent stuff, but shipping can take forever. And x2 on not using them for batteries... the Asian shippers are cracking down big time on shipping lithium batteries. Getting them locally is way less frustrating.

If you get a VTR, make sure you get a newer one with the non spinning 510 connection! The spinning ones have issues. Get ahold of customer service and ask, if you pulled the trigger already, get ahold of them and ask anyway! Read descriptions and reviews!


Sent from my bird in a moist little package :p

I will do is the spinning part where the i30 goes?

iTaste SVD Kit - Mods

This one I take it? Decisions decisions! like I said in an earlier post the choice is unbelievable. Im under the impression Innokin are a decent make? I like the design on the SVD also they make some smart products. I still have till friday to make my decision but it isn't getting any easier!

Thanks for all your help again guys!

Welcome to the ECF, and congrats on quitting smoking. Vaping...is the only aid to help my father finally quit smoking. It's definitely not a con, it's the only thing that I've found to work. As far as an upgrade, the ego twist's are a nice step up. The MVP2 is also a great device. I personally think either would be fine, and must have's in your arsenal. When it comes to tanks, I prefer cartotanks, specifically the IBtanked brand. If you prefer clearomizer's, the EVOD, iclear30, and Protanks work for me. I'd buy a few different types, find what you like and stock up. Good luck

Yes. I use them often. Up to 8 (or is it 9?) orders in the last 6 months. I was a bit skeptical at first (being there were less than 20 genuinely good/reliable vendors when I started) but I keep going back because they do 1) Kanger replacement heads 2) my boring everyday vape liquid (Dekang Triple 5) and 3) lots of smart Innokin/Kanger batteries/kits/clearomisers.

I used UKecigstore just the once and my "problems" weren't resolved for 7-8 weeks. I know people who have bought stuff, sent it back and never had anything back or even confirmation. There is a guy on a forum that sent back a £60 kit. £60 gone for good.
They are great until you have a problem, then they are the most complained about Vendor across 5 UK forums.
Also (although some people dispute this) I suspect they don't have a lot of the "posh" items in stock, so you order it, they order it and send it when they get it.

I am very impressed with myepack. I've probably spent more money at Vape Escape and some of my bigger buys were from ukecigcabin, but overall a big tick in all the boxes.

on the i30 coil replacements theres different ohms whats better or is it just preference. I take it lower the ohms more vaper is that correct?

Basically, yes. What battery/mod are you using (planning)?

I buy the iClear30 range in 2.1 ohms. I only use them on big VV/VW batteries.
I buy the iClear16 in 1.8 and use them on e-Gos.

The 1.5 would be awesome on a mechanical mod (mega vapour). It might be kind of good for mods in general... ??

I just started vaping with the halo triton. I'm kinda jumping between analogs and the triton cause I think I'm having a hard time with the psychological aspect. But since I really started last night and today I've only had 3 analogs. I'm already kinda in love with vaping, just need to get over the hump, and I can't wait to not smell like an ashtray

Hi Kanakala. Why not start a fresh thread? You'll get more people responding. You are most welcome here, but it's a UK thread about specific questions. :)

Keep it up mate! I haven't found a better way to quit the analogs than vaping. Keep an eye on this forum, you can see just from this thread how supportive everyone is on here. Before you know it that ashtray smell will be in the past!
