Need encouragement getting back into vaping please

[sg1]

My kit so far:

- Innokin AIO = Great for a while, but I kept going through the cartos too fast and continuously topping up was annoying. In the end the top lid became loose.

- E-Cigarette pcc = good for a few days, but now the batteries are not charging properly, and same issue with cartos.

- 1 Ego Twist battery = good workhorse

- 1 Crystal 400mah battery = very useful for keeping in my pocket.

- 1 Old 900mah passthrough battery, which I've had for 2 years...a little worried about using it due to the age.

- 4 x EVODS = 1 worked amazingly for about 2 weeks, the others have been duds

- A couple of ego V3 clearos = decent but leak too much.


I've started smoking again and want to stop. My triggers are walking to the tube in the morning/after work. Basically anywhere I have to walk I seem to smoke, if I tell myself I won't I start to get hot and irritable. Also lunch times and after meals.

I've started a new job so I don't want to vape at my desk right now, and I can't keep going to the toilet to vape lol. So I need something that I can keep in my pocket but packs a punch. For this I've thought of getting a echomiser?

Then there is solving the problem of vaping outdoors, it isn't the same sensation as when smoking indoors. The innokin AIO is good but it was too weak, especially with warmer weather coming (hopefully lol) I need something to satisfy and stop the urge to reach for a cig.

Hello sg, it would seem you are in a bit of a fix at the moment. It's difficult to suggest anything for you except to suggest that maybe its not the right time for you at the moment? Don't lose heart though there's no shame in going back to the stinkies, you can always try again later

Hi sg,

Seems your having a tough time at the moment. Some good kit in amongst your list there. The evods are great little clearos this might help with them allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/22461/evod-protank-tips-tricks?page=1&scrollTo=417075 and 2 weeks is about right for the head, it would need replacing then or at least a wash and dry burn. My oh uses the v3's and only time we get leaks is if the tube has come up from the bottom metal band ( place tube on hard surface, cover hand with towel and push down into place) and if the head has come loose, i think it loosens itself when you undo the drip tip.

Are you looking for something like a cig a like here for work and outdoors or something bigger?

What nic level are you using? It maybe that you need to up the levels for a while.

How about a basic Riva kit with Ce4 clearo for work? Not too big and bulky and can fit in your pocket.

I think everyone goes through tough days/weeks. I know I do, some days I seem to Vape non stop, other days I forget where I put my pv.

If you need a cig have one, just remember all the cigs you didn't have.

Very good advice from zeldamum - your new job is bound to involve a bit more stress until you settle in, and this elevated stress level may be the true trigger that is pushing you back to stinkies. Better to vape a higher nic level than smoke if you can manage it.....

I think that a Riva/CE4 setup is pretty much unbeatable at the price, and it is reasonably pocketable.

I have to go outside if I want to vape at work and you are right - vaping outside is not quite the same! But maybe as you settle into your new job  you will have the confidence to vape at your desk? I'm assuming your employer aloows it though.

What sort of budget do you have? Maybe something shiny might help to inspire you (worked for me!)

I happily use an Evod battery and Evod bottom coil clearomisers for ease and would recommend them anyone.

3.7v-ish from the battery and a 1.8 Ohm Evod should pack the punch - especially with 24mg liquid

Me All Day Vape is Mom and Pop's Tobacco Praze which hits the spot for me too

Good Luck and AAEC is great for Support, Help and Advice

I'd get another twist or a spinner, for an atty what about a Boge or Vivi Nova, I have 2 novas I've been using for about a year now, a quick recoil and good as new, or better than new

[Super-Shiny]

You seem to have the equipment for a good vape, maybe try a different approach and try higher strength nicotine levels and opposite types of juice taste.

[giles]

I think you've been unlucky with your evods. I only have a couple which are both fine, and don't seem to leak however I carry them. Most people seem happy. Maybe a different supplier?

I got a dinky 400mah spinner from madvapes and an obese twist vapourhut.com/vh-e2-twist to put the evods on, both of which go happily in my jeans pocket.

[punisher]

whats up with the 4 evods ?? cant understand 3 duds you checked your battery center pin?
you could have 3 set ups ther with all 3 batterys

I'm with Bluefish, go for a Vivi Nova. I have Evods, which I do like & have had no problems with, but I much prefer my Vivi Nova V9 & have been on the same coil for three months. No leaks, plenty of flavour & vapour.

[Perpetua]

Maybe try a Dual Coil Tank Sg . . . they always pack a bit more of a punch for me, as much as I love my Nova's and Evods, I can find the vape a bit ' soft ' sometimes with them. A DC works very nicely when I have those lacking moments.

Crikey! You mean a V9 Nova actually works.

Do you buy or make replacements. Mine is in 4 pieces in the vape box, never even got it to 1st base.

[Deleted]

LOL Yep, djs & it works like a dream & is in constant use. I bought a V9 kit from Purevapour & it worked trouble free straight out of the box. I've done nothing with it & I'm still on the first coil head, the 2 that came with the kit, still to use. I don't make replacements, not sure I could. So, when I need them, I'll buy.....if I can.

In fact, last week, I ordered another V9 kit from Cass & hopefully, that will arrive in the morning.

Maybe you got a duff one, but I love mine.
