That link was awesome regards the review of the k box. That this puts me in 2 dilemmas do I go for the nautilus mini for the Evod twist I already have or go for the k box with a nautilus tank as a spare flavour tank?.

Something to take into account if you go for a KBox, the battery isn't included you will need to buy a high drain 18650 battery with at least a 20amp rating.

I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure the Kbox does not have a built in charging port either in which case you will need a suitable mains charger.

Ideally you will want 2 batteries so you can carry on vaping with one while the other is charging.

Alternatively you could go for something with an inbuilt battery like the Smok Xpro M80.
It has a 4400mah inbuilt Lipo battery, the charge will last for days and it has an inbuilt micro usb charging port so you can continue vaping while it's charging.

Yes it's more expensive but when you factor in the cost of buying separate batteries and a charger it works out about the same as the Kbox plus the kit you'll need to use it.
Another advantage is the Smok is more flexible  you can tailor the wattage settings to whatever suits your needs where the Kbox has preset wattage settings.

Some great advice already given funkymonkey so i'll just you to AAEC

Some great juice sites:

The Alchemists Cupboard (Discount code AAEC for 5% off for orders over £10)
Chefs Vapour (The Steamgunk range is really good!) (Discount code AAEC for 10% off)
Ecigarette Depot
One Pound Eliquid (Yes, all their juice is £1 a bottle!) (Discount code AAEC for £1 off first order)
Lickwid (Discount code LICKWID14 for 14% off)
Some discount codes may not always work.

That's one giant leap to the Smok XPro M80, no new vaper needs 80watts, especially with the smaller tanks. We have no long-term experience of the Smok either.

A more reasonable step may be the istick 30W or the istick 50W, with their built in batteries and pasthrough charging (can vape while they're charging), plus they resell well, when you're ready to step up.

Pair one of these with a Nautilus or Nautilus Mini and you'll have a great setup.

Oh, and the smok is a HUGE mod compared with the istick.

Thanks ripshod was thinking to myself am I jumping up to quick. The price is going to play obviously on what I should go for however like I have said I want some thing I can enjoy rather than say that is rotten back on the cigs again. If I'm going to do it want to do it right but not jump into things to quick if you know what I mean.

Great advice given...so I'll just say a very BIG welcome to AAEC funkymonkey - enjoy

I hear you but just because it will go to 80w doesn't mean he has to use 80w he'll likely not use 30w or 50w either unless he moves onto sub ohm vaping.
I only made that suggestion because he was considering the KBox anyway.
I suggested the Smok because of the 4400mah battery life plus the flexibility to set the wattage at what you like is better than the preset settings on the KBox.
The Smok battery life is twice that of the iStick 30w, and yes the iStick 50w has a 4400mah battery but i wouldn't call the Smok huge in comparison to the 50w iStick.
The height and depth are virtually identical literally 1 or 2mm difference, the Smok is about 1cm wider.
The iStick 50w and 30w have been out what 3 or 4 weeks longer than the Smok?
The Smok is a similar price range as the iStick 50w too.
Oh and if he ever wanted to try temperature sensing coils in the Nautilus, the Smok has temperature sensing mode too.

Anyway all the above would be great with a Nautilus or Nautilus mini, you'll get a lot of bang for your buck with all of them.

Wasn't poo-pooing the suggestion for an M80, but you must admit it's a big jump from a 40watt kbox. All good recommendations, was just expressing my own opinion, as everyone is.

Hi and welcome funkymonkey

[funkymonkey]

Just found kangertank that broke on me.. It was the kangertech T3'D wasn't to bad to start with but like I said before burning and damp dog taste, but you guys did say it could have been my liquids..

[funkymonkey]

Hi guys and gals with much though and more thoughts I have decided to stick with my Evod twist battery and order the nautilus mini and see how I go. All goes well I shall step up to the istick 30 and get another nautilus but the larger one. In a month or so.. Baby steps... Thank you guys for all the awesome advice you have given me.

1 other thing that comes to mind what would be the best coils to buy with the nautilus mini to keep me going at first?

Thanks

Either coil is good, the difference is almost nothing... I think Aspire bungled on it, I'm afraid.

Go with the 1.8 if you are just starting out... I find they last better too. Vape-wise, nowt in it.

I think the T3D isn't 100% bad, but I can go and lick my damp dog to do a straight comparison if you like.

They did leak mind you, and burn quite freely above about 8 watts. I was asked to review one, once. I said no.

[funkymonkey]

Don't be going licking your damp dog you will get hairs in our mouth buddy.. Are there any other stick like batteries with a little more oomph than the Evod twist?.

I don't know about oomphage, but I've personally found these more reliable than an Evod Twist funkymonkey:

Better again ( for me ) is a iStick  . . . now my out & about/go to work device.

Ok took the head staggers today and went out and bought myself th istick 30w mod and the aspire nova tank whilst I wait fo my nautilus mini.. All I can say is omg the difference is unbelievable. Using the liquid goblin snot as I had done before and the taste is so much better and no harshness in my throat using the 12mg level..

Just want to say a massive thank you to all who advised and helped me out so far so good..

Happy Vaping people

Thank you

Oh forgot to mention.. I got to sample cosmic fog Krytonite oh it's is totally amazing and the honey and milk tastes like toasted marshmallows.. Awesome sauce guys
