Please advise @ a new "rig" (same style or as close as possible of my 900 man VV battery n glass 2.5 ml glass tank) I need! mos. Quit smoking, literally, overnight; after the ordered basic Ego starter kit from them, actually 5 mos. 2 weeks ago. Can't vape other popular juices, prob. not enough power? I don't know hence PLEASE HELP! Joined here last month but looked at it before joing. You all have been sooo helpful with lots of things. I am so grateful. Other liquids don't work well AT ALL via these, more $ wasted ;'( Please advise (don't want to go with "box mod/ battery" I'm so agitated re: this! I need something that people who "review" use n be able to relate to what I'm using (I know ya'll use or prefer different different rigs). Limited funds tho but nor being able to " taste my juice" etc. is making me CRAZY! Is the Aspire nautilus Starter kit a good choice? It seems like same... 1000 may, where I have 900 man battery that's not working for me with . Sorry 4 novel. Social Workers long winded n not a field 2 make the big bucks, so limited funds. Please advise... Here u all are very good at passing on knowledge unselfishly and with knowledge. Thanx

Ummm... little confused about what you are using that ain't working. One possibility is it's just a case of vaper's tongue. Largely during the first year, for unknown reasons, people can go through repeated bouts where their capacity to taste liquids just goes flat. It can also be induced by using flavors that put your system on overload - extreme cinnamon's and "ice" flavors - that deaden your sense to taste to those liquids and anything else in the process. If this is the case you need to lay off any overkill flavors you may be using and just vape through it until it passes.

Really need to know more about what you are currently using - both the hardware and the flavors/liquids you cannot taste. "2.5 ml glass tank" could be anything so not about to recommend changing to a Nautilus until we know what "2.5 ml glass tank" actually is.

If I understand you correctly, you have some type of ego/clearomizer setup that is just not giving you a satisfying vape. You want to upgrade to something with more power, but it needs to be cheap, and you don't want any kind of box type mod.

I would suggest an iStick/Natilus combo, but that's a small box type mod.

You might check out some of the variable voltage ego type batteries.

The only other option I know of would be a regulated tube mod. Maybe someone can name you some cheap ones.

EDIT: Something like an iTaste VV 4 might be an option to check out also, if you want that stick/tube style.

And the 2 of you can use the same liquid 2? I've not have luck with juices that are readily reviewed.... I mean disgusting and not close to descriptions? I can't afford 2 make anymore mistakes??? So regular 50/50 AV/PG, PV/PG ( that's not even the. Point...) Juices from pop. sites mentioned here in the forum? How quickly do the coils/ wicks, atomizers, whatever have 2 b changed?

When I started, my taste buds were pretty damaged. Change came in a month, but full change was a bit longer. Stronger or more blatant flavors worked good. Complex flavors were not tasted.

The iStick 30w is good and in-expensive. Protank 2s are only about $12 each. More tanks are good in case of breakage or so you can have multiple flavors ready to go.

Hope helps

No, I absolutely don't want "cheap"! But well made. e.g. the Provari @ over $200, not on the game plan... I use a 900mah VV battery with a glass bdc coil. My cousin works for a huge Vape Co. "Giant Vapes". They are basically a "vendor" even after 3 months of steeping, they were impossible 2 smoke AT ALL (so many liquids now r made for hobby mods or... Whatever not a regular 510 900 man VV battery n bdc glass tank? Thank u so for guidance :). The i sticks I see tend to b either flat )like rectangle/ flat not round or box mods. I just don't like the feel of box mods? :(

The Eleaf istick 30 is small and has enough power to run tanks or drippers well. About $32 bucks. You can get an Eleaf Gs air tank for less than $10 that will also perform great. No need to spend a lot of money. I don't know what juices you have tried but like was mentioned before, Vape Wild has good juice at low prices. I hear ITC does too but I haven't tried them. Both of these have about the best prices for quality juice with quality ingredients. Mount Baker Vapor also has a lot of followers. I find that fruit flavors won't gunk a coil up as quick as some of the desserts or coffees. As far as how long will a coil head last, my wife has 2 Kanger T3S's with 1 year old coils in them and they vape as good as new. If you run the right power and keep them clean they last a lot longer. You can also replace the wick material if it gets burned. You sound like a friend of mine who has tried vaping with an ego kit on her own but just doesn't fully understand how it works and isn't getting what she could from it if she had someone to guide her a bit.

I've yet to have a problem with the Emow (mega).
For e juice try mt. baker vapor or wild vapes. Great prices and selection. I agree having multiple tanks is a must, but avoid plastic tanks. Always glass or pyrex. And once you have adjustable airflow, it's tough to enjoy tanks without it.
Take the plunge and enjoy.
If you're anything like most, you'll probably want an upgrade regardless what you decide to buy from here..,.lol

I like the Kanger T3s for vaping tobacco flavors. As far as inexpensive tanks, I would suggest the Eleaf GS air (under $10). It doesn't have leaking problems and has great flavor and vape. It was made for the istick. The new Eleaf Melo sounds like a great tank to go with the istick 30w. If you are interested in the istick and tanks go to this site and post. You can find the best prices

If I understand your post correctly, getting screwed on juice is part of the game unfortunately. I have tried juice for at least 20 different companies, and 90% of them are disgusting. Some brands I have had 100% bad luck with....all flavors were nasty (vaporfi, good life) some had amazing flavor on one, nasty on 5 others (space jam).....unfortunately there is no other way around it. You are going to hear 100 people praise a juice, you buy it, and it tastes like absolute ...... It's the name of the game unfortunately.
