Hi everyone! First of all, thanks for having me! I’m a complete beginner, I quit my daily pack of cigarettes on March 20th after more than 30 years…
I started with the Vapsolo 4 because that’s what I could get, which is good because for me the flavors are very sweet and so I put it down after a short time because it’s too much. Then I found a wonderfully delicious vanilla pipe flavored liquid and an Aspire Avata device, which I managed to order with great difficulty… For me (for now) it’s perfect. It works very well, you can fill 15ml of liquid into the pod 
but since it doesn’t have a very large capacity and its battery is 1100mAh, it drains quite quickly. Me being a bit naive, I thought I’d order another one so that while one is charging, I’d have a spare… but they’re out of stock and I can’t find them anywhere 
If anyone sees one anywhere, please let me know. If you know of any other beginner-friendly, very small handheld devices, I’d gladly accept advice too. Thanks!
Hi!
First of all, congratulations! 
Although I’m not an expert, but in the gorcső category, you can find some reviews by @Vaperina_Kinga, which might help you choose your next pod.
Hi! Thank you very much!
Yesterday I read a lot and concluded that there are 2 devices that might be good for me and could be affordable right now, but I really can’t decide… 
please help me
One is the Eleaf iStick Pico plus mod, which is good because it’s very small
The other is the Eleaf iStick xc100 box mod, which is larger, admittedly, but seems newer/more modern.
Both have swappable batteries.
I have my eye on the Eleaf GTL Pod tank.
Hi!
Pico is an old, well-proven design.
Hi, welcome to Vaperina and congratulations on quitting!
I’m glad you mentioned the Eleaf Pico Plus, because I was just about to recommend it if you’re looking for a small, removable battery mod. I have one too, and I’ve been using it with great satisfaction for years. I particularly like it for its size, it’s absolutely pocket-friendly, reliable, and perfect even for smaller hands. The Pico Plus accepts tanks up to 25 mm, so please consider this when making your choice.
Wishing you great flavors! 
Hi!
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for your opinion! 
Yes, the size of the device is also a main consideration for me, as my hands/palm are very small
Hi!
Thank you very much for the help!
Hi!
Maybe an Aspire Nautilus 3 tank?
Many people here on Vaperina have very good opinions about it.
Thank you!
I welcome any tips/experiences. I’ll check this one too.
Basically, I was trying to find a tank for which I can buy replacement coils, because obviously, they wear out.
I checked it out, it looks good but it says it has a factory coil… hmm what does that mean? Can’t I replace it?
Wow, this isn’t simple.
So, with your help, the final decision:
Eleaf iStick Pico plus mod rose gold + 2 x 18650 batteries
Aspire Nautilus 3 tank silver
Vanilla pipe e-liquid 100ml
All of this, of course, ‘cobbled together’ from 3 sites in the Opera browser with a VPN 
This is why I started my registration by signing the petition.
Thank you everyone very much for the help/opinions and everything else!
I’m eagerly waiting for them to arrive! But you won’t get rid of me 
, because after that comes what and how to set it up to be good…
Hi. How about the 1 ohm mesh coil alongside the 1.6 ohm one, for a try? Being mesh, its flavor reproduction is much better, perfect for MTL, and as far as I know, the 1.6 BVC is the older technology (it has wire winding inside).
Hi! Thanks, I’ll definitely try this one you recommend too! I’ll get a 0.7 ohm one for the tank. But unfortunately, I only found a spare 1.6 ohm one. 
Based on what you’re writing, maybe that won’t be as good, but it will wear out and by then I’ll be more experienced, because there are many great people here who help me! Thanks
I can recommend it, a unique tube mod, you’ll hardly encounter one. It’s 0-100 WATTS, with a comfortable grip, uses 20700 batteries and includes an adapter for 18650 (recommended: Sony VTC5A 2600 mAh or LG 3000 mAh - depending on wattage. If you vape at 30 watts, the LG is perfect. If at 50-90 then it definitely needs the 20700, as it’s a single battery mod.). The diameter at the tank’s spot is 24.5mm, so both 24.5mm and 25mm tanks look perfect on it. I have it in Black, SS (Mirror Silver - according to the manufacturer’s color reference), Gunmetal, and White. (White-black, just like SS-black, as the display buttons and bottom cap are black.) SUMMA SUMMARUM: IJOY SABER IS (almost) THE PERFECT TUBE MOD (that has been manufactured so far)
Simple, looks great, ergonomic, not a bulky brick, it conveys the cigar/cigarette experience as you hold it in your hand. It can be combined with a lot of tanks.
If an even simpler one suits you, I recommend the Aspire CF Mod. 22mm tanks fit it well, but the original Atlantis tank boosted with a modern mesh coil (ELEAF EC-A 0.3 OHM) makes it perfect. (Click the blue link, picture and description can be found there)
Hi! Thank you very much for the idea and the detailed description!
For now, what I’ll receive will be enough. If I like it and get to know it, it definitely won’t be my only kit, as I read you all here…
So, the one you recommended might be the next one
I still have many small, initial difficulties, in which you have already helped me a lot.
I’m still struggling with the e-liquid too, because for now I’ve only bought pre-mixed, but I like it a lot! A slightly/pleasantly vanilla pipe tobacco flavor and it’s divine! 
It will surely remain an eternal favorite, especially because it was the first thing that helped me quit smoking!
It would be good to mix it myself eventually. I was just looking at that now, that I’ve found base in several places, but I haven’t found tobacco/flavored tobacco aroma concentrate anywhere yet. 
If you know of such things and have links to them, I would also be very grateful, because then, based on the beginner’s crash course, I would try to mix my own e-liquid. 
Hi, that’s why @Gilbert, our ‘colleague’ is here. If we don’t spell it out, it’s because… he helps, and VapeDIY is here too 
Hi Tünde! @Tucsok I see Zolika @Zolika has already thrown you into the deep end, so I’m reporting in! A great choice are the iStick Pico Plus and the Nautilus 3, a truly classic and reliable pair, you won’t be disappointed.
Regarding liquids and flavors, don’t worry, I’ll help you navigate the ‘procurement maze’. If the vanilla-tobacco profile (RY4 or similar) appeals to you, then I have a few sure-fire tips on where you can look for flavors:
Where to find the best flavors?
Within Hungary, these webshops are the most active, and you’ll find plenty of tobacco and dessert-tobacco (e.g., vanilla tobacco) flavors there:
- Aroma49 – You’ll find tons of flavors here, it’s worth checking out the tobacco category.
- Solubaroma – Very popular, well-priced, and their tobacco-vanilla combinations (like the legendary Breakfast) are favorites of many.
- Flavorhook – Also a great place to find them, with a huge selection.
If you want to mix your own…
Since you mentioned you’d try making your own e-liquid, I wholeheartedly recommend Vaperina’s own developed little handy tool, the VapeDIY calculator:
This little tool takes the math off your shoulders. You just enter how much nicotine you want, what the recommended flavor percentage is (they usually write this on the bottle), and it tells you exactly how many milliliters of base liquid and flavor are needed.
What you’ll need for mixing:
- Base liquid (PG and VG): You can get these from Aroma49 or Floravita.
- Flavor: From the shops linked above.
- Nicotine booster: If you need nicotine, in Hungary, you can legally only buy it in 10 ml bottles at National Tobacco Shops.
An important piece of advice: If you’re mixing tobacco flavors, be patient! These flavors usually need 2-3 weeks to ‘steep’ before their true taste comes out. Don’t be alarmed if it’s not like what you bought in a shop on the first day.
If you get stuck with mixing or anything else, just let me know, I’m here!
Hi! Thanks a lot!
