Hi all. I've just joined this site but have been vaping for a couple of months now.

I never saw vaping as giving up smoking. to me it's more like changing your brand because after a while vaping can get exspensive.

I started off on ego type clearomisers then went on to rebuildable tank attys...From there it wasn't long before I purchased an Aga-t and got hooked on Gennies. I now have a 3ml Cobra, a DID clone, a NGP Hybrid and a Somnium RTA.

When I first started vaping I thought I would be saving money lol
But I suppose it's my own fault. The gadget freak in my likes shiny things

Hey fynn, its true vaping is a black hole to your wallet because there is always something new and shiny to buy. When I first started off I was using V2 cigs and I was saving money because all I was buying was liquid. Then I eventually went to the ego, then provari and and now just getting into mechanicals, I have an electric angel coming in the mail. And as far as RBA's im pretty new, I just started fiddling with my new AGA-T. I figured i'd start there before I shell out more on an expensive one.

I really love the technical side of it. Especially with the Genesis style RTAs. It can be a real black art. Not only do you have to make sure you've oxidised your mesh properly you've got to get your coil right as well.

When I first got my Cobra I spent days trying to get it to vape properly. But you get a real sense of achievement when you get it right

With you there fynn!!!

One thing to remember though, any gear you buy, if you buy the right stuff, tends to really hold its value and in some cases increases in value so you can easily trade or sell in the classifieds etc....

Boys and their toys!!!

I saw a cobra at a local brick and mortar and was really considering it. I figured I'd try and get a little more experience with the AGA before I pull the trigger and spend the $175 they were charging. I am still having trouble building the wick and coils. I was reading up on the ceramic wicks and was considering giving them a try.

bjm, if you can get hold of one I would go for a foggatty, Bliss, Synthesis or if you pray a lot perhps a HellFire mini or mega! There are some fantastic hybrids out there as well if you really like your genny's

 

[fynn4703]

The Cobra is really nice but has a sharp learning curve. I have also recently purchased a NGP Hybrid. Its easy to set up and not mega expensive

How has the Cobra been treating you, I was looking at it thinking as a beginner I would never be able to put it together.

 

[Grandmaster B]

Well I've only had my AGA a week and so far it hasn't been easy to put together, so it might be awhile before I upgrade lol. I'd want a higher end RBA but they seem really hard to find, only ones that I've had the chance to get are the Cobra and the Zatty when they restocked about 2 weeks ago. I was looking at the Terminator oddy type RBA, but I'll try and master this AGA before I move on.

Hi! and Welcome!

 

[fynn4703]

The Cobra was hard to set up correctly at first but after trawling the forums for advice it now works fine. The main thing is to make sure your wick is oxidised properly and you have a good coil. I use the drill bit method for wrapping the coil and it seems to work for me
