Howdy!

Hello all! Just wanted to introduce myself. Im 26 currently living in Anchorage Alaska but originally from Kentucky. I'm the momma to one little boy. He's 5.

I'm fairly new to vaping... Only a couple months in but seems like I've read enough to be an expert at this point. Lol

I currently know a few things I definitely like and don't. I'm working with two mods and one more on the way. I've got an istick20w that was given to me by a friend, an istick50w, and an MVP 3.0 Pro on the way.

I use my 20w for my dessert flavors. I like Cyber Liquids "Vader" and "Clouds of Cream" and I also like "Great Wall" by a brand called River Reserve. They are all very similar in taste.

I use my 50w for my menthol. Ecstatic Vapes "Freeze Forgive Me". I was a Marlboro Menthols Smoker and went through a bunch of Menthols until I found one I really liked enough to replace the habit.

I know my tank preference at this point is the Aspire Nautilus Mini. I have a Kanger Sub tank Plus but that thing just makes me cough so hard no matter what liquid or wattage I vape so for now it's collecting dust.

I've got the MVP on the way since reading about a lot of issues with the istick50w catching fire/exploding/auto firing like woah!

Excited to see how it compares and how I like it.

I guess I just wanted to share my vapor experience so far and see if there are any others with similar interests/setups etc... so hi!

Hello & Welcome @SunflowerMama!

If your eliquid contains nicotine, you need to reduce it by at least 50% as compared to what you are using in the Nautilus. This holds true for all subΩ clearomizers/RDA's/RTA's.

Hi welcome to the forum. The MVP is a good device.

Started with a Nautilus in past as well - and it's sitting somewhere in my cupboards right now (at least I guess). Welcome!

Hi @SunflowerMama and welcome to ECF!

You'll like the MPV - it's highly thought of here. I have an iStick 50W, and haven't had any problems with it, but definitely sympathize with you on the concerns. It seems to be hit or miss on whether you get a good one or not. I hear that they have taken steps to correct some of the issues, but the biggest concern I have with them is getting juice leaks into the battery portion. That could be the root cause of all the problems.

Anyway, wanted to welcome you to the forum.

Happy Vaping!

Greetings what susan said about the nicotine strength in subtanks is very true. I use 3 mg in mine, I was using 6mg in other tanks. What coils are you using in the subtank though? They make .5 and 1.2 ohm coils for that. 1.2 can be used with less airflow at lower wattage and slightly higher nic, .5 coils needd airflow open and low nic running from 15 to 25 watts. Difference between mouth to lung hits and deeply inhaled lung hits.

Hi and welcome to the board. I think you will be very pleased with your MVP; it's solid gear from a good manufacturer. Regarding the iStick 50, it seems to me their problem is/was quality control rather than anything wrong with the design. Most of 'em work just fine. Others, not so much. No matter, now you've ordered the MVP. I suspect it'll quickly become your go-to machine.

Hi Sunflowermama. When you vape, do you do mouth to lung inhales or direct to lung? I was the same way when I was using Nautilus Minis and got my first Subtank Mini. Hated the Subtank and put it aside. About a month later, after I taught myself how to do lung hits, I picked up the Subtank Mini again and the difference was night and day. Now I exclusively use subohm tanks with the Subtank Mini, Atlantis 1 and 2's, and I have the Triton and Freemax Starre Pro on preorder. Now it is my Nautilus Minis collecting dust. I also reduced my nicotine quite a bit when I switched to subohm tanks. On the Nautilus Minis, I was vaping 15-18 mg and when I started subohming, I dropped down to 6 mg.
