Hi newbie here seeking advice

[Completely Average]

I like the N mini because because of the taste and vape quality. My brother vapes at 13w and gets almost a month from a coil head. I vape at 7-10w and get about a week out of a coil head (we use the same liquid so his results with the coils is a puzzle).

You're vaping at too low of a power and gunking up your coils because you aren't converting all of the liquid into vapor. Instead, you're converting some of the liquid into a syrup type goo that clogs up your wicks and gets burnt and nasty tasting. It also reduces the air flow so your draw will get tighter with time.

The Nautilus BVC coils really like to be run at high watts, especially with 50% of more PG juices. I run a 50/50 mix at 19 watts and my coils last me more than a month. Don't be afraid to crank up the wattage, but also select a larger air hole when you do. I do mouth to lung hits with mine set on the 2nd largest air hole and it works great.


And as for quitting the smokes, I spent several months vaping and smoking. I didn't stop smoking until I switched away from tobacco flavors entirely. Once I quit using tobacco flavors and switched to mints and menthol flavors I quite smoking within the week. Not because I dedicated myself to quitting smoking, but simply because I found that I preferred the flavor of vaping more. I walked around with a half pack of cigarettes for almost a month "just in case". Once in a while I would take one out, take a couple of puffs, and put the cigarette out because it just tasted nasty.

I just quit smoking analogs a couple days ago. I don't intend to go back though I still crave them. Usually the craving is because I have been busy and not hitting my vape or for a short while when my nicotine level was too low. I got no satisfaction from my previous device and realized that part of it was the low quality juice. I bought an iStick 50w and three tanks. I played with them until I found that the flavor and satisfaction i get from the sub ohm is much better than plus ohm. So my preference is the Aspire Atlantis. The sub ohm does make nicotine hit harder on my throat so i have mixed 24mg with 6mg. I suspect I am sitting at @18-20ish. I smoked three packs of Camel Crush Bold a day.

Vaping is different than smoking but it works. Without good equipment you wont succeed. I suggest going to a local shop. We have one here that has every flavor loaded and ready to try. The owner even lets you use his device to help you decide. If he can sit around at a vapor bar / lounge, that may help him. Not only can he ask questions but he can try devices and flavors and find one that will work for him. I didn't want to quit. But I did want to quit.

If he is a gamer, maybe if he can make up a game in his head... how long can i go, how much money have i saved, etc.
