Hi all !
My name is Ananth and I am a noob vaper and I am a wannabe cancer-stick quitter and I want your help
I thought I would start off this post with a brief 1.5 month history of my vaping and where I am stuck at or need help. Just to reiterate - I reside in India - I guess this is important as your recommendations need to be obtainable as importing is out of the question
As a beginner, I started off with a starter kit and the Inizio 900 kit came recommended (from ivape.in, I am pretty sure this would not be a familiar device out here, its just a simple vape pen - very basic). I used this for awhile before the charger and the battery got stuck and in an attempt to fix it, all I managed was to total the device.
Next up - my friend had a spare joyetech eGo AIO kit (couple of years old I presume). In a day I realised that the coil was bust as I got dry hits even though the tank still had e juice in it. Thankfully there was a spare coil (0.6 that came with the kit) and I am currently using that. All my liquids are 30/70 PG/VG - not by choice, more by chance - they are what is easily available out here. After having used both the kits, I really like the joyetech - vapor production was awesome and flavour hit is ok too. I just feel more at home using this.
But the age of the device showed up and it was often gurgling, though I must add that the battery is fine. So I did the regular troubleshooting for gurgling and spitting and it was ok but I knew that this was a very temmporary solution. So in desperate need of a device lest I relapse, I got some help from some reddit people and I ended up buying the Cascade One Plus kit. Only after I purchased it did I realise the whole DTL thingie but now I have come to terms with it and the kit is fine (I think the battery is faulty as 3000 mAh should definitely last longer than it actuall is though that is a different story) - also it guzzles juice like mad but I guess that goes with the DTL tereritory.
So that is my current state of affairs. Now I need help in 3 areas
- I do not have a back up and I want one as the Joyetech is not reliable. What should it be? I am thinking more of a MTL so that I can save some juice and keep vaping
- Is my Vaporesso purchase good or should I have invested elsewhere? You can be honest!
- If there is anyone from India I would like some e liquid purchase suggestions. In my 1.5 months I have not found one to my liking. I am keeping at it just to quit
I did consider the Innokin T20s along with the Vaporesso, guess I settled on the powerful one. Given that I am very serious about kicking the habit, I am not averse to spending some more (I dont think returning the Vaporesso is an option, returning and getting something else in India is not that easy, afaik!) but I would like for you people to suggest the path that is going to keep the cigarettes away. I think it is worth spending a little extra if I can give them up for good.
Thanks, Ananth
PS : The vaping experience with Cascade is GREAT. I should have mentioned it but other than the juice disappearing at the speed of light, I am thoroughly enjoying it. I like large clouds (more psychological than anything !!) and flavour seems better. I just have one very possibly stupid question though - when I do the DTL vaping on the cascade, there is this flavour taste on my tongue (more like an after taste!) post exhale - is that just the water vapour taste or is the liquid actually leaking? I dont think it is the latter as I have experienced gurgling on the Joyetech but I wanted to ask out here just to make sure that I was not doing anything extremely wrong.... I am not able to explain it any better but I am pretty certain the device is not leaking!
