Hi Everyone!

I am a noob here and to serious vaping. I am now on 10 days of no cigarettes. I smoked for 33 years. I had tried vaping in the past but always cheated and fell off the wagon. I'm making it this time- I've not cheated at all.

My setup:

Aspire Atlantis and Aspire BDC tanks
Aspire Sub Ohm batteries (2)

I am picky when it comes to juice- I've found most don't taste anything like what they are supposed to.

Flavors I like-

Crazy Vapors Candy Apple
Crazy Vapors Banana
Atmos Island Rum- tastes just like Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum

I actually think I prefer the BDC over the Atlantis- the draw is more like smoking a cigarette. The flavor is better with the Atlantis, but it seems a bit harsh. I don't cough at all with the BDC.

I found out the hard way about battery safety. I bought a battery from my local shop- the case was made of brass. The coil shorted in my BDC and the battery case got super hot super fast. It actually burned my finger. I'm sticking with the Sub Ohm batteries- they have short circuit protection.

Any advice is welcome.

Hey mate, welcome!

That's a pretty great story -- sincerely glad you got out of it OK without making the local news.

If I'm correct -- and I'm often not -- the battery Eigate is selling for the atlantis basically has zero voltage control, and is essentially a sealed mech mod with a fuse. As budget allows, I'd take a look at a decent box mod in the same price range that'd allow you to lower the intensity of the vape depending on the eliquid you're using or just what you prefer. Other's might have suggestions on PG/VG ratios that seem to vape well with it to help mellow out the harshness.
