Hey ECF,

I've been an obsessive smoker for the past four years...I love combining my [edited] with tobacco, I call them moles because the dome your brain pretty hard. Anyways, I'm looking for a way to quit and I believe vaping is the answer. I already ordered a sigelei 75w with a subtank mini, so I'll be vaping soon!

If anyone has any delicious eliquids for me to try out. Please let me know!

Also how do I reply on other threads? It said I'm restricted from posting there...

Ok, thank you very much. I was wondering why..since I already made 5 posts lol.

Yeah...but my cousin has the 150w, so I wanted something in between and I was able to get a kit, which included 1 25rs, and a sub-tank mini for $80 shipped.

Also was able to sell my lotus vaporizer around that price [edited]

Safety first - the mod you bought can operate at wattages way higher than your Subtank mini coils can operate at, I believe they recommend 13-25 watts for the 1.3 ohm coils and like 15-30 watts for the other coil (.6 ohm I think). The coils themselves have a wattage range printed on the side. Do not run your wattage outside the manufacturer recommended range for the coils.


As for ejuice you have tons of options most B&M stores will have tasting racks. I like 50:50 mixes of PG (propelyne glycol) and VG (vegetable glycerine). VG produces more clouds and is a more viscous fluid, PG carries flavor better and produces more throat hit.
I am very particularly about avoiding a collection of chemicals called diketones. There is currently a lot of debate in the vaping community about diketones, but that's a debate/conversation for another thread.

My favor brand is space jam, they make a lot of pretty delicious fruit vapes at 50:50 VG/PG ratio and all their fruity flavors are diketone free. They're also widely available in B&M shops.

With some more info on your flavor preferences I'm sure folks could give more recommendations as well.

Good luck and welcome!

Thank you for the great info! I'm going to go ahead and sell the mini and get something else since I got it for a great price anyways. What would you recommend?

Also have to check out space jam, for VG/PG what would be the best for head rushes or is that even a thing in the vape world?

I personally would be really happy with the mini (I have the nano) and you have tons of versatility (sub-ohm or not), airflow control, really good build quality, ability to rebuild coils if you get into tinkering. My point was not a slight at the Subtank mini, just that your device has the CAPABILITY to operate unsafely with that tank.

For head rushes I'm assuming you mean nicotine rushes? How much do you care about vapor production (referred to as "chasing clouds"). If you're gonna run a tank at low resistance (running the tank you ordered using the .6 ohm coil is what's called subohming for less than one ohm of resistance) you're going to produce a lot of vapor. Most people find that with the high vapor production you don't need that high of nic content to get a rush. 3-6mg is common.

Others go for less vapor (by increasing their resistance or lowering their wattage and using a higher nic intake).

Check out what I googled and what popped up. People run that tank on that box, nothing wrong with that at all. You just need to set the wattage to correspond to the coils and not behind their safe operating limits

Honestly I'm not too sure what flavors I want. I'm just looking for the most reputable online ejuice store. Currently I'm checking out vapewild.com. Let me know if there's better websites I should be checking out!

Welcome to the forums! I got a couple of their sampler packs ($17 for 6 flavors), a few flavors weren't for me but they have a lot of great ones. I'm currently vaping their Cowboy Cooler, I first got it as a freebie mystery flavor with one of my orders and now I keep ordering it. My favorite would have to be Tiramisu though. But everyone has different tastes. Some days I want sweet dessert vapes other days I want fruity or sometimes a nice menthol/cooling vape. They are a budget juice, but I couldn't keep justifying spending $20 on a 30ml bottle of juice (I can make that disappear in 2 days) when I can get 120ml for the same price. There are some great juices out there that I really like...but my wallet does not. Other lower priced juices I like are ITC Vapes, Mad Town Vapor and Mt. Baker Vapor.

Thank you guys for the welcomes! As for the pic of the Sigelei I believe that's the Elite tank. I'm not quite sure why I'm so concerned about wattage right now but I went ahead and bought the Billow V2. I'll be listing the subtank mini very soon on craigslist lmfao.

@Romano Cheese Awesome, just what I wanted to hear. I'll show you guy's what I have in my cart currently as I still don't know what vg/pg and nic levels I want.
