Hi & I'll echo what's been said above, i'd recommend a iStick 30w and a Mini Nautilus As for nicotine strength, i'd say get a couple of levels, 18mg and 12mg to try and get a higher VG content if you can.

Hi darfvaper firstly I'd suggest you add your location to your profile, it's a condition when selling/swapping. Then next introduce yourself in the beginners section. people may not be keen on sending anything to someone that they don't know, or perhaps you know someone on here hat can vouch for you.

Use 'Boots' VG(Glycerin), and use the empties to store your mixes. Good if your butt cheeks squeak.(cheap) Maybe I should apply some. Please don't tempt me into giving you a ' Squeaky Butt Cheeks ' Custom Title hijack. You've said it now Perpetua so it should be done!

Can I ask Des for an update on which of his TC devices he is now (or still) most happy with? I've been agonising about this question (for myself, not any of my customers) most of this weekend since I decided I really ought to give this a try and update myself about the current equipment. All advice welcomed, but bear in mind that I'm as parlously broke as ever (thinking anything over £50 gives me the shivers) and I only wind or replace coils with premade wick and wire on grounds of poverty, not by choice!I know I'm classed as a Vendor here, but I am only able to work at supporting my existing (mostly face to face, non-internet savvy) vaping customers part-time, and this is more of a semi-voluntary social service than a business for me. It's a big (and rare) week for me if my turnover hits three figures (ie £100+). Yes, that is turnover, NOT profit, which is usually less than (often well under) half of that. I'd be willing to get hold of Ni200 or maybe even Ti wire from Stealthvape to keep something going if TC ticks my personal boxes sufficiently for it to seem worthwhile, but no way I can start experimenting with umpteen bits of kit if it doesn't. Two out of Des's three were already front-runners, partly due to TW/TECC's 25% offer - which expires today. They both have the advantage of coming with suitable tanks attached, and I don't currently have anything like that I could slap on a separate battery. I don't think I'd ever even heard of Dovpo until I tripped over them yesterday while poking about in FT, so know nothing at all about them aside from the fact that they exist, and I wouldn't have wait till about October if I wanted one. Most of the others on FT (Authentics, anyway) are preorders with weeks on 'em. Any other entry-level TC devices which other AAEC members would recommend for a temperature control virgin? Hi Tetsab, OK here's my thoughts a few weeks down the line owning the three TC devices : All have been used with : Subtanks Ni & Kanthal, Ego Mega One (excellent) with Ni & Ti, Aspire Atlantis 0.5 ohm OCC Kanthal and a Magma dripper with Ni Coils. iStick 40W TCA great little device, not missed a beat, everything connects with it. Battery life is a little poor, if I was leaving the house early in the day then I don't think it would last me all day probably until early evening but I am a heavy vaper. It seems to read the coil resistances well and has a easy to navigate menu system. One thing you need to be aware of is it has a fixed wattage output at 40 watts, so it is a warm vape. Taking a long draw you can feel the temperature alter, between warm and cool as the TC cuts in and out. This does not bother me but may bother some. Pros : Easy menu, small, TC works well for me, nice and neat especially in it's silicone sleeve, feels nice in the hand, the ability to vape whilst it's charging (passthru) nice bright display. Cons: Battery life, 40W output only (though not an issue for me), however it is quick to charge. My score 8/10 Dovpo TC-50I bought this off of phatfil a small box mod, again everything connects ok. Battery life from 2500mAh Samsung 25r is fine and of course it's easy to carry a spare, probably not much difference to the battery life of the iStick. You cannot charge and vape at the same time. The menu system is a bit cumbersome but you can change both the wattage and the temperature, works fine. Cover is not loose and slides in plus has magnets to keep secure. Pros: Small, ability to swap batteries, TC works fine. Cons : You cannot vape whilst it is charging the battery, cumbersome menu system, display has a mirrored front making it virtually impossible to see in sunlight, edges are very square so does not feel so comfortable in the hand (I need a silicone case!) My score 7/10 Evic VT TC 60WI paid just under £50 from Bargain Coils for the full kit. Battery life is very good as it contains a 5000mAh LiPo battery and will easily last a day probably a day and a half for me, for many Vapers possibly 2 days. You can vape it whilst it's on charge. It does take some time to charge however, from flat around 5 - 6 hours its drawing 850mA when charging. Everything connects fine. The menu system is easy enough although I'm not totally sold on the toggle switch to change settings. Once again you can change the wattage and the temperature to tailor your vape. It feels quite substantial in the hand with a nice heft weight, although it is no VTR! IMO the kit is a very good buy as it includes the excellent (IMO) Ego Mega One Atomiser plus a Ti & a Ni coil unit which sells elsewhere for around £20. You also get a silicone sleeve to keep your new toy nice and scratch free, you also get a charger and a USB lead to charge your device. Pros : Nice build quality device with excellent battery life, good bright display and a good menu system, TC works well. Kit very good value for money. Cons : Built in battery, hopefully should last at least a year but only time will tell. My score 9/10 In conclusion : All 3 are good devices! I am a full TC convert, it's not that hard to get right and I have even successfully wound my own TC coils. Looking ahead I think my next TC device may be the new Joyetech eVic VTC mini as it uses 18650 batteries, has Upgradeable software and has dispensed with the toggle for navigating the menu. Does that help Tetsab?

If you like Menthol/Sweet/full flavour then I can thoroughly recommend Red Astaire by T-Juice as will MANY others here. It can be found HEREThere are some discount codes for it that I can't remember hopefully someone will chip in with them. When you want to try mixing your own juice you can buy the concentrate and then it gets nice and cheap! WARNING this juice is very moreish. ETA Perpetua beat me to it (not for the first time)
