1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    An atomizer is a tank or dripper. All drippers and some tanks you have to build your own coils install them into the "atties" and then wick them with cotton. "dropins" refer to prebuilt stock coils that you simply screw into the tank and vape away with your selected juice. The one coming with your kit is a dropin/stock coil tank. When you get into vaping, your probably better to migrate to building your own as stock coils can be hard to find sometimes here in Thailand.
    This is an example of a "dropin" or stock coil.

    As opposed to a RTA or RDA deck that you have to build yourself.

    Much better to start off with stock coils.

    it's also called "coil head"... that's the one that you need to replace (in time)...

    lucky you, TVS has stock of coil head for Gnome tank... better to order now while it's on stock... คอยล์สำเร็จบุหรี่ไฟฟ้า Wismec - WM Coil Head for Gnome Tank (5pcs) ยี่ห้อ Wismec ราคาถูก| THAI VAPE SHOP

    The two coil heads that comes with the tank is prolly good for 2months (-/+) depends on the usage/juice you vape. It can be cleaned though, (just search in youtube) or better yet, just stock up on extra coil heads... I guess, with those extra coil heads, you now have ample time to decide whether to continue forward or give it up.

    I think you bought a decent setup. But, would have advised something a little more geared for beginners. That one is pretty cloudy from what I understand.

    I hope I'm wrong... but I wouldnt advise anyone on quitting cigarettes..to start vaping with 3mg liquid..

    Myself, I started on 18mg. and didnt reduce the nicotine strength for 2 years, I reduced from 18mg to 12mg...

    The higher mg of nicotine you vape, the less cravings you will have.

    Good luck, and if you need any advice, we are here to help....

    Well, the day I got my first gear, 8 month ago, I was on 25 cigs or more a day. Since then, I didn't have a single one. I was lucky that I was ignorant enough not to know that e-juices of different nic levels exist. So from the day one I'm vaping 3mg and never had a problem. Not that I'm saying that this could work for everyone, but surelly would not suggest anyone to start with 18mg. But people have different needs, so that's what I have to say about it.

    Well so my first experience is not so good with it.

    Prob is it bloody leaks from start.

    Why is that?

    Every time i heat it it starts leak under atomizer making mess, hot juice goes on my hand....

    Its like oil so its messy

    I tried twice and same effect, I made sure its tight

    Not a clue, there is spare atomizer may b i should try it

    On pics its not bad, after a while it leaks heavy

    I have no experience with that tank. But there are a couple of standard thing to look for. Take the tank apart and check all the 'O' rings are in place and in good condition. Make sure everything is screwed together well. Is the top fill sealing tight? Have you screwed the coil head in properly. If there is a screw on the 510 pin, check it is tight. When you fill the tank, did you close the airflow at the bottom? Did you fill it to the brim? Is the juice coming out from the airflow slots or leaking out elsewhere?

    @Xaos,
    Your coil is not tighten enough .
    You have to screw it to the based really tight.
    And screw back the base to the tank pretty tight too (be carefully of cross thread, as this is a factor of leakage also and it will be damn difficult to uscrew it).
    At how many wattage to you vape?
    What is the resistance of your coil?

    In this video at 1.58 , it says be careful when unscrewing the glass tank, as the o-ring can come away and can cause leaking..

    if the coil are compatible with the melo 3 nano and if you want a backup, I can send you the melo 3 mini
    (I quite sure the one setup on the eleaf 75 as a kit ).
    I don't have the original drip tip but will fix one.
    I got it on a big give away, don't use it and want the stay faithful to my rebuilding deck
