Picking Out A Back Up

I have spent nothing on vaping in the last 7 months but now I am thinking about buyin a spare to spare for my Vamo 5 (to keep one at home and one at work). I am very satisfied with my Vamo – it worked perfectly for 8 months. I use it with 18360 battery, so it is not too long, fits perfectly in hand and after continuous use for 8 months it is still as good as a new one. But I do know it will go bad sooner or later, I have to be prepared. I was thinking about buying just another Vamo (may be Vamo 7), but then wondered if I would like to try a box mod. What if I would like it? And if not, I do need one more spare anyway.

So far I am thinking about Cloupor Mini 30W.

Would you recommend it? Is it comfortable enough? Is it too small (to fit in hand)? Comfort and reasonable longevity are the most important thing for me. For example, I have found in Cloupor description “Magnet back cover, no need to use screwdriver, more”. It is very important for me; I could not imagine myself walking around with a screwdriver in case I have to replace a battery. What other mods (if any) should I consider? I do not need more than 30W, please do not advise me on more powerful mods unless they have some extremely useful features beyond their power. And I do not want to spend more money than necessary for a spare.

But maybe I will be still buying a new Vamo 7. Do somebody have hands on experience with this one?  

I was gifted one of these. I have yet to set it up. I know nothing of dual coil setups. How do they compare to single ones? Need to watch youtube tutorials to see how its done. I have 3 more one the way but I dont know what version they are. Any tips/tricks would be appreciated. BTW I am familiar with the kayfun and the Lemo 2.  

A week ago I have bought Bou 30W which is a clone of iStick 30.

On page of Angelsigs it is written it can go from 2W to 30W, and it is a lie. I hoped it is improved version of iStick, but seems it has the same circuit in. It starts only from 5 W, and quite often I like to vape at lower wattages (you know, to suck on pacifier without really spending any juice). And it is a bit too small to be comfortable. Vamo is still better, and I can just replace batteries instead of charging the whole device (where are phones with replaceable battery?)

Otherwise it feels very sturdy, buttons are solid, battery life is good. I have not used iStick, but think there is practically no difference.  

I joined ECF back in August of 2017. I was sixty-five years old and had been smoking 25-30 cigarettes a day for 40+ years. I began vaping at the same time win the hope I could at least cut down. I dual used for months, continually cutting back on cigarettes. I smoked my last cigarette on May 11, 2018 - I am coming up on my three year anniversary. When I began, I vaped 24mg nicotine. Now I alternate between 3mg and zero nic.

Given how incredibly positive vaping has been for me, I am in shock at recent events. I was down to two working mods. I have ordered four mods, some tanks and a bunch of coils. I am still able to buy some eliquids where I live - but many of my favorites from Halo have been discontinued. I still have some outstanding hardware orders that I hope get delivered.

The treatment of vaping in the media has been a one sided disgrace, and propaganda works. Over the years when I have mentioned to people that I quit by vaping, they respond, ‘so you quit smoking by picking up a habit that is even more dangerous’.

I am set for at least a year. Fortunately I have kicked my addiction to nicotine - I recently vaped zero nic for a month. If I was just starting out, it would truly be panic time, and I would go back to cigarettes for sure. I suspect that many will do just that. Happy I started when I did.  

Hi.....looking at getting the vamo V6 20w VV/VW . What do you guys think?

Vamo V5 Variable voltage/variable wattage personal vaporizer  

Just two questions.

Ive been using a Vision spinner 2 1100Mah for a long while now with a Kanger Aerotank V2 which has been very good and reliable.
I recently got a Kamry E pipe as a gift. The Kamry takes a 18350 battery.

Problem is there isnt a lot of difference in vaping between the two, this is with the same tank with the same coils on both. Is this normal? If anything the pipe loses vape sooner due to battery drain than the Vision Spinner 2. Is there anything i can do to beef up the E Pipe for a better throat hit and more vapour?

Which brings me to question 2.
Is there a good upgrade to the Kanger Aerotank? I want a new tank anyway to replace the stock Kamry one which is top fed and tastes burnt quickly, and i dont want to keep changing out tanks between the Kamry and the Spinner hence i need a good, ego threaded tank for the mech pipe. (Kamry k1000 is 510 threaded but i have a 510 to ego adaptor too)
Thanks in advance  

I'm new to vaping. I've went through 3 coils barely using them.


My issue is: When I first install the new coil and add the liquid, it produces vaporizes just fine. It seems like when I set it down for an hour or so, and go back, it still produces good vapor. But after a bit, if I set it down after vaping, and go back, it produced no vapor no matter how much I puff it. It seems like if I unscrew the part where the coil is, and run it under water, and then let it dry, and replace it, then add e juice, it'll start producing vapor again. But it seems like as soon as I set it down for a bit, and pick it back up, there's no vapor and I wash it out again, etc then it works, but eventually just stops producing vapor altogether u til I replace the coil.

What's going on here? am I doing something wrong? Do I need to adjust the coil some how? I've bought brand new coils and barely use them and this happens. Is the coil just getting gummed up? The coils don't make vapor after so long, and the usage doesn't even equate to a full day, maybe an hour or so.  

I just found out my 17 year old cousin started vaping a few months back and he was afraid to tell me, and his mother! To be honest, part of me is relieved!

a little background: I come from an entire family of smokers, aunts, uncles, cousins, all of us smoke with the exception of maybe 5 (out of 50+ people). Most of us starting at around the age of 13-15, it just seems like the thing to do in our clan I guess. Secretly I worry about my younger cousins picking up on our bad habits, just as I did. Seeing your entire family smoke and being around it all the time, its kind of hard to imagine NOT ending up a smoker yourself.


any who, when he told he was vaping, and that he things cigarette smoke is disgusting... I smiled inside soo much. there is hope for us yet!  

Hi guys!

I hope everyone is having a great Mothers' Day!

As I plan my outings for the warmer weather, I'm thinking about how I'll get my vape on while off-the-grid. I've been vaping almost a year. Last season, I hit the trails with a few EGO twists, a VV v3, a couple of EVODS and a Protank2 w/AFC; all powered by a 6000mAh solar power bank. I've been rebuilding the Kanger heads almost since day one. Since moving to RTAs & RDAs, the idea of living with EVODS & a PT2 is not exciting.

Here are my choices for kit thus far:

6000 mAh Solar Power Bank
20W iStick
30W iStick
2 30W Hana Clones
iTaste VTR
VAMO v3
VAMO v5 7.4v box mod
1:1 Erlk Clone (my favorite)
1:1 KFL+v2 Clone
Various EVODS and a PT2 w/AFC
IGO L
Veritas clone
Plume Veil clone

With the goal of keeping things simple, compact and light; I'm thinking the solar power bank and 2 iSticks will be the foundation for my kit. I don't want to deal with builds gone bad while on the trail, so my RTAs & RDAs will remain home. That leaves me looking for a couple of new atomizers.

I'm told Eleaf's GS Air series are quite good for standard clearos and their heads don't seem any more difficult to rebuild than Kanger's. The GS Air M and/or MS seem to be ideal for this use. They're also <$10 each, so I wouldn't be thoroughly pissed if disaster would strike.

What do you guys think? What are YOU using for off-the-grid trailblazing?

I'm just glad I wasn't vaping 20 years ago when I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail. What a nightmare that would have been...

Thanks!  

I have been vaping for 1 year and 3 months now, I have been using an ego twist VV and I usually vape the same liquid all the time, I vape it in an evod with 1.8 ohm resistance and I vape at around 3.7 to 3.8 Volts.

Question, I just bought and received a Vamo 5 today and got two original Panasonic 18650 batteries, everything is fine. My evod works great on the Vamo and I use it at 3.7 volts just like I did on the ego twist. My question is this, what is the difference between vaping using voltage or vaping using wattage and which should I do and why in reference to my Vamo 5?

Also if I use voltage setting does it auto adjust the wattage or if I use wattage setting does it auto adjust the voltage, also what is the advantages and disadvantages of both in the Vamo 5?

Thanks!
