Hello All,
This is my first post to ECF. I have been vaping for a couple weeks now and I'm hooked. I smoked for 22 years and chewed tobacco for 33 years (Up until I received my first e-cig from a non-tobacco user in my family). It has been a whirl wind journey. Seem to be spending a bunch of $$ trying stuff out. The first one to start my vaping journey was a Joytech e-com twist. I like it alot. Its very discreet and gives great flavor. I then bought an eGo One. I didn't care for the atomizer so I bought an Aspire nautilus mini to replace the stock. Much better flavor. This last Friday I went to a local shop and walked out with my current setup. Pioneer4you iPV Mini v2 5-70watt along with a Kanger Tech Subtank Nano. It is very impressive and I am playing around with wattage to find the best flavor and inhale. I don't care for direct lung inhale. I like to do a pull on it more like a cigarette.

Any tips on wattage? .5 ohm or 1.2 ohm coil? looking for ultimate flavor and smooth hit.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum! I just got my IPV Mini v2 and Subtank mini this week, and I've settled on 20W for the moment with the 1.2 ohm coil. Seems like a good balance of vapor and flavor to me and it's working for both direct lung hits and mouth to lung (which I also prefer). I'm really enjoying this set-up and think I've found my sweet spot for now.

Welcome Fishgod! Congrats on making the switch to vaping! Pull up a comfy chair and enjoy the forum!

Thanks for the warm welcome all. I see on the Kanger box that they recommend 15-30 Watts on .5 ohm coil and 12-25 Watts on the 1.2. I'm currently running the .5 ohm at 15 Watts with River Reserve "Great Wall" 12mg nic. Its a 80vp/20pg. Seems to be very smooth. Playing around with increasing the wattage a little at a time.

Hi fishgod and welcome aboard!

That's the way to find the sweet spot for a setup and juice - start low and work your way up. It may be different depending on the juice, too.

Happy Vaping!

Thanks again for the warm welcome. After playing with the subtank nano I'm thinking I should have gotten the mini so later on down the road I could have played with creating my own coils and such. I already own a nice Fluke multi-meter so I can test resistance. Man oh man information over load.

Hello fish and welcome to the forum. When I first joined I too had information overload. I promise it gets easier. One thing that helped me tremendously is the search box in the top right corner of every page. It's keyword activated. Congrats on quitting and good luck.
