Greetings fellow vapers. I'm Flapor, a 25 year old student from the Netherlands.
I started vaping back in 2009 and bought a ''Sedansa Diva'' for 120 euros including some cartridges. Used that for a couple of months and then got tired of it. I never was a heavy smoker though, on average I smoke about 4-5 cigs a day. Untill about a month or two ago when I stopped analogs cold turkey. It went well, I chose to smoke if I would drink and keep it under control like that and thats what I did.
However, it seems that I do miss the act of smoking when being productive. It's almost like a subconsious incentive to keep at it untill the ''reward'' gets received. I did find that in terms of being productive, my old ways were much more efficient. This got me researching e-cigs again and after reading through a couple of threads, watching dozens of reviews, I soon hope to say I found something I like.
About a week ago I purchased an Olympian Imist and I can't really say that I am happy... The drags seem dry and there is very little flavor. I know this might be due to the composition of the e-liquid but I have ordered 3 different ones from the same site;
1 100%PG RY4 16mg
2 50/50 Black Cherry 18mg
3 70%PG/30%VG Apricot 24mg
It's almost the same with the liquids, the cherry and apricot give a slight taste for a second, if dragged directly on tongue when inhaling but thats it. The RY4 tastes like metal.
Now I dont have anything to compare it to(the ''Sedansa Diva'' was sent back to be repaired) so I dont know if this above or below the norm. But I went ahead and did some more research and eventually bought a Vision Eternity and Vivi Nova 2.5. And now am wondering if it is a smart thing to connect those to the 510 battery of the Olympian Imist. Anyone care to advice me on this?
I also see a lot of talk about delicious e-liquids. Unfortunately in most cases the juices come from a US supplier, so another question would be if there are any EU e-liquid supplier favorites.
The last thing I have been trying to understand is the great price difference in some of the batteries. Are these differences justified by features or just looks and exclusivity? I know a lot of protection features are built in the cheaper version batteries aswell, for example: the difference between a Lavatube 4.0, Zmax v2, Provari and this; Our products - Titanide , I have seen the prices to be(same order)60€, 120€, 180€, 230€. I get more expensive manufacturing processes and more expensive materials but I wonder to what extent that makes up for the difference in pricing here.
