Teresa! Dont get the vamo! I have one if u really want it. Did you get the txt i sent you about the eleaf istick? Im sticking with that for my opinion for your perfect battery for your nautty mini. Its 2200 mah and capable of 20 watts. Check them out!! Inexpensive too!

I got it but for some reason the link wouldn't work on my phone to look at it. I will take a look sometime this weekend. Hoping to get the mini and battery within the next two weeks, so if you find a really good place to buy either one let me know. What's your opinion on the Kanger? I have been seeing a lot of people talking about them.

The eleaf istick is available an in stock on ebay for like $34. And ill keep my eyes open for a deal on a nautty mini and some replacement heads. Theres a great site called Gotsmok. They will email you everyday with the best vape deals around. Always seeing stuff i wanna buy. Now on to kanger.... They were my first love. Lol. Swore by kanger protanks since the first batch of version one's dropped. Then i was unhappy with the quality of the replacement heads. That leads to my first builds. I can build some killer protank heads. But as for the ones you can buy... Not great. Either dry hits or flooded. (Juice in the mouth) but i got them to work great for a long time with some fiddling. I say start with the nautty. If you enjoy vaping like many of us do, you will wind up with some kanger tanks eventually. Hell ill give ya one. Those protanks turned me into the dripper i am now. Hahaha. So thanks kanger. For showing me the that vaping could b a complete pain in the .... And thats how i feel about kanger. Yes youll get one eventually to try. Ill build a nice little micro coil in one and give it to you when i see ya.

Sounds good! Probably not this coming week, but the following I will be ready to purchase both. I have almost used my 10 ml bottle of juice that I got, still have the plain Ice to go yet, but definitely going to be going back for another grape/ice mix. I may put in for a half day on a Saturday so that we can get up to the cafe. I am looking forward to hopefully finding a few more juices that I like so that I can keep changing up my flavors.

Have you ever done any DIY liquids? The reason I ask is because I have been seeing different threads about possible bans, taxes ect on eliquids.

The FDA IS real, and they plan on ruining vaping as we know it. I have not dabbled in DIY yet. Key word "yet" first thing you may want to do is join CASAA. its the consumers advocates for smoke-free alternatives association. They are the main voice us as vapers have. They put out call to actions to their members when your action is requested. You can also follow the fight for your rights thread here at ecf for a separate, daily call to action plan. I do all that i can. Iv called senator Bob Casey sent letters and emails to everyone i could. There is a lot we can do but we all have to be active in the good fight.

I joined CASAA. Can't add a second banner to my signature, but I'm now a member. I found the fight for your rights to #vape thread but couldn't subscribe to it for some reason. I will try again later.

So glad that you joined! You also dont know how excited i am for you for vaping instead of smoking. I tried txting mom today to see if she wanted to hit the cafe, but no answer. For christmas, im getting her exactly what i suggested you get. I just hope she can be patient and let me teach her. Its a lot easier to just grab a lighter and a cig.

Thanks! I love vaping!!! I will let her try mine once I get it and have been using it for a little while. If I like it I want to make sure that I always have an extra battery and tank, which is what I do now. I'm sure she will like it once she gets used to it. I did both for awhile, cigs and vaping but didn't take too long before I was strictly vaping. She just has to set her mind to it.

I was just reading another thread about the knock offs. I will definitely be looking to make sure what I'm getting is authentic, even though it seems that some of the knock offs work better and are cheaper. Since I'm just starting out though I want to make sure I'm getting something I will enjoy using. What is the difference you are seeing between your mini and the Kanger?

I like the Aero better for several reasons:.
1). The Nautilus Mini only has the 4 air holes, which ime is actually only 3 because I can't get any air through the smallest one. The Aero has a slider which gives much more control over air..
2). I have to use a small wrench to get the Nautilus apart for refilling and cleaning. I've had it for over a month and it's still a pain to get apart..I ended up bending the threads on it because it was so darn tight so it still works but it doesn't sit flush anymore. Not a big deal but still a pain to refill.
3). To me, it seems like the Nautilus holds juice flavor from a switch over. It takes me much more cleaning and rinsing time to change juices and not still get the old flavor, even with a new coil..
4). The glass on the Nautilus is thinner and seems easier to crack or damage (I haven't yet so that may just be my assumption based on the glass thickness). The aero comes with the backup stainless tank and the Nautilus doesn't come with any backup tank..
5). The Kanger coils are cheaper (may not be that way for long). I have been dry burning both type coils and the Nautilus coils are better imo so this may be a moot point..

With that all said, I received a Nautilus, the larger size, 5ml in the mail yesterday and I like it so much more than the mini. All four airholes work great, didn't need to raid my husband's tool box to get it open, hits great, etc. I would definitely recommend the larger tank if you're set on a Nautilus. 101Vapes still has that sale going for $21.99 and it comes with 4 coils (they usually only come with 2).

I think you'd be happy with either tank, but I would definitely go for the full size over the mini, just my :2c: after trying both.

Agree. That thing is a female dog to get off! I keep a small piece of latex dish glove near my vape station. Helps with getting the bottom off. Better grip. Also found I really don't need to tighten it 'as far as it'll go'. as long as the edge of the glass is close to the metal lip I've not gotten any leakage.

Thanks Cam! I'm definitely not looking for a fight to clean or fill so I may just go with the larger tank just to avoid any issues. Can't wait to be able to order it and my new battery and see the difference. May keep my Voodoo around just for a backup until I can order a second one of each.

*Waves* from Mountville. Anyway, I just ordered an iStick and it had to come from China. They are made there. Problem seems to be that they are so new that stateside vendors are selling out so fast. Life goes on.

I've been, primarily an MVP2/Protank2 peep since I started. But, since my wife is using my stuff, I am getting an iStick and some nautilus tanks. I will also get the lowest ohm BVCs I can. I think it will be a definite upgrade. I do have a bunch of other stuff, but the MVP/Protank2 and the iStick/Nautilus' seem a good step up. And they are all easy to use.

Happy vaping!

And Teresa, just so you know 98% of vape gear comes from china. Theres american made stuff, and id love to have some but its just too expensive for me right now. The day u want to buy it let me know in the morning and ill get on the hunt for ya.

Love Mountville!! I'm just close enough to pass by my old house everyday on the way to and from work! lol

Not this Thursday, but the following I should be ready to order!! Wish I could do it now. I'm excited to try the new one!

I have the itaste vv v3 and as much as I like it, I've only had it for a bit over a month and a full charge on it only lasts 5/6hrs. I'd like a bit stronger battery anyways but without a super high price tag so I've been looking at the Istick also. They're reasonably priced, like $35 -$39 or so and I found a vendor with free shipping so I might just order that one today. I want to do a bit more looking but for that price, why not try it! Tmcginnis78 have you decided on a battery yet?

2)Why do you need to use pliers/wrench to get it open? Its not the easiest to take out but a little effort and it unscrews out. Grasp the whole metal part, its ok to move the airflow part when taking it out. Just set it back to your pref later

3)Dont rinse the atomizer/bvc head everytime you fill in with diff eliquid(your not suppose to, unless doing a full clean after 3-4 weeks). Once near empty just empty the remaining liquid or keep it in, rinse the tank and refill with new liquid. After 5-10 puffs , the flavor will def change.
