New vaper with lazy ways

Hello and welcome

[lairey]

Hi snow and a very warm from me too. For the biggest tank and longest lasting battery/mod, you won't be able to beat an Aspire Nautilus and an MVP. Both of which I use regularly and both of which can be found very reasonably at www.myepack.co.uk the Nautilus holds 5ml and has replaceable coils and the MVP can be charged with a micro USB and will last most people a couple of days between charges, that's if you can get on with the box style mods. If you think you'll find them too big, check out the itaste vv, also micro USB and either can be used in pass through mode, which means you can use them whilst charging

Hi snow and a warm from me too.
Some great advice has already been given regarding clearomizers and batteries. In my mind Kanger clearomizers (Protanks, mini Protanks etc) although can be prone to a bit of leakage, are the most faff free for me, the coils are relatively cheap (I buy on Ebay when needed) and the tanks are very easy to clean. I am using the Mini Protank 2 mainly but am now microcoiling them (better vape) and have just bought a Aspire Nautilus for when my Vamo v5 arrives through my letterbox.
At the moment my choice of Batteries are the high MaH (capacity) ego types and variable voltage (VV), namely the Vision Spinner 2 which will normaly last all day, maybe longer, depending on how much you vape. I use the ego batteries for work and have a couple just in case one runs out and the Spinner 2 is mainly used at home (for now) until my Vamo v5 (VV/VW device) turns up which I am waiting for from China.
Gratz on stopping with the stinkies BTW

 A BIG welcome to AAEC snow 

[Clivia]

hi ans so much welcome to AAEC snow - so many advises already - go with them and keep asking if you nee to know more

[djs]

Welcome snow

All I'm going to say is this;

If you have a small smok ARO tank and it's not leaking too bad, offer some sacrifice to the gods of vaping.

If you consider buying a BIG smok ARO tank, be prepared to take out shares in a kitchen roll company...

and cry a lot...

and hit things...

It is the Mother of Epic flooding. Not leaks, proper Noah's Ark stuff.

Good luck.

Welcome to aaec snow and congratulations on kicking the cigs! You are in good hands with us lot some crazies amongst the bunch but they know their stuff

Hi and welcome to AAE-C

I see that Perpetua, Pepperty and lairey have already mentioned/recommended the Nautilus. For good reason. It is about as hassle free as it gets and vapes like a dream, worth every penny of the £20 or so you can pick one up for!

snow - hi and a warm from me too!
Nothing much more to add to the great advice you've already had above, and please don't be afraid to ask a question, now matter how silly or trivial you may think it is; there will always be someone close by who can give you a good answer quickly.
Most of all, well done on quitting the stinkies!!

snow Welcome to the forum - Don't think your gear should be leaking as much as it sounds like

If its all screwed together correctly then I would be looking for a burst or missing seal or 'o' ring somewhere I reckon

[robby]

Welcome snow, lots of great advice here. I have pretty much given up on the faffin about myself. I use an iclear30s which doesnt leak and the coils last over a month on average. They are the same kind of thing as mentioned earlier. Just unscrew the coil assembly and pop a new one in when they pop. They hold 3mls so last a reasonable amount of time before needing filling (very easy)

Your experience when you took up vaping is much the same as mine, I had tried everything else after 40 years of smoking and couldn`t believe how easy it had been, actually felt a bit guilty when I got all the praise lol. You`ve made a good choice and have joined the best forum out there

A quick hello from me, who is also a new member.
Larger tank, as others have said, the Aspire Nautilus, no leaks, doesn't seem to eat coils, as like you, I can't be faffed to mess about building coils, and if one goes then I just say "Oh poo", chuck it in the bin and fit a new one.

For a battery, there is the Spinner, Ego twist type of battery with adjustable voltages. However for me I think that buying the little kit of the Innokin VV-VW V3 battery plus USB cable charger can be had at Myepack for about the same price or maybe a couple of quid cheaper than those type of batteries. That way you can play with voltages and wattages with a little lcd screen, which is much more fun that just turning a little wheel on the bottom of the other batteries.

I have tried a few small tanks, and the one I really like is another Aspire model (which looks exactly the same as the Kanger EVOD, but works better) called the ET-S BDC. It has a stiff draw on it, no worse than a ciggie, but I prefer that as I cannot do the 20 minute draw to produce vapour like reviewers do, so I can take a reasonable drag on it and still get loads of vapour and flavour.

Ideal for popping on my bog standard Ego type battery, or MVP2.

My quest now is to find juices that I like, which has also produced quite a few flavours that I am not keen on, so although I seem to have loads of juices, not all of them appeal to me.
So I am still in the trial and error stage, and have only been vaping for 5 months, and rather like you, I quit smoking the moment I walked out of my local shop with my basic kit.

Keep up the good work.....

Welcome to AAEC snow, and welcome to the rest of your life. You're already thinking like an experienced vaper (I need a new tank) and you'll find everything you need to know in these forums. If you can't find something, as you've seen, you only need to ask.

Lazy? I find it easier to charge a battery and fill a tank than cleaning ashtrays.

Good luck on your journey

Went to visit my new grandson yesterday and on impulse decided to pop in to the shop where I bought my starter kit 2 weeks ago, told myself I was just going to get some juice and coils to save on postage .... £70 later I emerged with a couple of bottles of juice (My fav Blueberry and a new one Blackjack which is just like the sweets) extra coils, a new blue cartomiser (stuck with the Smok Aro for now), a 2nd usb charger and 2nd wall charger, an 1100mAh Ego T battery in a lovely metallic purple, a hands free lanyard thingy and a hand carved wooden e-cig stand. Same day in the post I received 3 bottles of Intense liquid that I bought from a vendor I found reviewed here in Peach, Tuttifruity and Cherry. Definitely have shineyitis now lol

I seem to have sorted the leaking - or at least reduced it somewhat, its clear I will need to keep the cart topped up and refill when its down to a third full, and make sure I wipe the threads of the inside of the cart and the coil thoroughly after a refill. The new battery feels much nicer in my hand and I'm wondering if maybe some of the tackiness feeling was down to the slick stainless steel on the other batteries.
