Everyones very first setup

[OlderNDirt]

Hey OlderNDirt (Love the name BTW, funny) But I would throw the same question at you, what juices do you like in your Sub tanks and the like? I still vape "regular" ohm level tanks and dove into the sub ohm tank world and was curious what juices work? I have rebuilt a bunch of my older tanks at low ohm and noticed not all the juices I enjoy regularly don't work well in those set ups is why I ask?

I too have that problem. I had 2 favorite juices that are now relegated to the Aerotank mega where they still taste good, but they just didn't cut it on the Atlantis or ST. But I will give them another shot before giving up on them. I had been getting all my juice at a couple local B & M's, one of which does have a website for ordering, but that is the place I was getting the 2 I mentioned that came up a bit short. I recently expanded to MBV and so far am having pretty good luck with a couple. I really like their Banana Gone Nuts and just tried Bavarian Cream today and it has gone right to the top of my list for the sub ohm, and I have never been overly fond of a sweet juice. But then again, maybe my tastes are just changing.

Also, I am just now getting into trying adjusting with flavor shots and PG/VG ratio, so don't have much help in that area. I buy in small bottles until I get tuned in and then it's Katy bar the door!

I have been playing around with mixing my own flavors and the PG side tends to be a little harsh a hit for me, but too far to the VG side has seemed to stifle the flavor a bit so IDK. Kinda has to be balance I guess from what I am learning thus far.

I started with a generic ego/clearo that used Kanger single coil atomizers. A few months later I moved on to mechs and regulated mods. I just recently gave my starter kit to a good friend. I really hope he finds the same success that I have.

White Cloud's C3x or whatever it's called - 808 cigalikes
with pre-filled carts. They do make a good product, albeit
over priced. Vaped 54 mg carts for awhile (yikes), in xxx strength.
Their espresso is the bomb, and I still buy their flings sometimes in
espresso just to taste it again. Ah memory lane.

I just started 3 months ago and the guy at the store told me to go with an eleaf istick 20w with a nautilus mini. So far it's been good for me and I haven't smoked a cig since. I'm already thinking of upgrading but I don't know anything about vapes and don't have a clue on what I would upgrade to.

Go with the iStick 50W. It's fairly cheap, it has a 4400 MaH battery in it(I think 2x 2200?) and it works with sub ohm tanks, clearomizers, everything you could think of, including your nautilus mini. You're already used to using the iStick, so it wouldn't be a huge change. It can go all the way up to 50W, which on a sub Ohm setup you probably wouldn't even need to use, and the battery life is just insane! I have the 30W right now, and it was a HUGE mistake (They pushed it on me when the 50W was coming out the NEXT DAY!!!)

But anyways, the first setup I ever had besides trying random gas station e Cigarettes (you know the type), I got a Buck Naked battery with the attached Clearomizer. It came with it's own USB charger, the Buck Naked juices were pretty good, and it was all together an awesome vape. I bought that well over a year ago, and I still have it and it still works to this day. Only had to replace the Clearomizer once in that entire time. Now I run the 30W with an Aspire BDC Clearomizer, but have an Aspire Atlantis Sub Ohm in the mail on the way

After 30 years smoking I discovered cigalike disposables in 2013, and after trying a few out and establishing that they could work, I switched to vaping and looking for the most cost effective setup.

Thats most likely what I'm looking to do once I upgrade from my current set up. Why just sit on a bat or tank you never use when someone else might find the same success as we've found with them!

 

[TheGrimReaper]

I'm on my first. I have an innoken shine with a 5ml Nautilus aspire. It works great so far. I have banana in right now... Heaven

 

[ruet]

Started with a disposable from the gas station and ordered an 808 kit the same day. I didn't totally quit until I got a roughstack (mech) later that year. Went from pre-filled cartomizers to refillable cartos to CE3 clearomizers to carto-tanks to CE4 clearomizers, back to carto-tanks to EVODS/Protanks to Kayfuns to Subtanks.

What a trip!

 

[Serielle Vapist]

A blast from the past, lol...still have my first rig, the one that started it all.

 

[v1k1ng1001]

Volt starter kit from smokeless image in 2012, sorta like this one:



Didn't fully quit until I ordered a Vamo and protank almost year later but the Volt helped me cut down.

 

[X6X8]

Started with an X6 battery and a Kamry X8 carto tank. Went through Vivi Novas for awhile on the same X6 battery. After almost 2 years, I still use an X6 but now with a CE4+ when I'm out running around, but at home I use a SMPL Mod/Magma RDA. However, a Cloupor T5 will be added when it gets here in a few days. I hope I like it. I've heard good and bad about it. We'll see..

 

[UncleMike]

Started with a vision spinner II battery & tank. A little while later I upgraded to the MVP and vivi nova tank, a few T3S tanks, then a couple aspire nautilus minis (bvc) and now using a Cloupor Mini with kanger subtank mini. Still have all my old equipment and use them all occasionally. Mix my own juices now so haven't bought any from the local B&M for months.

 

[DingerCPA]

My very first setup was a Volcano Magma cigalike kit. Not successful. "Upgraded" to the Inferno. THEN I found ECF and really had success with Spinner II and EVOD tanks. Now I'm DIYing my own juice, rebuilding coils for my Kanger PT2s and Subtanks and rocking all that on iPV mini/mini 2 and iStick 50W. Happy, happy, joy, joy

 

[Kor 214I]

I started out with Halo Triton,(650mah) now I'm rocking a Provari 2.5,KFL+V2 at work, Shotgun (Emit Vapor) Mech with a Magma afterwork and out n bout.

 

[mechhunter]

Dovpro dt 50 with an Atlantis tank. This thing hits awesome

Just got a 4nine and marquis to try an rda on the weekends.

 

[Grimwald]

Started about 3 years ago on a cigalike (Volt from Smokeless Image). I used cigalikes and cartos for 7 months before I took the plunge and upgraded to one of those giant 650 mAh egos and a CE4.

Today I'm still pretty modest in my needs. At home I use a simple evic easy head with both 18650 and 18350 tubes. None of my devices have any VV or VW capability. Usually topped with a Kayfun lite or PT2. Out and about I still use an ego with and eVod or PT2 mini.

What a trip!

Oh man, I had almost forgot about those CE3 things. I think my mind had blocked those from my memory...but you had to bring them up. Boy were those a PIA. I bet I still have some down in the bottom of my vaping stash, along with those blunt syringes. I would have to get really desperate to dig those out again.

 

[Frenchfry1942]

I got a DID, but I got an MVP within a week. For this past Christmas, I splurged and had it professionally mounted on a wall plaque. That way, my descendants will know that Grandpa was a pretty sharp old geezer.

I first tried e-cigarettes this past summer. Bought a $30 set - an off-brand pen-shaped thing covered in bling - from a head shop. Bought another blingy pen the next day, because the battery on the first one sucked. Both developed a burnt taste by the next day. I had trouble with making them work, and gave up, thinking, I am just not technically proficient enough to make sense of this.

This time, I went into a proper vape shop and got a lot of help and instruction from knowledgeable staff. I have a Nautilus Aspire Mini and the blue iStick. It's much, much better! I'm not handy at all, but I'm hoping I can learn enough to keep this going, because it's a 10000% improvement on smoking cigarettes. I seriously can't believe it. I haven't vaped anywhere near as much as I've smoked. I can smell things already. It all looks pretty good!

The one thing is, I wish there were more standardized and mandatory information on the juices. Not knowing what's in there is a little scary to me. (I know I just stopped smoking arsenic and whatever else, but cigarettes were the exception, I like to know what I'm putting into my body.)
