Less Harsh Experience

[Just Me]

When you say harsh, does that mean you cough and choke when trying to inhale? If so, I did, too, at first. It took me about 2 weeks to be able to inhale a little. I would pull it into my mouth, swirl it around and blow it out. Kind of like...not smoking...so it was frustrating for a while. I never did inhale deeply with cigarettes, but just to put it in my mouth and blow it out sort of felt like nothing, not like smoking at all. I practiced for a while (using just a little draw and mixing it with air in my mouth) until I could do it like I used to, just a slight inhale into the top of my throat and then out.

Cigarettes contain bronchodilator chemicals, which help to open up throat passages and let the smoke go down smoothly (and help us get addicted!). eliquids don't have those, so it makes it a little more difficult. It just takes a while to get used to it. I was recommended to use 12mg at first, since I was a 2 PAD smoker for over 45 years, but I couldn't use 12 and had to go to 6 at first, with the technique I described above.

Sorry, I don't really know how to describe it, but you will learn in time and in your own way.

JC has a point. That seems just a little too advanced for a beginner. I'd say start with something like a Joyetech Ego AIO, or a Kanger Evod, or maybe even a Kanger esmart. Maybe an Ego Twister if he wants vv/vw. Then, once he's gotten used to one of those, the setup mentioned earlier would be a good option.

I'm thinking complete Evod kit (batteries, tanks, coils, charging cord & wall plug), or an Ego or Ego Twist (and the right charging cord & wall charger) with a Protank Mini 2 or 3, with coils that are simple to replace and don't cost a bunch, etc. Learning about the set-up parts and how to use & care for them, the different coil resistances & why we even have them, changing the coils & why & how often, charging batteries, etc.,..the basics first on something simple and less expensive.

As far as eliquids...learning what's in them and what each thing does, how each affects the vapor and throat hit, trying a variety of PG/VG ratios and nic mg, etc. Isn't that what we all did when we first started? Once we found our preferences then, that very often affected what more expensive tanks, or RBAs, etc. we've bought?

Then, if everything's OK in all aspects, he's learned a lot, and he likes vaping...move on to something more costly - with more choices of mods, tanks & coils, capabilities, higher watts, etc. You gotta learn to walk before you can run.

All the above is just MY opinions. I just tried to put myself in the OP's "brand newbie", excited, shoes as I read the posts. When I did...I felt lost & confused by what I didn't know as a newbie...compared to what we all know about vaping now.

 

[Frenchfry1942]

it would be helpful if you knew someone that vapes. Someone to sit and examine, point out things, etc. There are YouTube videos for all the hardware. How to fill, clean, just many guides and reviews.

Really, the bottom part is just a power source. There are other features, but other than setting the wattage up or down, that is really all that needs dealing with on day one.

The upper part is the heating element (coil) and juice tank. The Nautilus regular or mini takes a factory-made coil, so get about 5-10 extra. Watch YouTube.

Once you get your gear, let us know and we will help. Probably help you prime the coil, fill the tank, and set the watts.

Vaping is physically different and there are simple techniques to actually vaping. YouTube does have a lot, but ask away here.

If anyone mentions sub-ohm in the first month, avoid them. When you buy your coils, they should be between 1.5 and 2.0 ohms. They most likely will be anyway. The Nautilus is made for simple vaping.

Ask questions. We want you to get away from cigs.

Hope helps

Thanks guys I just did a little more research on a few things mentioned that I didn't understand and will try to paraphrase off the top of my head. Coils are part of the atomizer/cleaorizer found in the nautilus tank and is responsible for heating the ejuice to make the vape. There are four components of ejuice, namely, PG, VG, nicotine, and flavors. VG is much easier on the throat but thicker than PG, which is much more harsh/similar to cigarettes. VG works the vaporizer harder and will cause the coil to be replaced sooner and takes longer to heat up. For nicotine, I'm thinking of going with 3 mg at first since I'm smoking cigs which only have .4 mg of nicotine at preset, opposed to the 1.2 in the average cig. Sub-ohm is below 1 ohm resistance and will give a much tastier hit, but its more complicated to the point of making your own coils or using replaceable atomizers. Also, a typically 30 ml ejuice will last about 4 weeks and coils need to be replaced on average of about every two weeks, maybe sooner if a high VG ratio.

Right now, it is very important to me that the hits not so harsh on my lungs so I can make the switch. I tried for about a week, which might not be long enough, with vuse, and its just a no go. The tiniest hit physically hurts and I just about forced myself to keep trying it. Towards the end I was inhaling through a towel to pull hits... Thankfully, someone did come over my house and I was able to try a VW/VV or was it a TC, and I was able to adjust to a level where I could pull a deep hit with lots of vapor and I even felt a buzz, so I became interested in the VW/VV mods.

That said, I'm looking at lower voltage and wattage, possibly temperature to reduce the harshness of the hit. This is not something to build up to once I learn and gain more experience, but, seems necessary for me to even begin, so a prerequisite. That with a low nicotine content and using higer VG ratio ejuice, I think I should be set to make an initial purchase. I'm committed to quite smoking, so learning the ins and outs of the rather convoluted process is very much worth the time and effort. If I could handle the regular ecigs, I think it would be much easier. I'm also not too concerned about the cost of this, hopefully successful, experiment. I'm spending 7 dollars a day on a pack, and so far its seems to be about a week or two funds of cigs, which isn't so bad. I would spend a lot more than this and still fell its worth it. Nothing is more important than health, right

At this point, I'm not sure what to do about the nautilus atomizer since it might not handle a VG ratio of higher than 50%. I would like to safely use a higher ratio than this, so perhaps I need to consider a different one. Is the 20% difference significant? If so, I could use a recommendation on an atomizer that plays nicely at those ratio levels.

So far my shopping list includes:

A VV/VW mod
An Atomizer
Ejuice
Replacement coils (I think the Nautilus only ships with one?)

 

[Tjgoa]

Also, someone mentioned that the mini Nautilus would work from the same shop as the mod. Thanks. When I entered nautilus in search a whole bunch of stuff came up like replacement parts, glassometer, etc. I think it will be easier to buy from all one place, and maybe save on shipping. Is there any big differences between the two aside from it holding a less amount of liquid?

 

[Train2]

You are catching on quickly, and getting some good advice!!

I'll just add a couple thoughts:

1 - you CAN stop smoking with vaping. It might take a little experimenting to end up with the equipment and flavors that you love - but that search, for some of us, becomes a bit of an enjoyable hobby, too: trying out new stuff...

2 - you might get all set up, then think "i want more airflow". Or "I don't love these first few flavors". Or, "I want to try making my own coils and get a tank where I can do that".

In addition -

3 - what you like might CHANGE over time. A lot of people start with something like a Nautilus, but later, they want more vapor, and a "looser" draw - like breathing in vapor instead of sucking. It happens - that's fine - it just means you might end up getting another tank...then another...then another. Not necessary - but common.

Have fun and good luck!!

Just a few small points in this post. First, there's really no correlation about how much nicotine is in a cigarette and how much in vape juice. They're delivered differently and absorbed at different rates. It really goes more by how much you smoke. A half pack per day smoker might be fine at 6 or 12 mg, a pack or more smoker 18 to 24 mg. The only time I can see 3 mg being appropriate to stop smoking would be in a low ohm cloud blowing setup, which isn't real good to start out with. If you don't get enough nic to suppress the cravings it will be much more difficult to stop smoking.

You probably can use a 70 VG juice in a Nauti tank with Nauti coils. Just prime it well, and try to avoid chain vaping 10 draws in a row the coil will have trouble keeping up with. There are even some folks who would go higher, I'm not among them.

A VV/VW mod
An Atomizer
Ejuice
Replacement coils (I think the Nautilus only ships with one?)

I will try and answer some of the questions and do them in the order you wrote them.

As someone else mentioned, the Vuse is a totally different animal. Don't use it as a source for info. Stick to learning the basics of VW/VV Mods. TC is a little deeper and a way to fine tune. Many don't even use it. Whatever mod you buy will most likely have it, but don't be as concerned with it today.

Deep lung hits are why many use lower nic. Many just do simple mouth inhales and out the nose. A lung hit is not critical anyway. Nic and flavor are absorbed in the mouth and nose. Easy hit, taste it and let the nic get into your gums, then exhale through the nose and smell it. Nose hairs also trap the nic-infused vaper. A softer, less "lungish" hit will help you get used to vaping.

The Nautilus will handle a 50/50 juice no problem. It has good flavor, too, without a lot of work.

The thing about nic, for me, was that if it was a lower nic I just taped my rig to my mouth. A higher nic and I only took 3-5 draws an hour. In the evening in front of the TV, with my personal vaporizer in my hand, I vaped more because it was in my hand. Maybe a slightly lower nic. You just have to get your feel for YOUR needs.

As to harshness, it takes a week (?) for your mouth/lungs to get used to doing it. I may be harsh at first, but will probably settle.

Get 2-3 bottles of juice, take note of how often your body tells you to vape. A week down the road consider a spare system that is a step forward in your needs and make the first one a spare.

98% of atomizers/tanks connect to the mod with a "510" connection. Hard to get an atomizer that isn't supported by the mods.

Take a week and play/learn. It doesn't take a lot of shiney gear to quit cigs.

Good luck!

 

[Hawise]

You've evidently done a lot of good research, but I'll try to help clarify a few things.

VG is much easier on the throat but thicker than PG, which is much more harsh/similar to cigarettes. VG works the vaporizer harder and will cause the coil to be replaced sooner and takes longer to heat up.

PG can add to "throat hit" - being harder on the throat - but it probably won't be much of an issue using a Nautilus at lower watts. You'll probably be OK at 50/50. Nicotine is the major factor in "throat hit".

VG doesn't really take longer to heat up; it takes longer to soak into the wick around the coil. That means that if your VG is too high you need to take shorter inhales when you vape and wait longer between inhales so the VG has enough time to soak in. If you vape faster than the VG can soak in, you get a "dry hit" which tastes awful, is terribly hard on your throat and can ruin your coil. It's easy to tell if you get a dry hit because it's obviously burned and you can taste the smoke.

For nicotine, I'm thinking of going with 3 mg at first since I'm smoking cigs which only have .4 mg of nicotine at preset, opposed to the 1.2 in the average cig.

3mg would be extremely low for a pack-a-day smoker, unless you're sub-ohming at very high power. As Eskie says, juice concentration can't be directly compared to the amount in a cig. First, you're talking about the amount per ml in juice and the amount per cig in a cig, and they aren't the same. Also, you don't absorb as much from vaping as you would from smoking.

12mg/ml to 18 mg/ml would probably be a better place to start. I started at 28 mg/ml, so 12 - 18 isn't too high. I would strongly recommend getting a few different strengths of ejuice so you can see what works for you. You might want to get some stronger ejuice and some 0 nic juice in the same flavour so you can mix them to lower the nic if the stronger stuff is too strong.

Also, a typically 30 ml ejuice will last about 4 weeks and coils need to be replaced on average of about every two weeks, maybe sooner if a high VG ratio.

I wouldn't count on 30ml lasting anywhere near 4 weeks. Using 2 ml/day is considered very low, and that would use up 30ml in two weeks. There are people here who go through 30ml a day, but that's considered extremely high.

Coil life depends on a few things - how sweet the juice is (sweeter juices gunk up coils faster), how dark it is (darker juices also tend to go through coils faster) and how much you vape. Change the coil when the vape changes and isn't as nice anymore. 1 - 3 weeks for a Nautilus coil is pretty common.

That said, I'm looking at lower voltage and wattage, possibly temperature to reduce the harshness of the hit. This is not something to build up to once I learn and gain more experience, but, seems necessary for me to even begin, so a prerequisite.

You probably won't use temperature control (TC) with a Nautilus. You need special coils for temperature control made of nickel (Ni200), Titanium (Ti) or stainless steel (SS316L). The Ni and Ti should only be used with TC. SS can be used in TC or power mode. Most Nautilus coils are made of kanthal, which can't be used in TC mode. There's only one coil I know of (Triton Mini Ni200) that can be used for TC in a Nautilus.

That with a low nicotine content and using higer VG ratio ejuice, I think I should be set to make an initial purchase.

The higher resistance and lower power in a Nautilus should give you the gentler vape you're looking for. I wouldn't worry too much about high VG at this point. About the nicotine, I'd say get a few different options and experiment to see what works for you. A lot of people fail at vaping because their nic is too low to keep them off cigs.

I'm committed to quite smoking, so learning the ins and outs of the rather convoluted process is very much worth the time and effort. If I could handle the regular ecigs, I think it would be much easier. I'm also not too concerned about the cost of this, hopefully successful, experiment. I'm spending 7 dollars a day on a pack, and so far its seems to be about a week or two funds of cigs, which isn't so bad. I would spend a lot more than this and still fell its worth it. Nothing is more important than health, right

Well, you're certainly starting out with the attitude you need for success. I wish you all the best in your endeavour!

At this point, I'm not sure what to do about the nautilus atomizer since it might not handle a VG ratio of higher than 50%. I would like to safely use a higher ratio than this, so perhaps I need to consider a different one. Is the 20% difference significant? If so, I could use a recommendation on an atomizer that plays nicely at those ratio levels.

As I've said, I think you'll be fine with the Nautilus at 50/50. If you still don't think so, you might consider a Tobeco Super Tank Mini with the Triton 1.8 ohm coil. Note that there's a difference between the Triton and Triton Mini coils - the Mini coils work with the Nautilus line, but not the Super Tank. The Triton (not Mini) coil works with the Super Tank, but not the Nautilus line. The regular (not Mini) Triton coils have bigger holes and tend to work better with higher VG.

So far my shopping list includes:

A VV/VW mod
An Atomizer
Ejuice
Replacement coils (I think the Nautilus only ships with one?)

Good list. Tanks (the Nautilus) usually ship with 1 or 2 coils, so you'll need a pack or two extra. Try to get different flavours and nic levels of juice too.

Good luck!

For simplicity and ease of use I will always recommend the iStick TC40W and a Nautilus Mini because it was my first MOD and still gets used all the time. I like the Nautilus Mini so much I have 3 which I use daily.

 

[englishmick]

You probably can use a 70 VG juice in a Nauti tank with Nauti coils. Just prime it well, and try to avoid chain vaping 10 draws in a row the coil will have trouble keeping up with. There are even some folks who would go higher, I'm not among them.

I'll second this. I use 80 VG in a Nautilus regularly and it's fine. Like Eskie said, you can't take 10 draws in a row. You can't suck really hard either, just take slow gentle draws and keep the power level on the low side.

Bear in mind as you read this thread and others, you will hear different opinions on just about everything. That's normal and it's nothing but opinions. A lot of the time there aren't any clear cut right answers. You just have to figure out how to extract useful information from the pool, which you seem to be doing pretty well at so far.

 

[SteveS45]

I use MAX VG in my Nautilus Minis all the time and a simple way to keep the coils working well is keep drawing when letting off the power which cools the coil and primes it for the next hit. Keep the wattage below 12W and you will be fine since I chain vape High or MAX VG all day long.

 

[vapdivrr]

I think the nautilus & istick is a great choice. I heard in a previous post it might be to advanced for a newb, why? The ones that were mentioned as an alternative are no easier. Also agree that 3 mg nic is to low and think 18, maybe 12 is where you should start. Lastly like also mentioned, vapor at first does seem to be harsh, but it's just because your not use to it and takes time but if you draw into the mouth, then kind of swirl it around, then inhale, it will be alot easier to get use to and won't feel harsh. My wife vapes 70 vg in her nautilus at 16 watts no problems

I will try 6 mg and see how it goes. I would say I smoke about a 1/3 of a 'regular' pack of cigarettes a day, nicotine wise. I smoke Virginia Slim, super slims, ultra lights, which have about .4 mg on nicotine per cigarette. A normal cigarette has about 1.2 g, so. 20 x.4 is about 8 mg a day, opposed to 20 x 1.2, which is about 24 mg a day. If it's not enough, I will go up. To be honest, I was planning to ween off cigarettes while vaping. I'd like to smoke half a pack a day and vape the rest. After a week or two, cut it done to just a handful. Eventually, I'll probably not be in the mood to drive out and buy another pack of cigarettes, which happens often even now, then take the opportunity to stop and not bother buying more cigarettes.

Edit* After reading more posts, I think I will buy both a 6 mg and 12 mg, and perhaps a 0mg, in case I need slightly lower mix than either of these. I'm sure I'll be able to find a level which balances harshness, nicotine satisfaction, and one which doesn't raise my blood glucose level too much.

Looks good.
Make sure you properly prime the coil before use the first time. Drip some drops of your liquid into the cotton area avoiding the center air hole, if possible(if you get some down it just hold a tissue at the end and gently blow through to get it out). I always like to make sure my new coils are pretty saturated before I put the tank together and fill with juice. This helps to ensure you don't burn the coil or its wicking. After you get the tank together and fill with juice, allow it to sit a few minutes and turn upside down momentarily and you should see some air bubbles come from the bottom when you turn it rightside up. Turn the mod watts down, take a couple of tokes before hitting the fire button to help with ensuring the juice flow is properly established. Then hit the fire button and slowly increase the watts until you find a place that you enjoy the vape. From then, until a new coil is needed just fill the tank with juice and vape.

You will be able to tell when the coil needs replaced. Taste will be awful, or vapor will decrease a lot.

Good luck.

@Tjgoa - Here's 3 of the items that you decided to buy, that would save you quite a bit, compared to getting them at VaporAuthority. S/H would be free, too, since your order would be more than $14 total! He doesn't carry the eliquid you wanted though.

Use this coupon code at Checkout for 30% off of everything: turkey

Aspire Nautilus Mini BVC Glass Clearomizer Set - $29.00 : Rocky Mountain Vapor, The Mountain top of Electronic Cigarettes - Reg. $29.00, but with discount = $20.30

Aspire Nautilus BVC Coils 5 Pack - $13.00 : Rocky Mountain Vapor, The Mountain top of Electronic Cigarettes - Reg. $13/box of 5, but with discount = $9.10/box of 5 (Available only in 1.6ohm now. Owner said he's not going to carry 1.8 any more.)

EDIT: Just got off the phone with RMV owner, so I edited/changed some things above. He does have the Eleak 40W TC mod in stock, in grey only now, and has changed the website to show it. So here's a link to it, for the $24.50 price after the 30% off discount.

Eleaf iStick 40W TC Battery - $35.00 : Rocky Mountain Vapor, The Mountain top of Electronic Cigarettes - Reg. $35, with discount = $24.50

If you compare those 3 things to VaporAuthority prices...it's $16.07 less, with Free S/H, too. With the savings, you could even get another box of coils if you wanted to.

Thanks. I already ordered it though. Its a shame I didn't get to read your message beforehand. I checked me email and it didn't give me any notifications that someone replied to the thread. It could have saved me bout 9 bucks. But all is well

Looks good.
Make sure you properly prime the coil before use the first time. Drip some drops of your liquid into the cotton area avoiding the center air hole, if possible(if you get some down it just hold a tissue at the end and gently blow through to get it out).
