Hi guys and gals, noob vaper and noobie to forums here. Just a little about my vaping journey so far. I got a TWISP as a Christmas present last year and decided to give it try in the New Year. After my first week of vaping and smoking I decided to give up the analogues and havent looked back since. My curiosity about vaping brought me to this site and so the journey began. Three months later and after reading the reviews posted here I got my self a Nautilus Mini and a 30W iStick. My first vape on my new gear was like “so that’s what I’ve been missing out on”. Hopefully one day I will graduate to a REO
Current Vape Gear:
2 TWISPs
2 iStick 30 watts
Nautilus Mini
Tobeco Aqua V1 Clone RTA
Stinky free since 08/01/2015
Welcome to the forum @Blu_Marlin
Great gear you have there and nice to see that the forum has helped you
Wishing you all the very best for your vaping journey!
Andre has covered some of the cigar tobacco juices -
I would just add that perhaps you should also sample some of the tobacco juices - i.e. Not specifically the cigar tobacco ones - you may find one that you really like.

Today, OFICIALLY, 1 Week, Stinky FREE!! 
Way to go - congrats, you have done the hard yards!Today, OFICIALLY, 1 Week, Stinky FREE!!
@Imthiaz Khan, thank you for the welcome.
@Andre thank you for the information and your kind offer but I wouldn’t want you to go out of your way. I’ve got a bottle of 6mg Vape Elixir Black Cigar and it’s a decent vape. It’s a little woody and has little hint of a smokey aftertaste. I’ll be sure to track down some of the above mentioned liquids. I currently try to use around 3mg nic content. I have some juice that has 9 and 18mg nic. I normally dilute those down to around 3mg. This also dilutes the flavour but i can live with that.
The Alien Vision ones are linked to a local supplier in my post above.

So got an offer, and going for it!
A kind samaritan offered to sell me a REO Grand LP with an Odin, picking it up tomorrow evening.
Then off to VapeKing next week for 4 Efest 3100MaH batteries, 4 port Nitecore charger and new Drip Tip, and I'm in ReoVille! Can't wait!!!

Thank you for welcome @Silver. I’m positive this forum has helped a lot of people find their vaping nirvana
. After using the Twisp for a while, curiosity got the better of me but upgrading was daunting as there were too many options and TLAs, RBA, RDA, RTA, VV, VW, Mechs, atomizers etc. After reading the reviews and posts here and all I wanted was a tank/atomiser that didn’t leak and a mod/battery that was reliable so I went for the Nautilus mini and the iStick. Its served me well so far.I’ve tried the Twisp, Liqua and Vape Elixir tobacco flavours. All were pretty decent. I add a few drops of vanilla flavour to the tobacco e-juice and that rounds off the flavour a bit. I will definitely keep my mind open about the various e-liquids. I am currently trying to make my own NET with the left over cigars that I have. It’s a bit weird because I would normally keep them moist in my humidor but now I have a few left out to dry for the NET process. It`s going to take a while and a lot of tinkering before I get it right though.

Hi @Smoky Jordan (Barry)
Most welcome to the forum.
Congrats on the vaping and kicking cigs since Feb. Great achievement!
I love the way you summed it up - vaping has got you hooked just "too lekker" - great way of putting it. 100% agree with you on that
I like your Avatar pic. Really cool.
Enjoy the forum - we have a great place here
Most welcome to the forum. Congrats on kicking the stinky habit - a huge achievement. Shout if you have any questions at all. Happy vaping.
Thanks for the kind words
Thank you... I do do have a question for now. I recently bought the Smok XPRO M80 PLUS and Atlantis V2 combo. I'm currently using the 0.3 ohm coils and boy oh boy what flavour and clouds.I can't go really more than 65 watts otherwise its too much for me. It's quite different from my Melo and Subtank mini.
But I wanted to find out, is that whether I can take out the 0.3 ohm coil that I have been using and put the 0.5 ohm coil in to use for a while and switch back to the 0.3 ohm.
You have great gear. I do not know of any reason why you could not do that.
Great! Would I have to reprime the 0.3 coil if it was sitting say for a week whilst I was using the 0.5
Probably some depending on how much juice it retains whilst not in the device.
Thanks Andre
Hi all. Need some help. I realise this is prob not the right thread but sure you can point me in the right direction.
I am currently using the nautilus mini on the istick (small one). I use the 1.8ohm coils.
Since this is my first REAL devise since the twisp, i have been really satisfied.
However, the coils have become a serious prob! I've noticed that they are slightly modified (little holes at bottom where juice absorbs have been made larger) besides the obvious visual that i can spot, the coils are just not performing.
I am going through a coil every 5 days. By day 3 they are burnt. By day 5 they are FRIED
At first i thought is me so i reduced my devise to 4.1 v, i used to puff nicely on 4.5v. That made no diff
Then i thought it may be the juice (had coffee) so changed coil again.
Anyway zip improvement, it burnt regardless of oil or that i had reduced even further to 3.9v
I am on my 5th coil since 27/3
Is driving me nuts.
My provider says nothing they can do and i must wait for new batch.
Please help!!!!!

Welcome @Smoky Jordan
Congrats on kicking the smoking habit...vaping is a great thing to be hooked on
As for switching coils, the best would be when you take out the current one and soak it in some clean water for a day or so. Then take it out and leave it to dry. This way, when you go back to it, you will need to prime it again, but you can switch to another juice flavour without too much flavour contamination

While I haven't used a Nautilus in a long time, you do sometimes get a pack of dud coils - it's uncommon with the nautilus coils, but it does happen sometimes. I'd try a second pack to see if that makes a difference
Also, if the coils seem modified it might be that they are fakes/clones - check with your supplier.
Unfortunately I can't be of any more help, but hopefully some of the members who still use this device may be able to shed more light on your problem
