New to vaping

[djsvapour]

Going to give it a go. Will check out uk prices as we seem to get charged a premium

Now you tell us! Welcome.

We do get charged a premium, but don't forget most of the vendors that google comes up with are all over-charging and fake discounts on facebook are soon coming to an end as it'll be illegal quite soon.

What ever you are after someone (possibly me) will know the prices.
If I vape at high power (not very often) I just use a dripper, so I can't help with tanks above 50w.

Of course, the pressing issue for UK vapers is the TPD. I am now totally self-sufficient for liquid and could survive any issues with tanks or coils that start to appear.

My co-workers made a new fancy coil every day, it was a hobby to them. That wasn't my thing. My simple coils worked just as good as their exotic coils.

You mean a quad-copter-alien-fused-micro-clapton doesn't actually vape better?

A what ?

I don't particularly like making coils. I worked in a vape shop where I had to be proficient in making coils. My co-workers made a new fancy coil every day, it was a hobby to them. That wasn't my thing. My simple coils worked just as good as their exotic coils.

oh i just try different cloud and power builds. Like how much coil at how many watts for how much cloud. No good building a huge coil if the mod wont fire it, right?

The fancier the coil, the more juice it traps, the more juice it traps, the better the flavor, the better the flavor the worse the cloud. Its kind of like a see-saw.. one goes up, the other goes down.

I think that's the way to go listening to you guys. I quick smoking to save money and health of course and started on the vape pens. I now enjoy the world of sub olm. But what I have realised is its quite expensive buying stock coils and liquid, especially as I'm burning coils and going through liquid like petrol in my car.

Yup. I can imagine.

Recently, I've been really going mad with my mixing, using some expensive flavors and not budgeting on things I like. Yesterdays mixing created some new (and mostly good) recipes.

I whipped up 100ml of Twister Lolly menthol for a work mate. He now owes me something which is £4.20. I might even accept a MacDonalds breakfast with a large coffee.

Ok so you seem to be stretching your wings a little, so I am going to start hammering this into your head right now. DO NOT buy re-branded batteries. Stick to Sony, Samsung, and LG. The big 3. And I will bet nearly every vaper here will tell you the exact same thing. Don't skimp on the batteries and buy a good quality charger!

Here is one reason why... Lets use Samsung 18650, 2500mah 20A for example.
so you go to your local shop and pay $12.oo for one. Not sure what the pounds conversion is. And you go to a web site and get a re-branded 18650, 2500mah 20A, get it in the mail, peel off the re-branded label and it says.. Samsung 18650, 2500mah, 20A.
Same battery at half the price?
NO!
Those are actually batteries that failed samsungs quality testing for some reason. Now they are great for flashlights, but.. not so much for a mod. And for the sake of $6.00 why take a chance?

That's a deal he can't refuse. Is it easy to to make your own liquids. It definitely cheaper

Yeah I was going to buy a new mod at the end of the month I did some research on the battery side of things they all said the same as you. Don't buy rebranded

OH it gets worse. There is a thread on youtube with over 300 posts. The video is about how to get cheap batteries by breaking about old laptop battery packs. Now the guy in the video was through about it, testing every battery, charging, retesting, and labeling each one according to how many volts fully charged, how many mah and how many amps. Might be ok for a flashlight. Then the comments.. which got around to "Can you use these to vape".. so you have 3 idiots saying yeah sure, go ahead, they are fine, no problem, and 50 other people saying ARE YOU NUTS???

One big reason, is those batteries were never intended to be used as singles, and were not designed to be used as singles. That came right from Sony. The internal chemistry was made to work with 6 or 8 or whatever other identical cells. But you always have "That Guy" that knows more than Sony.. because "I am a 2 year student at an ITC". LOL I replied, you wasted your tuition, change courses, in 2 years you haven't even learned about batteries.

I found the post.. read the comments. LOL Ummm i am not really gentle about telling those clowns not to recommend dangerous batteries.


and again DO NOT DO THIS!

By the way.. look at his labels.. 3.4v, 3.6v.. Vape batteries should read 4.2v when fully charged. This drops over time. You should recharge at 3.4 to 3.2v. So a fully charged battery at 3.6v is garbage to begin with.

if it's not a decent telly brand... it's a crap battery... ironic isn't it?

trust me, the car is cheaper...

basically for sub ohming if you get a mod that has an external battery.. there is one or two good batteries... I use LG H2 20A 3000MaH, if you look at one of the several posts talking about batteries recently it's the brown one in the pic... I'm pretty sure the others can be named right quick lol. these batteries are made to take the hard draws from the subs

btw G... thevaporist based out of montreal has the lgs for 10.99, got mine in 3 days from order.

I seen the LG batteries you was talking about as well as the Samsung. I'm looking at getting a SMOK Cube 2. To be honest not sure what the best mod would be as I can't see myself vaping at 200w

I know why they call it So Horney... I'm getting a bit of a chubby on looking at it. LOL LOL LOL

 

[Cheallaigh]

Whatever you like.. but just because the mod will do 200w, doesn't mean you have to do 200w on it. My next mod will be 300w, so I can do quad or hex coils on my Temple, it just needs that much power to heat that much wire. But that is me and I am building for clouds as a hobby. Its my thing. Some think it is stupid, others don't, its all about what you like to do and getting off the ciggies. Cloud building keeps me busy and busy means I am not thinking about smokes.

It's a beast. Give it a year and I'm moving onto that bad boy
