If he's been vaping for five years, I would think he'd come across the information that vaping dehydrates you somewhere along the line. It is common knowledge and right out there for anyone to see in all kinds of places. I'm surprised that he missed the memo.

Chantix is truly horrible. One friend went off in uncontrollable rage. and hallucinations. We figured out it was due to sleep deprivation from Chantix. Another wound up having other health problems that mysteriously disappeared once she stopped using the stuff. Chantix should automatically come with a therapist, padded room, and a straight jacket at no extra cost.

Wow, imagine that. New York has a judge who has common sense, does research to get facts before handing down judgements, and also has a thorough understanding of the English language. Wonders never cease.

Changed coil (about 9 times now), still too harsh. Redid juice again, changed tank, changed battery, changed tank (again), messed with wattage (before was always 3.8w) found that if I purchase a 30w coil rather than my usual 50w it is not as harsh (can puff twice before I'm coughing up a lung versus the first puff on 50w coil). This makes no sense to me whatsoever. 30W coils? Also, using the battery set at 3.8W and it's too harsh? I'd think OP wouldn't really be getting anything from that low wattage setting.

Are you sure that what you got was an authentic Atlantis and not a knock off? That's a problem with purchasing from eBay, some vendors are not as forthcoming as they should be. I hope the next one works better for you.

First off I want to ask what you mean by 30W and 50W coil. Watts are used in relation to power, which is your battery output. What resistance is your coil? That would be more helpful. Also, you don't mention what the PG/VG ratio of juice you're using. That makes a huge difference. More PG = a harder/harsh throat hit.

We stress getting back ups because you never know what will happen. What if you drop it and the battery no longer works? Do you want to wait a few days for another one to come in the mail? What happens if the battery just stops working for no reason? That can also happen. Even though they say you can vape while the iStick is charging, I wouldn't recommend doing that. So, when it's charging, what are you going to use? Getting back ups and back ups of back ups (in case of multiple failures -- it's happened to most of us on this forum), is always a good idea.

If the 3 mg of nic is working for you, then I wouldn't change a thing. If it's not quite doing it for you, go up a little. Personally, I started with 24 mg of nic in my juice to get me off cigarettes, but that was with a whole different set up. The tanks and coils these days are much different from back then so a lower amount may work just as well. You want to be watching the PG/VG levels of your juice, though. Too much VG and the juice will be too thick for the wick to properly absorb so you may get dry hits, which are not pleasant. Most people go with a 40 PG/60 VG or 30 PG/70 VG. I wouldn't go much higher on the VG than 70% or it would be too thick.

With all those tanks I hope you're buying more than one iStick 50W or at least another mod/battery for a back up.

I have seven of them but I use the 1.8 ohm coil and not the Clapton.

Long time no see, Joe. Good to have you back.

For someone who is still relatively new to vaping, I would suggest a battery that's integrated in the unit so you don't have to worry about getting just the right battery for temperature control or sub-ohming. If neither of these are on your horizon right now but you want something a step (or several steps) above an eGo battery and disposable tanks, I would suggest an Eleaf iStick 50W. I wouldn't suggest or recommend that you plug it into a USB to recharge. For safety's sake, I always use an AC adapter that's specially made for this unit. Even though I'm an advanced user of sorts, I still prefer the ease and convenience of not having separate batteries. I have both kinds but the iStick is my favorite even above my Provari, which is supposed to be the Cadillac of e-cigs. The iStick 50W has a 4400 mAh battery so I only have to charge it once every 3 - 5 days of near constant vaping. Buy two or more of these so you can use one while the other is charging. Due to some people having issues with these, I always take the tank off and turn the device off before charging, and never leave a charging battery unattended. Right now I have six of these in rotation with three more in the wings as back ups and have never had a problem with them although a couple of other members have had some issues. You can get them here for $34.95, which is an excellent price for the "simple pack" which only has the USB charging cord. http://www.myvaporstore.com/Eleaf-iSmoka-iStick-50W-4400mAh-Simple-Pack-p/elis-is50wbk.htm The Aspire Triton version 2 with a 1.8 ohm coil is my current favorite tank. I also do the mouth to lung and this tank is perfect for that in my opinion. For the intermediate type of tank, this one is on the higher end. Again, this is my opinion only. It can take sub-ohm coils, there are all kinds of different coils you can use with this tank but I don't like warm to hot vapor, cool is my temperature of choice. In the "kit" you'll get the tank (plastic) as well as a Pyrex tank so you can switch them out. One coil is 1.8 ohm and the other coil is a 0.5 ohm. You said you heard about coils that come with tanks and how you should just throw them out? Keep them in case of an emergency but otherwise, yeah, coils that come with tanks are usually... crap. Or nearly crap. Do yourself a favor and get 5-packs of replacement coils right off the bat. You'll never be sorry to have more coils on hand. This link here is the best price I've found and the vendor is excellent: https://www.mtbakervapor.com/tanks/aspire-triton-v2-clearomizer/ There are four different coils on this page: https://www.mtbakervapor.com/accessories/5pk-aspire-triton-replacement-coils/ There. That's my recommendation. Others should be along to give you theirs soon. @Earthling789 @jasonculp @Compenstine @cany Just to name a few... Let the games begin!

Relax. Your KGD pads are safe from me. I think there's still 76 pads left in my bag of them.

Those are very dangerous words to utter here. First, let me ask you some questions, then, we can get on to spending your money recommending equipment for you. Do you want a kit or go a la carte? Do you want a variable voltage/variable wattage device and/or TC (temperature control)? Do you have a preference for something that has the battery integrated into the unit or one where you can take the batteries out (this would require an additional purchase of a battery charger and batteries). How do you vape? Are you mouth to lung (like smoking a cigarette where you draw the vapor into your mouth first before inhaling) or direct lung (where you inhale directly into your lungs)? This is so we can better recommend the right style of tank for you. That will do for a start. Other questions will come later as we further fine tune the recommendations.

There are still A&W restaurants, they just use the package syrup. No more homemade made from scratch rootbeer.

Good place to start is to read past threads. There's a lot of good information in the comments. Welcome to Vapor Talk.

When I opened the first Triton V2, I was really surprised to find that modification. That was one of the things that didn't need to be "fixed" yet they did anyway. I have a confession to make: I ordered another V1 because I want to see if I can Frankenstein the best of the two versions together to make the perfect tank. I'm curious to see if the top of the V1 can fit on the body of the V2...

I can direct lung inhale but I miss the extra upper airflow control that the Triton version 1 had.

Yes, I can lung inhale with the 1.8 ohm coil. Is that what you're talking about or the extra long drip tip?

Do you have any horizontal coils other than Claptons you could try?

Personally, I prefer the 1.8 ohm coils for the Triton. I have mine set at 9.7W and get tons of vapor and flavor. Since I prefer a cooler vape, I also use an extra long drip tip to cool the vapor even more.

Our town had the very last A&W in the US that still made the rootbeer from scratch until it closed down last year. So sad. That homemade rootbeer was amazing! Now I want one and can't get it.

Ever hear of PBusardo?

I've got the popcorn! And just how do you know that feminine products have nothing to do with vaping? Some of it could. There is a possibility. Did you do research on this? Where's the proof! I wanna see the research and the funding source that paid for the research and... and... You do know that I'm just kidding, right?

Well... compared to those number, I guess I'm a rank amateur. Now I feel so much better. Thanks, Earthling. *runs off to order more Triton coils*
