Newbie here need some advise

[HackitZ]

Hi everyone, after 35 years of smoking i have jumped on the band wagon of vaping.
I have a kanger tech emo and it's ok but I want more.
after reading around i figure i want a mechanical mod.
i'm looking at a black nemesis 18350 + 18500 + 18650, figure i'll use a 650 battery.
my issue is picking out a decent atomizer tank, i dont want the drip kind as i'm looking for this to last my whole day out from the house.
what would be a good tank to start with?
would this one i found be good enough to get me started
DOME Style RBA Rebuildable Atomizer (2.5ml)

 

[UncleRJ]

Kayfun series IMHO. Easy to build and they work great especially if you get a quartz tank kit.

 

[Oggy]

+1 for Kayfuns I have 4 and love them. I would suggest the EHPRO V2 Kayfuns.

[HackitZ]

thanks for the reply,
I'm about to order the nemesis mech and kayfun tank (Kayfun Lite Styled Rebuildable Atomizer)
Other than getting a battery and charger what else will i need to buy to get this going?
Thanks for the help

I thought The Fogger V4 6ml would have looked great

 

[Oggy]

I love the Nemmy, It was my first and still my favorite mech.

http://www.illumn.com/batteries-chargers-and-powerpax-carriers/chargers/nitecore-d4-digicharger.html

so with this setup other than juice will i need to add anything to get started?
Thanks for the replies and help everyone.

 

[HackitZ]

i do have another question where do i buy the cotton (or what can i use) for the wick?

 

[Donald Bickers]

I would recommend an ohm meter,and you will need some kanthol wire at 28 to 30 awg,cotton for wicking,my preference is cellu cotton ,available at almost any beauty supply

 

[HackitZ]

hi again,
i changed my order a little, went with the 18350 battery, illumm wanted to much to ship to cnada and ordered them from coolvap in canada. i ordered the 18350 as the other batteries were out of stock and i figured i could change the batteries to the 18650 later. is my logic right here or am i in for headaches with the 18350?
http://www.illumn.com/18350-efest-purple-imr18350-v2-700mah-high-discharge-button-top.html

also went with the stainless nemesis
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1448300
also added the magnets
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1558901
and then went with this ken flo, it comes with a wick so i should not need more for the moment.
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1844107

I'm hoping all i need to do is figure out the voltages and enjoy my new mech, hopefully I'm not missing anything.
thanks for the help guy's.

 

[Donald Bickers]

18350 will work you just need about 3 to run in rotation,,i still recommend the ohm meter and wire,,,cause youll be needing wire almost imediately

 

[HackitZ]

where's the best place to buy stuff here in canada, I'm hoping someone from canada can shed some light on where to get supplies.

Thanks for the positive input, i'm feeling better about my new adventure.
i did order the a charger as well.
is this the wire you're recommending? If so why the pre coiled? is 2.4 ohm a good place to start? should i order some nichrome wire just in case?
pre made

What I use for wire is ,,, Kanthal A1 Round,,,,its about 10 bucks for 100 ft roll and will last you along time,i ususlly get 30 awg,I would recommend trying to make your own coils,,,it so much cheaper and after you start getting the hang of things you can controle what ohm you want to get,i have a kayfun lite and I try for around 1 ohm for my coils,i get good flavor and good clouds,,,,i use diy juice @ 70pg/30vg mix ratio,,,,,,,these are all just what works for me,,,,you can go up and down on wire sizes and ohms,its all what works for you,,,sounds to me like a month from now your gonna be a pro,,,good luck with everything and happy vaping
if you want to know anything else feel free to ask,i can share what works for me,,,let me know how things go once you get goin

 

[HackitZ]

ok here's my order from tonight, i can see i'm getting carried away. lol
Still cheaper than smoking.

I see you have vg and pg,,,,,if you want to make some diy juice get some pg base 100mg nicotine and I will share some basic recipes with you
you will need a couple of syringes 1@ 1ml and 1@ 10ml with 18 guage needles

 

[HackitZ]

I thought propylene glycol usp was a base? if not i'll have to look to see where i can buy it here in canada.
I still have yet to find nicotine here in canada.
i'm starting with small bottles as this is more of experimenting for now.
From my list what do you see that i'm missing to start mixing.
I have lots of syringes, i do my own ink for my printers.

 

[Donald Bickers]

just nicotine and flavor extracts
and empty bottles

 

[HackitZ]

where do you order nicotine?
maybe they ship here.

 

[HackitZ]

ok i found a place, here's the description
100 mg/ml (10%). Available in various sizes with either a PG or VG base.

 

[Donald Bickers]

last I ordered was at My Freedom Smokes,,,,,,,,try,,Vices Electronic Cigarettes,,,,,try,,Wizard Labs,,,these places all have fairly moderately priced nicotine that I think is good quality,,,,,i recommend 100mg100%PG,but that's your call,i can work with whatever you get as long as I know what you have

 

[Donald Bickers]

ok i found a place, here's the description

,i recommend 100mg100%PG

[HackitZ]

is that is the right formula?

 

[Donald Bickers]

yes,,,,I personally use 100mg/100%PG,have you tried Vices Electronic Cigarettes or My Freedom Smokes,,,do they ship to Canada

 

[Donald Bickers]

I just checked ,,,,,MFS ships international

 

[HackitZ]

here's what i can order, Nic Level 100mg, Size 125mil - $17.99, PG/VG Mix 100% PG.

 

[Donald Bickers]

that works,,,,,,,lot fuckin cheaper huh

 

[HackitZ]

hell yeah. sometimes it sucks up here, we tend to take it up the ass alot.
do you use a safety fuse in your nemesis?

 

[Donald Bickers]

I personally don't,,,,but you being new I suggest you do until you get more knowledge,and don't take that wrong because I don't mean anything bad,,,,,if I told you not to use one and something happened,i don't know what I would do,,,,you cant practice safety enough

 

[Donald Bickers]

so you are going to order from mfs

 

[HackitZ]

yeah i'm ordering the nicotine from them, just hope i get it.

 

[HackitZ]

what battery are you using?

 

[Donald Bickers]

yeah i'm ordering the nicotine from them, just hope i get it.

I don't know why you wouldn't,i just got a litre of nicotine from them,imo its very good clean stuff

 

[Donald Bickers]

my 18350 battery is,Efest 700mah 10.5amp the purple one,i use 3 in rotation
my 18650 battery is Efest 2500mah 35amp also the purple one,i have 2 of these

 

[HackitZ]

keep getting a gateway error when i order, maybe they stopped shipping to canada.

 

[Donald Bickers]

contact customer service and ask them

 

[Donald Bickers]

if that doesn't work,Ecig express has good nicotine about the same price and they ship international

 

[HackitZ]

thanks, i'm waiting for a reply.

 

[Donald Bickers]

I go ahead and check Ecig express to
