The Vaping Pogonophile is a vaping legend . This dapper dude has been creating waves in the vaping industry ever since he started writing about his two passions ; vaping and beards . Over the next few months you ’ ll get to hear about The Vaping Pogonophile and what makes him tick . From former smoker to dedicated vaper , read about his inspirational vaping journey right here . Here is the second instalment and we pick up where the arrival of the Nova tank revolutionised vaping for him . Enjoy !
The arrival of the Nova tank revolutionised vaping for me . With changeable coils and a choice in coil size : 1.8 ohm , 2.4 ohm and 4.0 ohm , I used the 1.8ohm coil . With a plinth it fit nicely on to my Tornedo batteries which was great as there was little additional cost . The beauty of the Nova was that it was built with a plastic see through tank , it was easy to fill and it didn ’ t leak ! Double bonus !
As technologies advanced I tried lots of different units , but nothing was as good as my trusty Nova , so I stayed with it for about 18 months . In the mean-time there was a lot of work going on with different styles of batteries , most notably the variable voltage battery .
For me , things were becoming more complicated , but I followed closely , reading up as much as I could . In September 2014 I took the plunge and bought a variable voltage battery - the Totally Wicked Curve - 20w battery which came with the CS1 tank and a 1.5ohm coil . Once again this change of unit revolutionised my vaping .
I also realised with the excellent vapour production I didn ’ t need such a high nicotine strength and I dropped to a 1.8mg strength . With this strength change I found that for some reason my trusty e-liquid tasted just slightly different : the hunt for a different e-liquid began .
Steve , a good friend of mine had recently taken up vaping . I think he also started by using Totally Wicked but more recently began using a local company in my home
