New device to KICK Twisp

Silver said:

@Gothicross , you are doing the right thing to ask all the questions. And I can imagine how confusing it all sounds. Especially when doing research online and not being in a vape shop.

But dont worry, ask away and we will try guide you

You asked a question about cost and the cheaper option. If you go the stock coil route (ie buying pre-made coils) it can work out quite pricey over the longer term because the coils need to be replaced every now and then. And occasionally one gets a dud coil or one cannot easily find replacement coils, especially on older devices.

If you go the rebuildable route, the advantage is that the coil can last much, much longer since you just rewick every now and then. And its considerably cheaper. And most often, once you get it right, the flavour and vape experience is much better. You can also configure the vape to what you like and it is an ongoing wonderful hobby. Downside is it takes time, care and patience. If you just want to insert a new coil and go, then a rebuildable device may frustrate you.

Picking the perfect device first time is also challenging. It takes a bit of time for you yourself to discover what you like and dont like. What others may like, you may hate. Coming from the Twisp Ion, (which i have not tried myself) to something like the suggestions above should yield a much bigger more powerful vape with loads more vapour. You may like that but you may not. If you could go to a vape shop, it would be good to try out some devices to see for yourself.

All the best and hang in there

Heeeeeyyyyy Silver!

You're the one who got me here in the first place (Mega-Uber-Wink)

I followed the advice and my Vaperesso just arrived 4 hours ago. It's a BIG improvement and so far its a ton of fun! Great battery life, unlike twisp my flat looked "hot-boxed" after a few puffs. Got myself Black Bear's Strawberry Milkshake 6 mg's, just squirt it in, switched it on, @ 40 watts (wow, goood) played a bit and dropped to 15 - 20 watts... IT WAS PURRRRRR-FECT I direct inhale and I like "WTF'd?!" out loud, to my amazement it felt like normal breathing but a huge cloud came out. Quite impressive!

The 1st refill ran out and I slipped in Vape-King's Cream Soda 18mg's @ 20 watts and chocked my lungs out, I forgot that the mg's need to be lower for direct inhale. wheew.... first mistake and lesson learned...

Battery ran out after lots of testing and trying. Charging now.... Excuse the next description but... The damn USB is so tight on the device its like an elephant having coitus with a virgin -_-

This is a whole new journey and hobby waiting for me to explore. So impressed with the high quality materials used in the production line on the device, sleek and really just a massive colossal improvement from Ion to Tarot.

Stumbled across a few bad reviews, but I am keeping positive that Vaperesso and VapeKing will live up to its standards and not the few crappy reviews. (Bad luck tend to strike sometimes, right?)

I am seeing myself growing soon, buying more vapes, experimenting, learning and asking a billion and more questions.

Thanx alot for all the extremely helpful advice and encouragement! YOU ALL ROCK!!!!!

My conclusion and observations THUS far....

This forum is "THE $H!+ !!!!!!!!!!!!" Never imagined each and everyone, would come out here and offer all this inspiring advice to get me going. Hahahahaha, got 3 of my friends started on Twisps, 5 hours earlier they were pounding me for NOT telling them about this devices before they bought Twispies.... hahahaha so jealous, they are... Can't blame me, I learned this wonderful truth not even 5 days ago, but they are reselling and buying some decent devices soon (Two of them got their Twisp last week and wish to get these NOW)

Base fact that cigarettes are very unhealthy, this is clearly the healthier option. From all I learned and remembered their is no harm in vaping (except the ingredients when they add Strychnine and forgot to relabel, now saying "artificial flavouring", just cautious about all the juices out there)

Just a big fat thanks for ALL of you on this thread, especially Silver, Googled reviews and stumbled on the forum, read his "words o' wisdom" and applied to get into this place. Amazing.
