Finally bought my new tornado!

[dt76]

Hey guys!

I've been a smoker for about 12 years, had some chest pain and was so worried I have lung cancer. The wait for my xray result was surreal and when the doctor told me I was clear, I almost shed some tears (manly ones of course)

After reading up some review, decided to go with TW's tornado, I think it's also called the ego right?

Hopefully I've made the right choice, did I??

I'm totally freakin new to this so if there's any advice or suggestion do fire em away!

Oh by the way, I'm from Singapore - any asians here? I bought my tornado from their UK site since I saw their power plug is similar to the ones I've used in my country, will there be any problems? As in using a plug of UK in Singapore, Malaysia etc.?

Cheers!
DT

I have the TW tornado... it is great... put a LR atty on it... and it will blow the back of your head off (not literally lol). The tornado and the Ego and the exact same device just branded different

 

[dt76]

hey menaice thanks for yer reply..

Not sure what LR atty is, i gonna do some reading and studies now

The power supply I got with my ego has input:100-240 V 50/60 Hz. Here in the US power is 120V 60 HZ. In UK 240 V 50 HZ. So would work either place with the right adaptor to make the plug in prongs line up. I lived in England for a few years and could find adaptors near a base were americans were. Now adays you can get them online. Not sure what Singapore electricty is.

Thanks petem for yer reply..

Well according to wiki

Singapore is G socket with 230 V 50 Hz

UK is G socket with 230 V (formerly 240 V) 50 Hz

I hope it's the same heheh..

Btw I know this question been ask tons of time but the prefill cart that i'll be getting in my starter kit, how many cigs does it equal to in terms of puff?

Also the indication when its time to change the cart means i'll start having burnt taste right?

I'll probably by a bottle of liquid and start dripping when im done with the carts I have, does 2-3 drips equals 1 cig session or something?

Cheers!

DT , congrats on getting the Tornado, you'll like it. There is so much to learn and all kinds of equip, juice, articles to read on ECF, etc. Enjoy it !!!

 

[Mitch40]

Actually I don't know what an LR atty is either...

 

[menaice]

I started with Carts... i only direct drip now. My setup Tornado with LR atty + Drip tip = best. I normally drop 3 to 4 drops on my atty, 4 drops doesn't flood it for me atleast. Thats about equal to 1 cig. I vape 24mg juice aswell. I go through about 3mls a day roughly. You will fly through your prefill carts in no time. I emptied 10 of them in a day and half. Glad i bought extra juice

menaice, does LR = Low Resistance?

 

[menaice]

Yes sir, i have tried a number of LR attys. The best ones by far have been the LR attys from EastMall. Its a china based company, i bought 10 of them. It took 6 days from placing my order to my door... not bad at all. Some are getting up to 2 months out of 1 LR atty from Eastmall. I have had other LR attys go out in 3 days from other companies, so far i am on week 2 with my first LR atty from EastMall

Good luck with your journey to becoming an ex-smoker! I, too, am on that path! There is SO much to learn on here!

 

[petem]

some use the LR atty becaue they run hotter to get more TH wamer vapor. I am happy with the standard atty for now.

 

[dt76]

Thanks everyone for the reply!

Is anyone from asia? Singapore, Malaysia etc? Maybe we can have like a vapers gathering or something lol..

 

[dt76]

oh btw, anyone know where I can source for eliquid in malaysia/singapore or other parts of Asia?

If I were to order and ship eliquid each time from further out countries like US, UK or CHINA its gonna be expensive =(

 

[redx]

Pretty sure from what I have seen though, that the LR atty's are best on tobacco's or coffee flavors. They burn too hot for the fruity flavors. Not completely sure on that, but once I had seen that I knew that it wasn't for me. I switch my flavorings a lot and don't want things that are too situational.

Yah I'm pretty sure the shipping would run upwards of 15$ from the US. Good luck in finding a supplier.

 

[dt76]

Cool..

By the way for the batteries, the best way to prolong is to always keep it charging right instead of letting it getting close to dead before recharging.

Will it be okay if I charge my battery each time after vaping or after 2-3 vape sessions?

Also when the light goes green, I need to unplug it immediately right or its alright if I leave it couple hours more in case im out or something..

Wow thought i was vaping too much going thru 10 a day also, im using the same set up as you are now but use blank cart because no matter how hard i try liq. seems to hit the drip tip and end up in my mouth.

As for your new tornado...more juice more juice more juice the amount that came with my kit didnt last at all ran out the day my juice shipment came in...was staring at the pack of smokes i stopped using the day i got my kit I still have them as a reminder of a bad choice in my life

I found this out in my area being bored and curious I Google mapped My address and e cigarette and wow....tried yours for the same, may help with shipping maybe not...= Singapore e cigarette

There is a good article on batteries in the Mods section. Do a search on "The ABCs of batteries".
If the battery is lithium ion, then you don't have to worry about charging/discharging regularly.

I got my flavors, PG & VG from Healthcabin (China). Not sure any issue to import e-juice as they contained nicotine. Some1 got his e-liquid end up at HSA but managed to got them back after explanation. Hope you received your PV soon and enjoy it.
