Need help sorting out my options.

Watch out for generic merchandise in the smoke shops. There is a ton of it out there. Don't unwittingly pay authentic prices for generics...like I did.

Yeah. My local store had no signs on anything. Just a display model, and most of them I couldn't see any identifying marks or labels. And of course the guy behind the counter was busy with customers and not really happy about answering questions or telling me what bands the things were. So I just decided to not bother there. I also found a ton of fakes on ebay. Usually one place in the description would say 'clone' or something, but the rest of it sounded like it was authentic. That is why I was more than happy to order from a recommended shop.

Wow!
Got my stuff yesterday. First, I was surprised at how small the iStick 30w actually is. For some reason I thought it was bigger.
That was a nice surprise, as I like it's actual size. Stopped and got some juice today.
Filled up my Nautilus Mini and screwed it on.
Fired it up and took my first hit.
And immediately started coughing and hacking.
This rig puts out a serious amount. Especially when I didn't think to dial back the wattage, and I think I had the mini wide open as well. (still trying to figure out what adjustment is right for that, as I can't tell which holes are which)
Been working my way down on the wattage. After I realized I forgot to turn it down, I took it from 30 down to 14, and I have been stepping down from there, trying to find my own sweet spot. Down around 10 now, and I think that feels about right.

Gonna give it a couple of days, but I'm not too sure about the 24mg juice. Getting a bit of a rush.
Might have to try a little lower.

I'd recommend to start low and work your way up with the wattage. If you run it too hot you can burn your coil out prematurely. I personally used 12mg in the nautilus mini, and it was more than enough for me. The nautilus mini airflow is pretty tight at the tightest setting, a bit like a cigarette. It can be set looser.
