All Newcomers - Introduce yourselves

Welcome to the House of Fun. Sadly, I cannot help you with bits for your device, though I’m sure one will pop-up in the next week).

We all have our niches here: I am one of the high PG, tobacco, and cocktail blenders and the house heretical preacher/wizard.

I just inadvertently bought myself a bunch of NETs but only have a KiK O2 with standard coils, which are about to get all clogged up. So I need a beginner (price) kit that can handle NETs OK. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome @Evaporator
I have never even heard of KiK before today.

I’m kinda not surprised if their stock levels are always as they are now. Non-existent.

Then we need to find a suitable mod for you. If you give us lots of info on your tastes, preferences and style - then we can collectively conjure the best mod for you.

I am one who likes simple solid devices and RDAs. So, over the last few years, I’ve just kept buying Vandy Vape Gaurs when things from most other companies fail in months. Not a single Gaur has failed, even after going for a swim in a jug of neat absinthe - a long tale there.

Hey. Thanks for beginning my education. Rebuildable drip atomisers. Simple, solid sounds more up my street.
As of now, I vape along with taking snuff so I’m exploring tobacco liquids and have found a few I like, including salts and NETs. I vape MTL.
I looked at a Vandy Vape Gaur-21 online and it appears to be a beast but, er, where do you suck?
I’d greatly appreciate your input.
Glass of absinthe, OK - jug thereof, not so much. Crazy juice. I have no recollection of the night.

As it’s a mod and not an AIO (All in One) or kit, you’d need to add an RDA or RTA to the top of it.

I have drawers of RDA chosen for being the best at bringing out the elements I prefer in a vape.

Seems RTA is for me and I like the shape of a Vandy.

@Evaporator RTAs are not my area, though personally I’d favour the Steam Crave Supreme V3.

I am sure many here like @lukeloop @SessionDrummer @JimmyLee etc will help you in that regard.

If you are UK based, then I can happily send you details of reliable sellers.

Oops! I had a go with a new Innokin Coolfire Z60 (ordered last night) and ended up with a mouthful of e-liquid. At first, I left it with settings as delivered and received a film coating of liquid in my mouth so I increased the wattage from 10 to 13 and got the mouthful. On both attempts, I had reduced the airflow to almost nothing. Am I supposed to preheat the coil or something?
Yes, I’m UK-based and would love details of reliable retailers. I’ve been stung a couple of times already.

@Evaporator, if you have the Innokin Z60 full kit then this guy should explain how to use it properly and he also vapes NET tobacco e liquids. YouTube is your friend when you want information and tutorials, I’d be lost without it. I can recommend Ecigone, Vaping 101 and Legion Vapes as excellent and trustworthy vendors.

Thanks for that, JimmyLee. Maybe my problem was around priming. I just let the coil sit in a tankful of liquid for a while rather than drop priming from the bottle of liquid. I’m not sure that would have prevented the bubbling and draw-through, though.

I’m using an Aspire Zelos X Kit with a 0.3 coil (because the guy in the video used it) and I’ve reduced the voltage to the minimum recommended but the vapour is still warm. I’ve set it to mid-airflow after trying it at max. Is there any way I can cool the vapour or am I to expect warmer vapour? This is my first time with a mod and tank. Oh! The tank is a Nautilus 322.

@Evaporator welcome to the forum sir :wink:

This could be your problem because the more you are closing the down airflow the more suction you are using which in turn draws more e liquid into the coil causing flooding.

That kit has been returned to vendor but I have since bought an Innokin tank. I’ll bear in mind what you say when I’m finding my settings with it. Thanks.

If you prefer mtl I would suggest using 0.7-1.8 ohm coils. Under powering a coil or using adequate af will reduce the benefits of any tank/coil.
