Hi You should get more clouds from VG, either your tanks aren't wicking very well or the juice's water ratio is off. Bigger tank options: Full sized nautilus (get the BVC coils, the BDC ones are ok but not nearly as good) For stock coils that is as good as it gets vapewise for me. If you are happy to fiddle then I would recommend the aerotank mega with microcoil and cotton. Kanger stock coils have never impressed me, but recoiled and wicked they are great. If you don't want to learn how to recoil then both Virtual Vape and naturevape do premade microcoils which, if you learn how to rewick (simple, easy and necessary because although cotton wicks so much better it doesn't last as long as traditional wicks) then a lot cheaper in the long run than buying "throw away" heads. I am not the only one to find the vape from this kind of set up pretty darn good Battery wise there are a lot of options on the market atm. The Mvp2 is a reliable favourite, but even it is being overshadowed by recent arrivals. The eleaf iStick is causing a stir, and for good reason. It isn't as good as some of the more expensive options, but it is worth the money they are asking for it. Have a look about and see which batteries you like the look of and then ask here if it is any good. That will save time as going through all the options would take a while The higher the mah rating the longer it should last between charges.

I'm not having any threading issues at all with adapter or without. It does seem to be putting out more power than I am asking it too though. Not a problem as I can just set it lower. It is a great little thing I have to say, but the talked about v2 will probably be even better and I suspect will appear pretty quickly.

You are pretty good with an mvp2 they have been around for a while and are a great work horse. There are a million new batteries appearing on the market atm, it is probably worth waiting to see which ones are still popular after people have had them for a while. I have had mixed results from fasttech. If they state something is authentic then it almost certainly is, if they don't state that it is, then it isn't. For the prices there and the free shipping, I bin any disappointments and am happy with the rest. I confess I have stopped buying tanks from fasttech after too many threading issues. (where they screw onto the battery) I have had some good tanks as well, but I've decided to stick to eu bought originals from now on. I will always buy drip tips from fasttech, they are so cheap and I've only had one that wasn't any good and for 50p then I can cope They do take weeks to arrive. I've ordered some BVC nautilus heads from them, but they haven't arrived yet. They state that they are authentic so I am expecting them to be fine and they are certainly cheaper. I used to say that everyone was daft for wanting more than 2 decent batteries ... I may or may not own a few more than 2

Hi Rach You aren't the only one to struggle at first. Hubby took a year to get completely free of cigarettes, while for me it was close to instant. Don't stress it, that will only make you lunge towards the smokes As perp said just about anything will fit on the mvp and the beauty ring is personal choice, I never use mine. I've never tried a 30s so I can't comment much on it. If you are still getting cravings, it may well be that it just isn't the right tank for you. There are plenty of options to try however. Everyone is different, but for me the most satisfying vape comes from a micro coil and cotton. I eventually learned to recoil, but I understand anyone who doesn't want to (took me 2 years to even try) There are a few places now where you can buy readymade microcoils including Virtual Vape and naturevape. If you go that route then the kanger aerotank mega is the best tank I have found to put them in (I haven't got on with most kanger tanks, but that one is fabulous) If you just want to use stock heads then the nautilus is something to look at. Make sure you get the BVC heads rather than the BDC ones. As for ohms then lower ohms give a stronger vape at lower volts but use up your battery faster. On a VV or VW battery I would stay around the 2.0ohm area to make your battery last longer, but if you are a power junky then go lower. While you are still dual fuelling then I would recommend changing the head regularly, at least once a week. A new head always gives more of a hit than a used one. This is another reason why the cotton wool system is great as you can just change the cotton every couple of days, giving you a new feeling head without costing anything. Different flavours are more satisfying than others, unfortunately that differs from person to person, so you need to find out what works for you Its worth experimenting a little with different tanks and flavours. Although you may waste a little money at first, it is nothing compared to what you will save once you find what works for you.

Sounds like a blown coil rather than a wick issue. Or a power issue ... Has he managed to press down the connection on his battery? It's easily done if he over-tightens everything like my OH does I use ordinary cotton wool, just make sure it is 100% pure, perfume and stuff makes an unpleasant vape You need to cut the old wicks on one side before you pull them out to stop them yanking on the coil.

I've never experienced this with i16s, but my stock was bought ages ago and so maybe quality control issues have crept in? Is he using a vv or vw battery? If so has he accidently put it on a much higher power? When you say wicks stop working, I presume you mean the replaceable head? If it is suddenly completely dead then is he screwing the heads in securely enough? If it is just a severe drop off in performance, then you can change the wicks on the i16s. Cut the silica next to the coil and pull it out the other side. Roll some cotton wool tightly to a width that can easily thread through the coils (you need to do this twice for each coil) Cut the cotton to the required length and off you go. You will probably get a better vape from them than previously I hope you get it sorted

Fasttech does loads of precoiled wires, these are "coil yourself" www.fasttech.com/p/1760909I personally really like NR in my protank style recoils I suppose the no res helps with not scorching the insulator? I didn't get scorching, but I swear I could taste plastic/rubber. I've tried with silicone and with standard and could still taste "something". I definitely get a better flavour using NR.
Shame fasttech doesn't do it in thicker wire, but they are so cheap that if I have to replace the coil more often it's no biggie

welcome to the forum Don't be afraid of mixing! It gets easy pretty fast, once you get used to it. Try not to buy too many concentrates in the beginning, it's addictive The nautilus is a good choice, but many people would agree with me that the new BVC coils are a big improvement on the old BDC ones. I haven't seen any full sized nautiluses being sold with BVC coils, but they will arrive soon I am sure. In the meantime, just buy some of the BVC coils that fit the nautilus mini and use them instead, they are completely interchangeable. Congrats on your new pastime

The OH has a couple of these, they aren't that much more expensive on amazon They look nice, but they aren't as supportive as some other stands, so only suitable for people without cats (for some reason knocking over vaping gear is an enjoyable pastime for a cat )

Beats me. A medicine is a drug or other preparation for the treatment or prevention of disease. What the hell is the disease this cures or prevents? If this is the only type of thing available, it might cure shinitis
