Hello from Estonia - Little intro + "rig" pictures

[TarmoV]

Hello, Vapers!

I'm from Estonia - been vaping for a while now. I'm quite the "needy" vaper - but it makes
it difficult for me to sub-ohm vape because of the cost of liquids in Estonia.
It's 10€ (postal included) for a 10ml bottle which is alot. And that's from a certified seller.

Anyways, I figured that this forum was awesome to share experiences and discuss about
vaping so I decided to join.

My "vaping rig" compared to many of yours is probably puny as hell... But I'm still gonna
post it here & you guys can tell me what you think about it. I find it really great, and perfect
for my current needs.

• Multifunctional OCIGA 1100MAH Battery
• Diameter: 19mm
  Lenght: 85mm
  Fill: 1100mAh
  VV: 3,0-4,8V
  VW: 4,5- 10W (Sub-ohm mode 50W)
  
• For my regular atomizer I use SPIRO AIRFLOW
• For my sub-ohm atomizer I use Atlantis (Ambassador II)
• Tank: 2ml
  Resistance: 0.5 ohm
  Airflow system
  BVC (bottom vertical coil)
  Diameter: 22mm

And here's a couple of pictures of my rig:

Welcome to the forum @TarmoV - if you've got a set up that works for you, that can only be good

Hi and welcome. Nothing wrong with that gear if it's working for you. And to reduce your juice cost, consider making it yourself.

Hi Tarmo,
I just turned 6 months analog free. I am at the time using a cual coil Billow RTA tank (usually at around 0.8 ohms, for some odd reason it now dropped to around 0.6 with identical, new premade coils, dunno why yet) and Cloupor Mini Plus battery. Very happy with this set-up. Also here in Norway e-liquid gets a bit expensive, since nico. liquid has to be imported, and with int'l shipping, it sure adds up. Usually I have got the price down some by ordering as much as I possibly can without getting hit by VAT/fees as it arrives (but often it just slipped through too, so I took the chance sometimes in ordering more). Anyway, I soon found out that it is so much easier to make my own. Buy Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerine (Glycerol, VG) - both pharmaceutical grade. I am sure you can get that locally, if not, get it e.g. from the UK (eBay). Then get some nicotine juice (mine is 72mg's, get it from either the UK or Denmark. Pink-mule is a great website), flavors and mix away. There are lots of advice to find online for that. It is not difficult to do it and get it right, just use the e-juice calculator at steam-engine.org to get the right amount of each ingredient (especially important when it comes to the strong nicotine). My juice does not have much nicotine now, around 0.8mg, which I love! Has been so easily to taper it down painlessly, since I mix myself.

Thank you all for your kind words!
I do make my own juice, but I only have really strong nicotine basis & menthol taste. And it's not really that good to smoke for a long time. I tried Ice Apple, it was great. I'll look online, try to find some PG and VG. Thanks.

Download steam engine, you can dilute your nico base with PG or VG. No use suffering, it's why we gave up cigarettes..

I'm afraid you didn't quite get my point. I'm not "suffering".

 

[daviedog]

That's an A OK..

It's good then! No misunderstandings.

*Waves* from the Grand Canyon State (Arizona). Hey, if it works for you, it...works.

I don't think I waved any further than to Estonia

Hehe, yeah, It is indeed far away from Arizona.

Welcome to the forum!

Your set up looks great and is much better than what I started with.

I'd love to visit Estonia and tour the piano factory (and the country, of course). I once owned a 190 for a short time before financial constraints forced me to sell it. Someday though.......................
