Hi Everyone, Great forum you have here.

I'm Nico from Durban, South Africa.
So after smoking on and off for the last few years i decided to give vaping a try. Been on the forum for a while trying to research about the vaping experience and finally got myself a setup.
I was initially torn apart between all the different starter kits but got a hold of an Evic Vtc Mini with the Steam Crave Aromamizer RDTA. I was thrown in to the deep end with the Aromamizer as it required me to learn about coil building and wicking. A few days on YouTube and reading through pages and pages of detailed info on Ecigssa and i was good to go. It tool me a while to get acquainted with the rdta but i can safely say i know what I'm doing now lol. Here's a few pics of the setup paired with some DDD.

I managed to get a hold of some prebuilt claptons and installed these. Although they were great i battled with a lot of spit back and was advised to go back to standard coils.

Learnt a lot from this setup but a few weeks later i felt like i needed something a bit extra. Came across a good deal on the Wismec Rx200 and i took the leap.

Since then I've started building my own coils and have just ordered the Tornado Nano.
Thanks for looking
Happy Vaping All.

Spitback is almost always due to loose wicking and/or low power. I run Claptons almost exclusively and had the same problem early on. The fix for me was a tad more cotton wicking and more power. I run my Claptons at 80-85 watts now, they are SS316L.

I think with the Evic it was a power issue as running the mod at 30-40w would drain the battery in a few hours so i tried staying below 30w. I have not tried the claptons with the rx200 as I'm very happy with the SS coils.

Try the tank on the RX200 with more power and let me know what you think about it.

Will definitely give it a go this weekend. I think i may have a few of those claptons lying around. I did however try my first twisted ss coil this weekend and did not enjoy it at all. The airflow seemed a big too 'limited' and the juice consumption went through the roof. This was a 3mm coil in the aromamizer. Hopefully when i get my tornado nano tomorrow i can try a few different builds in there.

Managed to get myself a pretty awesome little Tornado Nano. The wicking took me a while to get the hang of but so far so good with no leaks. And I just love the murdered look with the heat sensitive glass.
