Low resistance = higher current at the same voltage = hotter coil = more vapour/throat hit

Also uses more battery. High resistance tends to last longer due to more twists in the heating coil, but doesn't burn as hot. It's a preference thing.

I understand now, Gonna try inbetween Low and High, so the inbetween Ohm option.

The Vision Ego Starter kit I ordered what Ohm resitance does that come with does anyone know and also what MG Juice? Lack of details on product description and it hasn't arrived just yet.

Which Cartomizer should I go with there's 5 Boge 10's for £6 that seems cheap?

What 510's would I be better off buying which are more than half decent and would they fit the Vision eGo.

Sorry if it seems like im repeating questions, once I get my hands on it im sure ill be fine!

Ye I think I better just go in. It's only a two min walk from my house. I thought you just put the liquid in and away you go

It is that simple You have to charge the batteries of course, but a kit with two batteries means this is never an inconvenience. The atomisers (the bit that heats the liquid into a vapour) do wear out after a few weeks, and different types have different benefits in terms of how harsh a hit they give or how much vapour, so you will want to try a few to find out which suits your preferences. They're very cheap to replace anyway.

There are a lot of proponetns of the boge cartos for their cheapness and effectiveness, although I haven't tried them myself. I like the smok mega dual coil (2 x 1.5ohm coils) cartos, but they are a bit pricier than the boge cartos (I get mine from e-cig wizard). Maybe pick up a pack of boge and a couple of the smok mega DC and see which you prefer?

I wouldn't worry too much about resistances of coils and things just yet, but I suspect the vision ego clearos will be about 2.4Ohm. You'll end up worrying about battery chemistries and other stuff soon! I see another person with shiny-itis in the making. All in good time

E: all 510/ego atties will fit those batteries. The ego fit atties with a skirt on them will look better, but they will perform the same as if they had a 510 fitting.

My wife and I are going to give this a go.

A friend of a friend can get this double packs for £20 £25 and £35

My friend said that there Chinese imports so it's got me thinking should I give these a miss and go to my local shop or should I get them and just buy the juice from my local?

Edit. Just drove past the shop near me and it's called vapeescape. So if I do give these chinese ones a miss what would be my best buy for around 30 quid each?

Go in the shop and Jason will set you up just right, he's been a trusted vendor for years and knows his stuff.

For more info on e-cig related kit, get on to either VTTV, UKVapers or AAEC forums, lots of peeps with plenty of knowledge and for the more high end kit like rebuildables, try the vapepit, vaporwall forums.

Devrij - I'll need to pick your brains probably next week for juices, which ones to try, where you get yours from, which nicotine dosage is best to start of with and to work my way down until I have 0% nicotine etc etc

I've come to face reality that I needed a decent vape machine. I know it may sound crazy but the provari 2 and SvoëMesto Kayfun will be more of an investment as it will give consistent, good quality vapes and will last for years.

I've got the Joytech Evic; Hyper 4 Atomizer; eGo-T Atomizer and HS Apple 24mg nicotine on the way and should be here next Tuesday. If that doesn't give me good hits then I'm just gonna go wild and get the other stuff instead at which point I'll need to talk about juices.

right it came today and I'm more than satisfied

The ego T atomizer is wack though, I've gone of their products but the Hyper 4 is amazing. I wish these things came with manuals how to fill them as I had to just guess.

I've upgraded to firmware 1.2 and left the evic on charge now, but had a cheeky vape with the juice and vaper was dense and thick, just how I like it.

However the juice is totally wrong (24mg) is too strong. I think there is a shop in Stockport which is close enough to me so I hope I can try out some juices.

But in the meanwhile Devrij which do you recommend as getting to a brick and mortor shop will be a difficult this week, so I'll order something online?

Cheers

If 24mg is too strong try 11mg or 18mg depending on how overpowering 24mg was for you. I mix mine up at about 12mg myself, although I miss the throat hit 18mg used to give

Any preference in flavours?

 

[aardvark]

what do people think of this one
http://www.vapeescape.co.uk/vape-escape-vision-1000-ultimate~397

i have had it for a couple of weeks and its good, but the whole area seems very complicated and i am wondering if you guys think it can be improved by changing any of the components?

 

[d_brennen]

I use a Vision V3 occasionally, it's good but I find the flavour dies off fairly quickly and the wick burns. It also uses juice fairly quickly from my non scientific observation. Replacing the heads for £2.50 a go is a nice bonus, just don't lose the silicon bungs/seals! I hear people go one step further and rewick/recoil these, really CBA with that.

The batteries the Vision uses are eGo type, so any eGo/510 atomiser/cartomiser will fit! I recommend Boge cartos (£1.20 ish each) and Smok Mega dual coil cartos (£2.50-3). These need to be replaced regularly. I usually vape Boge standard resistance cartos, last me a week unless it's a duffer. Less faffing about with a carto.

Have you cleaned the tank/atomiser/wick aardvark? Use warm water and allow to dry completely. Sometimes I notice the juice becoming darker in the tank which signifies the wick getting burnt/going off. Cleaning usually brings it back somewhat

No preference in flavours, I used to like watermemlon back in the day. I've just been advised that I can dilute my juice with glycerin BP which should lessen the throat hit.

 

[flinco]

So if I order this VH star kit, what else do I need to start vaping?

Just some juice of my choice?

thanks i'll take a look.
i haven't cleaned anything - i haven't had to replace an atomiser yet. Is it obvious when one is nearing the end of its life?? Does it just stop working?

 

[d_brennen]

The flavour will die down/go bad, you'll get less vapour and throat hit. It's a personal thing, you'll find your limits and when you need/want to change heads. Sometimes I surprise myself when changing a carto/attie head. The boost in flavour, hit and vapour is sometimes massive! Smok megas are great for instant satisfaction, but I find these go off quickly

 

[l33th3tr33]

What kind of budget do you have? If you want to go cheap, the lavatube is a great entry level piece of kit, or you could pick up an ego twist for even less.

If you want to go higher end, then you have the Vamo (linked a page or so ago)

The batteries for the Lavatube/Vamo are 18650 (with no nipple on them). You'll usually get a charger with them if you get a kit.

I don't want to spend a lot as I've already got a fair amount of kit but I'm more interested than anything else in the variable voltage mahoosive devices, I like my toys. So if I could get everything for around £60 then job's a goodun. I'm happy to add to that if needs be, I do like the look of the lavatube but the red and black website is laid out pretty poorly and it hurts my eyes so I refuse to look on there.

Yep I'm a big fan of the totally wicked gold standard liquids. They're very realistic (their real tabs liquid is a nice sweet "freshly opened marlboro packet smell" taste, but their fruity stuff is bang on)

No preference in flavours, I used to like watermemlon back in the day. I've just been advised that I can dilute my juice with glycerin BP which should lessen the throat hit.

I would rock some totally wicked honeydew melon, which is just awesome.

You could get the lavatube and everything else inside that budget. Although, you could almost get a Vamo if you stretched a bit further [/devilonshoulder]

The lavatube is a good piece of kit and a nice step up from the fixed voltage batts (I loved mine). The only thing they really lack compared to pricier alternatives is build quality.

ecigwizard seem a bit pricey for a lavatube http://www.ecigwizard.com/mods/variable-voltage/lavatube/

if you can't find one cheaper (beware of cheap knockoffs) then I would suggest picking up a couple 18650 IMR high drain batts (£12 on ecigwizard) and a Vamo from the horrible red and black site I got mine from for £32 (the stainless one is dearer, but for your budget the others are fine), then pick up a charger for another £5 and you're done.

 

[Gilbert89]

My kit has arrived, looking forward for a play around and to get vaping when home!
Roll on 5 o clock, will let you know how I go on.

 

[Twirlywoos]

Guess it depends? I never really checked how many drags I got out of a cig, but lets say maybe 10 drags a cig? That isn't so different from say 20-30 a day. I think I might take more puffs than that but I'm not really that interested. If the device I used told me I'd look but it wouldn't effect my usage.

I know some people use ultra high nicotine levels for times they can't vape a lot. Say when at work or travelling. I'm talking 45mg juice here.

Sorry missed this. When you put it into context then I guess you're probably right. I tend to vape less and take around 5 drags X10 a day. But more on weekends when I'm with mates.

I vape a lot less than smoking which is weird.

I just mixed some Boot's High Value Glycerol with my 24mg 100ml bottle so that I have 18mg nicotine, if that is too high then I'll continue to dilute the juice until I can take drags without it hurting my throat.

I'm going to stock more Glyceral as it was only £1.29 for 200ml if it turns out to taste/vape alright.

Well me and the wife just been to vapeescape bed bought two new e-cigs for £45 for the two. Apparently they are new and called e-vod. The guys in the shop were very helpful and I told them about this thread so maybe they will join and help people out which ones to choose etc.

 

[KnightStalker]

Evod BCC's are pretty good, ive got 2 here and use them for trying out new juices, not sure on the batterys, but id imagine they are similar to the eGo batterys so cant go wrong for the price.

Are these new tech (wick part) the guy in the shop said they last longer and showed my wife how they look different. could have told me anything really. They seem genuine

 

[KnightStalker]

Check this video below for the Evod BCC, as for lasting longer, i wouldnt say they last longer than others out there to be honest, they will last a good while before you need to replace the heads or rebuild them (video below), ive had 1 head going for 2 weeks now, and its still performing quite well, overall you cant go wrong with the setup, the atomiser (top part) is a solid performer and the batteries as i say are basically eGo batteries and again are proven to be mostly reliable.

Edit- one thing you will have to do, is clean out the top battery connection and the bottom of the atmoiser from time to time, as the condensation drips back down to the connector, not a major issue, do it when it needs filling and be careful not to overfill them, becasue when you screw it together again the pressure sometimes forces it down the center tube.

Most atties have that issue, especially cartos. You'll know it needs a quick wipe with a tissue (or in my case my t-shirt) because you might hear a bubbling/gurgling sound when you draw on it. It's a simple matter of unscrewing and wiping any juice that's leaked down from the threaded area.

Let us know how you get on with the evod cjgardens, looks a beast!
