The 30w istick is the ideal starter device. It also future proofs you if you end moving away from basic tanks to sub ohm/rebuildable tanks in time.

To start off buy a Mini Nautilus tank. You wont ever need the full 30watts with that tank, its best between 10-12.5 watts.

Theres no need to overthink anything beyond that...Just buy some ejuice and you're all set. The rest will come to you in time. I hadn't a clue 14 months ago.

But if it only needs 12 watts why not but a 12w bat?? Also I don't have a clue what ohm is :O

ok a brief history on isticks, the 20w came out, it shook the market and everyone and their dog had at least one. i had 4 of them. they were perfect for a while. 2200 milliamp hours (mah) battery, really small construction and 20 watts of power. they had 2 main flaws and both of them were around the 510 connection (where your atty screws on) 1. the threads were made of a soft metal which got worn down each time you screwed a atty on. 2. the pin in the center was fixed. meaning if you screwed an atty on that had a 510 pin longer than the recess, you would either get a gap between mod and atty or you would start forcing the connection of the istick down. after enough forcing the connection would be pushed in too far to make connection with atomizers that had slightly shorter pin.
then the mini came out. not much to say on this one. it is just a smaller, lower powered 20w (10w)
then the 30w came out. still has a 2200mah battery and is much the same size as the 20w but they made some changes. They made the the 510 threads out of stainless steel and put in a floating 510. which means it has a spring to adjust to the length of the connection on your atomizer. they also made it capable of working with lower resistance coils ((sub ohm) 0.4ohm) which meant it would work with the new 1st gen subohm tanks.
This is why it is recommended over the 20w
then the 50w came out with bigger size, larger battery (4400mah), it also works with coils with resistance of more than 0.2ohm.

The coils that go into all tanks are rated by ohms. The higher the ohm rating the less power is needed.

Rebuildable/sub ohm tanks use coils that basically need more power. If you want to try out tanks like that in future the istick covers both options.

The battery will last longer than your atomiser, so whilst you might only use 12w with a nautilus, you might use 25w if you change to a sub tank.

It's all new to me, I have watched videos but I don't have a clue what they do be talking about. I just want a very good ecig with no hassle involved. I just wana fill it with juice and vape away so I assume the istick isn't for me

Here is a Dublin guy on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eesxZqHYhQk
The videos are 18 months old,it seems more like 10 years to me,certain things have improved since then but he will explain better than I would,when you open the link below,scroll down to all his 12 videos & watch them.
Vaping Basics Series of Videos

No need to watch two videos about Carto's,they are Old Hat now,but still interesting to know what most of us used at that time,newbies like yourself are very lucky to have all the new up to date hardware & juice that is on the market now.

My tuppence worth,get yourself a vision spinner 2 battery,put a Kanger mini protank on it and some juice and your ready to vape. Then do some serious research online on the different setups available. P Busardo does excellent you tube stuff but be prepared as his videos are long,detailed and very good. Lots of information on reddit and ecigarette forum also. And of course the guys and girls here are always on hand to answer any questions you may have.
If you start off with a basic setup,do your research and work your way up then you shouldn't have any problems.

I don't really think it is dangerous, either they'll work or they'll give you a check atomiser message.

What would be dangerous is using a mech mod without knowing what you're doing but any decent box mod should be safe enough.

I have posted a video of a Kangertech Subox MiNi Black and White edition,this would be ideal for you,has everything you need,the mod is 50w & the tank has a .5 ohm coil & a 1.5 ohm coil,the air flow will suit mouth to lung hits & lung hits.

Aspire nautilus mini goes well with the istick and is a good starting point. Should last you till your ready to move on and experiment with all that's out there.

Rottie me aul pal. There's no such thing as one size fits all when it comes to vaping.
All we can do is make suggestions.
Fwiw I'd suggest a Cloupor Miini as your first vv / vw mod, but that's purely because I like the idea of removable batteries. I, for no reason I can explain rationally don't like the idea of charging my mod. (For definition of the phrase mod see previous posts).
Honestly, it's not easy figuring it all out but - to quote our beloved Mr Keane - "at the end of the day" - you'll eventually have to decide for yourself and if you get it wrong - try again until you find what works for u.
I'm nearly 18 months vaping now but I can guarantee you that not everyone here or on the various facebook groups would agree with how I got here. Bottom line though, is that I have.
All we can do is take all the advice and support offered, but to quote our assistant manager once more (allegedly) "At the end of the day" you have to do what's right for you.

I just typed a very long reply & the frigging internet shut down:mad::mad:

Yes to your answer,the video below shows a .5 coil set at 40w,a 1.5 coil will run between 10w & 20w,it's a trial & error situation because different types of juice will determine what wattage you use as well,you just have to find your sweet spot,also,you don't want a burnt taste,turn your wattage down if that happens.All this info applies to most setups,except for temperature control mods,but that is another story:D:D

Yes it will work as long as your ego has a 510 connection,put the beauty ring on the battery before you put the tank on it,makes it look more streamlined and the mini is probably the best bet for your ego as its smaller than the standard nautilus.Also make sure your coils for the Nautilus are above 1.7 ohm as your battery probably isn't powerful enough to power anything below that.

I would say your right to wait and get the istick/Nautilus as your ego just won't have sufficient power and you'll be constantly looking for a charger. Experiment with your setup when you get it,start at low watts 8/10 and move it up gradually till you get a vape/throat hit that your enjoying (sweet spot).If it tastes too hot or burnt then you've gone too high and reduce your watts gradually. Set your istick to variable wattage,it's easier to hit the right spot at this setting. Good luck with it and let us know how you get on.:)

Yes.
Generally you would be well served getting the 1.5ohm coils to start with.
That allows you to vape at a range of 6w to around 12w without burning out the coil quickly.
When you get the .5ohm coils you can use much more wattage to generate more heat/more vapour.

I know you've been told to google ohms law, watts, volts and all that.
I'll try to give you the idiots version! I'm assuming here you know nothing at all so I mean no offence in explaining in basic terms.

Ohms.
Ohms are the electrical units of measuring the resistance of a wire.
Resistance is how much effort it takes for electrical current to pass through the wire. Low resistance means the current can run easily, high resistance means the current has to fight its way through.

Volts and Watts.
Volts and Watts are basically the electical units for measuring the force/effort (in Volts) or if you prefer Power (in Watts) required to make the current flow through the wire, the more Volts or Watts you use the more electrical current will flow. The more of this current (measured in Amps) you force through the wire the more heat you will generate. While they are related, Volts and Watts are not the same thing but for the purpose of getting a basic understanding you may think of them as doing the same thing.

Think of it like water running through a pipe, in fact I like this wee page here:
http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/energy/question501.htm

What is very important to remember though in Vaping is batteries and battery safety.
You read about people buying sub ohm coils (i.e. a coil that has less than 1ohm resistance) and then they are pushing big currents though these coils because they are using very high Watts to push this current, to generate more heat, more quickly and get more vapour. Batteries have ratings, current ratings.
Some are rated at 10Amps, some are rated at 25A, 35A and so on.
You do not want to come close to or exceed the ammount of current on these ratings, thats when things get very hot inside a battery and that means a risk of failure, i.e. fire!
Ohms Law is a very simple little equation that will allow you to quickly calculate the Amps you are going to be drawing from a battery.
There are only three parts to it, Volts (or Watts), Amps and Resistance.
Just to confuse you and countless students worldwide, V is for Voltage, I is for current (in Amps), P is for power (in Watts), and R is for resistance (in Ohms).
V=IxR and if you want to use Watts instead of Volts its P=I2xR (that little 2 means squared, as in (something multiplied by itself, 2x2=4 etc, I couldn't figure out how to put the little 2 up higher than shown here sorry, it should be written like the little 2 is sitting up on the shoulder of the other number)

Ohms Law as in the wee equations above are easily rearranged for what you need to find out.
You need to have any two pieces of the puzzle to find the third one.
for example if V=IxR, then R=V/I and I=V/R. (/ means divided by).
Isn't electrickery fun?!!!
