Hi scoops to AAEC. The advice Get Off My Cloud gave about refilling will help you keep the cost down. If that e-cig is keeping you off the baccy, stick with it. And well done for switching. However, if you find that you go back to smoking baccy, ask here for better gear to use that won't break the bank, or be too flashy.

Well team, first off, 20 days off the smokes, woot!!! I love my Kayfuns. I love everything about them. The look, the build quality, rebuilding them and vaping with them. But I keep seeing great reviews and recommendations for the Kanger Subtank Mini and I get frustrated that my personal experience with it was so bad in comparison. So I got the box out again and revisited it this morning. With the experience I have gained from recoiling and wicking the Kayfuns I immediately dumped the ready made coil that was in the tank and built my own 28 gauge Kanthal 1.6ohm coil and wicked it with the bacon cotton. I actually found the Subtank a little quicker to rebuild than the Kayfuns (the coil sits higher and just less bits to fiddle with in total I guess). I pre-juiced the RTA, filled the tank up and let it sit for 15 minutes, before adding the tighter Kayfun drip-tip. Oh my. It works like a charm. Yes it is still a little too airy for my taste and I prefer the Kayfun's draw for sure, but the vape and flavour is spot on now. The complete opposite to what I had experienced the first two times I tried it. The only thing I can think of is that I had two duff pre-built coils, because I did try two (one that came with the tank and one 1.5 that I had bought). I can't believe it, but my own RBA deck works like a charm. I realise that reporting this now makes me look a little foolish considering the journey over the last two weeks and what I said earlier, but I think it's important for anyone who might read this thread in the future to know the final outcome. I love my Kayfuns, I use them daily and that won't be changing, but at least I can also now that the Subtank Mini is a good bit of kit and can finally appreciate what all the fuss is about. Sorry about my previous words Kanger, but your pre-built coils sucked (or didn't as the case may be), so it's your own fault eh!Thanks again all! Now that shows class, owning up to a mistake. I applaud you

strangely home insurance seems not to be so "out to fleece you", my annual insurance premium has gone down buy 20 a month on last years price reversing the £2/mth increase trend over the last 5 years every year I have shopped around to se if I can get the insurance at a better price and every year the current provider's renewal has actually been cheaper than the comparison sites so I've stuck with them. back when I had a car I would ring up the various companies and give them a figure I thought was reasonable as a current best quote (normally about half the renewal notice figure but never lower than £300) and then see who could offer a better price, never failed to get my insurance for under £300 sometimes with some added perks like free hire car if yours is trashed and its not your fault etc it was a trick my dad taught me because they always try to fleece you, and it worked extremely well until I was forced to quit on medical grounds some years ago, but I suspect the same principle idea would still work today Nothing strange about home insurance being reasonable. Car insurance is compulsory, so they ALL know you have no choice. You will pay it regardless as you need your car. You don't need house/contents insurance by law, so they compete for you business with lower rates.

You did miss out the hygiene part kreed (HSE would have your mixing room for breakfast). But that's about all. Gotta be careful not to cross-contaminate....

I only vape directly to lung since I got my first ST Mini/iStick30 setup. Only problem with the newer kit, like the TFV4 tank and Velocity dripper, is that my lungs aren't big enough

Hi andi53 to the forum. Sit down on the couch, and tell us about your childhood, what other mods and atty's do you run?Nothing special, all three Lemo's, a few Kanger subtank mini's somewhere (not seen them in months). A rash of clones: Silverplay V1, Taifun GT2, Rose V2, Squape RS (nice with the B deck), Hurricane, Ubertoot UTA V2, Kayfuns (commence swearing), Aqua V2's and a few others as well. RDA's: Apart from holding onto a couple of IGO's I sold them all and am starting again, If I cant get authentic (which I can rarely afford) I always try to get Tobeco if I can, good quality gear. I've recently added the Velocity and Aeolus V2. Got a clone Aeolus V1 coming from FT, if it's good I want an authentic. The Aqua V2 is a good little dripper as well. Mods: 50w isticks, a rash of Kboxes (indestructible things), MVP3 and Pro, I quite like the Apsire CF Mod and CF Sub Ohm bat, have one of each. Have some mechs as well, love the M-vapes Cluster Mod, got a decent Stingray, hate the Don Equis box mod, flatters to deceive. That's not all of my gear, a crazy situation! I also have / had this thing about having at least two of everything, I've almost cured that aspect of the madness. hi n welcome Andy, sounds like you have a lot of experience with vaping and consequently should become a valuable contributor Hmm, hopefully. Based on outlay alone then yes I'm highly experienced. Actually, I'm just always skint Crikey, that's a nice collection. You'd do best to steer clear of anything robby posts

Hi @nursemorph, and to the forum. You seem to have been given all the advice you need to begin your journey. Just a word of caution, in case you see a deal *too good to be true* on ebay or the like, they are nearly always scams. And if you don't know a vendor, ask on here and we will point you to a better one. Good luck

I'd recommend a Taifun GT or GT2 happyloman. Easy to build on, easy to wick, customisable. I run mine at about 0.8 - 1.1 ohms, but you could build it at 2.5 ohms if you prefer. Incidentally, you could build a coil of any amount of ohms for any tank, whether it will be your your liking or not, is down to your style or vaping.
