Not nearly as much, maybe 10-12 a day. Though if there was a drinking session involved that would spike to between 30 and 40.


They look ridiculous imo, but I can see the attraction. Some guy was 'smoking' one of them in the cinema the other night, nobody knew what to make of it. Obviously it's legal, but it's still irritating for anyone sitting behind.

Stay strong though man :tup: In the past three weeks, three close friends of mine have lost family members to lung cancer (only two were smokers mind you), so once it's that close to home it really starts to dawn on you I guess.
I saw some pretty cool ones that look like big metal pipes :p

Looking into one of those fancy vapes right now. They can be pretty expensive but they won't fuck my lungs up
Which ones are you looking at/thinking of getting?

I've gone through some trial and error with this for awhile, and for someone just starting out, I would recommend the Kanger Protank 2 Mini with a variable voltage battery. The "Ego Twist" battery is a great option, as it allows you to manually set which voltage you want (up to 4.8 volts) in order for you to find your sweetspot as far as vapor production and throat hit goes. As for throat hit, other factors also come into play, such as nic-level and amount of PG etc., but which battery you use is also of extreme importance.

With that setup, you will have set yourself up for a pretty damn good vaping experience. It produces lots of vapor and the throat hit is pretty damn good. The pricing on those items are also very decent. I think I paid 14 dollars for my Protank and 15 dollars for the battery. Both will last you a very long time.

Whatever you do, don't buy those entry-level, ultracheap, disposable ecigs. They simply don't measure up.

Seriously, its fucked up, waking up and hearing your own voice, realizing you sound like Sophia from Golden Girls, even if she was the cool one.


Fuck, now I have the theme song in my head "Thank you for being a friend...travel down the road and back again, your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant" :sergio:

I was thinking of hitting you up for advice believe it or not and you already jumped on it :D


As far as type, I don't know yet. There's a lot. I'll take a look at the one you recommended. Also I planned on visiting a vape shop so I can look at all they have and get an idea of what's what.

What do you think about the mechanical vapes?

I'm heading to China for 6 months to live with the kung fu fighting monks. Something tells me they don't grant smoking breaks during training days. Which are every day :D
If your in Beijing and need somewhere to crash let me know, we have a spare bedroom here :)

Any of you guys here ever been to the smaller cities in Northern Italy? When I'm going over in Feb me and the girlfriend want to do some of the smaller cities. Taking a day trip to Verona (not a small city I know but haven't ticked it off the list yet).

Brescia and Padova play at home on the weekend we are there, considering going to one of them. Thinking of maybe Parma, Bergamo, Mantova, Modena maybe.

Any advice?

Of those I've only been to Verona. Which is quite nice.

I haven't tried mechanical/mods yet, but I do know a lot about them. Most of those are battery mods which means that you can still use your tanks on them (if the threading fits), but some of them are even complete devices with a battery part and a tank of it's own. It's definitely the next step up for me, and based on reviews and what I've seen on Youtube I'm gonna go for one called the Kayfun Lite. A bit expensive (but there are more expensive mods out there), but it has high quality parts, no leaking issues and the top reviewers out there are incredibly amazed by how well it performs.

Mechanical mods can be somewhat overwhelming for a beginner, though, as there is more maintenance involved. But if you're handy and learn pretty fast, you can get a lot of enjoyment out of it straight away. All you really need is a small screwdriver and a pair of plyers. Also, they are great if you wanna use homemade coils and wicks. Not only is it cheaper to make your own coils and wicks, but it's fully possible to make ones that are better than the coilheads w/ wicks that are sold by manufacturers (for instance by using sterilized cotton instead of silica, which seems to soak up the e-juice better, and how you align the wire on your custom-made wick). If you don't wanna get into building your own coils and wicks, though, the manufactured ones are still damn good so no worries.

Linking a pic of the glorious Kayfun :touched:

Parts made in Germany and Russia, and performs like a champion:


Obviously, this will be my go-to device for homevaping, it's not something I'd carry with me outside :D
