Opinions on this setup (Please) Update March 2018

Hi Guys
First post here, can some of you experts give me some of your valuable advice please.
I need to give up smoking due to health reasons, I have C O P D. (so has to be a M T L device)
I have been smoking for 40 plus years or so, I currently smoke about 30 hand rolled cigarettes a day, so a fairly heavy smoker.
I have seen some good reviews on the ELEAF IPOWER with its 5000 mah battery that I can get for £40, Teamed up with a Nautilus Mini Tank for £25.
Would this be a good combination in your opinions? would I need a high strength nicotine level of say 18mg?
Lastly what percentage of vg and pg would be best?
Your advice would be much appreciated
Regards
Garry

Yeah that'll be fine just remember to hold it in your mouth and only take a little down. Did you use to enjoy rolling your fags as well maybe once you get used to it get something a bit more hands on .

Can you explain what you mean by trying something a little hands on please?

I was thinking maybe a rebuildable to but tbf I don't know how it would affect your COPD, decent set up you've chosen. Have you been into any shops to try any juices?

Thanks for the advice jonnyc.
I bought the setup I mentioned above yesterday, so I just need to try and get used to it.
I bought some tobacco flavoured liquid at 18 mg nicotine, but if im honest it don't taste to great.
I will have to investigate some different flavours I think.

I smoked for over 20 years and couldn't stand tobacco flavours once I started vaping. Fruity and menthol is what I went onto.

Hi Garry.




Ive never used the setup you mention, when I use to MTL I used a Kayfun with a rebuildable deck and I started off at 24mg but the resistance of the coil was pushing up the 3ohm.
Personally I’m not a prebuilt coil chap and prefer to build my own but in the past I’ve used prebuilt and they serve a purpose.

I’m the same as Jonny, I like my minty flavours and when I tried tobacco flavours I never found one that I liked.
You will also find the clear type minty flavoured liquids extend the life of your coils as they don’t tend to gunk up as quickly.
Once you have settled in and found a liking to vaping you might move to rebuildable type tanks like the Kayfun and other well known single coil MTL setups.

Thanks for your post mate.
I am using 18mg liquid at the moment, do you know what a good percentage of pg and vg would be? would 50/50 be okay or should I look at something else?.
I haven't had a proper ciggie since 7 am this morning, but time will tell as I usually have three one after another as soon as I get up.
I have found a cherry menthol that doesn't seem to bad,
Thanks again
Garry

i believe it’s more the habit than anything, getting used to the changes in it. nicotine can be out of your body completely in approx 24 hours. it’s the habit of having one that you might want to consider more than the %’s... i think you need the fiddle with them to see what you like?
