Indeed all this info is of interest to me, as I like to see the views of others who use stuff and what they do with it. I would normally just vape with 1.6-2.1 ohm coils, and that is because of the coils supplied with a new tank, as I didn't really have a clue about how to use them, and just re-ordered the same. All I did was to start off at about 8 watts and then gradually increase the wattage until it the vape got too hot, burnt or both, and then back off to find the setting that suited me. I have increased (spending) the amount of mods of the box type, which is the iStick 30W, Cloupor Mini 30W, and the MVP3 Pro. so my range of wattages (incl. the MVP2 and VTR2 my year old mods) are 11W - 60W, which should just about cover all of my requirements as I get newer tanks with lower ohm ratings. I have recently moved into the .5 ohm range with the iSub tank which is a perfect match for my MVP3 Pro (but works just as well with any of the 30 watters) and discovered how nice a lung draw is compared to mouth-lung. I find that about 23.5W is about right for me, as any higher then the vape tends to be a bit too warm for my liking, although some reviewers vape it at 30W or a bit higher. My Cloupor Mini 30W I bought from Banggood.com for £18 (near enough) and it only took 12 days to reach me, faster I think than Ft, and it's genuine and doesn't suffer from the explodingitis - at least not on test. So I am enjoying the vape from a .5 ohm coil, but, I still enjoy my iClear 30S, and the two Nautilusesses - Mini and maxi with the new BVC coils with 1.6 and 1.8 coils. I rarely use my Aspire ET-S BDC/BVC, iClear X.I (no coils) and iClear 30 tanks now, as they are not as enjoyable (compared to all the new tanks) as they used to be. The wife uses my iClear Gladius as it suits her, since she is a casual vaper and not fully off the ciggies. As you can see, I like Innokin and Aspire products.  |

Thanks for that mate, nice to know that if I choose to charge it via the USB port, it won't re-arrange my handsome features by exploding. Nice bit of kit though. |

I thought this was about me when I saw the title... I wish they would bring one out with a screw driver attached instead of a hammer.. |

I have thanked him in another thread, but this is where I should have posted, as perhaps more people will see this. My MVP2 510 pin became disconnected, making the mod useless, and igual offered to repair it, so I sent it off to him. He did a magnificent job of repairing it, by putting on a 510 spring loaded connection on top, and now it looks like it should have been when it first came out. I have a few ego adaptors should I need to run something like my Aspire ET-S BDC/BVC tanks, but mainly now I just use 510 atties. I looks fantasic with the new shiny 510 connector now, and I am really pleased with it, and so glad that he brought it back to life for me. Great chap, and great work, and very pleasant to deal with. Hat's off.. |

At least you won't pay postage from Myepack if you order over £50. |

I am tempted with these batteries, but so far I just buy from Puremist, 2 x 25R's for £9.99 and free delivery.
They do 2 x Efest purple's 2800mah for £12.99 delivered.
So I am not sure about spending a lot more for a couple of VTC5's........are they really more superior ?

Ah buggritt, I am a retired old git, as I gave up that work malarky back in 2009......too much effort required for that little 'hobby'. So it is just as easy for me to whip out the battery of the Cloupor, stick it in the charger, and then pick the next mod to carry on vaping, or just shove in a fresh battery. The trouble is, that the excitement of actually getting the Cloupor today has diminished a bit since it is now competing for some vaping love amongst the new Coolfire IV, iStick 30W and MVP3 Pro.......it's a hard choice as to which one to use. |

I started at 18mg, then reduced down to 12mg, then 6mg and now usually order 3mg, or 6mg if that is all that is left. Sometimes I would take 0mg in my local vape shop, but that was only because they didn't have my flavour in anything higher. When I got home I just decanted it into the bottle I already had. Now as I am a bit of a chain vaper, and especially now that I have this iSub tank where I am constantly pulling big lung hits, I have heard that if I did this with a higher nic level then I would probably explode with a much higher intake of nicotine. This is far too easy for me sitting at my PC and forgetting how much I am liquid I am using. If out and about, then my use is much less. So I am thinking that chain vaping is better with low nic levels, and well spaced vaping then higher levels are ok. My theory may well be a load of poo though. |

Just got the Innokin iSub tank from Amazon for about £14 I think. Wow, this has converted me to lung inhales as to me this is the only way to use it, on my new MVP3.0 Pro with the .5 ohm coil, and not at all worried about the 'plastic' tank on it. I may get another one (different colour tank) or the 'G' version...or both. Full of Island Custard - Captain's Custard Donut 3mg 70/30 PG/VG which produces such a thick, creamy and luverly vape. A whole new experience for me. I thought my Nautili tanks were good..... |

Smoked for about 57 years, gave up in Dec 2013 for about 7 months, then due to 'reasons' took up smoking again, but have managed to cut it down to about 3-4 ciggies a day, after increased spending on shiny new mods, tanks and juices. It's a darn sight harder to quit totally the 2nd time around, but then I am just a weak willed male. |

Yep, I reckon I will love it too, and about the same size as my iStick 30W, fits nicely in the hand or pocket. As for the fire hazard scare, well, since the battery is so easy to remove/replace, I don't see the point of using the USB charging port, unless someone somewhere only has just one 18650 battery, which i think would be a bit weird. |

If out and about and my mobile phone gets a bit deaded, then as long as I have either the MVP2 or MVP3, then I can easily bring the phone back to life again. |

I must admit that I have watched a few reviews on YT about SMOK mods, and mainly the results seemed to be less than impressive. However, I am glad about that, because when I see good reviews of something I am interested in, my trigger finger hovers over the 'buy' button. The MVP3 Pro is now my highest wattage mod, and it is quite an impressive bit of kit. The only gripe I have about it, is the same as the MVP2 where the bottom corners tend to dig into the bottom of my palm, although as the MVP3 is a bit taller, it doesn't niggle me quite as much. Would I sit it in a dark corner somewhere and forget about it ? NOPE !! Lovely bright screen with big easy to read info. unlike the iStick 30W and the Coolfire IV. |

Ordered and despatched on 2nd June, and arrived today, so about 12 days for delivery. Not bad at all from Banggood.com in China. Chucked on a tank with a coil that was on the way out, with some juice in it that is a 'go to' if I am short of flavours, did the 30W fire test for 15 seconds, and it shut down just like it is supposed to with no 'Too hot' message. So, it seems I have a good one. But I will only fit an Efest IMR 35A battery when I intend to use it.....scaredey pants is me.. Now I am just awaiting the Atlantis V1 + V2 atties which were shipped out on 7th June, so in theory should get here about Thurs/Fri next week. Only just noticed though, that these are cloned versions, so I dunno how good they are. I should read item descriptions a little more carefully in the future. |

My Postie took me by surprise this morning and delivered about an hour early...yippeee-doo-dah-thingies.
One iSub tank + 5 replacement 0.5 Ohm coils (ebay)
Wow, I have never had such huge vapour production, and the flavour is damn good on my MVP3 Pro @ 22W (still experimenting) with fitted .5 Ohm coil.
Isle of Custard - Fool's Custard.
Later I will get the iSub G model.
Virtual.Vape - Mint Humbug, Pink Custard, and Turkish Delight, and Banana Split, (30ml each) new flavours to try out.
Not tried any of these just yet, as I am trying to leave them alone for a while, just in case I don't like them straight out of the bottle.
It is hard though.
I have had Banana Split before -'WitcheLiquid', so fancied trying out VV's version.
Still awaiting from China - Clourpor Mini 30W, Atlantis v1 and V2.
I already have a replacement 5ml tank ready, well two actually, since I managed to double order. The cat had my brain cell that day and she wouldn't let me have it back.
So, maybe next week then - ordered on Tues 2nd June.
