    We all mostly call is Slowtech around here. While the prices are low with free shipping, you usually have to wait a lot longer for the stuff to get to you. If you don't mind the wait and can get by without whatever you ordered, it's usually a good place to buy gear. EBay is a place we mostly warn people about due to too many knock offs being sold there masquerading as original name brand items. It's buyer beware, especially for mods and batteries. If you're getting things like wraps and drip tips, it's a great place to shop.

    I love spending your money, too, @Walt. NO! Do not send me stuff!!! I have more back ups and stuff and more stuff that it's piling up faster than I can pay it forward. The people I help stop smoking in my area are very well stocked and then some. One of these days I'll pull out all of the stuff I have and put it into a pile and reorganize to figure out what I have and what goes with what...

    Good for you! The "wicks" that you speak of are included inside the 0.4 ohm V8 Baby-Q2 Dual Core and the 0.15 ohm Octuple core. These two coils (or "cores" as identified here), are already pre-built heating coils with wicks included inside.

    I love my Nitecore 4 bay charger. Yep, good idea to use an external charger whenever possible. Safer is better.

    Sounds like you're on the right track.  Two coils that come with the kit are all ready to prime and vape.  Add batteries and e-juice and you're good to go.  Do look up Battery Mooch.  He is  THE battery expert for vaping.  Also give good consideration to getting a good battery charger.  While the mod will charge the batteries internally, I have seen incidents.  Always safer to use an external charger.

    My bad, @Walt! I put the decimal point in the wrong place. That should've read 0.15 ohm and not .015 as I typed. Thanks for the assist. I knew you'd steer them in the right direction.  :D

    Scroll down until you see "product includes" and it looks like it has everything you need to get you started except eliquid and two 18650 batteries. You'll want to make sure the batteries you purchase can handle loads that a .04 and .015 ohm coil demands. If we can get @Walt over here, he'll be able to better steer you in the right direction.

    You don't like your truck? Leaving anything charging unattended, especially in the cold or hot like your truck, is only an accident waiting to happen. I would only use an AC adapter and plug it in at your house to charge. Do not put it on to charge and then go to bed leaving it alone. Since you leave it charging in your truck it could be that it's not getting a full charge, your charger isn't working right, or it could be you have a bad mod. Batteries really shouldn't be left in any kind of extreme temperature condition.
    What wattage are you using it? If you're using it at 50W, that will also drain the battery faster than if you have it set at 10W. This would also make a different on what resistance the coil in your tank is. I'm a mouth to lung vaper and like a cooler vape so I use a 1.8 ohm coil. With this resistance, I only use 7.8W - 8.4W (as the coil gets used the resistance goes up slightly therefore I need more power as it gets older). With this low wattage I only need to charge my battery once a week - I rotate between two and three tank/battery units. Does that make sense?
    We stress getting back up around here. Once you get the back ups, get back ups of your back ups. Then, get back ups for those. You can never have too many. I've gone through four back ups of battery, tank, coil... in one instance due to various reasons -- nearly all of us have at some point. When that happens, you'll be glad you listened and got the back ups or you'll wind up going, "They said to get back ups and I wish now that I did..." We see this all the time.

    The Cleito is a 22 mm tank and it will work just fine with the Eleaf iStick 50W mod. I have over a dozen iStick 50W and all of them have built in internal batteries, none of the come out.

    Sorry, but there really is no such thing as "Which one is better" or "which one is the best." It all depends on which one works be the best for what you like, how you vape, and what works best for your lifestyle. Vaping is so subjective, that what works well for one person will be nothing but trouble and terrible vapes for another. Only you will know what's best for you.

    @Tam nailed it.  Nobody can tell you which you will like.  It's also a pretty tall order to do a full comparison of the two devices.  I suggest you google the two with the word "review" after them and look for video reviews.  Three reviewers that I like to watch are DJLSB Vapes, PBusardo, and Mike Vapes.  Zophie vapes is pretty good to come to think of it.  The rest to me are just salesmen.

    Way back in the day when vaping was fairly new and much less complicated than it is now, the amount of nicotine in an eliquid was equated to different strengths of cigarettes. For example, 24 mg of nicotine was roughly the equivalent to a pack of Marlboro Reds (shorts). 12 mg was similar to a pack of Marlboro Lights... and so on. Today, we have sub-ohm coils, voltage vs. wattage vs. temperature control, etc. The sub-ohm alone, without adding in how coils and tanks are so much more efficient in nicotine delivery, totally skew the old way of figuring out the nicotine per pack per tankful ratio. Sorry, but I haven't heard anything that helps figure it now these days with today's equipment.

    Always start low (around 10W or 14W), vape a few times. If that doesn't give you a satisfactory flavor and/or vapor, turn it up a few and vape again. Keep doing this until you get a harsh vape or it tastes slightly burnt. Turn it down a little and that should be the sweet spot for that coil and juice. There is no "best temp" for everyone, it's whatever is "best" for you. Vaping is very subjective and very personal. What works for someone else may not work for you. We call it "vaping" and not "smoke," if something is "smoking," that means your temperature is set too high and something is burning.

    OMG!  I feel sorry for what I am about to write, but you are a disaster waiting to happen!  Here is where you can find a coil calculator and see for yourself the differences in resistance between wires:  http://www.steam-engine.org/coil.html    Apply that to the study you did on Ohm's Law.  Not knowing the difference is how people end up with half a face.

    A greater nicotine percentage will give you more throat hit.  Greater percentage of PG will also help a little.  Some flavors also are more harsh than others.

    Three is not very strong. 6 is stronger, the higher the number, the more nicotine is in the eliquid. I'd go with either a 12 or 18 and mix with what you already have to get stronger than six mg. Just to be on the safe side, get the 12 or 18 and use that. If it's too strong, dilute it a little in a different bottle a little at a time with the eliquid that you already have (3 or 6) so you don't screw up the original amount of eliquid.

    6mg is twice as strong as 3mg.  You might want to try 12mg to get more nicotine.  If you mix equal amounts of the 3 and 6 you will get about 4.5mg.  Somewhere between the 3 and the 6.
