I started off with 2 genuine Ego twists, 2 vivi novas, and more juice than I can count.
Both of my Ego twists still work and hold a charge. My one problem is the 1000mah one seems to have developed stripped threads and only 1 tank of the many I have will even thread into it.
I tried multiple Kanger tanks like the T2 and T3. Both only lasted for a few days/a week or so. My T2 plastic tip broke off in my mouth (barely touching it) so I bought one of the cool metal tips only to find out a few days later that the juice I was vaping at the time (banana split) seems to kill plastic tanks. I didnt like it anywhere near enough to buy another one.
My vivi novas... I have 3 3.5ml tanks, 2 mini's, and explained later, 2 new V-fate's. They all work. Tip them upside down after a hit, and hit them again pretty much instantly. Flavor isnt great and they have a "heavy" draw to them. The wicks seem to last forever. Ive had a wick in my 3.5ml tank vaping a nearly clear juice last 5 weeks. In search of more flavor, and my desire to vape some Cherry's and Ecto Cooler, I moved on.
Then I came to the Protank. I bought 2 of them... this is a love hate relationship with me. AWESOME flavor and I can vape anything I want. Then the problems come in. The O-ring on the base of one of them seems to come off every time I go to fill it. A minor inconvenience, but it still happens. Then comes an interesting issue. My 1 protank will kill a coil in 3 days. No mater what battery it is on, or what juice is in it. The other will last 1-2 weeks on the same batteries with darker juice. I dont get it at all. But that does being me to another issue with the Protanks. The coil life. Forget 3-5 WEEKS with a nova coil, I get anywhere from 4 days to maybe 2 weeks on a coil in the protank. That isnt made any better by the coils being more expensive than nova coils. So again I went searching.
Finally I came full circle and bough 2 Vision ViVi Nova V-fates that come with the new dual coil heads. They seem to have the same "issues" normal Nova's have. The heavy draw and the every so slightly less muted flavor. The dual coil heads seem to also be a double edge sword. The flavor is slightly less muted and I seem to get more actual vapor production. However they get hot, very hot. So much so I had to buy ceramic drip tips to avoid the unpleasant heat on my lips.
As for batteries like I said I still have my 2 Ego Twists. The threads might be a bit weak, but they always work. I have bought a Vision Spinner, and I can actually say it is my 1 regret. The battery life is fine, but it seems strange. I have to turn it up way higher to get the same vape I do with my Egos or my new toy (next) I also have a sneaking suspicion that it is killing coils faster than any of my other batteries. It seems like the coils die 2-5 days sooner, across multiple tanks and juices, than any of the rest of my batteries. At first it was a "huh" but over 3 months now, it has been a consistent 2-5 days sooner. This could however be from the fact I have to vape at 4.4-4.6v on the Vision when my Ego Twists have never moved past 4v
Now, for my newest, and most favorite thing ever. The VAMO. I am vaping at a consistent 7.5-8 Watts and getting great solid throat hits, great vapor production and just unparalleled battery life (Using a 18650) I really should have bought 1 right off the bat. In fact, I am now tempted to buy 2 more but we will see about that. I always have the idea in the back of my head of a Lava Tube or possibly a Provari but as of right now, I dont see what either would do that the VAMO cant or doesnt.
This has been a very fun journey so far. Right now my perfect line-up is VAMO with a ProTank (despite its problems) vaping MtBakerVapor juice (TheVaporRoom is a close second, but almost 2x the price per ml) Where do I go next friends?
