Honestly I do still enjoy a few bevvies, but I know my limit and stop or go without completely. My next vise is smoking, looking into vape systems at the minute so when Tolemac has a few minutes I'll give him a shout for advice.
I've been vaping for 9 years this September.
Having used mesh coils I can assure you there is nothing better.
I don't mess around building coils there is no point. At all. I bought some of the regular triple coil heads and they were nowhere near as good as the mesh coils and got really, really hot.
I was using dual 18650 batteries, but I have since switched to a single molicel 21700.

Mostly because they last about as long as two 18650. You need a mod that takes them, though. I have two of these.

I wouldn't buy a mod that does not have replaceable batteries. I have four 21700 and I charge them in pairs. Using this.

I basically have two of everything because I can't tell you how many times I have gotten to my mother's and forgotten my crap
I am currently using this tank.

With these coils.

Each lasts about a week. I mostly vape with quite expensive liquids, but these are great.

Again, at £5 for 100ml it is not worth mixing up your own. I add a dash of this.

Because for high wattage vaping (which is what you want, if you are going to give up smoking) PG tends to be very runny and will leak when it gets hot enough.
The nicotine? don't waste your money on shots. They are a total rip off. What you want is pharma 72mg. 100ml costs about a tenner or so. Bear in mind that per 100ml of liquid I use about 4ml of the super strong stuff. So it lasts for about 6 months.
Finding that can be tough, but I can find the info if needed. You will also want some of these.

Like I say, buying shots is stupid. They are about £3 each, and you will need two or three to get you off the cigs. I pay £10 for 100ml of 72mg nic and it lasts me 6 months. TBH? I have dropped mine so much that I may soon go for nic free. I think it is more the lovely taste and the habit now, given how little I use.

Had a poke around. You may need someone with a business to order that. 250ml would last me over a year. Hence why I haven't had to look for ages because I bought 300ml last time around and I still have two unopened bottles.
You will probably need 24mg per for quitting the fags. IIRC that was 8ml into the 90 you get in the 100ml bottle.
As I say dude, getting reliable equipment is *THE* most important thing to do. If it stops working you will be straight down the corner shop for fags, because that is what happened to me when I started. The Ego T was the biggest POS I have ever known.
