Hi people, hope your all doing OK.

I was going to buy myself a cloupor 30W mini, but literally at the last hour (I get payed at midnight, I was told at about 11PM) this was not a very good vape, and some people who know more than me advised a Sigelei 30 Watt.

Well, I ordered this last night, and including a battery it was still about 3 pound cheaper than the cloupor, so result there!

I ordered a Nitecore I2 mains charger too, just got the one battery for now, a samsung 25R, as thats all I could afford.

I'l have to use a protank II clone on it for the first few weeks untill next payday, as the missus and family already think I am a bit mad spending over £55 on vaping stuff yesterday, so I will have to add to the collection slowly and stealthily, like vaping on my local C2C train line lol. (I don't actually vape on there. It's banned and I don't want to give people who use vaporizors a bad name because of me).

Long story short, I ordered a new toy last night, and can't wait for it to arrive, but earliest it will be here is Wednesday as monday is bank holiday :(.

Thanks j3rian, I feel like a kid waiting for a new toy lol. Thing is, I'm off the nic now (Last november) so vape 0% for the flavour and clouds. I am going to order some VG as I have PG and some concentrates as well soon and make my own mixes/juices :).

While I am not sure what the average pack of smokes cost where you live, I am fairly sure that if you keep track, the cost of vaping even when you factor in the initial cost of hardware and then the cost of of replacement coils and E-Liquid you will find that you are saving money by quitting smoking and starting to vape.

So go ahead and install this handy little app on your PC or whatever.

It will keep track of what you save by quitting the stinkies and you can share that info with the Mrs. so she will have proof that you are not a complete idiot.

Congrats on your new purchase. I hope it serves you well.

I am sure the 55 pounds is only a fraction of what would have been spent on tobacco products.

That is very true in perspective. Although I stopped nicotine about 6 or 7 months ago, if I smoked that is less than a weeks worth of smoking, a pack of 20 is about £6.70

Congrats on your purchase! Not sure about exchange rate, but a carton of cigs here in Georgia runs from $30-$50 USD, so you didn't spend too much comparatively speaking.

Good move on swapping the Cloupor for the Sig - I did the same thing, but went from the Cloupor T8 to a Sig 100 at the last second...it's been my go-to device for months, I just recently got a couple smaller mods and new-generation clearomizers to carry around town. Also a good choice with the charger and batteries, though it would be a good idea to pick a couple more batteries up on your next spending spree to cycle through so you're not always hammering on just one...

Congrats bro ham. wow, what is that, 8 bucks per pack? I hate lung cancer etc as much as anyone...but people should be able to buy whatever they want-- for themselves as long as it does no harm to others-- without the extreme taxes. But then I'll get on a legalization rant. I do not do any drugs other than caffeine and nicotine but I should be able to slam back some crack c*caine if I am an adult and I do not hurt others.

Way more than that - methinks a pound is worth roughly twice as much as a US dollar, give or take exchange rate...

Gratz on your purchase! You did well getting the Sig, they have a very good reputation a produce good products. They also handle warrantees very well if needed. Just some advice though, get some snow spikes for your shoes because you just entered a very slippery slope and one mod tends to lead to another very quickly!

You're going to love that mod. Let us know how you like it when it gets in. And if you need any advice on great stealth devices to use on the train let us know... we have a few good suggestions for you.

Ahh stealth, that sounds good. Brings out the metal gear fan in me lol. But my first tank I buy in a fortnight(Using a protank II clone at moment) will be the nautilus mini, this can give some nice flavour and clouds yeah?

As an owner of both the Sigelei mini and cloupor mini they both work just fine..I question however that the cloupor isnt a good vape..i actually prefer it over the sigelei for a few reasons.

1.) SIZE...much more compact
2.) 15 second puff limit...not 7
3.) Price..10 dollars cheaper

But in any case congrats on you set up..enjoy it.

Mike, are you in Durham? I am about 25 minutes from you...and from the look of your site and its flavorings and supplies, I would absolutely love to stop by your location if it's open to the public?

I got the SIgelei for £8 ( About $15 cheaper) it was £32, the cloupor £40 so it was the cheaper one for me, and thanks I hope I get enjoyment from it :). I ordered some VG as I already got PG and going to start making my own juice.

10 dollars 18 a pack lol, and I agree with your legalisation comment.

Well i just found out the protank wont work without an adapter, so I ordered the Nautilus mini anyway lol. Got the whole kit now.

Probably just as well the Protank doesn't work without adapter. The Nautilus mini with BVC coil will perform brilliantly on that mod and you are in for a very good vape combo there. And if you work on your technique a bit, you will be able to stealth vape that combo anywhere.

That sounds good. I will also be able to get nice clouds for when I am at home though yeah? That will be a bonus if I can stealth vape with it.

ive been mulling over the best mouth to lung tank....im leaning towards the naut mini myself. coils cost a ton though. can you tell me how it does for you? Especially if it handles 70/30 PG/vg (yes, high pg that is) without leaking? And is it too harsh with high pg?

I'l let you know how the Sigelei works with 70/30 as I am going to make flavours and juices myself. I'm sorry i'm in the UK so bought it from an English shop, so not too sure where you could buy it over there. Getting delivered by UPS tomorrow, so exicted now looking at the confirmation emails lol

I payed £32 for what I believe to be the genuine article, sigelei 30 watt, the shop has good reviews on a UK forum so doubt they will advertise it as genuine when its not.
