New to vaping and need advise

[dom qp]

thank you, but since I just started I am looking for more of a AIO setup rather than trying different setups. just refill the liquid and more vapor..

A lot of us prefer your standard mod/tank. It's a lot more robust, flexible, quality, and performant.

But by the way you describe your vaping habits, I think something like JUUL would be ideal for you. We often forget these things exist or look down on them. In the world of racing, most of us are vaping tuned cars and love buying aftermarket parts. Sounds like you just want a fun easy to use car that doesn't need the bells and whistles.

JUUL is like Blu except it's not terrible.



Similarly but where you can use your own juice, something like the eLeaf iCare kit. Personally I don't find either appropriate for my use. But I don't think my preferences apply unless you like dual claptons and go through 15-30ml of juice a day.



If you wanted to get a better experience and don't mind getting something that looks less traditional... Nautilus 2 (tank) with anything that can power it (~30 Watts would be perfect).

The kits you listed are direct to lung subohm. You would probably be better off with something like the Joyetech AiO if you really need something in that form factor. If you're vaping >1.3ish ohms, look to get higher concentration of nicotine. More like 12, 16, 18 rather than 3 or 6.

Hello, and welcome. Seems Anna and I are always recommending the Aspire Zelos (for good reason) for beginers. It got me off cigs, is extremely easy, and not expensive. It sounds like you've already found that AIO's have severe limitations, and it seems very few people stick with them for a long time, so I wouldn't recommend another one. I think if you do a little research, you'll see that the Nautilus 2 (that comes with the Zelos) uses a coil that is among the most popular out there among mouth-to-lung (cigarette style, rather than b*ng hit style) vapers. There are others that are good, but this one worked for me and several other people I turned on to it to quit smoking.

You won't be locked into a single product type for juices, can get replacement coils anywhere. And if you want to put a new tank, say a rebuildable (like I ended up with) on the Zelos mod, you can still use the mod- I use mine as a backup. Trust me, it seems crazy at first with all the info - especially if you're going to buy batteries, do calculations with ohm's law, and all that stuff. But you don't need to yet, or maybe never (I don't, but I do make my own coils and juice). I'd start with an internal battery mod and factory replaceable coil tank- whichever seems to fit your style (mtl or dl). Pretty easy, and a better vape than you get with just about any AIO's. Put in the coil, fill with juice, and just replace the coil when it doesn't taste good any more. If you want to graduate from that to something else, that's fine. But if you're like me, at first, you just want a reliable, hassle-free vape, so you don't go back to cigs.

Good luck!

I am still getting confused to make a choice, joyetech AIO seems to be an option which is affordable and where I can use own liquid as well. Does Joytech AIO produce good amount of vapor, and can someone suggest me a good vapor producing e liquid with 6-7% nicotine, preferably tobacco flavor. Also any reliable online stores to buy them..

 

[androiduserp]

Oh, you want MTL. I would suggest the Aspire Zelos kit that comes with the Nautilus 2 tank. It's a good "starter" MTL tank and you will be able to choose your own juice as well as internal battery which can be helpful at first.

Other setups to recommend might be an Eleeaf Istick Pico starter kit, which can come with an internal battery or a removable one. The internal battery comes with a Melo II tank and the external comes with a Melo III which is a slightly more airy tank than the Melo II. Both (I think) can use different coils than the ones supplied and it's a nice, versatile first choice that won't break the bank.

Some folks (especially if you'd like a "stick" style battery really like the T18 kit or the T22 kit. This is fixed wattage, so it's slightly less versatile in terms of being able to adjust the wattage, but many people enjoy them, especially the attached tanks which are good MTL tanks. Keep in mind that most tanks can be moved on to different "mods" or batteries, so even if you don't get exactly what you want in a starter kit, you can switch tanks/mods.

As far as e-liquid if there is a vape store near you that does tasting, that will help you find flavors you like, and many e-liquid online companies will sell "sample" kits so you can try a variety of flavors.

Best of luck,

Anna

thank you but which one would produce more vapor? do you any more suggestions which would produce more vapor and last long and what e liquid with tobacco flavor with 6-7% nicotine would you suggest, also any reliable online store to buy?

When you ask about more vapor are you asking about cloud production or lung hit?

cloud production

 

[Letitia]

cloud production

Not going to get much cloud with mtl tanks. I can't make myself recommend a device that doesn't let you control wattage, so I'm can't be of help.

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

Thank you, I am from USA in houston,tx. How long would usually a coil last in joyetech. Probably I would vape 2 ml per day

Prob 3 weeks or better, but it would depend on your ejuice and power level. Darker, sweeter juices like desserts, tobacco and some with lots of sweetner tend to wear a coil out faster.

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

cloud production

You can get more cloud production by upping the vg in the ejuice but not too much because it takes longer to wick because its thicker. So a good place to start would be a 50/50 pg/vg mix. That will serve you well.

If you look at the top of any page within ecf you will see a link for 'suppliers'. These companies all have forums here at ecf and usually offer some sort of discount for their products. Give it a look pick 1 or 4 and look at what they offer at their websites.

I know all of this is overwhelming at first. But it does get easier and you can always ask here at ecf. Always someone here 24/7/365.

I was just looking at joyetech ego aio but there are different models in it as well, so which one would be best one..

Only you know the answer to that question. Watch some youtube reviews and read some reviews.

And to further confuse you-- just kidding. But I did find another slant on the type of ecig you are looking for.

Joyetech eGo ONE V2 Starter Kit

There are 2 sizes and the tanks actually come off of these. Of the 2 I recommend this one over the aio. These tanks I actually use and love. I use a Pico battery. One reason I feel this may be a better choice is that since the tanks are apart from the battery you can also use them on any other type of mod you desire to. So(as an example) if the battery dies( and at some point it will. nothing lasts forever) then you can move the tank to a new mod, no fuss. Just have a look and ask questions here or at their site it you have any.

 

[suprtrkr]

Hi and welcome. For a new starter who knows they want MTL, try a Pico25 and a Nautilus tank. It isn't pen style, but it isn't big either, and it is removable battery, which is a big plus.

There are a few AIO Joyetechs. The basic one is the eGo AIO.

As I have said, I don't recommend it often because you can't control the power. No control means when it works well, it's great, but if you start burning the coils or your liquid doesn't suit it, then you have a very frustrating device.
I don't think the Penguin works properly with the 0.6ohm (as in, unfit for purpose, shouldn't really be on sale).
The 'old' eGo ONE range has it's fans - I use some of those tanks on mods, yes.

The gold standard for a long time has been a box mod with a Nautilus tank. These days there is a Nautilus 2. With a proven tank and controllable power, you should have a reliable device. If you go for an AIO as your only device, expect some moments of trouble.

Super online store is Totally Wicked. Been buying from the since January, 2012. Great, reliable source. Call them and get sound advice, too.

I have the D22 also. It's newer but probably as good as most. As with all vaping equipment, you have to learn the devices quirks. GL and welcome to the forum.

I guess you'll find out soon enough. I won one but didn't vape it at all because I thought it might be a decent option to give to a never vaper, so I can't say much about how it vapes. A bit flimsy for my taste (but I drop stuff all the time). I hope you enjoy it and that it works well for you however.

Just keep in mind that sometimes finding one's vaping sweet spot takes some time. You may love it and that's great. If not, hopefully you'll try some other suggestions, but I have nothing BAD to say about that kit, really, since I wanted to keep it for someone new I encountered exactly in your shoes-- in need of a starter setup, which it certainly is.

Good luck,

Anna

Anna,
I did look up at some of your suggestions but they seemed little expensive, I am not sure about how good and reliable the choice I made are, but if you have any other options for me I would like to consider them as well, SMOK has less reliable coils so I dropped it off. also just curious to know, what happens if I use a DL as MTL with little drags?
