Total Noob

So, did I make the right decision everyone?
Looks like great gear. The iStick with a Kanger type clearomizer? Not a fan of the Hangsen jooses personally, but if they work for you - awesome. And those look like interesting flavours - cherry tobacco and mixed fruit? Enjoy and tell us about it.
 
For R1500 I would tell any newcomer to get 2 x Spinners (batteries), a Nautilus Mini tank, a KangerTech Mini Protank 3 (for spare and they're great while being cheap as chips). Some spare coils and you're good to go.

Juice wise, at least 12mg juice. When that cig craving hits, 0mg won't help (as everyone says)

And.... welcome :)
 
This is going well so far, haven't touched a cig since Sunday morning (was finishing the pack)
Vape is working well, I need a decent tank though I think. This one coughs and splutters and I get the occasional bit of juice in the mouth. The juice is 18mg, feels a bit harsh, taste is okay. Bought it at the vape shop thing in Melrose Arch

Great start... it's so important to get a decent tank and a variable voltage device as soon as you can... and more important that anything else is to find a juice you like! I also felt 18mg too harsh when I started and I immediately went to 12mg and stayed there for a long time and was quite satisfied craving wise on it. Your gut feel will guide you on this journey and so will the rest of us here! ;-)

Good to hear. How are you enjoying the iStick? How long does the battery last for you?
Consider getting a mAN (mini Aspire Nautilus). Those Hangsen juices I think are high in PG, which can be quite harsh.
 
Thanks for the support dudes. Yeah, I'll try another brand soon in 12mg, hopefully once I get the Nautilus and new juice it will be smoother and tastier. Why did I need a new expensive hobby?
Today was the first charge since I opened the box on Saturday, 3 days. Pretty good I imagine?

That's great battery life...makes me excited to get my iStick :D
 
Also am I doing something wrong, technique wise, that causes the crackling/popping sounds and occasional discharge into my mouth?
It didn't even buy me flowers first.
Advice would be appreciated, thanks all
 
Well the Nautilus is really the best commercial tank, the flavour will be quite a bit better!

And yes better quality juice will be a lot smoother. I also found Hangsen to be harsh.

Have a look through the retailer section, we really are spoiled with good local and imported juice.

Vape King is close to Monte Casino, and you can even taste some juices before buying.

As for the online stuff available from forum retailers, all good stuff, so things will get smoother.

That's just a rubbish coil. It will be minimal with a Nautilus
 
Cool, I'll do some looking around. Thanks mate

You could try lowering the power (watts) you use. I've read on here (somewhere) that higher power sometimes cause the juice to heat up too fast and then jump onto your tongue instead of turning into vapor. Haven't experienced it myself, but you can try to see if that helps.
 
I'm only at 7.3W, would that be too high?
Looking at tanks now, "cloutank M3 for dry herb" anyone have any experience with this?

We steer away from Dry Herb discussions on the forums... ;-)
 
Congrats on coming as far as you have... You well on your way in this wonderful journey.
Soon you gonna start feeling way healthier and start tasting everything again.

The crackling, popping and spitting is either the juice or the coils. I would try a different juice, preferably with a higher VG content, if that doesn't work then get yourself a mini Nautilus or mini protank 3. Both of those are awesome tanks with really good flavour. Between the 2 the mini Nautilus is the winner in my opinion.

Best of luck and please keep us updated as to how it's going. If you have any questions... Fire away
