Kit review for Vaping

In my original guide for beginners I added a piece about more advanced set-ups. I now realise that it wasn't the best place to put information on advanced kit.

So with that in mind this entry will be about the kit I am currently using.

I recently purchased the Cubis unit pictured on the left here and at least initially I thought it was a great bit of kit. However over time I found that the unit air-locked and you would have to open it frequently to allow air in otherwise the coil became dry and would burn out.

This was very frustrating as it was a very good clearomiser other than that one fault. Now it may have been my choice and mix of fluid that caused the problem but I have changed since then and yet the problem persists.

Out of frustration I made another purchase and went for the Aspire
Nautilus. Again initially this unit seems great. However one drawback is that the top and bottom both screw off. That is great for cleaning but it does mean you can inadvertently get leaks when refilling. It does however perform well. The key difference between the two is  how you adjust the airflow. The Cubis had a twistable top that had a complete variable range between fully open to fully closed. The Nautilus on the other hand has four pre-set holes of different sizes. You twist to select but there is a noticeable click and it stays in position whereas the Cubis could change very easily without your knowledge when in your pocket.

The Nautilus coils also seem to be marginally better too. I am getting 7 to 8 days from a coil with heavy use whereas with the Cubis I was lucky to get 5.

Overall rating
Cubis *** - If they sorted the airlock problem it would be a great unit.
Nautilus ***** It is a dated unit but I will be sticking with it for some time

For those readers that don't know about Parkrun here is a little background. Back in 2004 a runner who was nursing an injury decided to give a little back to his community by organising a timed run in his local park. He with 12 friends ran the very first Parkrun. Since then it has grown just a little. The current numbers for the total number of people who have completed a Parkrun are 1,354,849. Collectively we have covered over 64 million kilometers. Not bad for a free event. That picture on the left was taken on January 9th at Marlay Park Parkrun where I, pictured left, and my daughter on the right got to meet the man behind Parkrun Paul Sinton-Hewitt. It is a measure of Paul that when being interviewed later on RTE radio he was introduced as being effectively Parkrun. Paul immediately corrected the interviewer saying he wasn't Parkrun. The thousands of volunteers and participants are Parkrun. Parkrun Ambassadors from many Parkruns at Marlay with Paul Operation

eCigs - a beginners guide

Introduction Most people who know me, also know I use an eCigarette. As a result I am frequently asked on how to get started and I have frequently put together an email with details of where to buy and what to buy. In order to avoid re-doing the same email over and over again I am going to put it all here and just keep this updated. I am not going to go into the rights or wrongs of eCigs. I use them and I have no intention of giving them up. I have not had a real smoke of any kind for nearly two years. Where To Buy If you are a bricks and mortar type shopper then I would recommend the Kix shops. There are a growing number of them and I use either the one at the top of Talbot street or the one in Malahide. To find all locations have a look at their website - http://www.getyourkix.com/ If you prefer, or you don't like the pricing there are lots of alternatives. The one I use the most is  http://www.thebestshop.eu/shop/ . As shops go through stages of business the qua
