@Vape? I was looking and a place right there that seems to have their prices on stuff pretty much in line considering they are in au dollars is vapeking.com.au. I just checked a couple of things like the Kanger STM and they have it for $44 au and here it is $29 so if you figure au-us $1=75cents thats pretty close. I bet shipping from them would be cheap for you too.

What a rotten way to get introduced to vaping. Well live and learn.

I know but if you look at their equipment it is all stuff from other places like Smok and Kanger. I told her it's not the one she has but it is definately a KangerSTM. Not sure where or who made the stuff she has but read some of those reviews and you'll see that their stuff is exactly the same as other manufacturers, not clones but the exact product. One guy even went as far as to say it looked like they had shaved the name off and put theirs on. She doesn't have the Volt atomizer I don't think that's the first one I noticed but there is something real familiar about there products. Like I say google (vaporfi reviews)
I agree, this is a bad way for a beginner to be introduced to vaping. There should be a special place in hades for people who do this to vapers or anyone for that matter.

Well I read the user manual for the edge and I can see why your confused. I don't understand how is changes wattage but is supposed to get 100w out of an 1800mAh battery. I take it it checks the resistance and sets itself somehow. It's all Greek to me. Apparently it automagically adjusts the watts to your atomizer. I wonder what it is putting out with the .2 atomizer. Must be a pretty hot vape. Definately a lot different stuff then I am familiar with.

From what I can tell it does not do anything but deliver battery voltage like a mech does. It has some protection so it say's and some led's to let you know when its time to charge your battery. Not something I would recommend to anyone.

Yeah I think I understand it puts out the wattage that is possible max amount for what battery is left and the resistance of the atty so probably the only place it gets 100w is with the .2 coil. Like what Busardo shows on his charts with mods claiming to be 100w but it is only possible with certain resistance. Not a good place for a beginner it is going to put out the max wattage possible with what every you are using you have no control over it if you want a cooler vape. Just a mech like the other. Hell of a price for a mech but they sure make it sound like it is so advanced.

Also Google VaporFi reviews. A lot of stuff there mostly, I hate to say it, BAD.
Oh no, I've got like 600? Dollars worth of gear from them that I can't return. Some still in the packaging. Darn it oh well. No more vaporfi, but I'm stuck with it for now.,grrrrr

I have ordered from them, they are a good company. But for this changeover to Vw, I'm much more comfortable being taught how to use it. She had a fair few under 100 au. So it'll be a one time deal. She ships stuff as well. It's the being shown part that I need that makes the trip worthwhile. After that, except for nicotine,and I'll still need vaporfi for atomizers, but, I can stop paying so much for shipping. I'll have to check the Nic situation in NZ, they are much closer, and it might be a lot faster. If you want to look, 2 legs, her website is rightchoicevapes.com.au. They shut down their shop and operate from home now. I just don't want to make another mail order mistake. I've got too much riding on it to take risks.

That looks like a very decent site. Have a good visit.

When you go, take your current Vaprofi gear. She may have atomizers that will fit. If so, likely at a much better price!

@Vape? From what Legs research has shown, you don't have 600.00 "worth" of gear. You have maybe 200.00 "worth" that you paid 600.00 for. They are apparently ripoff & scam artists.

If what @2legsshrt is saying is indeed the case, those tanks are actually not a Vaporfi product, but Kanger products or clones, repackaged as Vaporfi. Take one of each, with empty tanks with you when you go see her. She can check those tanks to see if they use Kanger coils. If so, you can save a lot of money by not buying coils from Vaporfi.

... and see if you can work out a partial trade/discount with the packaged items. (?)

I don't think that will work Vaporfi won't take them back & they are packaged as Vaporfi products. Probably Alibaba clones. But she might be able to get higher ohm coils from her new friend.
