Thank you. I'm in Denmark and we don't have CVS or Wahlgreens. We have something like them though.
That does sound much better to be able to vape on the same coil for for 3 months.

Thank you. I'm in Denmark and we don't have CVS or Wahlgreens. We have something like them though.

If I was shopping, I'd like a Bronze iPower 80 (or the wood effect) and the Rose Gold SD DNA 75.
The bronze one looks good!
Vaping becomes a hobby and tinkering goes along with it and it's fun. Don't be intimidated by coil building. It really is as easy as wrapping a wire around a drill bit 6 or 7 times. Watch a few videos on youtube and you'll be saying, "hell, I can do that". Just start with simple single coils. Get a kayfun mini v3 clone for about $15, some wire and cotton for $5 and you'll never have to buy a coil again. And you'll be able to experiment and find out what ohms works best for you.

Exactly!
Vape the resistance that works right for you instead of vaping the way others want you to.
Ultra low sub ohming makes my DIY juice taste burned. Finding my preferred resistance .8-1 ohm did two things.
My ejuice tastes better.
Longer battery life.
smokes here in canada cost around 15 a pack...
we have our own car repair garage and sell tires via it... so depending on the season my hubby and myself can be there 5 to 6 days a week. we're both computer geeks(my last job was tech support for a major Canadian telecommunications company), and we build our own comps, transitioning into building my own coils came naturally. besides 4$ or more a coil when I like juices like cotton candy or double double coffee really adds up. it's rather fun to me, but like I said I'm a geek.

I love my Pico and will probably get more. Very good size and it prompted me to get an external battery charger and extra batteries, so I can vape all day and not worry about USB charging. There is a limitation on the size of tank it can take due to the battery cap, 22mm fits great, not sure if it will take any bigger than that.
I WOULD SUGGEST STARTING TO MAKE YOUR OWN JUICE. LOTS OF HELP HERE ON THIS FORUM, OR CONTACT VAPESHACK, THEY WILL TELL YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW, CONGRATS.Thanks everyone! I'm not too good at technical stuff so I dont think ill ever be rebuilding coils.
Why would my enthusiasm be tested? I see so much positive about being a vaper instead of being a smelly smoker lol
That would be a problem. Pretty silly of governments to illegalize vaping. Here in Denmark the ejuice is legal to buy, but illegal to sell, but many vendors sell it anyway, which I find to be a puzzling fact.
I think I will buy that iPower 80, it has a nice design too.
Looks like everyone else has you covered. Vaping is much cheaper than cigarettes overall, and can be even cheaper when you build your own coils and make your own juice. If you're first starting vaping, I'd recommend getting one with replaceable coils while you learn how to rebuild. For JUST getting off of cigarettes, I usually recommend an Aerotank (for ego type batteries) or a Nautilus , since they allow a similar Mouth to lung similar to your CE5. The difference, is the coil is at the bottom instead of the top and it has a glass instead of plastic tank. I started with the CE5's like you did, and oddly enough, that's where I started rebuilding. I would take some silica, and some 32 gauge kanthal and take the coil heads apart, rewick and recoil, and continue vaping. That's where I learned the absolute basics.
A rebuildable atomizer is better setup for rebuilding though, Stick with what works for you, but once you have a good setup going, try looking into a rebuildable atomizer for learning purposes. The Kayfun V5 (or clone) is a good starter, since it offers a tighter air flow. It's not recommended for subohms though, since sub ohming requires more airflow. Think of it as a rebuildable version of your CE5 or the Nautilus.
For subohming, there is a wider variety of tanks, and many of those are good choices for one reason or another. A good standard design, is the Kanger Subtank. Although not the best at anything, it is good at just about everything. it offers a 1.2 ohm coil as well as a .5 ohm coil, and a rebuildable deck as well. It's a good starter to learn about building, since you can buy a coil if your rebuilding doesn't go very well.
My personal favorite tank at the moment is a rebuildable called the Griffin. It's more for the heavy subohm vaping and has a very airy draw.
As far as systems, I don't even know where to begin.. so many good options.
The Releaux is a heavy mod taking three batteries. my RX200 has been a solid performer.
The Cuboid is my preferred two battery device. It being small for two batteries and easy menus makes it a good solid mod.
For single battery mods, I like the Guardian III E-pipe for the aesthetics. It's been performing solidly, but the plastic worries me.
I am currently looking at the Eleaf Aster as another single battery mod. It seems to push all my buttons as far as options go. I can't officially recommend it, since I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising.
It will easily take a 23 mm Tank like Orchid v2, Billow V2.
It will NOT accept a 24 mm Atty. I tried it with the dwadmodzV2 RDA. The 510 will start but after sxrewing it half way down the glass cap of the Deadmodz is flush against the battery cap and wont go any further.
But all 23 mm attys are fine

You can use the 1.5 ohm coil heads that is decent MTL vaping, and comes with an RBA that people can practice building on.
Then later upgrade to a real RTA.
Cool, thanks guys. I've bought a Pico today! How many watts do you recommend using on the 0,5 coil?
I also got some new juice with raspberry taste... Tasted very funny at first, but think I'm starting to like it.

Most coils have a recommended wattage on the side .
Use that as a guide but start at 50-60% of maximum wattage and work up till you find tge flavor and performance you like.
If you hit the coils too hard in tge beginning you may burn the wick and that is NASTY.
Dont forget to Prime the wick(s)
The Pico is a nice mod as well.. The .5 ohm Melo coils say they are recommended for 30-100 watts, so I would start at 30 and work up. Like what Two_bears said, be sure to prime the tank before use.
Save your old coils! One thing about the Melo, is the coils can be rebuilt and you can save some money. here's a tutorial on how to rebuild. This is similar to how I rebuilt mine. this is also how I rebuilt my CE5's.... except on a much smaller scale, and the coils were vertical.
I would start at about 15 to 20 watts probably 15 and take about five hits then go up from there taking about 5to 10 hits before changing watts.
Well, today (unlike many days...) I'm using a 0.4 coil at 22w.
I tend to stick around 15 watts normally and a 0.5ohm coil isn't necessarily the best choice for that. Depends on the design (airflow) of the coil.
I have some Kayfuns and find them OK but perhaps not my favorite. The airflow is a bit limited on the old versions (v.1 to v.3) and I don't like the new one that much as it happens. I quite like the cheap "Monster" clones mind you.
When I feel the need to vape stronger, I use a dripping atomizer (RDA) and can go between 30 and 50 watts. I like the 'Velocity' style for building but prefer the Sapor and Petri (clone) as the airflow design means less chance of spitting.
I've been gifted some RDAs over the year (nice people in the community) and don't enjoy these as much. For me, the Sapor is a great value original RDA just not for higher power....
(I could go on....zzz....)
Welcome and glad you joined.
Could try to simplify your vaping and stay away from intermediate and advanced vape setups, which can present many vaping problematic unknowns to the beginner. Recommend to read:
Learn About Vaping Here - Everything Ecigs - From Beginner To Advanced
My thoughts about sub-ohm and latest VV/VW devices...
Nothing wrong with sub-ohm'g if done right and in the hands of an experienced vaper.
Thanks for those informative links. I have changed my mind about rebuilding. I think ill try it eventually... Looking at RDA and RBA, RBA seems much better since you dont have to drip it with juice all the time.
Frequency of dripping is based some of these factors:
1. Heat desired, sub ohm or non sub ohm. Prefer clouds over flavor
2. Deep well RDA use or not used.
3. Length of vape time.
4. Ability to physically drip.
5. Content with the flavor you are vaping.
6. Maintenance factors of device (easily serviced and frequency of desired taste)
Might want to consider an RDTA.
re: Origen Genesis V2 Long Term Review • /r/Authentic_Vaping
Last beginner question I have: Should I rinse the coil head in water before changing juice flavor?
I know the tank should be rinsed in water to avoid ghost flavor of the previous juice.

Nah, 3-5 hits and the new flavor will kick in.
