what you have is the standard starter kit sold everywhere, they are good for "testing the waters" of vaping. They dont have a good reputation for longevity, maybe the battery will last a few months, the tank will last several weeks but the coil will last only a few days. Vapor production is ehhhhh...
I had a couple of them when I started vaping and went to better hardware due to the lack of battery life and vapor flavor...
give it a shot for a while, learn what you like/want out of vaping and do some research on upgrades...
My recommendation for an upgrade would be to get some Evod tanks. Decent vapes from an ego battery with the Evod tanks. The T3's are decent too. Much better than the CE4.
And I have been using the same style of battery from cheapo starter kits for 6 months so far and only one quit, the rest are going fine. Mine are only 650ma though.

This is where I got my starter kits cheapo but work well. Now if you want to blow clouds you will need a much bigger and more expensive setup. But these work fine for me.

'Mod" is another vape term for the "battery" or "iStick" The iStick is a "mod". Should you have any questions about terms or vape, there is a keyword activated search box in the upper right above your name and avatar which I use daily.

The 20W is not a good buy at the price you found on Amazon. You want a 30W minimum just in case you have desired growth later. The 30W corrected some issues found in the 20W after it hit the market. The 30W is one of the most recommended "mods" or "battery's" in the forum.

It is as simple as buying the iStick 30 or 50 and the Nautilus tank. They are about as easy to use as any product in vape I have seen, very user friendly. The only other item you may want to purchase is a pack of spare coils. Coils should last anywhere from 10 days to 2 weeks under normal use.

I will see if djsvapour will come and help out as this one from amazon I will leave as the description says 2200mah and the pic says it's 20W so I guess it's either the mini or a fake.

Also what is the mod as I thought it was as simple as buying the Nautilus tank and the iStick then adding the e liquid

I understand now. So I can just get the istick and the tank and get on with it for a few months.

And don't worry I will go for the 50w either way as it saves getting a 30 then deciding to go for a 50w at a later date

Thankyou for all your help :)

I checked out one product on Amazon. It's a 20w iStick and mini Nautilus that seems to come in 2 colours for £46.99.

It's a £17.99 tank when purchased as the "kit".... kit = in box with extra coil and beauty ring.
That makes the iStick £29. For that money, I would go straight to the 30w version of the iStick which is £32.99. £3 for far less hassle and a better iStick. :)
