Feedback on this set up

PumpingtonSteel

hey guys, I'm new to vaping - 3rd attempt (ego cheapo and now defunct former amazon best-seller, both with PG liquids) has worked a charm, have gone from 10-15  a day now to perhaps 1 or 2
I started off with a £30ish pen, but now wish to embrace the vape

I've been recommended this kit
I like aesthetics, tech but most importantly functionality
is this a good bit of kit? definitely seems like the sexiest one out there I've seen so far

smok priv mod Smok G-Priv Kit
nautilus x tank Aspire Nautilus X
then I need two 18650 batteries - thinking samsung with an external charger?

I would prefer a 5ml tank (as comes with the priv) but hear new tanks are all 2ml. not sure why the nautilus was suggested, I didn't even know people mixed and matched tanks and mods prior to this recommendation
I don't know much about the market and options out there, but I am very tempted by these
is there anything better out there?
thanks

Why do you want the nautilus tank if you get a tank with the Smok?  The Smok combination is cheaper here $88.78 Free Shipping Authentic Smoktech SMOK G-Priv 220W TC VW APV Box Mod Kit (G-PRIV 220W, w/ TFV8 Big Baby, Black   Silver) at m.FastTech.com

The Nautilus did not really match that mod. The Nautilus is for MTL and low wattages, stick with the big baby beast that comes with the SMOK kit or get a smaller single battery mod -  the big baby will drink the juice though.

quite simply it was because that's what I was told would suit me. i'm new and naive so was going by the advice in the shop!

the price at fast tech is unbeatable by a country mile, but reviews criticise speed. have you used them? are they good?

so is this considered a decent premium mod or am i just getting sucked in by the additional features? the youtube videos have been very positive but as I'm unsure of other options on the market

thanks

I have used Fast tech a few times, but delivery is a usually a couple of weeks.
I use a couple of the Smok tanks, the tfv8 and the baby version too.

The Smok Alien kit should be considered too.

The Smok Alien is a great 2 battery mod, I've had one for about 4 months and its brilliant.
I would recommend getting the Big Baby Beast as a replacement for the baby beast as the 5ml juice capacity is better than 3ml the Baby Beast (uses the same coils as the Baby Beast though) as they both hammer the juice.

I like the G Priv and will probably pick one up myself in the near future (will have to sneak that passed the Mrs though lol).

Defo get an external charger and 4 batteries (Samsung 25r are great) so at least you will always have a set charged and ready if one set dies.
Make sure you get genuine batteries though, check out Fogstar - The UK's #1 trusted source of 18650 Batteries

Fasttech are great but like has been said before expect to wait at least 2 weeks.

You are right about about the tank being a juice guzzler! Great for flavours though

I am using the baby beast with the optional rba deck and this is certainly in my opinion the best way to vape on this particular tank. Financially better too as no need to buy prebuilt coils

Looks like a good kit. I'm very happy with my Cleito, great (and I mean great) flavour, nice lungful, and not too thirsty on the Juice.  You can also get an rba deck to make your own coils, which tbh I find better than stock coils and much much cheaper (circa 10p each rather than £2.50).  Have one on a cuboid mod and one on a smok (don't remember model, but not a touch screen).  

A point to bear in mind is that sub ohm tanks will guzzle Juice compared to what you are used to....don't be surprised if you start going through 10 or 15 ml a day. So, don't use those 12 or 18 mg ejuices....unless you like the shakes!!!!  Also, imho VG/PG of around 70/30 is the way to go.

PumpingtonSteel

I'm not sure I'm adventurous or confident enough to make my own coils!! But as it's early days for me, i may still be a convert in time....

Not keen on the juice guzzling effect - but will monitor my usage. Currently paying around £15 for 30ml so 10ml a day is impractical!!

Got it from this in the end, cheaper than fast tech with the exchange rate being what it is
SMOK G-PRIV 220W KIT with TFV8 Big Baby Tank & FREE 30ml Doozy Juice!
£65.99 with the tank. I see cheap ones on ebay and amazon but am wary of fakes. just hope this one is legit!!

I heard of fogstar elsewhere too so ordering my batteries from them

thanks for the input! will be back with an opinion on the device very shortly
