I'd recommend spending a wee bit more for the kit with 2 batteries and atomisers so you don't have to wait for your batter to charge if it runs out mid-day (eg if you forget to charge overnight), or at least just buy a spare battery
 
So this would be better than the starter kit???

Also, why the tank system, I presume there are advantages, Im curious as I was expecting an e-cig to look like the real thing? So Im guessing there must be a reason they look like they do?

Bigger battery is definitely more important to me. Tank is much less hassle and gives better vapour and hit, but main benefit is more consistent sucking and less changing of carts. Wouldn't go back myself. There's a starter kit with 2 batteries so worth getting imo. You can start off with one if you're on a budget and charge at night, but you'll definitely want a second batt if you like it as much as the rest of us lol
 
Where does one get vg, and how do you dilute it ready for mixing (or can you yet it ready to mix?)? I love watermelon, its so tasty, but a bit strong now you mention it.
 
Tornados get a lot of attention because they have a very long lasting battery, have a superb atomiser housing/cone, and have a Tank which are very simple to refill and are the next best thing to dripping directly onto the atomiser (in my opinion, better, because I don't have to drip a few drops every time I want to vape!)

Exactly this. Supposedly the only better setup is the much more expensive GG/iAtty setup.
 
Sod it. Ordered the tornado from TW.

Good choice. Lots of good menthol juices out there.

First thing to do when you get your new tornado:

- charge battery, should be mostly charged on arrival so won't take long
- fill tank with juice of your preference
- take a few hard drags without pressing the button to get the juice flowing to the atty
- vape away, flavour and vapour should come through once you get through the primer (maybe 10 drags or so)
- enjoy vaping indoors at the pub
 
haven't had a smoke since sunday morning now and i don't want one either. haven't really been using the vaperiser that much tbh but it does work. not quite sure how i'll know when the cartrdige is finished? i assume it's when no vapour comes out from a pull?

If you get a hint of a burnt taste stop right away or you'll have trouble getting rid of that taste. Means the atty is dry and you need to refill. I find I get that before I lose vapour.
 
oh, and biggest tip for tornado-t users.. use the clear cartridges. Now you can literally see how much juice is left in the cart without needing to take it out.

Doesn't the atty cone hide the tank? Or can you see down it from the mouthpiece?
 
The button on the battery will flash when it's out. It's fine to use until this happens. :)

Though usually you'll notice having a mouth full of air first because your finder is over the button :p

Lol, its always so disappointing, even when you know it's coming.
 
What you smoke normally? 24mg would bring me out in sweats now!

Same here, just started experimenting with 18mg and found it a bit strong. Preferred the actual taste/hit, but couldn't get used to the strength. Not so bad I couldn't vape it, but I like to really chain it in the evening and it knocked my socks off when I really went for it. 11mg suits me I guess!

Well done Tom and jestar, glad you're getting on well :)
 
hmmm, new flavours turned up yesterday, overall, not very impressed, going from the bundled Menthol that i got from the tornado tank kit to some Decadent Vapours, it feels like theres little to no throat hit, and the flavour seems almost 90% watered down

tried Peppermint, Tiramisu and strawberry so far but

anyone recommend any better flavours? or makers? thought DV seemed pretty good from what i've read online ( i think lol )

I'm really enjoying dv lotus flower still, alternate between that and red label tobacco for now. I quite liked red label coffee, had quite a strong taste to it. Gunked up my atty a bit (maybe my imagination though)

In other news, I vaped my newest atty dry and am resigning myself to the fact that its going to taste a bit wack for the rest of its life. Got a good month out of it though and will keep it going for a while longer til I feel like parting with the cash.
 
hmmm thanks Devrij, will order those on monday then,

Idiot moment tbh, whats Atty in english lol atomizer?

Yep. I may have to invest in those clear tanks to avoid this situation. The burnt taste always goes away, but never completely.
 
OK - early experience report here..

Finally got all my bits yesterday and ran out of tobacco about 7pm last night.
Cleaned the new atty and fired it up
First impressions are good - I haven't had a roll up or bought any since I ran out, so the nicotene is obviously working

I bought a 5 pack of 10ml flavours @36mg! I thought that I had to get the strongest and mix them down, bit of a mistake, I have some VG, so will mix the flavours down and take the hit on the weaker flavour - lesson learnt
The tobacco mix that comes with the kit tastes rank, then again so does the RY4 - I can't really taste the difference between the two at the moment.
The taste bit I can put up with, the key for me is will it stop me smoking roll ups - if so I will be happy, can use up all the pre mixed stuff, and then experiment to find a flavour or flavours that aren't quite so disgusting..

I'd say you were high as a kite off that 36mg lol. Mixing it down is a good idea, what other flavours did you get in the 5 pack? Keep in mind it takes a little while for the flavour to come through when you change them over, and there's always a point where they mix in the atty and the combo can be a bit wack.
 
You'll be glad you mixed very vanilla down. I found it very very sweet. Coffee should hold its flavour well though.
 
when you go to sleep?

not sure tbh, my tornado just lays on either my windowsill, bed or desk, works fine when ever i wake up :)

Same, some people take the tank out to prevent the liquid from flooding the atty but I've never had any problems. Mine sits on the window sill above my bed for morning access :)
 
Just polished off the last of my DV Lotus Flower (definite keeper) and my red label tobacco (one I always come back to), so am looking to try out this RY4 that everyone goes on about, and maybe something else as well. Where's best to get it from and does it come premixed or as concentrate? Haven't mixed my own before so looking to maybe give that a shot if someone can tell me what stuff I need and where to get it :)
 
Well almost a week on, and i havent touched a real cig/roll up since..Mighty impressed, although i do have a couple of issues with the Tornado so far...One, it floods a lot, even long steady draws, doesnt solve it, as a result ive used way more fluid than i should have done, Second im not getting a lot of flavour, the bog standard menthol it came with is superb, but the spearmint i got smells of spearmint but doesnt taste of it lol.

So what is everyones prefered choice of fluid? pre-mixed and ready to go.

Anyway pay day tomorrow, so what should be on my Shopping list guys?
Basically got the Tornado 1 battery kit, so goes without saying another battery is on the list, LR Atomizer or normal ones?

I use lr exclusively now, couldn't go back. If you find it floods, try tilting it upwards to burn off the juice that leaks through (of course don't let it burn dry, just vape until it isn't flooded) or loosen the atty a little bit to loosen up the draw. Tighter draw creates more of a vacuum and pulls more juice into the atty. Also try a different tank.
 
Really annoyed my tornado atty seems to be stuffed had it two weeks. Mega burnt taste / loss of flavour despite liquid.

Ah, might have gone off in your pocket? Happened to me once and there was no coming back from that taste. Alternatively, maybe a wicking issue that went too far?
 
I have not had it in my pocket. I was using it heavily when a bit drunk the other night. I wonder if i've raped it. Super annoyed

Yeah sometimes if you vape faster than it wicks you can vape it dry and burn the wick. I have had it go off in my pocket and burn a bunch of juice, but it mostly went away after a while.
 
So, what ranges of liquid use higher VG content? I've always used TW who, I think I'm correct in saying, use 10% VG and the rest PG, and I wanted to try out something with more vapour and maybe a little less throat hit. Any suggestions before I order?
 
Awesome, cheers guys. Not after a completely VG juice, as I think that might not wick so well in my tank, but just something a little less.... dry
