Lost and need help finding way again

[kailey]

It has been a long time since I posted here as a lot has been going on in my life these past few years and, being content with my vaping setup, I spent more time on dealing with current issues. I won't bore you with the details but I have been browsing the forums again and it is good to see some familiar faces. I hope everyone is well.

A bit about me as I doubt anyone will remember me after being absent for so long. I began vaping and quit the ciggies over five years ago. I have not really bought anything new for several years except for an Eleaf Pico and a Nautilus 2 which was compact for going out and about. My favourite set up was a VTC/VTwo mini with an Aspire Triton 2 Tank. However, the coils for this have been discontinued. I bought the last set of coils from Amazon but they did not seem as good as previous ones. The Triton 2 suited me as, being top fill, it was easy to fill, had a good capacity and very seldom leaked except with the last set of coils I bought. To cut a long story short I have just purchased an Innokin Kroma-A / Zenith Kit. I have only been using it for a couple of days but my first impressions are favourable except for occasionally drawing liquid up the drip tip and having to refill much more often. It seems to be quite a thirsty little thing.

My problem at the moment is that I am feeling unsatisfied for the first time since I started to vape. Due to the long period of time since I last shopped I have no idea where to go online to browse new products. Many of the stores I used to shop at have/are closing down. I am still vaping 18mg of juice but I am now tired of the flavours and want something different. I would also like to try a higher VG liquid to see if it will stop the flooding of the Zenith tank but the choice for this strength seems very limited and the brands of liquids seem unfamiliar to me. I have also been thinking about trying sub-ohming as there appears to be more choice in the lower strength liquids but I have no idea where to start with tanks and things or even if I will like it as I have always been a MTL vaper. Plus I think the smaller TPD capacity tanks will be even more frustrating as I am under the impression sub-ohm vaping uses up juice much faster. I do have some old rebuildables but not keen on and don't have time for the faff at the moment.

I feel a bit lost and hoping someone can point me in the right direction again. Let me know which tanks you think are reliable for both MTL and DL vaping and what ejuice brands you recommend with 18mg liquid in their range and also which online stores do you recommend. My last few purchases have been from Creme de Vape and Myepack (which now appears to be closing down  ) as I have always had very reliable service from both but I have been browsing the liquid choice at Vapeclub which is new to me.

Welcome back to you kailey . . . . it's a bit late for me to get my head in gear with some recommendations for you, I just didn't want you to feel ignored. Our resident night owls may be about to help though.

It's true that post TPD and the increase in popularity of sub ohming, our vaping world has changed from a few years ago, between us though I'm sure we'll get you sorted out with some new equipment and eliquid.

I make my own eliquid, so can't help much on that front, but it's worth having a look at these sites perhaps as a starting point:

Hi Perpetua!!! It is so good to see you!

I have always been a night owl. Bad, I know.

Thank you for the links. I'm off to see what I can find.

Hi Kailey. Jump in quick on the Myepack sale & grab yourself an Innokin Smartbox for £13 delivered. Gives you the option of MTL or DTL with the supplied coils & no buttons to faff around with, just need a 18650 battery. Replacement coils are cheap as chips & last forever. I didn't get on with the ISub range of tanks originally but this has changed my mind on them. Bought a kit for a mate & tried it out & loved it so have had to get another for myself 😂😂

[kailey]

Hi Gill!

Thanks, TJ. I will check it out.

I hope you are all keeping well.

[Perpetua]

If you do get the kit which TJ has suggested ( great shout! ) then you'll also need to pick yourself up some far lower strength eliquid kailey for subohming, as with direct lung hits any nicotine gets into your system considerably faster - plus 18mg is likely to rip your throat out on a sub ohm coil.

I use only two tanks these days. Cubis by Joyetech (might need 2nd hand or www.fasttech.com/products/3006/10013609/4024201-authentic-joyetech-cubis-tank-clearomizer ) and/or iJustS ( www.fasttech.com/products/3006/10011884/7057500-authentic-eleaf-ijust-s-sub-ohm-tank-clearomizer )

The coils last a decent time and I order from China.

Obviously, not everyone wants to order from China, but these days 90% of my vaping is done with rebuildable tanks but these are both really good IF you want factory coils. Basically, I am looking for maximum value and performance. If you buy the right coils I can recommend both. 0.6 AIO for the Cubis and 0.5 iJust2 for the iJustS tank.

Both are great in their own way.

And if you want to try either of those tanks mentioned above by djs then let me know as I am sure I have at least one of each new in their box in the stash kailey

Hi Kailey, welcome back!

I have no hesitation in recommending rejuiced- great customer service, reasonable prices and still offer 18mg liquids (getting harder to find nowadays)

[kailey]

Sorry to go a bit MIA. Thank you to everyone for your advice. I have ordered some new juice from rejuiced (and other places) and have found some 1.8 ohm coils that are supposed to fit Tritons. I also discovered I had spare sub-ohm coils in the old boxes they came in so I ordered some low strength juice to use in them. I have tried them with 8mg juice but it is too harsh. I don't think the VG/PG ratio is right but it was all I could pick up at the local shop.

My Evic VTwo mini fell and smashed yesterday. It was rather battered anyway and I was thinking of replacing it so I have ordered a Pico 21700 which comes with an Ello tank and 6 bottles of free juice! I already have a little Pico so I felt it was something I already know. I also impulsively bought a Cleito because I discovered it is possible to add a bigger tank to it and a couple of Nautilus 2s as they were on sale at myepack.

So I am feeling excited again after my spending spree. I would like another mod soon and I am thinking about an Atlantis tank as the coils are supposed to fit Tritons.

I appreciate all your help. When I first posted I was feeling the pull of the ciggies. It is unbelievable after so long but I feel I am out of the danger zone again so a big thank you to you all!

Well done on jumping the shiny shopping wagon      I have a couple of Atlantis clone tanks new in their boxes somewhere if you do fancy trying them

i tend to vape 3 to 6 mg juice when sub ohming but i dont sub for the nic its more the flavour and clouds
i have used 50/50 juice as well as 85/15 vg/pg and although it make a small diff its defo the nic that makes it harsh so try some 3mg
i can handle 6 mg up to around 30 watts and its 3 mg for any silly powers     
hope that helps

 LOL It's been a long time. Maybe that was the problem!

TJ are they Atlantis Evo clones? If so, let me know the details. Thank you.

Thanks decoy. I've ordered some 3mg and 6mg to experiment with and also some 18mg for my MTL tanks. Most of my items have been shipped so I will be stalking the postman tomorrow.
