Hey everybody!
Just wanted to become apart of this amazing community. A little bit about me: I'm a 22 year old college student from Washington State and as of today am on my 2 week anniversary of quitting cigs. I honestly never thought of this being possible, I've been a 1-2 pack-a-day smoker, consistently, for about the last 5 years (which I know for many others isn't a long time, but far to long for me). My family history is full of smokers, most of them dying of cancer/smoking related illnesses and I knew I needed to quit ASAP, and wow am I amazed with vaping so far. I have tried in the past, patches/gum never worked and the only e-cigs I ever tried were disposables and I hated them. About a month ago I started talking with some friends and classmates that vaped, so I researched basically everyday and gave it a shot. Not a SINGLE craving or cig since 6 PM, February 6th! I'm so amazing, I picked up the nautilus Mini Premium Kit at my local B&M and it's worked great.
Now... I've sprung a bit and just purchased the following set-up (as a reward to myself for quitting, and as I thoroughly enjoy all electrical components that go into vaping): A Subtank Mini (with 5 heads), a Sigelei 100W Plus, 2 Efest 30A IMR 18650 battery's, a plethora of e-juice as well as some misc accessories for rebuilding including some 26 AWG Kenthal, which I can use for practicing on my subtank RBA portion, organic cotton etc. I am currently enrolled in school for Electrical Technology, so I am very aware of Ohm's Law (I have every formula memorized), I also have my own Fluke meters (high-end), but I'm just curious about some tips/pointers for getting into rebuildable's from other people's perspective as well as battery's.
I just had a few questions about my set-up:
1) I purchased my Battery's from Amazon, and have been reading a ton about fakes and everything, what should I do about it when they get here if they are and will it harm any part of my set-up if they are?
2) What is your personal perspective of my set-up? (Until I get more into RBA's more)
3) What would be a good "beginner's" RBA (I used that word loosely)? I've been looking at getting either a Dark Horse v2 or Mutation X v3
4) What are some personal tips or tricks for a set-up like mine, or in general? Any advice is welcomed and appreciated!
Thanks to all community members, I've been lurking for some time and have learned a lot from different guides and tutorials on this site and can't wait to see where this journey takes me, and thank you for your replies!
Happy Vaping my friends! ~ Andrew
