Many people have posted their positive opinions several times, is that a problem also? (irwink)
Sorry if I ruffled your feathers, perhaps you could use your tiny hands to smooth them out. (it's a joke, don't take it seriously)

Wow and you could not have started with better gear! Good Luck and I hope you look back on some of these early posts YEARS from now and we all laugh thinking how archaic the iStick and Sub Tank were
Thank you very much for the support. It's not going to be an easy ride but like all things in life, we have to fight our way through.
I'm eager to show my setup to my work colleagues as few of them are already vaping. They all use cig-a-like gear and some are still smoking. Obviously their devices are not good enough for them so I will be recommending them to purchase some better gear.
Does anyone know when will Aspire be releasing the new cotton coils for their tanks? I'd like to get the Nautilus mini too.
It might be easier than you think. I smoked for 57 years and in the last 13 months or so. I've smoked a little maybe three times and that was when a battery went dead or somthing like that. You should not have that problem with the 50 watt. Much success to you.
Since the flood gates of my recent buying spree began in September, I've retired a number of PVs---four mechanicals (two Nemesis clones and two Origin clones) whose fussy and unreliable firing buttons always aggravated me to no end, a bunch of Kicks whose time had definitely passed, a VAMO or two that had gone wonky, and a couple of 900-mAh eGo Twists. I've kept in service all my higher-capacity 1300/1600mAh Twist/Spinner clones, however, because those modest VVs are still ideally-suited to power Evod-style BCC clearos (mainly GS-H2s and H5s, but also some now-ancient Kanger T3s). With their heads rebuilt using 1.3-1.5 ohm spaced coils and cotton or rayon wicks, I find the vape quality provided by those humble clearos to be surprisingly tasty and enjoyable. No, they'll never be in same league as my bottom-fed RBAs (mainly YK1 Mini Cyclone clones and A6 Mini clones) nor my RBA Kayfun and Erlkonigin clone tanks, but I like the size and convenience of a Spinner armed with a simple EVOD-style clearo, and I actually enjoy rebuilding the heads.
I appreciate that not everyone "collects" vaping hardware as I do. Keeping only the best of one's vaping gear seems perfectly sensible to me. Why hang onto what we won't use? Lord knows I've already thrown out a ton of devices that broke, died, never lived up to the hype, or otherwise displeased me, and I have a growing "retirement community" of older gear in cabinet drawers just waiting to be given away, should the opportunity arise.
At this point, however, I still enjoy collecting. All my new acquisitions---state-of-the-art regulated, higher-wattage box mods and cutting-edge tanks---are welcome additions to my inventory of hardware, but the key word is "additions" (rather than "replacements"). For instance, I can't imagine ever not using or getting rid of my REOs. Sure, the day may come when I dramatically pare down or simplify my vaping gear. For now, though, I enjoy the menagerie of my Vaping Zoo. "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my."
I'm sure my iStick won't be the only device I'll purchase. It's crucial to have some backup in case anything happen to the mod. For now though I need to get some stronger nicotine. Most of my juices are 0.6 with few being 0.12. Especially for the first few weeks or so. When I'm hope and I can chain smoke that's ok. While at work though I need something stronger to keep me going.
Congratulations for being a smoke free after such a long time with the analogs. That's truly something to admire

I can relate with the higher nic need starting out, I had to chain vape 24mg to keep the monkey of my back at first with cartos & Clearomizers. (I left a 2.2 PAD habit behind) But hold onto those juices, when you get some RDAs and start dripping which you probably will if hang around this dang site long, you will be thankful for them, 3 & 6 is about all I can stand in high output atty without getting nic drunk!
Welcome to the sticker's world
Congratulations on making a good choice for your first rig and good luck. Cheers

I just looked at the battery level of the 50w...its still at the 3/4 level after two days....unreal.
I've started to experience weird thing. When I put my iStick down for half an hour, when I start vaping again it becomes unbearable for the first 10-15 hits.
I guess that would refer to the dry (burn) hit. I just cannot inhale it or else I start choking and it feels like a horror.
It only happens for the first maybe 15 hits. After that the taste comes alive and everything's good. I've checked to see if maybe the coil would be burnt but it doesn't look like it. Besides once burnt I'd be able to taste it with every drag, right?. That's not a case though.
I've replaced the coil with a new one. Primed it properly, had few drags off of it without pushing the button for the air bubbles to come out and all. Still the same.
When I'm vaping away every minute or so it's just fine. When I don't for a while it just tastes horrid.
Does anyone know what's happening? I'm using 1.2ohm coils in Kanger Sub Tank Mini with 0.6mg nicotine and 50/50 juice ratio. Tried one with 60/40 VG/PG and same thing happened.
I experience the same horrible taste regardless of the wattage setting. I can set it for 6 watts and the effect is same as when setup for 15.

Ecciggity just announced that they have the new cotton BVC coils in stock!
That is a great news indeed! Now the waiting time before I'll be able to buy them in the UK.
I'm interested to see how will people like it. It's great to see companies listening to their customers.
Edit: Looks like the coils are for Atlantis only. For now anyways.

So I got bored, decided to make my own wrap out of some fake suede material left over from upholstering my car doors

I wish I could say the same for my 30. I don't think I get the battery life that others report here.
With my 20 watt I sometimes made it a full day, sometimes not. With my 50, it looks like I am going to get close to two full days. I'm wondering if the amount of juice we go through might be a better way to compare. But, of course, that would vary from individual to individual too. The thing I like is that if I leave in the morning with a fully charged battery, I know I don't have to carry a spare with me. Might need to carry nine or eight bottles of juice with me though.
EDIT: What I wonder is, If I charge the 50 every night, no matter what the charge, will I lose battery capacity?
