Vaping Help

[Yepix]

I have been considering getting a vape for quite a while now.
Note: I am a complete amateur at this, so any help would be great
I have had a ego twist with variable voltage that broke a while back and have had a few cheap disposable these past couple months.

I want to upgrade, so I am considering the following, I have a budget of about 200$, for the mod, tank and the e juice I have listed.

I do not need a large tank like the Aspire Nautilus, I prefer the mini tank.
Mod: Innokin ITaste MVP v2 Black ( Comes with iClear30)
Tank:Aspire Nautilus Mini (BVC, with 9 extra coils that I will purchase) +$30
E Juices
EPuffer Valerian Root - To relax at night $30
Virgin Vapor Organic Mint Tingle E Liquid 30 mL $20
Vipor Vapor Watermelon 30 mL -18.99

Total for extra coils and ejuices: $100.00

Do you guys have any recommendations?
Can anybody post links to fasttech for the latest genuine version of the MVP?
How long do these coils usually last?
How can I make them last longer?
Thank you guys in advance

Sounds great i would say get a couple of more tanks sometimes you can find the nautilus minis cheaper or the full size ones but i would buy a pack of nautilus aspire bvc coils they are much better quality but that is just my opinion.

 

[Yepix]

Yeah I was going to buy 9 or so extra BVC coils for the mini, which already includes two BVC coils.
I don't need a bigger tank. It would be useful I guess, but it is not a necessity.

The mod already comes with iClear30 in case I need another tank.

+1 on the MVP v2 and the mini Nautillus with the new BVC's (bottom vertical coils).

You do not need to go to FastTech to get a MVP. Most online stores sell them for $40 shipped. Check out 101Vapes.

Also check out the vendors where you will be purchasing eliquid. They may also carry the MVP for $40 as well.

I see you suggested the Eleaf iStick to another new member, would you recommend it over the MVP v2?

Thank you for the help, I will be checking out the e juice providers as well.

Would you happen to know how long the coils last/how I can make them last longer?
Edit: Checked out the ejuice providers, no such luck.
Guess I'll be buying it from 101Vapes.

Also found the Nautilus Mini there + replacements for much cheaper, thank you.

Hey let me say this MVP 2 are nice but when the battery inside runs flat and wont recharge youll have to toss it
I recommend the lavatube v2 by volcano ecigs with 18650 battery
or the e-Lvt mod by firestone with and 18650 battery
both incredibly nice mods with the feature of replaceing the battery down the road and better then the mvp 2 in my opinion

Hard to say. I own 4 MVP's and they are wonderful. The iStick is very new to the market (within the last 2 months). I have not purchased one yet - but probably will.

1. The MVP is sturdier but only goes up to 11 watts (which is fine for a non-rebuildable tank)
2. The iStick is smaller and goes up to 20 watts (most non-rebuildables don't have the airflow to support going that high). The one exception may be the mini Nautilus with the new bottom vertical coils. I saw one reviewer take it up to 17-18 watts with no dry hits.
3. They both have similar features (long battery life, safety protection, pass through vaping).
4. They both will allow you to enter the rebuildable world safety (you can build a coil down to 1.0ohms.)
5. They both are similarly priced.
6. The MVP accepts both ego cone threading & 510 threading, the iStick only has 510 threading (but they do include a 510 to ego adapter).

Time will tell how well the new iStick holds up. So far, I have heard nothing but positive things about both of these mods.

The e-Lvt mod is not bad, but its 70$, and I have to buy batteries + a charger on top of that.

The Lavatube isn't a bad choice either, but I only have a 100$ budget for the mod and tank, the other 100 is for ejuice and coils.

I guess I'll stick to the MVP for now.

 

[tHypno]

The elvt comes with a charger, it can be charged as a pass through
it has a sidedoor with imput and output slots

 

[tHypno]

E-lvt 65-70$
Kanger areotank mega kit with 2 coils 29.95$or nautilus mini 35$Or protank 2 20$
18650 batt 15-20$
and all your leftover cash juice and coils?
I reccomend EPIC ejuice

 

[Yepix]

If it comes with a charger, does it also come with a battery?

My old ego twist had a protank, no thank you.

I dislike the gurgling + leakage it had.

 

[sketchness]

I would recommend doubling your coil purchase. My Nautilus likes to burn through coils at a fast clip. every 3-4 days if I am running a high VG juice. As far as the extra wattage on the iStick it would seem to be perfect for running something like a kayfun\fogger rebuidable.

My household owns one, and it's pretty nice. You can find a good deal on them, ~$35 or less shipped. The battery life is comparable to the MVP (2200 mAh vs. 2600 for the MVP, either of which should last a full day at least). It is new, and it's held up so far. It will "hit harder" (significantly in some cases) than the MVP, even set at the same wattage/voltage.

The iStick has a few advantages, one being that it will be useful longer, if you decide you'd like to get into rebuildable atomizers, or if you decide you like more vaping power (watts). It can provide up to 20 watts, whereas the MVP only goes up to 11. The iStick is smaller, really about the size of 2 Bic lighters side-by-side. I think it's also a little more ergonomic, with a fire-button on the side, rather than on the wider face, like the MVP.

That being said, it's also newer and less tested. MVPs have lasted several folks a year+. I expect the iStick will hold up, but nobody is quite certain at this point. I will say, it's a nice little device that I personally would purchase over the MVP, but I've never owned an MVP.

ETA: It probably won't come with a charger (there are several "kits" available, most of which don't include the charger). It takes a micro-USB. I found one at a local cheapo store for $3.

The e-lvt dose not come with a battery but you save money because you dont have to buy a charger
Did I also mention that its a strong durable mod made out of steal? Very tuff gose up to 15 watts or 6 volts very big bang for your buck

 

[Freshscissors93]

Look in to the Tesla vv/vw kit. A lot of vendors sell these regulated mods with charger, 2x2200 mah batteries and a cheapo tank for $60. They sweet looking devices too! I've been using this for about a year and it's been through a lot. The less wires and things going on in the inside the better.(comparing internal batteries of course.)

Damn, I really don't know what to get now, still leaning torwords the MVP, but I'm not certain anymore.

Since I only have a budget of 200$ and I want the current e juices, I'm stuck with only 100$.

How hard is it to rebuild the Nautilus coil?

Is dry burning a good idea?
What about soaking it in vodka/water overnight?

I completely understand the budget, it's a tough line to walk. That said, perhaps you could find a deal on eliquid here? http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/pay-forward-pif/418767-deals-steals-237.html

I can't give advice about the nautilus coils, unfortunately, but I'm sure many will be able to.

 

[Yepix]

Thank you for that.I shall look at the rest of the list tomorrow, going to bed now.

MVP 2 is reliable as hell and simple... with the Nautalis it's an insane set-up... make sure you get the BVC coils and add a couple drops of e juice on the coil 2 prime it properly and don't overtighten it snugs just fine...

I rebuild the aspire coils. They're a bit tedious being two small coils. Fun once you get the hang of it though. DONT DRY BIRN THESE COILS! They can leave a nasty burnt taste for the life of the coil. Prime it out first with your preferred juice first! Check out the video by rip trippers on you tube. He's a bit of a trip, but non the less helpful and accrurate.
