New to vaping - What do I need to buy

[Chris K]

Heya, I've been smoking half a pack a day for the past ~4 years, and have been trying to switch to vaping.
Around a month ago I bought a juul - it's been a blast to use but I was looking for something that'd produce bigger clouds. From the research I've done, to get a box kit you'd need to purchase a box mod and an RTA.
Heard something about coils and cotton? Not sure if this is needed or what type to get?

So far been looking at a Tesla Nano 120w and a Kylin RTA V2.

Is there anything else I'd need and if so what?

Best wishes

Welcome to the Planet.

You've had some great advice above but I'll just add, walk before you run.

You have only been off the cigs for 4 weeks, you'll still be craving nicotine and sounds like the Juul is keeping those cravings away at the moment. If you want a big cloudy device, that isn't the best for keeping the cravings at bay and you'll find your juice consumption will rise massively.

Other option is, get a big cloudy device but keep your Juul with it aswell. That way you get the clouds/flavour but also have a device that will help with the nicotine.

I'd avoid RTAs for now. They are very good but many stock coil (where you simply screw in a pre-made coil with cotton) tanks are on par now with the very best RTAs, especially at Sub Ohm (Cloudy tanks). RTAs need quite a learning curve and after 4 weeks, it's probably not ideal for you.

Hello mate.

First off, I love Tesla Steampunk mods..and have two myself, including the 120w Nano mod. You'll need to get a couple of Samsung 30Q 18650 batteries (actaully get several pairs!), which you can get from Fogstar batteries....arguably one of if not the most trusted battery supplier in UK! Fogstar is a vendor & member on here, is a highly respected battery merchant..and gosh darn nice man! You can get 15% off with POTV15 discount code too.

As for choice of tanks...well, i'm mainly a MTL vaper, but almost since i started vaping just over a year ago, i've also had a couple of DTL stock coil tanks..namely The Uwell Crown SE1 tank..and also recently bought the latest Crown 4 tank. You can various stock coils for it, including the 0.5ohm coil, but i favour the 0.25 ohm coil myself.

I personally think this is a good medium, if you're still trying to quit the stinkies with your other mod, but wish to try something a bit more powerful. The S/S 0.25 Crown tank coils, i find, last an age in my experience, and provide decent flavour and cvapour production.

This tank is what i use on my Tesla W Nano mod.

The only thing i would point out re that Tesla mod...is that my battery door does sometimes come open, meaning the batteries fall out...so i bought amade to fit silicon sleeve for it to stop that happening! They can bought onlne almost anywhere..i got mine from Ebay.

Hope this helps.
