[MatchHead]

Hi All,

Been vaping for a few years but need a place for good info. This looked like it!

And I am very basic in vaping though.

And cheap too. This is very important. I am on a limited budget and can't afford all the nifty tech they have now.

I'm open to any ideas on how to save money.

I currently make my own liquid and I'm working on a way to make batteries cheaper. But I'm open to ideas.

Hold on, swapping tanks.

Ahhh, that's better.

Welcome to ECF, MatchHead !

Thanks man!

Building your own coils is very cost effective. Inexpensive atomizers such as the Kanger Subtank (and subtank mini), as well as the Aspire Triton have RBA coils that allow you to buy prebuilt coils and / or using the RBA coil - build your own coil. Of the 2 (Triton and subtank), the Subtank pricing is better and includes the RBA, whereas the Triton RBA system has to be purchased separately. I also believe the Subtank RBA is much easier to build a coil than the Triton. Rip Trippers has a Youtube video for building coils on the Subtank mini RBA - check it out.
Depending on whether you are a MTL (mouth to lung) or DLH (direct lung hit) vaper I would recommend the Triton for MTL as the Air Flow Control is much user selected, whereas the Kanger subtank is more airy.

Direct lung sounds nasty.

I started with the Subtank Mini, which was incredibly airy for me as a MTL vaper. I then switched to the Nautilus, which is perfect for a MTL and later the Kayfun Lite+. I now vape by pulling the vapor directly into my lungs, which isn't something I would do as a cigarette smoker. But e-cigs don't have all of the additives that cigarettes have and it feels more natural to me - I also don't use the Nautilus any longer, as I find the air flow too restrictive.
As far as which is the right way to vape - that is personal preference. IMO, better to vape than use analogs.

 

[MatchHead]

I have to agree. Cigarettes are more nasty.

Hi and welcome. The best way I know to save money is quite buying cigs and start buying juice. The second best way I know to save money is quit buying juice and start making it As for gear, 50 bucks would put a person into quality gear that will last a while, you don't have to blow hundreds on a custom mod.

 

[MatchHead]

I like doing things myself but making coils is out of my reach I think.

 

[MatchHead]

So how do I get permission to post elsewhere?

Where were you when I was buying my gear ?

Right here, of course. Where were you?

Welcome MatchHead ! Love your name

Welcome matchhead! You're not alone in wanting to save money; that's exactly why I switched to rebuildables and DIY ejuice, plus I like my own version of QC better than the commercial guys' non-QC.

So how do I get permission to post elsewhere?

I believe that you need to make 5 posts to get access to other forums, and 20 posts to get access to the classifieds forum.

Don't you need to be verified to access classified?
I could be thinking of something else,
My mind wanders quite a bit!

 

[theddead]

Oh jeez. ... sorry!
Welcome matchhead!

 

[isreah]

Good point! Yes, you do need to be verified to access classifieds. One of the requirements to being verified is having 20 posts.

 

[theddead]

So.
I'm not completely senile yet?
Lol.
Thanks!
I haven't really checked into getting verified yet.
