Dang! Let's all crash Krystal's for a vape tasting party. Anybody with me?

The Spinner kit that was suggested earlier, is spot on for what you need. It is Variable Volt... that means that if 3.7volts isn't doing it for you, just turn it up a notch or 2 or 5 until you find the ooooooommmmmph that is right for you at the time. Turn it back down for another juice or another time.... it's your call. Can't go wrong with a Spinner.

Also, as suggested, try juice that has at least 20% VG added to the mix.

Once you get the cap off, you can stick a round toothpick in the center hole to plug it. Then you don't have to be so careful when you add the new juice.

The kit that Jeffb linked to looks like it'll fit the bill for you. Now you'll need e-liquid. The amount of VG content in the e-liquid is what will give you the most vapor BUT! keep in mind that with higher VG the thicker the juice and you'll have more of a chance of gumming up your clearomizer/cartomizer. I'd suggest going with a juice that's either 50 PG/50 VG or 40 PG/60 VG. That should give you plenty of vapor. My personal recommendation would be to go to EC Blends to get your juices. They allow all kinds of customization.

Oooooh, and they have green...

Did you look at the vision spinner kit? That's two vv batteries. I mean you could go drop hundreds on mods but I doubt they will be any more satisfying than those. If you're determined to spend more money get a Provari or a Darwin. I think the juice delivery is the most important aspect. I would check out maybe a vivi nova or carto tank. There are also rba's but those take a little learning curve to get optimal performance. Listen to the members here, we don't recommend things that aren't good.

My wife told me the other day that the reason that she prefers 18 mg. over 24 mg. is because she loves to vape, and she can't vape as much when she's using higher nic levels. I'm the same way...I just love vaping, and only use higher levels at work when I can't vape as much as I'd like to. It just goes to show you that many of us enjoy vaping more for the taste than for the nicotine.

Aw, thanks, Rixter. Seriously, though, I wouldn't steer you wrong. They're almost the same color. Your wife is gonna love it.

Long story short I'm not in a place where I can put the pics up on VT but can send you the pics via email. If you'll send me an email to tameiki at gmail.com I'll forward the pics.

My cell camera hates me. It makes the first picture look like the drip shield is pink when it's definitely the same color of purple as the Spinner. The second pic is better but still not totally accurate. The colors match *almost* perfectly. There's just a teeny tiny minute difference in shade but it's hardly noticeable the colors are so close. The Spinner's purple is just a touch darker than the shield.

I've got the purple one and it matches the purple spinner well.

Oops. Need to add that it's a purple drip shield cone. Hope that's also okay.

You're doing great, OP. Either one, the Twist or the Spinner is a great choice. The Spinner is larger & lasts longer in between charges, and is easier to read the numbers (except the chrome one is still kinda hard if your eyes are old like mine). The Twist, obviously lol, is shorter, slenderer, but the button placement is a little more comfortable, but not drastically so. You can't go wrong with either one, and when you're ready for backups, just pick up the batteries of the ones you want, without having to get the entire kit, but I must confess, the whole kit comes in handy for traveling and stuff, or if a charger goes bonkers on ya or something.

I second the Vision Spinner! It has quickly become my favorite. You might want to start out with a 650 mAh or 900 mAh. The bigger the numbers, the longer the charge will last. Keep in mind that the unit itself will also be a little longer. If you go with the 1300 mAh, it's the same length as the 900 but the 1300 is wider. For your first one I'd recommend the 900 mAh. Just my two cents.

EC Blends is a favorite of mine to buy juice. You can customize until the cows come home. And maybe then some. They have great flavors and even better customer service!

They do! I use my T2, T3 and MT3s on my Vision Spinners. You don't need any adapters at all.

I replied in your other post. Pick up the vision spinner kit. The twist is a great battery and the spinner is basically the same but you get more bang for your buck. 1300mah will typically last the majority of new vapers the whole day. I would also pick up a vivi nova mini. You could get into cartos and carto tanks but you need to just keep it simple for now until you get into vaping. I would stay away from anything that's pre filled but that's just me. Cartos are the only thing that come pre filled so I wouldn't worry with it. Just get into vaping and you will see there's really nothing to worry about. You, in time, will try many things. Some will be awesome some will be a waste of money. Just get your feet wet in the world of vaping then dive in once you know what you like.

I just picked up a purple spinner, a purple mt3, two mt3 replacement coils, a black svt nova, a 510 to ego adapter and another metal drip tip. The spinner and mt3 is for the Ms.

Since analogs have been around for so long, there has been a lot of testing done on nicotine content vs. absorbtion. The accepted rule of thumb seems to be that each analog contains about 5mg of nicotine and approximately 1mg is absorbed through the smoking process. (can't accredit this) For me, that meant when i was smoking 30 cigarettes a day, I was absorbing approximately 30mg of nicotine through smoking.
Now, as a vaper, I usually vape about 3-4ml of 12mg juice daily. That equates to about 36-48mg of nicotine intake daily. Based on this I figured that I was virtually 'no worse off' even if almost all the nicotine ingested was absorbed. The question I have always had is 'how does absorbtion with ecigs compare to analogs?'. At a vape meet last year, I had the opportunity to broach that question with Kurt Kistler (AEMSA subject matter expert) a chemist with experience in ecigs and nicotine. According to my conversation with him, his professional opinion is that the way ecigs are designed (to maximize vapor production) is not the most condusive to nicotine absorbtion and that only approximately 10% of the nicotine is absorbed. Now, this is one person's opinion and I know of no specific scientific studies to back this up ......but WOW! If that is even close to accurate that means i am only absorbing approximately 3-5mg of nicotine a day! Far less than with analogs and giving potential additional credence to the Wiki article stating that nicotine intake is the most important thing.
Just my $.02 as I celebrate 2 years analog free!

If I were to buy a kit knowing what I know now I would pick up the vision spinner kit sold over at myvaporstore.com. It's like 65 I think. That would be a great start. Those batteries are great and will easily last all day. Juice can be found at many places. I like pink spot and the vapor room. There are literally too many to list. Good luck!

I know right. I wish I could take it all back, have a reDO, but with active brain cells next time around.

Congrats on getting off analogs!!! Myself, a 20+ year smoker, I've been off them going on 4 weeks now....and yes, I vape waaaay more than I ever smoked. So much so that the 24-26 mg liquid I started with was making me sick. Needless to say, I am now at 12mg, and happily chain-vaping to my heart's content. As long as you're off analogs, and have found your perfect nic strengths, there's never such thing as too much!! My lungs still haven't recovered to the point that a good throat hit in the morning won't send me into an asthma attack, but its getting there. I'm already looking into getting a VV device (vision spinner 1300 mAh), so I'll be able to design my perfect Vaping day. Again, Congrats on 3-days off the cigs!!!

Since I started vaping I've found I do it much more than I ever smoked. When I switched over I was going through 3/4 of a pack of Marlboro Lights a day. That's why I keep a variety of nic levels available. Like Uma, I vape 24 (very rarely used), but it's very handy when I can't vape as often. Lately, that's been my go-to level. Other times when I'm chain vaping I stay around 6 mg although I do have some flavors at 0 mg.

From what I've read most of us vape more than we smoked. Congrats on putting away the analogs and go get some more juice!

There are tons of great drippers out there. There are the AVA, the HH357, the empire 901, the ikenvape i06, the smart vapes 306, there are tons of great ones. If you've never dripped I would start out with a traditional, non rebuildable atty. and yes consider this a step up not down.

Progress down? Some would argue that it is a step up.

Depending on how much power you're applying to the atomizer's coil, you can figure roughly 2-3 pulls per drop. With most drip atties, you can drip 3-4 drops in without flooding or leaking.

It's usually kind of hard to flood a drip atomizer because before it gets to the point of submerging the coil, the juice will just leak out the bottom of the atty and all over you.

With a drip shield installed, you can (conveniently) put much more e liquid (say, 8-10 drops) in your atomizer at a time, and any leaking e juice is trapped inside the drip shield between two o-rings. If your flavor/vapor drops off, you can just take a quick, unpowered pull on the atty and that will cause the extra liquid inside the shield to be drawn back up into the atty for you to vape.

The gurgling you might hear when using a drip shield is just the extra juice being sucked back into the atomizer's housing...it's completely normal. Some atties I've used gurgle a little without a drip shield, but it's basically the same deal...juice being pulled up from the depths of the atty and closer to the coil and wick.

Shhhh! Don't tell, Jeff, but I just ordered a blue one. And a red one. And a PURPLE one.
