I changed from cigarettes to e-cigs over 3 years ago, I can't see me giving e-cigs up. I enjoy it way more than I ever did smoking.

My favourite mod at the moment is the Evic, with the Kir Fanis telescopic tube set. Works great with anything I stick on it.
Order of preference on atomisers is 306LR - Boge carto in a tank - Iclear 30.

Yeah thats a slight worry for me, but hey.. it's healthier than smoking!

Im still really new to the scene, I just have my Battery + Cartomizer .. Whats the different with a Boge Carto in a tank? Am I right in thinking the Boge is the Cartridge, Tank being the IClear where the liquid is held and the 306LR being the Atmoniser?

Is there any particular benefit over using a Tank system in comparasion with a Cartomizer?

Sorry for such a newbie set of questions to get my head around that.
 
Yes, there's that many devices now, it's a total minefield, lots of reading up required lol.

Boge cartomiser - can be used on it's own, I prefer to punch a couple of holes in them, then stick into a carto tank. Benefits in this..You get 3ml of eliquid into a carto tank, so no need to keep topping the carto up with liquid. (Cartos run dry so need to be topped up with liquid)..
I also find i get a better lifespan from a carto if it's in a tank. (as it's constantly soaked in eliquid, so less chance of it burning dry). Once a carto tastes burnt, it's burnt, it's got to be binned.

Iclear 30 is a clearomiser tank, different from a carto tank. You can buy replacement heads for this type of tank. Life of the heads varies, I've used the same head in mine for 5 weeks now, and it still works perfectly.
 
I use the vamo with a vivi nova right now. Vamo because it's a good balance between cost and functionality, vivi nova for the same reason. Cheap as chips and holds lots of juice! I also use smok dual coil mega cartomisers for when I need a bit more throat hit from a particular liquid.

Good to hear Liam, you may get the odd pang for a good ole dirty fag every now and then near the start, though once you grab your vape device and take a few chugs, you're alright.
You just need to do a little research now and get some decent kit. I would recommend a genesis rebuildable and believe you would never look back.
I am healthier off the dogs for sure and sense of smell virtually fully back. After my last few normal cigs I would actually feel like a mild flu coming on.
Also ciggies never tasted this good.

Oh Devrij got to say stalwart job you are doing in this thread and apologise for coming in giving it the large one. :) Felt I had to say a bit, not posted in here for months. Vape on guys.
One more thing for the record I am lowering my nicotine in juices and plan to stop altogether pretty soon, even though I love it. Hey ho.

Thanks a lot for your response mate :)

Day 2 on these and they're great, I feel a little bit groggy on the throat side of things today but maybe that is because I am still learning how to inhale them properly lol! I was inhaling them like a normal fag yesterday but I've now learnt how to inhale them properly (not to fully breath them in and only keep them inside of your mouth for a couple of seconds). I had a little fag craving earlier on this afternoon but that was soon sorted out when I had a chug on my break :)

Thanks for the responses, I just got 2 Smoktech Clear Dual Coil XXL Cartomizers, They are half decent.. Think im gonna try a CE4/5 something where I can see the actual liquid. As Ive just added Clear liquid in to a white sponge, what should I look for when needing to refill as I don't want to burn the Carto out? (lightness of the sponge?)

Just added some RY4 into one, can gage the liquid much better.

6MG Nicotine even on Carts with 1.5Ohm Res, isn't doing wonders for me, Best Place to order juice at around 8/10 Nicotine levels?

Yesterday the postie delivered two Vivi Nova 2ml rebuildable tanks. They are producing a lovely vape from the eGo batts. Much, much better than the tanks that came with them.

Highly recommended.

These by the way: http://vapourhut.com/atomisers-cartomisers/tanks/vh-nova-single-2ml

How easy are they to rebuild? Simply clean out and then place the atom and wicks back in? And being a single wick would this last longer than a duel coiled cart before it burns out also what difference will the single wick make in comparison to a duel wick setup?

If it looks at all dry top it up. You'll get a feel for it, but generally they like being topped up. Sometimes I think they need topping up and they don't though. Usually means it's time to change batts!

Yeah 6mg is pretty low. No kick to it. I am quite happy with 12mg.

As for rebuilding the novas, you can buy replacement heads (unscrew one, put in another) or you can properly rewick them (you'll want to watch a video guide for this as it's quite straight-forwards when you can see it). I haven't tried re-wicking it yet, but I tend to rinse the whole thing out, dry thoroughly, pulse the coil a few times (dry burn it until it glows red, just a few seconds on and off while I blow on it to burn off any gunk) and away I go. Eventually the coils will go so I think I'll have to try out the rewicking!


The maintenance bit starts at 7mins

Right i have been looking around the various forums and had a good read of this thread (its huge lol).
I have decided not to go for a starter kit, as it seems most 'starters' just progress onto their own parts that ends up with a custom setup.
I am thinking of getting these (recommended by Ash1973 over at UKVapors.org)

eGo-C Twist 650mAh Battery (its a vv)
eGo FAST USB CHARGER
T3 Bottom Coil Clearomiser
eVod MT BCC eGo Clearomizer
Total £38 ish, + some juice
Obviously i will have to get a spare battery as well.
How does this sound?

I even watched some youtube vids of Todd ecigreviews :D

Thanks this was really helpful, May stock up on 2 or 3 and see how I get on.

Do you know the difference between having a duel coil and having a single long wick like these Nova's have? VH-Nova with single long wick head.. like what advantage would I get having duel coils rather than a single wick and also life time wise does this effect it?

Also, what do you guys find the best menthol flavour?

mate its a tenner as they want 2.99 postage as well to send a tiny 10ml bottle in the post thats extortionate, ten quid for a 10ml bottle i would never pay that.
 
Just ordered 4 VH Nova Tanks, Now just to get some stronger juice than 6MG (8/10) and I should be up and running and closer to that "Sweet Spot" for a while. Wasted a little dosh on a few liquids so far, will all be worth it.
 
I like the look of that eVic. Impressive bit of kit.
Can it function in variable wattage mode so it changes the voltage automatically depending on the desired power and resistance of the coil? (Vamo does this).
I'll stick with the Vamo for now but if I'm still vaping come bonus time, maybe ill treat myself.

They're my new fav atty, although they don't have the same throat hit of the smok dual coils, the flavour is much better. New heads tend to carry a bit of a weird flavour with them that goes after a tank or so. I'm not sure if there's a way to speed that process up or not.

Dual coil atties have two heating coils so lots of surface area to vapourise liquid from. Single coils are better for battery life and are a bit more reliable. You can do a fair bit with different types of coil and wick with the nova as well.

Will let you know how I go on, I like the look of them have had a look around and seem to get mainly praise. 1.8 Ohms I ordered, Now I just need a good place with a range of flavours of juice which do 8/10MG of Nicotine, Does anyone know of places as I need to get in a next day delivery order asap then I should be sorted for a couple of months (I Hope)

Gonna try some 8 from Liberty Flights with 1.8 Ohms Res, should be okay slightly better than now. If not I don't really wanna keep adding Nicotine Ill maybe invest in a low end VV Bat, With a VV are slightly higher Cartz better lifewise and voltage capability wise?

I've got the eVic, really impressed with it. Yes, it does work in variable wattage mode but I've only got 1.8 heads here so not sure if it changes automatically like you stated. I would think it probably does though. You get four modes:

Variable Voltage
Variable Wattage
Multiple Variable Voltage
Multiple Variable Wattage

With the last two you can program the voltage/wattage to vary over the length of a single puff. I've found my tobacco tastes much better with a voltage that changes from 3.0 to 3.5 volts and back to 3.0 over a four second period. Much smoother taste but still a good throat hit.
