VapeCon starter kits for nic salt users: what works (v2)
VapeCon starter kits advice for Austria, covering support, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Anyone who has compared vapecon starter kits options in Austria quickly learns that specification lists only tell part of the story. In Austria, availability of the 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself.
Local availability in Austria shapes the practical answer more than the marketing does. Delivery across Austria is typically two to four working days with tracked dispatch, and returns are straightforward within the standard window.
Charging over Micro-USB takes about 32 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries. Two things to check before ordering: the Micro-USB socket on the base and whether the 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the AEKU Slim earns its keep: the 2500 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 50 and recharges over Micro-USB.
The standard bore mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips. Comparing this against a 50:50 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume. Battery behaviour is where the AEKU Slim earns its keep: the 2500 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 50 and recharges over Micro-USB.
Pricing in Austria shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current EUR rates rather than a fixed list price. Airflow control on the AEKU Slim is adjustable enough to move from a warm, restrained draw to something far more open without removing the tank. The 4.0 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem.
Replacement coils are widely available, and the 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the sensible default to keep in stock. The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own. What surprised us most was how little the 1.2 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 50:50 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Kiwi Lime: tangy, green, described as tart kiwi balanced by lime. On a 50:50 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 1.2 Ω mesh mark before the coil begins to mute it.
Practical considerations in Austria
Availability in Austria is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 1.2 Ω mesh and the Micro-USB are both in stock before committing, and check that the 510 thread matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and EUR rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
Take the time to get it right the first time; the difference shows up over months of use rather than days.
