What's wrong?

Everything, seriously. It would take hours to explain.
..and you'd need to read 1,000s of posts on the topic.

You have to be very careful where you buy. Google is not your friend... it sends you to the shops that pay to be the top, not the best shops.

You need good prices and good customer service. Some shops have neither.

Thanks for the advice and apologies if I'm being tedious, it's just a lot of info to get your head around especially for someone who only vaped for the first time a week ago. All the different types of mods, then parts and batteries and the like.

I'm assuming the shop linked above is a good one to buy from?

Thank you, I like the look of the Sigelei 75w, if I purchase from there does it come with the tank, so then all I'd need to buy are the batteries and a charger (then obviously the liquid)?

It doesn't mention that it comes with the tank, it may be in the picture for picture purposes. It uses a single 18650 battery so you would need at minimum 2 , one for charging and one for using in the mod. I'd recommend either of/and ONLY these these batteries :

http://myepack.co.uk/batteries/samsung-inr-18650-25r-2500mah-20a.html
http://myepack.co.uk/batteries/sony-us-18650-vtc4-2100mah-battery.html
http://myepack.co.uk/batteries/sony-vtc5-2600mah-30a.html
and one of these chargers (I have the i2)

Cheers for your help, it is very much appreciated. If it doesn't come with the tank, what is the tank I need to buy? I will buy it anyway and just send it back if it does come with one.

http://www.kingzofvapour.com/collec...ducts/sigelei-75-watt-temperature-control-mod 39.99 <--found this on another link, don't know the company.

I would suggest either an Aspire Nautilus (1.6 or 1.8 vertical coils), or a Kanger Subtank Mini (.5 or 1.5 ohm plus a build deck if you want to make your own coils, which saves money in the long run). If you are a mouth to lung vape the Nautilus may be your best bet. If you're planning on making your own coils the the Subtank is the way to go. You can mouth to lung vape with the Subtank, but what I did with mine was get a cheap 510 drip tip (mouthpiece) and swap out the wide bore it comes with. Then I choke down on the air flow (use the middle of 3 settings). If you do decide on a Subtank you want to make certain you get the V2 version, it comes with VERTICAL .5 and 1.5 coils. The old style comes with .5 and 1.2 ohm OCC coils.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it does come with the tank. Maybe @djsvapour would know?

If it doesn't, then the mod on it's own can be bought for £10.00 less from here -

Nice one :)

How much is a reasonable price to pay for this?

The Aspire Nautilus Mini in the US runs around $24, the Kanger Subtank V2 around $30. You should also purchase extra coils for which ever tank you buy.

Cheers, about 15 pounds here then. I think I will go for the Aspire. Does this definitely fit the Sigelei mod, I'm guessing that the tanks will all have the same fittings and are compatible with many mods?

Would you be able to suggest what coils I need to buy?

Thanks again.

Both will fit the Sigelei. "Any" tank with a 510 connection will work. With the Nautilus you have the choice of the 1.6 or 1.8 ohm Vertical coils, and I've not noticed much of a difference between them. I seem to recall the Nautilus also has some temp control coils out but I haven't shopped for them. They would also be Ni (nickel) coils. However, if you just get the regular coils they will work with that mod in VV/VW mode. I've got a Sigelei and it's a really nice mod, well built.

Seems pretty simple then. From what I understand you need to buy new coils every few months or so?

It's a bit of a pain looking for all this stuff online, way too many retailers all basically selling the same thing. Quite hard to get your head round.

Will these work with it - http://www.amazon.co.uk/IdealVape-c...pwVdwhL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160,160_

Those are exactly the right ones for the Nautilus. They usually last from a week to two weeks, depending on juice and use. Sweeter, darker juice will gunk up a coil faster than a clear juice. When I got a gunked up Nautilus Coil I would throw it in a very small jar of vodka and let it soak. A couple times a day I would shake the jar. Often it would work to un gunk the coils and I would get more use out of them. You have to let them fully air dry first. Pure grain alcohol would work better but none is available here. I did not use rubbing alcohol due to the chemicals and didn't want to risk sickness or poisoning.

Thanks, you've been really helpful, just need to shop around for the best deals now.

And then buy liquid :D

It's not tedious at all @Samwise Gamgee

Look at it this way. The 'original' pioneers of vaping in the UK (people like Chrissie, especially) learned the hard way about what's good, what works, how products have moved forward. Those of us later to the party made our own mistakes. We try to help the best we can. I'm just sorry it all comes over a bit negative to new people.

I wasted too much money on rubbish products. Not having learned my £500+ lesson well enough, I then started trusting that all shops were fair, and honest and decent. Well, they are not. Some are purely in it for the money. They 'mess around' with the internet (fake reviews, you tube fabrications/commission selling), take your cash and then couldn't give two hoots what they send to you in the post. If it's rubbish, they ignore complaints. If you complain about them on the internet, you get threatened with legal action.

I have had 3 companies chase me for supposedly making up negative publicity about them. One even said I hadn't ever had an account with them, so comments about dreadful liquid and hardware were lies to discredit them. You can see why I'm peased off with some of these cowboys firms.

Some bloke (I shan't name him, but he and I know who he is) sits in his London flat making £40,000 a year through commission sales. He says products XYZ and great and then gets paid when people buy them. It is one of, if not the most, fake marketing businesses on the internet.
