Hello, Dear vaping community. My name is Richard. I have been a vaper for a year and a half now and i must say, I've thoroughly enjoyed my experience.
I started vaping back in August 2014. My girlfriend was the one who got me into it. She didn't like that i smoked. I didn't even know what vaping was when she suggested to get into vaping
. My first ever vape was a Kangertech EVOD which my girlfriend bought for my birthday. Amazing little thing. I used that until January 2015. I got gifted an Innokin Itaste SVD and a Vamo V2 by the girlfriends mother. I then started to use a vast variety of tanks which the girlfriends mother let me borrow. I can't remember the names of them.
Around June last year, I wanted to get into sub ohm vaping and try something new. I purchased a SMOK M80 Plus and a Kanger Subtank Plus. They blew me away. The airflow, the vapour, the flavour. It was amazing. I noticed that sub ohm tanks also work better with me due to the increased air flow, Along with high VG liquids.
I was happily vaping this combination until disaster struck around August time. The M80 suddenly got very hot in my pocket which was weird because i knew i locked it before i put it in my pocket. The M80's do have a history of autofiring. I didnt do any research before i bought it. i would've purchaced a different mod if i would have known. Anyway. I pulled it out of my pocket and noticed that it wouldn't fire anymore. I smelled the 510 on the M80 and it was burned out. I still don't know to this day what caused it to spontaneously combust. Maybe it was the autofiring I mentioned earlier.
So my girlfriend mum gave me her iTaste mvp 2 until i had the funds to purchase another sub ohm mod. It killed me. I was so used to sub ohming and having increased airflow that being back on 1.8 ohm coils killed my lungs/throat. I have asthma so that's probably why i got so affected by it.
Around October, I purchased the Aspire Odyssey kit (Aspire Pegasus V1 and the Triton). I absolutely loved it. The tank had much more airflow than the Subtank plus and the coils were much better quality. I used the 0.4 ohm ones. I also never had any spitback from the triton apart from when i accidentally got liquid in the chimney.
In january this year, I dropped my pegasus and it stopped reading atty's. I was panicked because i had no vape. I was back on the MVP for a few days until my new pegasus V2 arrived. Luckily, UK ecig store were having a sale so i got a new pegasus very cheap. Aspire even replaced the one i dropped. I just had to pay for delivery.
Now to the present. I recently purchased a SMOK X cube 2. i've wanted it for a while but didnt have the money to get it. I also purchased 2 tanks. The Aspire Cleito and the Uwell Crown. I heard good reviews about these tanks and once again UK ecigstore were having a sale so i purchased them. I also purchased a pair of Samsung 25R's for the mod. I'm also going to purchase a pair of LG HG2's once I have a bit more money.
Can people that have the Xcube 2 and/or any of the tanks i've recently purchased tell me your experience with it/them so far? Is there any tips and tricks i should know about?
I'd like to thank a fellow member named Mooch for his battery testing. It has helped me alot knowing which batteries to avoid and which batteries to get. I was so scared i was gonna blow my hand off due to having the wrong battery but their posts made me buy with confidence knowing that the batteries i purchase will be fit for purpose.
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to read this post. I do apologise for the length of it. Feel free to tell me your experience with vaping.
Once again, Thanks for reading and Happy Vaping.
