hi!

 

[daviedog]

MTL ot DL?
Sub ohm or Hi-resistance?
Nicotine concentration?

Not enough info.

Contact vendors to see if they post to Turkey..

Hello & welcome DLR
Another expat. If you can receive stuff from China into Turkey then you have access to pretty much anything and everything you may want ordered over the net. I've lived and worked in Asia, Africa, and now South America and have always been able to get stuff imported by way of the mails though I usually buy from the US.

Appreciate the swift replies guys !!

itatoke - hi

mouth to lung or direct lung - im not sure because i have only had an eco-t lol - if pushed I guess I will currently opt for mtl.

Regards ohmic values - again not sure - currently I would estimate, high.

Nicotine levels are not important as I am currently using 6mg nicotine blended with some fruity numbers
Whilst I am sure the nicotine does help - I think it is the actual "smoking" of the e-cig that has helped me psychologically to kick the habit.
Big clouds are impressive but not as important as decent battery life and convenience.
I am a DIYer and like to tinker but do not want a full time job maintaining and upgrading my e-cig.
I like the idea of making my own coils so they last longer (is this a fair assumption?)

Smoke-Too-Much
I tried several of this sites suppliers but to date they only deliver within usa.
Also I am not sure how strict the checking of the air mail is in Turkey regards importation of products from overseas (its not just taxes - they are currently banned in Turkey - but im hoping the x-ray machine scanning just one or two e-cigs may be over-looked lol)

Ultimately guys I just want something which looks and smokes better than an ego-t and which also has decent battery life, and a direct connection to usb option if possible.
(If I search on internet/you tube every man and his dog promotes every vaping machine as a must have - hence my joining this forum).

Appreciate your patience and continued thoughts

Pro tank 2,, an oldie but a goodie.
Kayfun lite 2,, another ghost from the past.

Both the above are rebuildable & work very well at mid resistance. A low wattage istick would work with the above & not be much bulkier than what you are accustomed to.

May try Asia, fastech etc.
Where there is a will, theres a way.
Good luck..

Welcome and glad you joined.

Daviedog - your a star !! - they both look like they are nice pieces of kit and I like the "engineered" look of the Kayfun.
This is exactly the feedback I was after from a seasoned vaporer.

Brother Bob - i have had a couple of parcels from the UK before (albeit it took 3 weeks) so it may be best starting point I guess?
Many/Most suppliers on Amazon do not post to Turkey and Ebay is very limited but as daviedog said - where there's a will there's a way lol

Thanks again guys, if anyone else has advice regards my next vape machine - please let me know

The Tron tank & others (Joyetech) have rebuildable options with the CLR coils in a similar but slightly easier way to the Protank/Evod coils. I'm running one at 18.8 watts, which is a good deal more powerful than the PT coils re-built.

First I used up the bundled coils (not great and the TC coils were atrocious).
Then I dry-burned and re-wicked the horizontal CLR coils (better than factory)..
and then made new coils and fitted them in the same process as Protank/Evod, which I was doing in 2013... and these are now really good.

Hi Guys - quick update...

I did some homework and found some positive feedback regards DHGate (regards success/delivering to Turkey)

So after further homework, feedback, I've ordered the following;

Original Wismec RX 2/3 (3 batteries for me and two for the GF)
Original Vaporesso Gemini RTA Tank
30ft x 24 - 26 - 28 gauge SS 316l wire
Japanese Organic Cotton
Little tool kit with coil maker
A few 510 heatsinks in case the spring loaded RX 510 pin ain't flexible enough to accept the Gemini - I thought I could maybe "tweak" the heatsink as necessary to ensure a good connection (though I believe the latest tanks maybe a little shorter on the thread/more normal in length?)

The Tank, toolkit and heat sinks have already been delivered but waiting on the rest of the stuff to arrive.

So Questions...
A) I have watched several videos on youtube but If anyone has any "hands on" idiot proof instructions on how to set up the RX for the first time with temperature mode.
I have it in my head, select the TC SS mode, build the 2 x 26 gauge 316l coils (half a dozen wraps initially to .4 - .6 ohms) then add the tank so the RX which will lock the coil resistance, then set temp to 400V and the wattage should adjust accordingly? is this correct?

B) I should have ordered a Coli Master 510 so I can heat up the coils prior to using (but I didnt and its Chinese New Year celebrations now - so I can forget that idea for next 10 days).
Is it possible I make one? utilising one of the 510 heatsinks and a suitable 5V DC power supply?

Many thanks
