Confused and dissapointed

[Pagan 1960]

i started vaping a month ago to cut down give up my smoking habit of 35 a day I am experiencing a number of problems and my local vaping shop is a hours drive .
I have purchased several blu pro kits but I have found the leek or are not very robust , 3 have broken when dropped . Currently on Liberty flight kits taste and slim kits , Taste some times gives me a hit sometimes not ? Slim seems better but battery and tank don't last long , I have had absolutely 0 advise on how to use either of theses in fact I returned one of the taste models as the battery wouldn't switch on .
It appeared I had over tightened it , nothing in the instructions .
What should be using ? Is there a knack to using these devices that you get satisfaction from every inhale ?
I'm using 3.6 nicotine tobacco flavor at the moment but not getting a constant hit .
Do I need to re think what I'm using as I'm getting fed up with the unreliability of what I have .all help and advice gratefully recieved

Cheap kits and cigarette style e-cigs are to vaping, what cheap single blade disposable razors are to shaving. Cheap, accessible and disposable, but unlikely to result in satisfaction.

A combination that many here advise is the Eleaf iStick 20 watt (the power) with an Aspire Nautilus Mini tank (the atomizer). Looks like this, costs about £40 for the pair. I guarantee you will get closer to the consistency and vape you are looking for. I'm sure there will be others along shortly with other suitable advise.

+1 on the Istick with Nautilus. It's a great kit.

Where do I buy one

As was said, moving away from the cheaper cig-a-likes (Blu, etc.) will get you more satisfaction. Here is a link to look at:

Endura T18 Starter Kit by Innokin

It is rather simple and there are a few others in its same category. This one gives you a set amount of power to heat the coil in the top tank part. The coils, you buy and put into the tank and then you add your juice. The top holds 2.5ml of juice. The juice(flavor) you put in is up to you. The level of nicotine in the juice is up to you. There are thousands of flavors out there. Most people buy them online since the cost is so much less.

When I switched, I didn't care to much about flavor because my taste buds were damaged from smoking. But, they heal. So nicotine is the primary thing. I just vaped as my body told me to. I took 3-5 draws and then set it aside. I learned that once every 45 minutes or so was good. My body told me.

Also, it is very good to get spares. And spares for the spares. If something goes wrong with the first set-up, I did not want to feel the need to smoke. My spare system stayed in the car so that when I was at work, I was still covered. The coils, get spares.

Take a look at it. Read about it. Ask others, we are here to help.

Good Luck!

Use your Google-Fu, if you search on the device name I'm sure you can find a good deal online.

ordered from Amazon how often do I replace the coils

 

[sonicbomb]

When they taste janky, you'll get the feel for it. Depending on the juice you use and how hard you push them temperature wise, about two weeks or there abouts?

It's not a country, it's a state of mind.

Someone mentioned to Google a name of a mod to read more. You can also go to the APV sub-forum and do a search for its name. Since so many pieces of hardware have been coming out, people have been creating a thread just for that item and everyone posts their experiences in that thread.

Doing both may be best, too.

I just switched 100% to vaping last week. I had issues with Cigalikes too, I just bought a box (Kangertech Nebox) and that gives me amazing throat feel. I never smoked cigarettes for the taste obviously lol and when i quite, nicotine really wasnt an issue. I was a pack a day smoker and started vaping on 3mg. My thing with smoking was always the throat feel and that sensation you get. There are alot of box's out there, some are alot, but some are great priced. Saw someone drop a link to an iStick further up. I had a 20w istick i puffed on about a year ago after a surgery. Couldnt be happier with a box that can pour vape down my throat though.. call me weird lol but i love it.

Blu's is big tobbaco.

If you want to really get into vaping, you need real vape gear and real ejuice.

I recommend istick 30 and Nautilus Mini for people who prefer MTL (Mouth To Lung) inhale.

If you like Lung hits I recommend Subtank mini starter kit.

Of course you can get The Subox mod with the Nautilus Mini too.

You can get a better deal buying vape gear online.

You can also buy ejuice online. Mt. Baker Vapor is a big company that sells ejuice.

Don't get ejuice on eBay. Some of it is fine but a lot of it comes out of China, and not a good career move.

from the UK you souldn't have issues ordering from the rest of europe, the netherlands, germany are great for base liquid supplies.
and there are some good shops mods/tanks in belgium and the netherlands. (have to be honest that i haven't searched for french sites as my french, hmm, is not so good )

I'm reminded of my first couple months.

Yes there is a bit of a knack to getting used to these devices; plus different devices have their own quirks.

If you are able to stay off the cigs while using cigalikes (example: disposable cigalikes) I'd suggest you start with that for a few weeks or months while you have a look at the various options for the longer term.

Otherwise might consider a nautilus with istick, or a subox kit.
