Hello to all! I'm new here and as I'm sure with many that are new to e-cigs, I have some questions. I'll ask on the appropriate topic but also wanted to introduce myself as well.

Well, since you're new, you won't be able to post in other topics. Go ahead and post your question in the new members forum until you get membership status. You could also introduce yourself and say what you're using, and where you're coming from.

I'm currently using the Fin brand ecig. I really like the bold cartomizers because of the taste. To me, they closest resemble a true smoke. I'm a 30+ year smoker who was diagnosed with COPD so I decided to switch to ecigs. I tried to quit but my wife smokes so that didn't last too long. Anyway, my biggest question is, I know I can refill the Fin cartos but is PG or VG recommended? I read that PG produces a better TH but VG gives you more vapor. I've tried a blu cargo and did get more vapor but I also read that VG clogs up the atty quicker than PG. So....if I'm refilling the Fin cartos, what eliquid would be best to have the best of both worlds? Lots of vapor and high nicotine content with minimal atty clogging?
Hello and welcome to ECF. I have heard it said that PG is a better flavor carrier than VG, umm personally I like 50/50, and I think from there you can adjust it as you see fit, but a lot of it is personal preference. Nic content will also contribute to throat hit.
Thank you! I was also wondering about the cargo getting hot...after 3-4 drags it gets warm and the amount of vapor decreases as well until it cools off. Any suggestions?
I agree with arnie on the 50/50. That's all I ever vape. But things do change and it's possible that the more you get into this your preferences may change. with that being said it is likely that you may want to upgrade soon too. As for the carto getting hot you may just need wait a little longer between puffs. 3-4 consecutive puffs is probably too much for that little thing so take a puff wait a while take a puff wait a while etc..
Sorry for the delay in posting, I had to sleep.
Finding a good liquid that doesn't clog atomizers is hard to find. Usually two components tend to clog atomizers, one is if there's any sort of sugar in the flavoring, and second, any sort of "substance" in the liquid. You know three components in the E-liquid, Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycerine, and Nicotine. The fourth is the flavoring, and that's what causes the atomizers to clog. The PG/VG + power combination determines the ammount of vapor, the PG+Niccotine determine the throat hit and the flavoring + pg determines the flavoring. Some flavoring, especially tobacco flavoring, is made by soaking the item in either PG or VG, kind of like making tea. Of course, once you boil the liquid away, some tiny extracts might be left over. Tobacco flavors usually clog the atomizers, but it all depends on how good the flavor is filtered before they make the liquid. Fruity flavors might have some sort of sweetner, and that may "caramalize" on your atty, which could also cause it to clog. There is no one true way to determine what liquid clogs and what doesn't, so your best bet is to just ask others what has clogged to them. for me, I vape Bananna, Guava, and Blueberry by Mt. Baker Vapor, all which leaves my coils fairly clean. Even though I rebuild my atomizers, I am lazy, so a worry free setup is one of the major deciding factor in what liquids I use. I also occasionally use clearomizers, and they work well in those.
As far as the throat hit/flavor, it seems you have the generalized grasp of the concept. Just also keep in mind, the ammount of nicotine also determines the throat hit. I have tried 18mg %80 pg/20% vg on a heavy vaporizor setup and my throat felt like it was about to burn after one inhale. Using the same setup on a %20pg/%80vg 6mg produced almost no throat hit. my current "standard" is %65pg/%35vg 6mg, and it produces a very mild throat hit, almost un-noticable, but the flavor is great. The best thing you can do is to experiment and see what works for you.
Hey im new here and trying to find information on mech mods
I had a mvp v2 till about a few hours ago and now have only a knock off ego 900mah to use with my 1.8ohm kanger aero dual coil i was looking at getting a smoktech magneto with a view of getting into RBA's latter down the line i want to know what is the safest way to use a mech mod with my kanger aero tank that will give me good vaper production and not blow up my battery or harm me or my wicks
Thanks

It's not the mech mod itself that is dangerous, it's the batteries you put in and the knowlege you have/don't have when rebuilding your own coils. The difference between a mech mod and a MVP 2.0, is huge. Wtih a VV/VW device, you can match the power to suit your coil and find a good combination of power Vs. the coil you have. With a mech mod, it's the opposite. You're stuck at 4.2-3.? and you match the coils to fit your battery's capabilities. The only differences between one mech mod and the other, is the safety feature, venting, battery options, and looks. Sure, you could add a kick + mech to vary the voltage/wattage, but you'll end up paying about the same amount of money as you would buying a lower end VV/VW device that has easier ways to increase voltage/wattage. But, you have the option to go full mech later on without a kick.
So, the bare basic recommendation after debating it with myself, is to get a mech mod with a safety fuse. The rest is just personal preferences.
So many things going through my head for this post, I'm sure plenty of "buts" and "howevers" are going to be posted, but I'm just trying to keep this post simple.
So what batterys would you recomend for 1.8 dual coils and a 1.2 ohm RBA (microcoils) to keep things safe and satisfying i at the moment have no intarest in sub ohm and need a good device to replace my busted up MVP V2 that is now just a over priced ohm checker
I mostly do my orders from Fastech, but they're REAL slow for shipping. It's for that reason I have two VV/VW and one mech mod.. all for backups. I use a Vamo V5 and this mech mod, and the mech mod is way more durable. both will work with those, but a mech mod might be a better suit for a dual coil setup. The 1.2 ohm RBA is a fairly safe setup with a 20amp battery. Since I see you're from the UK, I'd probably stick with a local shop, Without knowing the reputation of this shop, this mech mod looks to be well built.
Thanks for the help so would a 20amp limit battery work with my 1.8ohms aswell or is that to high
Yes, it would work fine. Also, I forgot to mention, I've heard of the Provari as a good reliable and durable VV/VW mod. Once you get setup again, you might look into getting one of those in the future. I've never had one, but I've read some really good reviews about it. (come to think of it, I don't think I've heard a bad review on it)
