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
