Inexperienced vaper issues

[suprtrkr]

Ok, here's where I'm at in my browsing endeavors.....

I have been looking at the different boxes and, for price, I was thinking maybe I should get one of the fancier, higher wattage ones in case I decided to start experimenting more in the future or gain enough knowledge to start dabbling here and there sooner rather than later. Here is what I've found price wise, which (if the coupon works) would be even less expensive. I'll explain what I'm looking to do after the list: iStick 100W, 27.99; Reuleaux RX200, 39.95; Kanger KBox 120W, 33.99; and Mini Jedi 50W, 24.99. They're all close to the same price range enough that I could go any route really.

What I want is something that will work with the tanks I currently have until I find something better. Also, I'm not looking to "break the bank", so to speak. Don't need the super duper expensive stuff (saw a tank for 100.00 on one site. Really???) just want something nice that doesn't leak, that I can snag cheap coils for off vape sites or Ebay with no muss/no fuss and that uses coils that last a good while, prefer top fill as I like the convenience of refilling while still attached to the device, and probably a bottom coil replaceable (guy that showed off his Sigelei box with whatever tank was on it was able to take bottom off with juice in it, take out coil and show it to me, and put it back together) which seems nicer than the things I have where you have to take the whole thing out, unscrew the coil with the dangly wicks screw in the new one, etc. etc. Also don't like the metal "tube style" coils that run the length of the tank either.

I know, I know, I'm nitpicky. haha Just want something that's cheap and easy for coil replacement, lasts a good while on one coil, that I can just fill and go, fill and go, without breaking my bank account if I needed to replace the whole thing for some reason. Also a device that supports a nice range of tanks/coils.

Going to see what my new expert buds can give me to help with my decision here. I'm obsessive about researching until I feel comfortable taking a plunge at times.

Again, thanks to everybody helping me out here. Love the site.

If you want a higher powered box, I can heartily recommend any of the ones you have looked at. I recommend the RX200 without recommendation. I have two of them and am contemplating buying a third. They're just sweet machines and they will do anything at all currently doable, plus have upgradable firmware so they can do future things. One caveat: they are 3 battery mods and a he11uva lot bigger than a hammer in 18350 trim. Oddly enough, they are the smallest 3 battery mod I have ever seen and smaller than many 1 and 2 battery mods in height and width, but a bit thicker. They're not real pocket friendly. Beautifully ergonomic, though, they fit the hand well. I steered you to the one battery mods to get it as small as possible for you. That's why I like the Mini Book (same price range, too.) As to the $100 tank, oh yes. I told you there is better quality available than what I have suggested, and that it is priced accordingly. I wasn't kidding I repeat the Kanger Subtank/Toptank is a good one for you to look at. You won't get everything in the lower and middle parts of the market, but it won't be $100 either. Coils are easily available and-- I know, you're not interested-- it has an RBA deck too, just in case you ever decide to build them. (It's a lot cheaper). Here's a photo for size comparison, L-R Koopor Plus, Sigelei 150, Snow Wolf (all 2 battery), SX Mini, Smok Treebox (1 battery) and the RX 200 to the right (three battery).

Yeah, I was thinking about the size difference, but also have been getting a bit tired of switching out numerous batteries throughout the day (even though I'm used to it by now). Figured if I was throwing out the money, and they weren't too far from each other in price, it would be better to get something with multiple batteries for longevity. I know going from one battery to three will probably take an adjustment period, but it does appear to fit in the hand well like you confirmed, and would probably be fairly easy to get accustomed to.

I was thinking I could also go with a smaller one in the near future for further portability also. Maybe something to take along in case of a trip to something like the zoo or a concert. What are your thoughts about a good travel mod? I looked up that Sigelei, btw, and it does look like a nice little mod. I currently have the tab up for that as well. It's showing for 28.99. My line of thinking was that if I could get a mod with more capacity (even though I probably don't even need it or know what to do with it yet) it would be more versatile for the future. Let me know if that's a valid line of thought.

I think I might just go all out and get that RX200 since it does have plenty of features to keep things going smoothly for me. It may be clunkier initially, but when I get the more portable one I can keep this thing at the house, or use just around town. Also, what is the life span of these things even with the replaceable batteries? I mean, the circuitry and electronics will probably degrade over time, right? Maybe give out or become faulty? Idk, just paranoid I guess....

I don't have any idea of the lifespan of the circuitry in todays mods... but most are made like circuit boards in a pc so I would guess they would last years with proper usage. I would bet that 6 months down the road, after you have a couple mods you'll be shopping and find another one you want, it's called "shineyitis" and there is no real cure.

You'll love the RX 200 for the simple fact it's very ergonomic and you'll only have to swap out batteries once a day (and I've found it's easier to do than any of my 2 battery mods). When I got my RX I ordered 2 sets of 3 batteries -LG HG2;s (3000 mah) for a total mah of 9000 between swaps. I always have one set charged while another set is in use.

I recently got a single battery mod (won in a contest) and love it for stick a fresh battery in it and it's good to go for errands and such. The RX200 fits in my carpenter jeans side ruler pocket better than my 2 battery mods for all day trips, though most of my use is here at the desk. It's taken very little time to get used to it's size, the 2 battery mods feel "clunkier" to me.

You're on the right path. If you have a local vape shop close you could go and actually hold some of the units you are shopping for. In most cases they will be cheaper online (99%). It's best to shop and then come back to ECF to ask for unbiased opinions (we aren't trying to sell you a mod because it's just what they have in stock).

Good luck in your decisions.

My

I picked up a couple Mini Jedi 50w from Vapenw awhile back. For an inexpensive mod they are very decent. Small and lightweight, nice clicky buttons, easy to replace battery. The 25% off sale brings the price down to ~$20 each. Can't go wrong at that price.

 

[80's Guy]

Ok, one last question (for now). As far as portability coupled with price, I can get a really good deal on either the Mini Jedi 50W from KingCig, or an IJust Kit from ELeaf. The IJust didn't have much info about it, though, so figured I would get your opinions on the two options.

Edit: Had this written last night and thought it posted. It didn't. So here it is. lol

That's exactly where I'm looking at. They have a great deal on clearance items.

I was noticing most of their stuff had regular price slashed out with a cheaper price underneath, even when it wasn't in the clearance section and thought "Hey, maybe the discount will work with those things, too!" No such luck, but I did find two possibilities in there at a good discounted price.

Lol, that's what I do. You'll love the RX200. If you feed it with the LG HG2 batteries (@3000mAh) it will last all day and then some. Pair it with a pocket mod like the Mini Book or the Mini Jedi, you'll be set. There will be some adjustment time, I'm sure, just as you observe. Doubtless, you will be confused by all the settings at first, and so forth. It won't take long at all for you to get comfortable with it. And once you do, you will pretty much intuitively understand all of them. There are different "button codes" to press on different mods to make it do things, but they all do the same things and they are organized logically. Once you get comfortable with it, and realize you aren't going to break it by pushing the buttons in the wrong sequence, you'll start throwing away the instruction manuals. Order it up, no problem. If you can get the batteries at VapeNW with the mod, great. You can save shipping. If they're out of stock on the HG2s, order them from Orbtronic, Illumn or RTDVapor, all of whom are solid suppliers and will send you authentic batteries instead of clone rewraps. I've bought a dozen of them from Orb in the last month. The same battery (type) will serve you in the mini book, but not the same batteries. When you use a multi battery mod, you need to "marry" the batteries you use in them, always charging and discharging them at the same time. You said you had a Nitecore 4 bay charger, right? That will work just fine. What I do to keep my pairs-- for the RX, triples-- in order is buy a handful of battery wraps from Fat Daddy Vapes, set 'em up in triples, cut the wraps off of them (being sure to salvage the insulator donut for the + end) and wrap them in different colors. No way to get 'em mixed up them. It is OK to swap married pairs between mods, but all of the batteries must be charged and used together. If you buy a 2-battery mod, don't take 2 of your triples and use them in it. But if you get 2 RXs, you can use a triple in either mod, no problem. FWIW, For my travel mods, I use a Reo Grand SL/LP squonk mod and an SX Mini M for my "go to work" mods. Both one battery, one a mech and one regulated. I swap them out as the mood strikes or whatever. I carry a spare battery and a unicorn bottle of juice in my kit, but I work in my car so it's easy for me. Other people may need a different solution.

They also have the Kanger Subox Mini and Nano in the clearance area. Great price after the discount. I think the iJust is an unregulated mod like the Ego One. Probably works well but no watts or volts adjustment.

My opinion (Welcome, by the way ) is the iJust 2 is just too inflexible for most people.

I couldn't buy one tomorrow and vape on it. It is INSANE out of the box. I would call it one of the most straightforward/cheapest little e-cigs for a high power vaper who wants a plug and play BUT one of the most ridiculous e-cigs for the newbie or "established low/medium" vaper who wants some control over the vape or the battery output.

Well put. I can grab one and go. I have considered buying one as a beater mod, just the thing to take fishing and lose overboard, our out honky-tonking, get drunk, fall down on and break. But it'd choke a n00b to death on the first puff.

I know. The battery part of it (..um..the battery) has been in & out of my basket like an indecisive stealth hippo at the mud pool.
(I was going to use a more rude analogy)..

I think I might just put the matter to rest and buy one.

Ok, I don't want to flood the post with replies of thanks, so I will address everybody here. lol

I believe I will go with the Jedi. It seems like it's the natural progression for where I'm starting to venture.

I keep forgetting, but Sir2, hello from WV as well.

I'm sort of getting the gist of the mod thing. Basically, for how I vape, I wouldn't need a high W mod but it would be nice in terms of fiddling around a bit in other areas in the future should I decide to do so.

I'm also starting to realize there is a hell of a lot more to this than what I even thought I didn't know. Specifically the ohm/sub ohm thing and even the batteries.

As far as batteries go, I've been getting cheapy old TangsFire 18350s off of Ebay. I toss them in, fire it up, good to go. I hadn't even really given much thought to the ohms of my coils, winding up in ranges from about 1.4 to 2.0.

I'm starting to see, though, through some more independent reading, that the batteries will make a difference if getting into that sub ohm category (figuring sub ohming is better for cloud/flavor production). My basic take when I started (which has simply followed me since that's as far as I went with it) was that mAh = battery life, so the better number I got the longer the battery lasted. So I went from about 700 mAh when I first bought the thing, to 1000, up to 1200 and 1500 currently.

The concept of batteries was plain Jane to me until last night/this morning where I read a thread about sub ohming, mAh, amps, and the like. What I think I gathered was that there isn't too much of a big deal about figuring it all out until you got into super low sub ohms (guessing around 0.3 or so). Then you have to start figuring out mAh to amps to ohms to the knee bone connected to the leg bone.

I think I'll snag a Jedi for a quick fix to my Hammer situation, and then snag myself an RX 200 for a nice, larger device for messing around with. I do like the idea of the 3 battery thing for longer life.

Also, thank you to suprtrkr for the battery marrying thing. I was assuming that you could simply pair any group that you charged at the same time, not that you should keep the same ones together continuously (if you get what I mean). I guess it hasn't been an issue when a person only uses one battery at a time. haha

You're on the right track. Overloading batteries is dangerous, and must be avoided. However, any quality 20A CDR rated battery will do in either the Jedi or the RX, because a Jedi doesn't make enough watts to overload a 20A battery and an RX doesn't make enough watts to overload 3 of them. If you can't get HG2s-- there are occasional stock issues-- there are 2 other quality batteries with 3000mAh, and a handful with 2500. Sing out for a steer if you need one. On marrying batteries, why this must be done has to do with the way they age. Over time, and with use, batteries lose capacity. Their ampacity-- the ability to provide current without blowing up-- varies with capacity. Marrying the pairs means all the batteries in the group are the same age, with the same duty cycles, and are worn evenly. Therefore you avoid a condition where you have two 20 amp batteries, the new one actually capable of 22, and the old one only 17, and can avoid over stressing the old one, or getting uneven discharge.

www.liionWholesale.com has the LG HG2's in stock at 6.59. They are in Pennsylvania, so shipping is good for us, I've ordered from there with no issues.

Ok, so after further deliberation (yes, I've been at this for a couple days now, most of my time between posting here looking and evaluating prices since I'm on a budget) and I've come up with a couple scenarios.

First would be the Jedi and the IJust kit (simply because it comes with a better tank than what I'm using; it's clearance so I'd be getting a nice "beater" mod like you mentioned at almost the cost of a tank by itself) which would come to about 38 bucks with shipping.

Secondly, I could add an IStick 100W for only 27.99, bringing the total up to 67 bucks. I'd have a travel, a throw away, and a home box for a decent price, with a bigger tank to play around with. That way, when I get my tax return back, I could treat myself to the RX200 and have a nice, new family of mods.

Not sure if I should delve into it to the tune of 4 different mods at this point, but when you mentioned shinyitis or whatever it was, I think it bit me a little bit. I don't want to go crazy in the tank/coil dept., but this seems like a nice, well rounded group of toys. Of course I don't want to go into overkill if using my basic tanks and such is going to be a hindrance. If that's the case I'll start smaller and work my way up.

That will work too. If it were me, I'd probably scrap the Ijust and buy a Kanger Subtank instead. The tank that comes with the iJust is doubtless better than a Vivi Nova, but not all that great, frankly, and has no coils available except .3 and .5 ohms. That's subohm and deep subohm, and I think you won't like it much. You'll probably make friends with a .5 fairly quickly-- especially on a regulated mod where you can turn it down-- but a .3 you're going to have to work into, and you may never care to try. Having a regulated mod, i don't think you'll get much use out of the iJust battery. Even with your mech background, raw battery voltage is for hobbyists and tinkers; and pretty much useless unless you build coils, or just want a throwaway to avoid damage to better gear. Still worse, with that tank, there is no option to use +ohm coils and your current style. The iStick 100 is a decent piece of gear for what it is and should serve you well. Up to you, buy what you want. Just my opinion.

That will work too. If it were me, I'd probably scrap the Ijust and buy a Kanger Subtank instead. The tank that comes with the iJust is doubtless better than a Vivi Nova, but not all that great, frankly, and has no coils available except .3 and .5 ohms. That's subohm and deep subohm, and I think you won't like it much.

Good point, the IJust will probably just collect dust, and if I really had to have it I could go back to it. Thanks for helping me decide on that. You're right, I still have the Hammer, and if I get it cleaned up really well that could be a decent throw away in itself later on down the road.

No sense buying things I probably won't need and can't use my current stuff with it anyway. Thanks for keeping me from adding unnecessary items.
