You might be interested in entry into this contest : HeavenGifts Summer Contest: Win What You Want! Ends 8/31/2015 | E-Cigarette Forum

All you have to do is pick out ANY item they sell, tell why you like it post. Allowed 2 entries. I received a package from them last month, came from Vietnam.

Are you from Singapore? If so, you are "most likely" going to have some problems getting your order through customs.

Nope, Turkey. Only selling them locally is banned, I guess. Government banned e-cigs because more and more people started using them everyday so tobacco tax revenue went down.

Will check out the contest, thanks

Good! Those that live in Singapore have it REALLY bad!

Sorry, it's me again
Aspire Nautilus seems to have Paypal block and I don't want to dive into BitCoin stuff. Can you recommend another tank for me?
I checked out tanks and found one that I like.

$20.65 Authentic Sense Herakles Sub Ohm Tank Clearomizer - 5ml / 0.6ohm / 22mm diameter / stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I know, it's a subohm tank but I'm really curious to try them. Most people seem to recommend this tank.
Do you suggest it? Or do you have any other suggestions? If you stictly say "You should stay away from subohms!" then it's ok but I think I can handle it.

I personally am not a fan of sub-ohms, so I can't help you on that. I have a CoolFire4 and an MVP 2.0 and I love them both.

I actually butted into this thread to let you know from my experience that I wouldn't order anything from Fasttech that says "will ship in 7 business days" like one fo the juices in your cart has. That will hold up your whole order and none of it will be sent until it is all available. In my order, I had one that said will ship in 7 business days and it ended up taking 3 weeks (20 days) to get my order.

Thanks for the reply! As I am a beginner, any suggestions would be awesome. I've heard people saying subohm tanks give a lot more vapor so I've checked them out. No need to insist on them. Normal tanks would be fine, too. If you want to suggest any tank, I would love to hear

As for the orders, I'm going on a vacation in 2 weeks so my choices were on purpose. No need to rush them since I won't be at home but thanks for the warning.

I would recommend this tank
$29.35 Authentic KangerTech SUBTANK Mini Clearomizer - 4.5ml / 0.5ohm (15-60W) / stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
coils 1.2 ohm
$12.24 Replacement Coil Head for SUBTANK Clearomizer (10-Pack) 10-pack - 1.2ohm (12-25W) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
and a more restrictive drip tip (you can shop for one of your choosing)
$1.75 Diagonal Stripes Pattern Anodized Aluminum 510 DripTip - black / 25mm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

There is a less expensive way to go, but I know this is quality.

That went a little bit over my budget, so I can't afford it now.
As for the GS Air, it looks good but I don't get why it is so cheap. There should be a difference between 21 usd Nautilus and 8 usd GS Air.

Thanks for the reply, you've helped me a lot on this one.
Sorry for bothering you this much. I will check out the ones that you've recommended.

Hey there! I'm a pretty serious Hookah guy myself (got hooked while I was working in the middle east). Hookah was always about the pleasant flavor and relaxation of sitting around the hookah with friends. Of course I smoked also. Switching to vaping cured both those habits. I recently got my Kangertech subox mini starter kit for around $100 and it's served me extremely well. I am going to be moving up as I've caught the upgrade bug, but for the price I could see it being a one stop deal for anyone.

 

[dcfluegel]

kanger subox kit is a great starting place

 

[AbigGRNboot]

iStick 30w.
kayfun clone (I recommend the sandblasted 3.1es from fasttech)
I've had both for a couple of months now. They worked great for me as a starter.

Flexible, lots of info available, good taste, good vapor, cheap.

Good luck!

How nice to see another hookah person here! I was literally addicted to hookah. I even ordered a special hookah pipe with my name on it.
Grape + Lemon + Mint, Cherry + Watermelon and Apple + Lemon (for huge clouds) were my favourites. I honestly agree, with friends it gets better.
But after few months my lungs started to get clogged. I felt like my breath was getting heavier. So there was a problem. Hookah is not as nearly harmful as a cigarette but since you use it at least for 30 mins it does not differ that much. Also it contains tobacco. So i quit it.

Since Paypal does not pay Aspire products and I wanted to try subohm tanks, I've replaced Aspire Nautilus with Kangertech Subtank Nano.
Now my basket looks like this:

I hope that those items are compatible with each other and enough for me.
I'm trying to order them now but Paypal keeps rejecting my bank card. Weird...

Buy an e-hookah head and you're set
E-Hookah Head Comparison: Which One Should You Buy?

 

[AbigGRNboot]

Those should work great together.

 

[Teytey]

Those should work great together.

Thanks for the reply! Just hearing that made me so happy.

Gave the order yesterday, they've shipped it today. Lightning-fast, I must say. I hope everything will come in one piece.
(Because of the Paypal's absurd rate convertion fees, I had to give up 4 liquids. I was only able to buy cappuccino liquid. Makes me so frustrated.)

With few spare coils and some e-liquid samples I think I can manage few months. After that, I think I'll go with Sigelei-100W Mod and Herakles Sub Ohm Tank.
I'll post pictures when the package arrives.

Thank you for every bit of advice that you've given. Much appreciated!

@Teytey , I would seriously consider these.

$21.96 Authentic Aspire Nautilus Mini BVC Clearomizer - 2.0ml / 1.8ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
$8.75 Authentic Aspire Nautilus Mini BVC Clearomizer Replacement Coil Head (5-Pack) 5-pack - 1.6ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
$35.21 Authentic Eleaf iStick 40W 2600mAh Temperature Control VW APV Box Mod - 1-40W / w/ USB cable / grey at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

There are 100's of different ways to go. You can get a mod with a replaceable battery, or one with an internal battery (like the iSticks).

Edit: for more money : $62.22 Authentic Sigelei 75W Temperature Control VW Variable Wattage APV Box Mod - 5-75W / aluminum alloy at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping (replaceable 18650 battery required)

Thanks for everything Sir2fyablyNutz. I've just received my first order. If I can get into vaping, I'm definitely thinking about buying that mod. Not now but maybe few months later.

Didn't have time to try these out but I will as soon as I post this reply. The mod feels extremely small, maybe I've got giant hands. I don't know.
Just ordered 8 more liquids and a pack of 5 0.15ohm Ni200 coils.
