You could have been a bit to eager priming the coil, how much you drip in there ?

I wet the cotton a little bit in order to shape it the way I wanted as I saw on a video. Then after putting the RBA enclosures on, I drip maybe around 5 drops in there.

No need to drip in to the RBA the way you do with the OCC's, and I'd wager that that's causing the leak.

But is it ok to wet the cotton a little bit just to shape it into place?

Yeah that's fine and necessary, it's also why you don't need to drip in

With liquid though, right?

I believe the Melo uses the same coils (more or less) than the Atlantis.

Is it any better

What about the Lemo, is that any good?

I have Lemo, Lemo2, Lemo drop and they're all great but Lemo 2 isn't really for mouth to lung inhale

I get the mah bit but the 15A & 20A options are something i dont get, can someone advise which would be best suited to the cloupor mini

LG 18650 HG2 20A 3000mah
Our Price: €7.50
The new LG 18650 HG2 20A 3000mah battery is perfect for vv/vw mods. Continuous 20A discharge. Flat top.

Samsung INR18650-30Q 3000Mah
Our Price: €7.50
New Samsung high drain batteries with 3000Mah capacity and continuous 15A discharge. Flat top.
thanks

I can't speak to the quality of LG batteries, I never used one (well not a directly branded one anyway).
In my Cloupors I use Sony VTC4's (30A continuous) and Samsung 25R's (25A max c). I also have a single Purple Efest 35A battery which has worked fine, but drains pretty quickly I find.
I use my batteries with coil resistances between .5 and 1ohm usually, and never really go higher than 25w on the cloupors. Satisfies me.

How do you get on with filling them? From the reviews they look a bit fiddly

JH_raheny · 22-06-2015 5:07pm

They're not to bad, lemo2 has the easy top filling, the other two come with a rubber yolk you can use instead of the screws

Fratton Fred · 22-06-2015 7:34pm

I might invest in one then. I'm getting bored of the sub tank

Thanks for the reply, Im not too familiar with the LG either - it was more a concern/question about the 15A or the 20A option. I understand vv and vw but after that im lost when it comes to A's

How do they compare to the fogger 4.1?

Different beast altogether but I'm using lemo2 and not even looking at the fogger, personal taste comes in to that though, both are great

First time vaper, been lurking here the last few days, finally bought a evod yesterday for E25 with a merchant. Anyone any opinions on this type of e cigg, are they any good etc.

Also, just curious, I smoked 20 marlborro lights a day every hour or half hour, told the guy and he said 18mg would do me. My real question is should I use the e cigg in the same way as I used the analog, like every hour/half hour. Ive read that it doesnt really work that way so any advice appreciated.

As far as replacing batteries, do I have to get the same Kanger evod battery or do other brands fit it or how does it work?

JH_raheny · 24-06-2015 9:11am

Never used the EVOD but it looks a bit old school and battery being only 650mah you would struggle to make it last all day

Fratton Fred · 24-06-2015 9:44am

The evod is ok as a starter, certainly better than a cigalike.

Use it however you like, you will soon get used to it and find out what suits you best. The trick is to do whatever keeps you off the fags.

Im in a bit of a messy situation.

Week 1.

Went cold turkey, full blown flu for a week.

Week 2.

Serious withdrawls, toughed it out but went on the patch @ 24mg at the end of week 2.

Week 3.

Now I was on the patch 2 weeks, doing no good, said screw this im getting a e cig, that was yesterday and im off the patch.

So I was 3 weeks without ciggs, now im on the e cigg day 2. I still feel like crap do and am depressed and down. Do they take a while to kick in or is 18mg too low.

My current state is very low mood, depression, tired, anxious, low concentration. Ive been this way since quitting and was hoping the e cigg would make me feel normal again.

Should I go stronger or wait a few days?

RIchieNouveau · 24-06-2015 10:48am

Hi BlackPhoenix,

This is just my opinion so take with a pinch of salt. If I were you, I'd go up to 24mg IF you're having cravings.. I started on 18mg and had no no problems, it was actually no harder than continuing smoking. All of the low mood and stuff (sorry to hear that btw, I'm not being dismissive) could be attributed to the flu you had and other factors, so without cigarette cravings I wouldn't put that down to nicotine withdrawal at all.

In my view, people shouldn't be scared to go up the nicotine levels. It's not that hard to climb down when you decide to and the most important thing is that the transition from cigs to vaping goes smoothly.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the input as im suffering here for 3 weeks ha.

I mean the flu was 3 weeks ago, i came out of that and have all cigg withdrawals you can think of and there not going away.

Its like this, I was a1 happy out, then quit and its been a nightmare ever since so its definitely withdrawals, im convinced. Im going to get 24mg today and see.

Any more thought appreciated.

youdipstick · 24-06-2015 11:05am

Does your evod work with Watts or Volts,24mg will work for you & this will depend on how much power you give it.
Never had an evod but need to know how high your battery can go.

JH_raheny · 24-06-2015 11:09am

You got this far so stick with it, the side effects are most likely related to all the other crap there is in cigarettes besides nicotine, I hardly had a nights sleep the first 3 weeks and when I did sleep I had weird crazy dreams.
Perosnally I would recommend a better kit than the evod if you were a 20 a day smoker and just have the evod as a back up thing

On the back of the package it says battery 650mAh/900/1100 but doesnt say which it is.

The usb says

usb input DC4.5-6V 500mAh
usb output DC4.2V 400mAh
usb port 5V adapter...

In my opinion & probably others will tell you that evod is bluddy useless,maybe ok for 20minutes & then the volts drop down rapidly.
That 650/900 just means the amount of mili amp hours,like 900mah will last longer than a 650mah(we just call this MA).
I don't know if you will get much of a throat hit even with 24mg,you just might until the evod drops power.
You really need a new setup to enjoy the taste & performance of a decent battery.
If you want to know about & where to get,just let us know,good luck with that coffee.

JH_raheny · 24-06-2015 2:29pm

That's what I found with the small beginner set-ups, they just about take the works of the cravings but wont last the day, you would be much better off investing in a set-up like an iStick50 with a good tank

I dont know what a throat hit is but i can feel it in my throat when i inhale and also plenty smoke comes out when i exhale...

Where can i get a good one so guys?

If I got a 1100 battery wouldnt that make a difference?

the 1100 would last a bit longer obviously but the difference between evod and newer set-up would be like night and day.
iStick50 can be got from esmoke ireland for 60 and will last even the heaviest of vaper the full day and more due to the 4400mah battery in it
http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/product-p/istick50.htm

paired with a subtank like this one you would have a good set-up and also have the option for the future to build your own coils to save a few quid
