Thanks macca, I knew it wasn't going to be a good one at that price, more of a 'practice' one if you know what I mean - didn't want to blow decent cash on something I might not enjoy. I will give making a wick/coil a go, and see if there is any improvement, if not I will probably just hold off on rebuilables for now, just heard people saying that other systems aren't as good as a rebuildable, so thought I would give it a shot! Nothing ventured nothing gained etc. Or do you think I'm best just putting this on the back burner for now (happy enough with cartos, tanks and clearos to be going on with)

Hi all, in a moment today whilst at a local shop,I have bought a 'vivi tank' rebuildable, haven't seen one before, and for a tenner seemed like a good excuse to get into rebuildables, without too much worry of breaking it. With a coil installed and a couple of ready made spare coils to boot, happy I was! So, been using it for a few hours now, and I have to say, the vape is really scratchy and harsh, not much flavour, and tastes burnt at anything over 5 watts.

So, now I don't know where to start, I saw a brief review of a similar device, saying that the wicking is awful, resulting in a poor vape but I have no experience making coils/wicks (this was to be my first go at rebuilding anything) and no materials to make any! Where do I start? Anywhere that does a good beginners kit, I know I need wick and wire - along with a multimeter, anything else, and which ones?

It is one of these - linky - not the place I got it from but gives a good idea of what it is!

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the friendliest forum on the net!

As already said, your body will tell you how much nic is too much, dizzy/lightheaded usually means you have overdone it, reccomending nic levels is subjective - seems like some people have to have high nic juice, even if they were a light smoker, others only need low nic, even if they were a heavy smoker. For example I use 18mg nic juice even though I was smoking 30-40+ rollies a day, where others need higher/lower strengths even though they were smoking more. Nic requirements seem to be affected by how often you like/can vape also, some like a short vape of high strength, some like a low strength longer vape, it's all really individual, and a lot of fun finding out what you like!

Apologies if I'm rambling, got a belly full of Jack Daniels! (First alcohol since starting to vape )

Yeah, I will do, thanks

Need some strong eating irons for them

Watched it from the start, I was really into it, but lost interest in it now

great, that reassures me, thank you!
