Welcome aboard kittyvape. With regards to voltages your best bet is to start at the bottom and work your way up. Id go any where between 3.7 - 4.2v on a regular ego tank. Hiya phtumshk and thanks Here's where total newb comes through, lol ... at the moment, the big main voltage on the iStick 50w is showing at 9.0w, and the small numbers are 0.6 ohm (subtank nano) and 2.3 v. I'm not sure how to alter setting to lessen the TH. Is me having the voltage lower than you've said better or worse, lol?

If the throat hit (th) is too harsh, then maybe the nic is too high or you have PG intolerance.

Ah, my hands are up! I admit I had a bit of a skim through the thread and got a bit lost in all the re quotes. I didnt realise you had upped your vape game to sub tank nano. as tim suggests in the previous post if the TH is to harsh you may have to high a nic or PG level. The new tank systems are 100% improvement at delivering the nicotine than the egos ever were.

Sorry, I'll use the quick reply instead ... I was getting a bit confused myself, lol. No problem. The little Hypernova e-cig's had been driving me crazy, with having to recharge batteries every 2 hours and new cartridge every 4 hours, so I just went crazy and got the iStick 50w, mainly for battery reasons, and to invest, thinking I can tweak and learn. I've glooped some more VG in, but still TH harsh. Love the high nic, but not the TH, grrrr. Couple of 6mg juices on the way, as well as diluting these 18mg's within an inch of their life, lol. Brain hasn't clicked about voltage/wats etc at all, lol. Time for a rest, haha.

kittyvape what you describe in your last post mentioning me sounds like flooding Easy whackable fix for that Be polite and if near other people put a tissue over the drip tip/mouthpiece - otherwise just whack Also nicotine can be absorbed through the skins so sounds like you need a trip to local discount drug store for baby wipes Can't advise on sub-ohm craziness (to me it's crazy) sorry Jane

Lol, you'd have laughed earlier ... I'm definitely covering all the 'newbie incident' possibilities quickly, including nicotine od ... I was reading bits and pieces, and there was advice about blow through the clearomiser. I did it the wrong way and got my eyes sprayed with juice. Immediate rinse, and can still see, so all's well. The whackable solution sounds a great idea. Lol, yes, baby wipes. What with leaking VG everywhere, spraying my eyes with juice, the eGo spitting at me, overfilling the eGo, etc, I've used my own bodyweight in them so far. No worries about sub-ohm; I've set it to wide open, lowest voltage, watering down 18mg with VG a lot, and am getting away with it okay. And just got the Stellar Apollo from eShisha, with my fave blueberry juice (18mg) and bubblegum (same) plus some others ... happy days! Vapes really well. Oops, only saw vid when posted reply ... thank you!

You know what kittyvape - I'm just so glad I'm still on MSE and have the e-cig thread subscribed and I happen to be counter upper on the Payment a Day thread this month so I check MSE every morning..... Being able to get you properly started on your vaping journey with all these fabbo peeps on here has really cheered me up! Just stay away from free trials (they are not truly free) and paying too much for your vaping gear

The little Hypernova e-cig's had been driving me crazy, with having to recharge batteries every 2 hours and new cartridge every 4 hours, What you are finding out is what most of us find out fairly soon. These products are not very good. The flavours might be good and the experience passable, buy long term these systems do not add up for many reasons. The fact they are sending you stuff and asking you to review products is all part of the strategy. If it was me, I'd walk away. Write enough reviews to show willing to accommodate their plan, then draw a line under it. Play ball, take what they have sent and do your best to find an exit plan. - - - I've been helping a lady from another country with her issues with a cig-a-like company. She came on a forum (not this one) and was saying how great it was she'd quit smoking. I started to delve deeper in my normal annoyingly pushy way. Anyhow, 2 weeks (?) later she was not keeping of the cigarettes, the cravings had become too much for her as the novelty had worn off. The company were trying to sell her £150-worth of refills and were offering extra batteries and chargers and many things. It's got really desperate, so she is backing out of accepting freebies and writing reviews. She's ordered an EGO e-cig and I hope to send her a load of accessories. I'm sorry, but they are parasites. Maybe not the e-shisha club, but in general, for sure. Hang in there. Go steady with the Subtank.

Being able to get you properly started on your vaping journey with all these fabbo peeps on here has really cheered me up! Just stay away from free trials (they are not truly free) and paying too much for your vaping gear awww, that's lovely! Thank you so much again for encouraging me. Great to start my journey in such good company. And definitely good advice; I can't keep away from my fave two juices (earn points/pounds quickly, so I can use free £'s to keep supplied), but I'm definitely going to just write these reviews and make sure I don't overspend.

Thanks djs [not sure I'm tagging here, lol, but am trying to not quote too often] ... with properly vaping now, I can't imagine going back to the little e-cigs. You're right, as I definitely couldn't afford to keep making lots of cartridge purchases; that was worrying me. The only thing I'd really miss is buying my fave blueberry and bubblegum, at 18mg, and watering down with VG ... this means they'll last, plus earn points/£'s rapidly, so that should see me over those orders. Nice you're helping that lady, too. I'd not call it overpushy; nice that you're concerned and advise. She's going to love the eGo! eShisha are definitely a more expensive route, I agree. I really appreciate the Apollo, so will do that review, plus the couple of free flavours they've sent, but from now on it'll be just the juices. I've just realised; they'd said they'd include 2 more Hypernova batteries plus mixing thingie, and those things weren't there. I think they must have realised, from me ordering my fave flavoured juices, that I wasn't focussing as much on the Hypernova. Doing well with the iStick; realising when am topped up enough, getting more used to it ... it's great!
