SMOK R200 Tc ~ My latest vapemail

This! Got this beautiful mod in the mail yesterday (Dec.9), and I'm already very pleased with it. I'm using my weird Tfv4 mini on it, and I swear it's like the mod brought it new life. So, the mod is quite small. Two 19650 batteries. A little more advanced menu than my other mods. It has different options in the menu, and sub-options to most every one. As of now I'm running it in wattage mode, as I haven't been able to understand TC yet. But it's amazing The box feels stern, sturdy. It doesn't feel cheap and jiggly. Nothing rustles. Everything is perfect. It has your standard 510-connector, spring loaded (thanks SMOK). BUT.... It claims to go to 200 watts. Honey... You don't use 200 watts effectively with two batteries. My Wismec RX 200 can go pretty high, but I can't even use that at 200 watts effectively. So no... I tread this one as a 150 watts box mod. No more. Currently I'm using my tfv4 mini (was going to use the Unwel...

Short update about recent purchases

- Recently purchased / ordered: • Unwell Crown (v1) • SMOK R200 TC (not arrived yet) -What I think about the Crown so far: • Smooth vape • Excellent taste • Lots of vapor • Clean look • Leaks like a MOTHERFUCKER if you don't treat it like a princess!!! And even then it might flush your juice straight through the tank! - Possible solutions: • O-rings. I've replaced almost every o-ring, and I've checked to see that they're not messed up. No good. • No fucking pressure in the tank. I am almost completely sure this is why this fucking thing shits juice all over the place. And more annoying is the fact that it only happens when I top-fill it, which is the practical, normal way of filling it. Why the hell would you make a tank that has the "option" to be "filled" from the top, and then make sure that if you do you'll have the entire 4 ml of expensive juice flooding your entire mod, hands, arms, lap, body, house the second you're...

Just a random entry about my favorite tank

...among the THREE I have (seriously, like I've said, I'm broke. Always. Couldn't even really afford those I have). So, I have the Melo III Mini, Tfv4 Mini and Tfv4 original. Here are some thoughts on the tanks after having used them for a while and burnt through copious amounts of coils. Literally. Melo III Mini My very first tank. It held a lot of promise while I was doing some last minute research on it before buying it. The clouds looked good, and people were pleased with the taste. After having used it for a couple of months, I have to say I really like it. Out of the three I have, this is the FLAVOUR tank (no tfv4, you're fired from that position). Seriously. That tiny little tank gives the best flavor of the three in my opinion. Which is why it has gone from being my last resort to the tank I put my most tasty juices in. Some of them taste like ass on my other tanks, but can taste rather good in the Melo. So yes, Melo wins the flavour contest! No doubt...

Local shopping ~ Tfv4 Mini (with backup kit installed) (NOT a review)

Yesterday I lost my willpower and went out to buy another SMOK tank locally from a lady who found it to be too powerful. I found it via Facebook, and the picture portrayed the tank, the box and the rest of the contents of the box. Which said tfv4 MICRO. So, naturally, I thought I was buying the micro, and because I've already tried it while I borrowed it from an acquaintance, I knew what I was getting. Well... After grabbing it, I drove for a couple of minutes before finding a nice place to stop and start priming the coil (as I had about 20 minutes of driving ahead of me). I put the tank on my iStick 100w, and immediately thought it looked a little different than I expected. Of course, that was one of those days where I couldn't just drive home and sit down in peace and quiet with the thing to figure it out, so it wasn't until a few hours later I finally got the one I borrowed out to measure. Yeah. I got a mini, not a micro. Hours of research later I still couldn...

SMOK tfv4 Octuple Coil ~ My thougts

Okay, so now I've been using the octuple coils for a couple of days, and while I burned the first one to shreds within three hours of usage, the new one has lasted. I use it with my Wismec Reuleaux 200 TC Box Mod, and current wattage (meheh) is set to 90. The coil reads 0.15 ohms, and I'm using three 18650 LG HG2s to run it. My initial thought was "omfg I'm choking look at this cloud!", But as I've slowly gotten more used to it, it's like "choking a little but omfg look at those clouds!" Yes. The octuple coil gives out MASSIVE clouds, and at 90 watts it doesn't take a full second to heat it up. The coil is ranged between (I think) 100-130 watts (can't see it through the tank and I'm not wasting liquid to look at numbers right now), but at 90 watts it's already warm and dense enough for me. The taste is impressive as well, although I strongly believe drippers are better for taste (just an impression I've got, haven't...

Vapemail, October 20th 2016

It's here! It's finally here!!!!! It travelled all the way from China, to my humble abode in a tiny secluded village in Northern Norway. And to my utmost joy, my batteries arrived at the same time! I am VERY good at timing thing, apparently! I seem to be a little fond of the Lg HG2s. But I guess when I delve deeper into sub-ohming, start with drippers and stuff, I might have to upgrade. For now, tho, they'll do just fine. So, it's been over two hours since I unboxed the Wismec, and I'm slowly realizing that I now HAVE to get a charger, because it's still only on about 50% charges. Two....hours... Can't wait to start using it! And also, I'm getting an Aspire Cleito for the iStick 100w. I don't want my baby to collect dust, and also I want new stuff. I'll post an update on the Wismec / SMOK tfv4 octuple coil setup when I've gotten to use it for a while... Thinking I'm gonna pop the octuple in as soon as this thing is done c...

Short juice reviews

So a while ago I said I'd do a short review as soon as I'd tried the different juices and acquired them all. So here goes! Dragons rise: The milkman's milk and campfire custard Elegans Ejuice: Goose juice by Quack Liberty Flights : Menthol ice, strawberry milkshake, pink lemonade and Summer Rain Hangsen (previously reviewed): Red Cola The Milkman's Milk : Oh...my.... god! I freaking love that juice! It has about ten days of steeping ahead of it when it arrives in your mail, but you can actually vape it right away. The taste doesn't change dramatically after steeping, but it does get somewhat sweeter. If I was to describe this juice in simple words, I'd say it tastes kind of like the milk left in your bowl after eating cereal with sugar. It's delicious and sweet, not too strong. Very smooth. I have another bottle on its way in the mail and I dread the day I run out. Campfire Custard: I'm not quire sure what to say. A lot of peop...

Plans for new mod

As I slowly realized my error in planning to set the TFV4 up with the octuple coil on the iStick 100w, new plans had to be made, and today I actually ordered the Wismec Reuleaux 200 TC box mod. All black (not sure if I regret not getting the red and black yet). Now, being the broke bastard that I am, I couldn't just go out and buy another mod, so I made a deal with my mom that she would buy it for me as an early birthday present. All I need to buy now is batteries for it, but I don't have to do that yet, because the thing is being sent from China, and that takes a while. A couple of weeks at least. After this, I really hope I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy my setup for a while, because honest to gawd, I seriously cannot afford this hobby yet!! Anyway, my setup will be the tfv4 with octuple coil on the Wismec RX 200. I think that will be golden.

Vapemail Oct.4th 2016 - SMOK tfv4 - YAAY!!

Omg that was quick! Overnight delivery, man! Look at this beauty!! I've wanted the TFV4 for what feels like ages (it's not, I'm just very impatient), and now it's finally mine! My first impression was just "WOW OMG IT'S GORGEOUS!", and then came the coil-soaking wait. It actually didn't feel like 20 minutes because I was in the middle of cooking dinner, so I was busy anyway. The first thing I have to say is "DAYM you thirsty, tvf4!" Holy shit. Another thing is that I'm used to running my tanks on 35 watts and 50 watts. I had to crank this bad girl up to 70 watts to feel pleased. Day battery drainage! This tank is running on a triple coil right now, doing about 0.2 ohms, and vapor production and taste is alright (I need to get a hold of some juices with a more dramatic taste, cause the ones I use now are quite chill.) Let me clean this entry up a bit. Taste: I didn't get much taste until I started closing in on 65-70 ...

Eleaf iStick Pico and Melo III Mini - Not high end, yet not all bad

Thought I'd add a super short video of a couple of hits from the Melo III Mini on the Pico. While it's not a very powerful tank, with good treatment the vapor production isn't completely awful. I actually fogged up an entire area tonight, which was completely unexpected. Just don't push the 0.3 ohms too much. I keep mine at 30 watts now, and it works just fine. Lookit Watch the video on YouTube

Plans postponed

So, because being sick in this country is impossible, because you don't get enough money to actually live on, I haven't been able to go through with my plan to buy the SMOK tfv4 yet... It saddens and pisses me off, because I'm delving into this to be able to quit tobacco, which is by far a way more expensive and unhealthy option for me and my use. Got a super-ginormous bill the other day, and it would seem that actually being able to spend money on anything that isn't food or bills will be impossible for a while. I've applied to a bunch of jobs, ignoring the current treatment I'm undergoing, because I have to have to job. I just can't be sick anymore, so I have to just go head-first into it and hope it doesn't crush me beyond a point I've never been before. Scary as hell, but necessary. Thanks, Norway, for taking such good care of your people's mental health (that's a big ass sarcastic irony bomb right there for ya.) The review if juices...

Update on the vapemail

I got a few more juices yesterday, so now I'm only expecting two more bottles. 2x menthol, 2x strawberry milkshake, 1x pink lemonade, 1x summer rain - Liberty Flights 3x Red Cola - Hangsen 1x Goose Juice by Quack - Elegans E-juice I have only tried the strawberry milkshake and the menthol (with the exception of the Red Cola which I've already emptied a bottle of, and Summer Rain which I've used with vape pens earlier), so I'm not going to be doing any reviews until I've tried the Pink Lemonade as well. I just wanted to show you what the mailman brought me!

Vapemail Sep. 21. 2016

YAAAAY!!!!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!! Look here at my new beauty! Isn't she pretty??? It's a shame I couldn't get her in white, but she's here now, and I love her just the way she is. Here's a photo of my two ladies alongside each other. The Pico really is quite small! I am so happy! Oh, and yes, the juices. Let me just snap a photo of them first. I haven't really gotten around to testing them yet. I put a new .3ohm coil in the Melo, and I'm terrified of burning it. So I'm giving it another 20 minutes before I touch it (I tried it briefly after a little over 20 minutes, but I only vaped at 20w and 30w, and then I chickened out and splashed the coil with more juice). However, the few puffs I got from the Melo, which contains the Strawberry Milkshake, tasted good. I can't wait to crank up the watts and give it a real taste! The tank I'm borrowing, the Tfv4 micro, is brewing the goose juice, and I smelled it and fe...

Impatiently waiting for juice

Like, really impatiently. I've spent all the juice I have (that I can use (low pg)), and now I'm down to a high nic mix coil killer of coffee and tobacco. I really can't wait for the new juices to arrive, and hopefully I won't have to go shopping for a while now. I actually lost track of what I've order, and yesterday I realized I've double-ordered two kinds of juice. Bah!!

"Atomizer Short" error

Today I've had some issues with my setup. I keep getting error messages. "No atomizer", which I solved by simply unscrewing the tank and screwing it back on (meheh). However, a few minutes ago I got another message. "Atomizer short", and had to google a little. I saw people explaining that this is meant as a security message to avoid using an unsafe coil, but that it could also be as simple as the coil having unscrewed itself due to opening and closing if the clearomizer (tank, am I using that word right?). I took the whole thing apart and cleaned it in the process. The coil was quite loose, so I screwed it back down, not too hard (meheheh), and it seemed to do the trick. However, I wonder if the mod is supposed to reset the wattage setting after it has been disconnected from the coil for some time? I had it set to 45.5w, because I like lots of vapour and I don't care what you say, but when I pressed the fire button it said 29.9w. I thought it was weird,...

Plans for new setup

I've spent days trying to figure out what my next setup will be, and I finally think I've figured it out. As I need both a mod and a tank, I've tried to find quality at a reasonable price, and I hope that what I've managed to put together will work. Tank: I've been going back and forth between the Freemax Starre Pure and the SMOK tfv4 (the one I've wanted all along), and after actually having decided on the former, I'm going with the latter. Why? Because it looks awesome. Because it's what I originally wanted. Because it's super well vented and supports a shitload if coils, plus RBA. Sure, the FSP has gotten a lot of great reviews, and I don't doubt it's an excellent choice. Not at all. I hope to get one someday. It's just not the one for me. I've found a kit, not too expensive, but not a lot of stuff in the package. I'm just waiting for Friday to order it! Hopefully, my mind will stay set. Mod: Oh geez... Since I ha...

Coil murderer

So, I forgot to mention that apparently I am a coil murderer. As you know, I have my Pico 75w and my Melo III Mini, and I haven't had it for more than nine days now. A few days ago I had to go away to attend my grandfather's funeral, and I forgot to bring coils, because I wasn't expecting them to break so insanely soon. A few hours before I started driving back home, my vape started tasting burnt and foul, so naturally I changed the coil instantly when I got home. Put in a .5 one, soaked it, buuut apparently I didn't wait long enough before I started vaping, because within 12-ish hours (and mind you, I got home late and slept for most of those hours) it started tasting horrible again. I realized I had probably used it too soon, shrugged it off and replaced it with my last .3 coil (is it obvious now that I prefer the .3s?). I made sure to wait for at least 20 minutes this time, even put a timer on. Everything went well. Until... The next day! Withing another ...

My (current) juices and short reviews

I have three things that are important to my vaping experience. Clouds Taste Low throat hit It's a learning experience, but with the help of people who know what they're doing, I'm getting closer. In this post I'd like to show my juices. They are non-expensive, and none above 10 ml, because I don't know. Hangsen e-liquid, Red Cola, 3mg, 10ml I LOVED this one! It tastes just like Cola pops. Frozen, sweet, awesome Cola! I had to try it immediately, of course, so I learned that even though it has been stored a little before you get it, a little more steeping is not a bad idea. I am most definitely buying a lot more of this!!!  Hangsen e-liquid, Mango, 3mg, 10ml Well... I mean, I guess there is trace of a fruity flavour in this? I'm not quite sure. I don't think it's mango, though. It's not bad, not at all. Just not as much flavour as I had hoped.  Hangsen e-liquid, licorice, 3mg, 10ml No! Just NO!!! BAD Hangsen! ...

My stuff

So, this is going to be a complete Noobtopia. I will here show off my pathetic equipment!!!! Be prepared to not be baffled!!!  KangerTech Evod eGo CE4 Eleaf iStick Pico / Melo 3 Mini So, as you can see, I don't really have any hi-tech stuff, and I'm as of yet not completely sure what I'm doing, and yesterday I botched TWO coils in one day, so now everything tastes burnt and lovely... Changed the coil when I got home yesterday, and I probably didn't wait long enough to start puffing the new one, and I think the wattage setting was too high. So yeah. Good thing I bought more coils, because I'm probably gonna have to change it- again. I'm going to confer with the experts on the facebook group I'm member of - Damping i Nord-Norge- (Norwegian group) and ask them what I did wrong.

First post!

Congratulations to me! First post! Firstly, I'd like to say that the name of this blog is not a joke. I am a n0ob if ever there was one. But I'm going to learn, and have son fun on the way. Let's have a look at my vaping history! In 2014 I discovered vaping and I immediately got out and bought a KangerTech Evod. I used it for about a year, and then I got my girlfriend one too. She loves hers, to the extent you can live something you don't really care about. I don't... My interest faded, and soon my dear pen was living in a drawer. Forgotten.  Lost. Now, in 2016, my interest bubbled back up, and I found a group on Facebook that was perfect for me. I started asking around and looking at their setups, and figured it was time to quit tobacco. Before I knew it I had won a giveaway; the eGo CE4. Another pen. Tried it for a week, but it wasn't t an improvement to the Evod. I needed something new, and started asking and searching. At first I may have be...
