Hello, howdy, hi!
I'm Shane and have recently switched from about 5-10 black and mild cigars a day to vaping! I started with an EVOD kit 18-24mg nic and was getting really frustrated with battery life so I got an 2200mah ego mega battery, that worked for a while but I still wanted more.....I than ordered a Subtank Mini and Istick 50w, while that worked good for a few months I was constantly going thru coil's and found the subtank couldn't wick well enough anywhere near the wattage rating on the .5 and 1.2ohm coils. So my search for something better started again! I've finally found a setup I'm happy with: IPV4, Xtar VC2 charger, 4x Sony VTC4 batteries (married and position rotation) and a smok TCT tank that I use in TC mode from 30-35J anywhere from 400-425* I also use the Ni200 coils in the subtank around 20J and 400w the coils are lasting wayyyyy longer in TC mode and other than battery life I'm pretty satisfied! Well that's me and what I use to quit stoogies! A little about me is I'm 30YO Born in California, raised in Las Vegas and now live in Louisiana! I was in the Army for 8 years where I was medically retired! Currently I am retired and may or may not ever go back to work! My back is extremely jacked up and everyday is a challenge! I have a 3YO son and have been married for 4 years(2nd time/Thanks Army) I now Vape in the 3-6mg nic area I am satisfied for the most part and have not fallen of the wagon not even once since I quit analogs!

Hi Shane
Welcome to ECF. You will find a lot of great people here, and lots of info on vaping to quit the death sticks. Welcome and good luck on hopefully never touching another cancer stick!

Thanks y'all! The only problem I have with the industry In my area is that the local B&M stores sell everything at double or more than what its MSRP is....so most of my ordering is done online....9$ for subtank mini coils with the clear insulators (pretty sure old or not authentic) $149.99 for Istick 50 stuff like that but this isn't my 1st time with a hobby so I know how to price shop

Yes ma'am I tried that! I hit the 5 post mark yesterday is why I was asking.....I keep getting "you have insufficient privileges" or something to that effect.

Just checked. Your 5th post was 32 minutes ago. Just wait another 30-35 minutes and you will be good to go.
