Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[Kenna]

That's what really counts! Kudos...

And yes, I agree with the istick TC40W and nautilus BVC topper setup. Recommended that combo earlier, in that's what I use daily and am very pleased with the no-fuss operation and performance.

I still use my nautilus' with my iSticks, too.

 

[2legsshrt]

Well I just wrapped my first spaced Kanthal coil. 28awg 3mm 7 wraps 1.5 ohms on a STM. I've never tried spaced on Kanthal with TC everything is spaced but I heard about doing spaced with Kanthal and it does work better much better.

 

[Kenna]

yep, I've still got your suggestions written down. The hard part ere is finding all the bits in stock, and then teaching myself, not understanding the settings.
It was between an I stick tc40, nautilus bvc tank and this is saying nautilus coils. That'd be 1.5 atomizers?
The other was an innoken coolfire4 plus with i subtank and innoken coils, that does mean atomizer, doesn't it? Does that sub stand for subohm? The users manual must address settings? Plus, I've had a very kind offer of assistance, although it will be long distance. I still foresee button toggling hell, with numbers I don't have a clue about, but if you guys have used them, and think I can do this without ohms law under my belt, I'm just gonna order on payday. Which one? Biggest thing for me is really easy draw. Don't think I'm ready for messing with seperate batteries. I need to keep it simple. Big tank. And thanks, all, I'm just nervous about making the leap. I might just look for the easier tutorial video.

The iSub will be an easier draw because it is a subohm tank. Idk if they have higher ohm coils available for it. The tank will work on most batteries 40 watts or above. The Nautilus have a tighter draw.

Most all has been well covered

Yes, the words coils, atomizers and heads all represent the same thing (sort of), the actual part that has the coil that gets hot. Some minor variations in precise meaning, but the terms have come to be used pretty much interchangeably.

Technically, all atomizers and heads have coils ( or they don't get hot! ), but different web sites will call the same thing by any of the names. (And even many "blister pack" atomizers can be rebuild by making a new coil and wick for them. Don't toss your old ones, just rinse well in lots of running hot water, air dry a day or so, and start a baggie for them. You may decided at some time in the future to rebuild.)

My computer skills aren't so great, either, I think I just responded as an edit, lol

Heck, we've all done that

 

[Iffy]

And if you end up with the Nautilus make sure you order the BVC heads.

For the Nautilus, absolutely purchase the BVC (bottom vertical coil)! The ol' BDC (bottom dual coil) is not near as good as the BVCs.

There is nothing wrong with the iStick. Everyone I know that has tried it has liked it. I skipped over it because I went straight to replaceable batteries. It has always bothered me that when it gets to the point it wont charge anymore you have to throw the mod out. I would much rather just buy a new battery and recycle the old one. It is a personal preference thing.

With the VTC Mini and the Kbox mini you put an 18650 in it but then you can handle it just like an iStick and USB charge the battery right in the mod. Not have to muck with taking it out until you need to replace the battery.

I will say the battery is much easier to get OUT of the VTC mini than the KBox mini as the VTC has sort of a pull tab to help you. Neither is particularly hard.

Yep the Istick works well in VW mode but it isn't as good as the Joyetech board in TC. Jtech isn't perfect but it works real well with Ti once you get used to having to set it higher like 500

 

[Myrany]

That Smok TFV4 tank with the clapton coil in it has some of the best flavor I have ever had in a tank. BUT in order to cool it adequately I have to run it full open on the bottom and I run it closed on the drip tip. It is PAINFULLY airy. The real thing that made me not like it is the leaking. Right after you fill it it leaks BAD out the airholes until it builds up a vaccuum. The eliquid that leaks is HOT. I have burned myself by it leaking all over my hand.

 

[garyoa1]

See, I don't like a warm vape. Don't like airy, either. Mouth to lung here. Which is why I got used to the I30 and never switched. (yeah, the tank everyone loves to hate) Yes I tried the kayfun and nautilus and russian and 9,747.2 others. None worked for me.
Sub? TC? No reason to try. I'm content. Just seems to me it would be naturally warmer. Exactly what I'm looking to avoid.

 

[3mg Meniere]

I just realized that once I graduated from egos, I have never had a mod with a built-in battery. ALL replaceable. Never made any sense to buy anything else. The option of having both options is attractive, but I am already satisfied.

Hello Porchers it's been a while ... again. First post on this new thread. I see Mike still doing a good job keeping the thread going. Still vapin still using the same old gear. Like garyoa1 found what made me happy and stuck to it. Provari kayfun V2 and DYI juice and no nicotine. Hope everyone is healthy.

It HAS been a long time. Glad to see your return.

a kind soul from the porch is forwarding all the way to au an I stick 40 with nautilus. Including extra coils, jeez. What generousity! The pay it forward is alive and well, above and beyond. I was just about paralysed with indesicion. So, it's a real blessing, and my thanks. Hope I can do the same eventually, but not with these vaporfi things. I can quit spinning my wheels, thank goodness.

Best news ever. You deserve a much better experience than you've had. That iStick and Nautilus will do everything you need and be so much simpler than what you've been trying to do.

 

[2legsshrt]

I bet I know who that is. One of the nicest. @Myrany what kind of a coil do you have in that Smok? If it's a subohm you might try a 1.5 lots cooler.

 

[2legsshrt]

@Vape? you are gonna love it.

 

[2legsshrt]

@Myrany I take it that Smok doesn't have a juice control. Seem like a must have for topfill tanks. I don't have any but have heard that from others.

hi Vape

If you're in Australia then I buy hardware at Vaping Supplies and Australian Vaping Liquids

pre-made juice can be bought from many places over seas thats more a thing of finding which company makes juices you like so its an individual thing.

If you're wanting to make juice then I get flavours from Perfumer's Apprentice

Nic from my freedom smokes

Yes vapor Fi are no good , too high priced and i found their juices some of the worst I've had.

Thanks, I don't think that's shown up at all during my search. Not really wanting to set up a juice lab. Although, I am finding I need to switch it up a bit. I'm menthol, so I Ve got a bit added to everything, but so far not an all day. Maybe just the nature of vaping? I keep trying different brands and flavours, but the $$$ shipping, and I think they must be using a row boat. Some are less than tasty, lol.
