[CountryGirl_Jess]

Same here...too far out in the woods.

Pretty much I am almost 8000 feet up in the mountains of Colorado. I love it but rely heavily on online shopping lol.

Im sure there is plenty of info on here for pg and vg but here is a quick link

Propylene Glycol vs. Vegetable Glycerin E-Liquid | E-Cigarette Reviews and Rankings

Basically PG is thinner and gives more of a throat hit. VG is smoother and produces more vapor.

Hello all, I am new here but have been vaping off and on for about 2 years. I tried the disposable ecigs first and went through them way too fast. Then I switched to a veppo pen style vault vaporizer. I started at 36mg nic and am down to 24mg on it. The battery on it is 3.2 to 4.8v and I have the airflow as open as it will go on it lol. It served its purpose as I have been smoke free for 8 months now. However I wanted to upgrade so I ordered an iStick 50W by Eleaf and an Authentic Horizon Arctic tank Atomizer Sub Ohm Subtank Comes with BTDC (dual) 0.2 ohm & BTDC (dual) 0.5 ohm coils! I know nothing about them other than they were recommended as a good starting point from what I was using. Anyone have any info on these? I want to educate myself while I wait for them to get here lol. So any info, tips, or tricks are welcomed. Thanks!

howdy - and welcome!

arctic is a great little tank - may have 'break in' coils a little (start at a lower wattage, ramp up - a buddy of mine notes that he thinks flavor is muted initially, but once coil is broken it, it rocks)... great vapor, very good flavor - only real drawback is small tank size, depending on how much you vape...

Yep, I was born in Colorado (Colorado Springs) and I grew up in an even more rugged State (Montana)....... I know all too well about the rocky mountains. It's online shopping all the way for me

Thanks! My current tank is only 1.5ml so 3ml is bigger than what I am use to. I will probably have to fill it at least twice a day still but its better than 4-5 times a day lol.

Nice! I am about a hour south of the springs and about an hour west of Pueblo. I lived in Montana for about 6months when I was 4 lol. So I dont remember much other than lots of cold snow that I didnt want to stop playing in lol.

I know exactly where you are.... Yep, Montana (the Western part) is 100% mountains and trees. Very rugged and very beautiful... But the winters are brutal (-30 to -60) below zero temps on average. That's one of the reasons I got the heck out of there and moved out East here. Of course it gets pretty dang cold here as well (Pennsylvania) but I didn't know it at the time I moved out here. But, it is still warmer here than it is in Montana.

I figured you might know with the directions and without me saying exactly where lol. I am a transplant and was use to a dry climate. Been here for 8 years now and wouldnt go back if you paid me lol.

"transplant"? from where? Let me guess....Arizona? The thing I hate about out here is the summer Humidity! Really sux for sure. I used to belly ache about the winters in the Northwest and now I am belly aching about the summers in the NorthEast I am just a giant complainer .

haha nope Southern California I try not to mention that much in this state but have been told be a few people who found out that I was one of only a few from there that they welcome here lol. Yeah humidity is a killer back east! I have been to Ga, Fl, NC, and TX tho not back east in the summer and about died.

Yeah it is similar here to what it's like in GA with the humidity.... I used to wrongly assume that it was only Southerly states that were humid....What an idiot I can be at times..... Nope it's humid here as well.... I have been all through California (many times) and it gets a bit hot in certain areas, especially around needles and Barstow.... I traveled though CA one time on a motorcycle and when I got back to Montana I was about 20 shades darker than when I started out. Got caught in a sand storm on the way back going through the Mojave dessert. Not a fun thing on a motorcycle.

I wished you would have told me that before I went on that excursion I found out the hard way about that desert.... I had to take shelter behind some old building that was way out in the desert. The sand was beating me to death and taking the paint off of my new motorcycle. I probably swallowed a couple pounds of sand too

I got to go for now.... Hope to see you on the forum here. Have fun with your new setup!

You got a nice little setup there I would stick with .5 coils unless you like the cloud chasing lol then go lower with the .2 but the .5 should be perfect just make sure you buy replacements and make sure to drip some juice on fresh coils to break em in but how are you liking the arctic tank?

 

[jseah]

@CountryGirl_Jess Another place you may want to consider for coils for your Arctic tank is Sweet-Vapes. They tend to have really low prices, but they do not have discount codes.

Horizon Arctic BTC BTDC Coils - Phantom & Arctic Tank - Horizon - Clearomizers Tanks

They currently list the Arctic replacement coils for $13.95 for a 5-pack.
