NEWBIE HELP PLEASE!

[kitty778]

My flatmate and I each celebrate our birthdays later this month (the wrong side of 35!) and we have been talking lately about vaping.

I've decided to take the plunge and buy us both our first vaping devices!  I've been reading a lot about it, and have narrowed it down to the following summary (with apologies for any terminology mistakes):


Tank: Probably Kanger aerotank or another with the airflow tech? Not very clear of the difference between all the aerotank models, but I suspect my flatmate and I might prefer different types, so any thoughts would be welcome.  Definitely clearomizer.

Battery: Variable, not sure about power requirements, would be handy - not essential - to vape whilst charging

I'm more of a easy life sort of person, while he would probably enjoy getting wildly into tinkering, if that helps narrow it down any?  For now, I am only interested in cylindrical styles, though I can see there is a lot of love for the box style.  I would prefer a medium sized tank, but my flatmate might prefer a larger tank style.  It would also be handy to try out each other's kit with little fuss, so accessory compatibility would be helpful.

I can't seem to find a starter kit which offers the above, so which accessories/other bits should I get and are they a MUST or a BENEFIT?

Thanks for any replies!

You only want cylindrical, but vv -

I think an aerotank is wider than a cylindrical battery, so a 'beauty ring' would be needed, and the end result would be something like this :



Never used them myself/ but myepak will probably have what you both require. I'll tag Steve (VapeStorm) as he's another who might have what you want at the right price.
Sorry I've not been much help, I use mech mods and kayfuns myself - I'd strongly recommend both, but not to a newbie!


*welcome*to the forum. Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge on these items will be along to help you shortly.

I think I'm right in saying that the tank in fred 's pic is an Aerotank MINI

Couple of options for him.... however i think the Nautilus might look a little big on top... they are just options tho,

If this is correct ( I couldn't comment) then a standard aerotank would look even more out of place!

Maybe you should look at mini-protanks kitty778 ?

Forgot to say before, make sure you get some spare heads for yourself and some kanthal (vapemesh company) and cotton for your flatmate.
The wicks/coils are disposable items but can be replaced and rebuilt. You can replace them and he can rebuild them (for both of you)

What about a cylindrical style for him?  And what is the benefit of the Nautilus over a Kanger aeroflow?

Why no recommendations for me?  Have I already made a silly mistake?

No not at all
The Spinner/Aerotank in fred's pic is the recommendation for yours

Thought you wanted an aerotank? I gave you a photo! And I think the spinner battery is probably what you are after?
I also recommended mini-protank. Those I have used- very good compared to ce4/5, nova etc, but I've moved on. So have clearos, since I used them.

Does your flatmate want a single unit, or a cylindrical mod that takes rechargeable batteries?

Lol... no ... no mistake..lol...i just thought advice from another woman would be better and what she might use would be more helpful.. i will probably choose manly looking gear...lol... the reason i chose the Nautilus is becaus you said he wanted a big tank.. that holds around 5mil   plus you mentioned he might want to tinker, he can rebuild the heads on the Nautilus, its a bit more of a challenge but they can be done...

I'm kind of attached to the idea of being able to adapt the airflow (if that's what it means!).

Thanks for the heads advice; I'm way ahead of you on the benefits of living with a tinkerer!

[fred]

And why do you want to adapt the airflow?

Too many variables at the start could potentially cause problems?

ie - if its not working as you'd like, do you adjust the voltage, the airflow, the coil resistance......

[Deleted]

With regards to cylinder for him... it all depends on how much you want to spend but keeping a low budget you are looking at something like a Vamo or a Zmax.. wars can be started over which is best ...lol...  he also has the option of a cheap mechanical mod and Vari Volt or Vari Wattage kick... which is what i would go for... again others will have a different opinion im sure ...

[kitty778]

Sorry Fred - I should have tagged Agenthoover specifically in the previous post!

We both want the following:

cylinder style, variable battery, airflow control, clearomizer.

I would prefer a medium size but doubt he would care either way so may end up better off with a larger size?

[fred]

Your flatmate sounds canny! Get him a provari.
