A little help!

and ditto to all that has been said above. Lower your nic, vape a little less, and drink PLENTY of watery liquids (NO not coffee/tea/beer).

It is VERY easy to sit there chain vaping, I know I do it so guilty as charged

Hi guys, been on the vapour trail for about 2 weeks now, after picking up what i believe is a ego starter kit from a seller in my local town centre, at the moment my favorite flavour is fruit punch, but has started leaving me heavy headed and a little sickly, the seller said they make there own liquids in a 80/20 formula and said they use the best ingredients.(well you could expect them to say that.lol). My question is what would be the next step up or upgrade, also could someone recommend a seller where maybe, i wont have the heavy head and sickly feeling. After smoking for over 25 years, i have almost got there and are down to about 5 cigs a day a big big reduction from the days before the ego, any help,suggestions would be great.Thanks. 

Welcome canford.

Heavy headed and sickly - too much vaping, too much nicotine. Either/or. Personally, I don't care for low nicotine liquid, I just vape less. (1.5ml a day now.....whoo hoo). If I'd tried to go straight down to 12mg to avoid head-weirdness, I expect I'd have failed to quit the fags.....(just my opinion of course).

80/20 is a good mix, about what I do when I make my own. All "quality" ingredients means decent base liquid (nicotine) and nice flavours, possibly only sourced in the UK. I could call my homemade e-liquid "best ingredients", but it still only costs less than £1 for 10ml.

How much is the liquid? How much were your egos? I only ask as a few people have arrived on here after getting thoroughly ripped off. Your local vendor could be a "diamond", who knows?

If you follow links on here to vendors for liquid or hardware, I know you'll get good advice....

Good luck.

Thanks it must be the strenght in the current e-liquid which is too strong then, its 18mg, i am a big water drinker anyway and normally drink 3-4 litres a day.As for vaping, i have not gone mad and probably vape around twice an hour, taking about 10 inhales. I have ordered some 11mg liquids and will see how they go, at the moment everytime i vape,i still get a really thick head and that sickly feeling is still there.
Can most batteries fit an ego connection or do they have to be specially listed for ego? sorry about all the questions and really appreciate the comments.

Yeh i paid £35 for the kit which had 1 battery,1 usb charger,2 white plug things, case, 1 clearomiser, no liquid. The e-liquid was £5 for 5ml and then went back a week later and got another clearomiser,so i could try another flavour or two which was £9.

Your ego batteries have a 510/ego connection so anything else with the same connection will be interchangeable!

Oh, hold on.....

Twice an hour. 10 puffs.

I rescind my comment. Maybe you should drop it....

[canford]

At the moment it does not matter if i take 1 puff or 5 puffs, as soon as i have taken 1 puff, it goes straight to my head, the liquid i am using is fruit punch and love it.

[canford]

Could anyone recommend a battery for around £20 and any other spares that i might need to try different flavours, thanks.

[matt1988]

Ego twist or a spinner would be a good start. I have the twist, but its not much up on your standard ego unless you get the 1000mah and yours is a 650.

An atomiser is a must to try different flavours

Although that is with my limited experience. Im sure someone may point you in a better direction.

One thing i have noticed recently is that to get a good inhale, i am having to suck really hard to get a good throat hit and vapour, still using ego crystal with 2.4 omh fitting 18mg ejuice 80/20, is their anyway to improve on this,once again thanks for all your help.

How long have you been using it?  Perhaps time for a clean or a new one

[canford]

Been using it for around 2 and a half weeks, have 2 clearomisers and have been swopping them about, so there have not really had much use, would a lower omh atomiser give any extra benefits.

I have a Crystal (amongst other things....) and use it twice a week, same time/event without fail.
I use my own rebuilt V3s on it (2.3ohms) and/or originals at either 1.8 or 2.4.

a 1.8 on a Crystal is going to be pretty mad..... 7.5 watts of power. (Small fry for some, admittedly)

At a guess, I would say the coil (the wire part wrapped around the wick) is probably either gunked up or slowly getting tired.
2 1/2 weeks is over a week each, and if I vape for a week on a Vision clearo, it'll be time for either a new head or maybe a good blast (out of the clearomiser) dry-burn.

[canford]

Great advice how would you do a dry burn, am i write in thinking a the lower the ohm, the more vapour?
