Cheap kit for flavor Aspire Premium Starter Kit vs Kanger Cupti

[Kamnet]

Alright so I know these are two majorly different things, but I am new and I have no experience in building. So I'm looking for kits. Anyway, even so..I want flavor.

Does any of these two give out good ejuice flavor? Which one is better? Does anyone else have any other recommendations?

(I'm also on a pretty tight budget right now and both of those are in my range)

If it were my choice, I would go with the Aspire.

Flavor?

Now, I detest Aspire, but surely there's no contest here. Aspire wins easy.

Cupti is the last kit on earth I would buy. (After a few Joyetech kits, of course.. )

Actually, the Aspire Premium kit (which is basic, old tech and massively overpriced unless you can buy it on an amazing deal) is not far off the bottom of the ladder either. It's saved by the tank of course.

There must be other choices?

The Aspire premium kit in the UK is too expensive, too old and extremely low tech. It shouldn't even be on sale i.m.o. There is nothing premium about it.

It's a $19 battery + a $18 tank + $9 coils and a $4 charger. That's $50

Well hey I'm new I don't really know what I'm talking about. You can recommend something better if you like, I'm all ears!
I have done extensive research but..so much that I'm kind of giving up. Sounds like you really need to build your own down to every last detail..every last little wire to make the best flavors come out. But if there is anything easy to put together or any better kits please tell me!

It's not always necessary to build you own kit. There are lots. OR you could consider getting a separate tank and mod.
Much depends on how you want to vape.
If you feel the mini Nautilus sounds suitable (why not? it IS good) then put it on an inexpensive 'mod' battery. There must be thousands of people using mini Nautilus on an Eleaf iStick or Innokin Coolfire or perhaps an independent battery mod like eVic mini VTC or Eleaf pico.
You'd have to do the math, but most people who buy kits like the Premium kit (which isn't premium at all, as I've already said) end up giving up on the battery and buying something with variable power.
Today, I've been using a Cubis tank on an iStick 40w. Sadly, it will be the last time (but I got well over 1 year whoo-hoo) as my iStick finally failed on the usb charging socket....
I like the eGo AIO but it can be too strong on the atomizer (0.6ohm) so some people have coils burn out prematurely.
The Innokin T22 is good if you like the tight mouth draw. It's also a lot weaker than eGo AIO.

For the Aspire Premium kit I have not experience with that battery but the Nautilus Mini I do and it was the first tank I ever owned. So pleased I have 3 and just ordered 15 coils for my stock. A quick search revealed prices that were not far about buying an iStick Kit with a TC40W MOD giving you advancement possibilities in the future.

I don't know much about the Cupti, but I quit smoking using the items in the Aspire Premium Kit. It's on sale for $35 right now at Mount Baker Vapor. See link below.

Aspire Premium Starter Kit

For $35, you get a battery, a Nautilus Mini tank, five coils, a wall adaptor for charging and a usb cord also for charging. It's a great kit. You can always branch out later, but this is a great starter kit. The tank will provide good flavor and a tight draw that simulates the draw of an analog cigarette.

Well how well does the istick perform? and + if I add the nautilus ?
..or the pico version + nautilus?

which one?

 

[aikanae1]

The pico requires your own battery and charger which could double your expenses, but it is easier to change batteries and will last longer. The istick has enough battery life to last a full day (2300 mah). Both of those have menu's and settings which depending on the person, can be overwhelming in the beginning.

Generally I would go for the simplest kit, single button like the aspire kit. My only reservation is the 1100mah battery might not last all day. The nautilus is known for good mtl flavor but you may need to refill that during the day. It depends on your style of vaping which is hard to predict until you start vaping. There isn't a simple yes or no.

You might also want to consider innokan's cool fire 4. I replaced most of my isticks with those and I've been very happy. They are reliable and should be in the same price range. Vapecrawler is a search engine useful for finding the lowest prices, but stick with USA dealers in the beginning.

aikanae1 Thanks, I appreciate the insight. I think I'm learning a bit more so that's always good. I've realized that maybe battery usage time doesn't mean that much to me since I'll just be vaping in "sessions" and enjoying the full experience of the flavor. With that being said, all I need to know now is if wattage is really important to flavor or not. I've heard it is (a bit) but I'm not sure how much I'll need. Do you know?

 

[SteveS45]

The Pico requires 1 battery but it does NOT require a charger as it has USB charging and with 1 cell there is not issue with balanced charging.

 

[SteveS45]

I started with an iStick TC40W and a Nautilus Mini which would last me all day and with Pass Thru charging I never ran out of battery power while being out all day. I still have my TC40W fully charged and ready to go when I need a stealth MOD.

Okay yeah. So I am actually going with that type of build, I'll be buying an istick with nautilus mini. I'm pretty sure the mods go up to 50w. Is 40w a good enough range for getting/looking for the best flavor? Or should I get the 50 just to be safe?

 

[SteveS45]

The Nautilus Mini is 12 Watts and lower I run mine in the 10 Watt range and get weeks out of coils. The TC40W will do Temperature Control but limited to 40 watts. It works and I have used it.

I would definitely suggest a vw device. It'll let you dial in the vape to your liking. With unregulated mods you might like the vape, but if you don't there's nothing you can do. Using vw really isn't difficult. Just start with a low wattage and increase until you're satisfied.

You'll probably only run the Nauti mini coils at 8-14W so power shouldn't be an issue. Just to confuse you some more, there is also a Triton mini, and new Nautilus 2 released. They use the same coils as the original Nauti mini but offer top fill, which for me is a better option than bottom fill tanks (personal preference).

 

[SteveS45]

@Eskie I have never run my Nautilus over 12.5W and I can't see good coil life over 11 watts. Personal experience and observations.

Be aware there is a new 0.7 ohm Nauti coil released along with the new Nauti 2. That one might need a few extra watts.

 

[aikanae1]

It's nice to be able to adjust your wattages to your flavors. It's like fine tuning. Most starting out don't really notice it too much since taste is dulled from smoking. I like the one button approach since I've seen too many new vapors fry their coils immediately playing around with settings. Then they are reluctant to change coils due to $. Then everything tastes bad. That's the value of a matched kit. But everyone is different.

I would assume you need more power for a .7Ω coil but even the Nautilus X which I also like very much they do say you can go up to like 25 watts (I think) but I never fired one over 15W since I learned better by accidentally hitting the raise wattage button when on the phone! I fired an N-X at 27 Watts one time and only one time!
