So like an idiot i ordered a Kanger Nano tank and an Eleaf iStick 50W online then went straight to my local vape shop to get some new juice and seen that they had these laying out and i couldn't resist so I wound up buying an Eleaf 30W and a Kanger Mini tank. When I first opened it I was like well I won't start right off at thirty so i took it down to 25W.....and OMG I coughed for a good 5 mins.....but it seemed like after that everything was great I love it and I can't put it down woke up this morning and hit it first thing and still no issues. IDK what i'm gonna do with the other stuff when it gets here but I guess we will see. If anyone out there is looking for a good setup with lots of throat hit and big clouds I would HIGHLY recommend this for you I am also using the SpaceJam Astro 18mg again another great product only downside i would say is that I wish SpaceJam, or atleast the vape shop would sell it in bigger bottles because with the size of this tank i am using almost a full bottle of it which means i'm going to either have to start buying it in bulk or make a trip to the shop every week or so if anyone knows where i can get bigger bottles please let me know KEEP ON VAPIN

Glad you're loving it! I just got an iStick 30W yesterday, and I think it's awesome. I'm using mine at closer to 7 watts instead of 25, haha, but still good.

It's funny how folks evolve in this hobbyhabit. So many options and everyone gets to choose their vape nirvana. Pretty awesome.

I've completely moved away from high watt/low resistance over the last 6 months. I seem to be totally satisfied with maintenance vaping 6.5-7.5 watts with kanger 1.5ohm enclosed wick duals. I mix my own juice so flavor is never a problem. I've regressed back to simpleton land and love it.

I'm glad I have a box of kayfuns and drippers in case regulations screw everything up but for now I'm on cruise control with no wrapping required.
 
I recently bought a istick 30w and i am enjoying it alot better with a sub ohm kanger tank then my mvp2.0 its like night and day difference. I enjoy it so much i have all but cut out analogs at this point. I just need a enjoyable juice to match up with it and i think i will naturally progress to having 0 analogs quite soon. I currently run mine at 19.2w 5.0v (1.2 ohm coil). But the 0.5 coils are much better! Great flavor with my kanger sub ohm tank.

Makes me wish i got the 50w. This little thing is amazing.

Hi smiller8809 and welcome to the forum!

More toys = more fun and more choices :)

Seriously, though, backups are a good thing. Glad you're enjoying your vaping journey :toast:

Happy Vaping!

Yes, high watts doesn't necesarily mean good flavor.

Couldn't agree more. It seems the higher that I go in W, the warmer the vape, bigger clouds with more juice and battery consumption, while the flavor stays the same. I'll stick with 15W, but that's my preference. I don't care about clouds. I want a flavorful and cool vape that's easy on the wallet.

That would explain why with the Subtank Mini, I was using just over 4 ml of juice a day while with the Nautilus Mini, I am using about 3 ml a day.

^ Those guys are right you know. I vape at 5W at it works wonder without compromising the experience.

I use Hana Modz DNA 40 and KangerTech Protank 3, which has roughly 2.0 resistance and I mostly use light & thin juices.

Just go experience and find a good Wattage of your preference. Since you can't put it down, you will have plenty of experiments. =D

Translation of what I just read from an experienced point of view. :) Bought online, got the vape mail blues. Impulse bought a box mod. First hit was a dry hit (didn't let the cotton get saturated) after the wick was saturated, it was a great vape. the cotton hasn't gotten dry since, so it's all good.

I think you'll like the kanger nano and eleaf just as well. You'll probably put the nano on the eleaf 30, since it won't overhang on the edge like your mini does. You'll find they both will taste the same, since they use the exact same coils. both devices put out enough power. The 30W will be more pocketable, but the 50w will last you longer. I say keep both, since they will both have their uses. I use a Sigeli 100w at home, and an Istick 20 while travelling (when I get it back... right now it's loaned out).

I have the istick 30 and STM and am using the RBA with the supplied .5 ohm (Istick reads it at 0.6ohm) build and I love it. I use more juice than I did with my nauti mini but I went from 12 nic down to 6. I also take much shorter pulls but I get 10 times the flavor and cloud. I found my sweet spot to be 17 watts and I don't like it much past 20 watts.

I still do the high watts, but I'm much the same way. After more than a year of vaping and having a nice collection of RDAs and RTAs I now do 99% of my vaping using a Nautilus with 1.6ohm BVC coils at 19 watts. The flavor is close to the same as my Kayfuns with a fraction of the hassle. If a coil stops working as it should or the flavor goes off I just pop a new coil in, saturate it with juice, prime it, and I'm ready to go on about my day as normal.

The thing that really made me stop using my RTAs was having the flavor go off while I was at work. It's not easy to carry two full Kayfuns with you everywhere and it really sucks having to suffer through 4-6 hours at the job with a burnt tasting wick before you can get home and rebuild it. Carrying a single spare Nautilus coil and a small bottle of juice is easy though. Still like my RTAs, but not as much as I like hassle free vaping.
