Congrats on that! 150 days for me... Thankfully have about juices here to choose from...variety helps to keep me on track, although after vaping and having a few smokes a day for 2 days did it for me. Put down the pack and never looked back!!!
Help needed to buy the right e cigarette

Thanks I've just put the Onepoundeliquid in and yes I can still taste the vermilion slightly but this cheap juice is good, its called British Tobacco and I think I prefer it to the Vermillion KY4 as that was a bit sweet for me. To be honest I don't really care about all the different flavours, all I want is something to prevent me craving a smoke and if these pound ones do that then I'll be sticking with them.
Please do!
What tank(s) have you got?
A nautilus mini, my first tank and suggested to me on this forum as I had no idea what to buy. I quit smoking after buying a Vype pen (although I'd gone down to just two a day with a Nicolite for a few days before that) but I found it difficult to get a throat hit from the Vype and wanted something better.
Now I'm up and running with a decent vape it's tempting to keep vaping but I'm trying to keep it to a minimum tonight as the nicotine has caused insomnia the last five nights and I really need to sleep tonight. Even so this cheap e juice is doing the trick and keeping away the cravings.
Sorry Kaydi, I knew that already. (Brain mush tonight).
I really like the Nautilus and have been on them solely for a few days now as I like them for work.
Kaydi, I'm so sorry to hear your partner has deteriorated 
but glad to hear you are doing well with your new liquid & iStick.

Thanks Chrissie, turns out he's got a severe water infection from his catheter and could well be the reason he's been getting weaker the last three weeks. Not had his blood results yet but I'm hoping they're fine and with the antibiotics he should now start to improve.
I was getting on really well with my istick and tank but then I put some of the strawberry and cream juice in and it made me feel quite woozy. It was the first juice I bought and I guessed at the vg/pg mix and the strength as I had no idea. It's 70% pg 50% vg and 27mg and is obviously too strong! What is the mix and strength I should be going for as I still don't know?
Just got his blood results and his kidney count is very high! His kidneys failed during his op so they're very concerned but he refuses to go back in hospital! I spoke to the doctor when he phoned and asked if they can force him but he said no. Thank God I've got sorted with my tank and battery as this would have sent me back to the cigarettes!
27 mg is definitely too strong for the Nautilus Mini. When I started vaping with cigalikes and ego style starters, I vaped 24 mg. When I switched to the Nautilus Mini, I dropped down to 15 mg. When I started subohming, I dropped to 6 mg and now if I use the Nautilus Mini, I stick with 6 mg. The woozy feeling you are getting is your body telling you that you have taken too much nicotine. The next step would be the feeling of nausea.
I'm still feeling woozy but no nausea. How long does it take before it stops? All my other liquids are 18mg and I was fine on those. I emptied the 27mg juice out of the tank and put in the 18mg but I've not had chance to read up how to clean it out yet so when I last vaped I obviously still got some of the 27mg. I'm leaving it alone now and I'll check out about how to clean it before I use it again. If I buy some glycerine could I use it to water down the 27mg juice?
When I overdid the nicotine in the past, it only took anywhere from a few minutes to at most an hour to pass (the longer recovery time was when I overdid it to the point where I started feeling nauseous). If you overdo it to the point where you get a headache, that usually passes by the next day.
I tried to get the nautilus apart to clean it but I can't get the dome shaped top off the glass tank! The wooziness has worn off n I needed to vape after my dinner, at first I could hardly get any vapour but I changed the battery setting n it's now different as it won't go below 4.7 but it will go right up to 15.9. Before it went down to 1.0 but only up to 6.0. I don't understand what these settings mean or why it has now changed? I managed to get it to vape properly but I can tell it's still too strong as my head is fuzzy. Any ideas how I can get the dome top off so I can clean it out?
It's ok folks I got the dome off - God I feel stupid as I now can't get the coil out! But I cleaned it all as best I could and have put some weaker juice in it. I'll go check on YouTube n see if I can get a better understanding of it. Not that my brain is working properly but I need something to keep it occupied.
Kaydi. When you click the button 3 times, it switches from watts to volts.
If it went from 4.7 to 15.9, that will be watts.
If it went from 1.0 (?) to 6.0, that sounds like volts.
I would recommend finding the watts and starting on about 10w.
Thanks djsvapour I must have accidentally pressed it when I was trying to get it apart but I've now got it on 10w. But I really need to change the coil as I can tell by how it's affecting my head it's still too strong. I have very little strength in my hands though so can't get it out. I used cotton buds and cleaned it as best as I could so surely it shouldn't take long for that 27mg juice to stop having this affect on me?
The coil head should easily unscrew.
And you are right, if you fill it up with a lower nic e-liquid, the tiny amount of 27mg will very quickly be diluted.

Please can someone tell me what mix pg/vg I should choose as I want to order some lower strength juice. To be honest I'm not sure if my head feels as it does because of too much nicotine or because of the situation with my partner. His son said he'll end up needing the blues n twos again and I'm powerless to prevent it.
Should I go for about 12mg or would that be too low? I want to use the same place I used before as they've got some good deals with samplers but I have to choose both strength and mix but as yet I've no understanding about vg/pg?

A mix of 50/50 is a good compromise if you're not sure of what vg/pg ratio you prefer. Higher vg will results in larger clouds of vapor, higher pg will result in better flavor and greater throat hit. 12 mg will be a good strength for the Nautilus Mini. If you find you need higher, you can simply vape more. If you find you still need less, you can vape less or you can subsequently mix it with an even lower strength to lower the overall nicotine level.
Thanks jseah I'll go order some now with the 50/50 mix. The place I'm going to get it allows you to choose any strength from 0 up to 36mg so I'll choose some in the 12mg and maybe a 6mg so I've got a lower one to mix if need be. Thanks a lot that has really helped.
I ordered six 6ml sample bottles which unfortunately all had to be the same strength so I got the 12mg. I'll do another order later to get a lower strength or I may look elsewhere but I now realise I could do with having more than one tank. Please can anyone suggest which ones I should get? I've looked at a few, the Eleaf GS Air, the Kangatech Evod and then I found one that's really cheap on Amazon (under £2!) and the coils are cheap too, it's an Evod MT3 but I don't know if it will work with my istick? Or if it's any good?
PS. News on my partner is our GP rang saying he's got almost total renal failure and told him if he doesn't go into hospital they won't be able to save him and he finally agreed to go. Phew what a relief!

...I wouldn't spend £2 on an MT3, no.
All the other stuff going on for you and your partner hardly makes buying e-cig stuff relevant, so fingers crossed for you both. Hugs..
