Hey guys,
I'm somewhere between n00b and intermediate user, more active on the IRC channel than on the forum, but I wanted to throw this out to the wider community..
I'm looking to up my capacity for my at-home setup. Currently very happy with the Nautilus Mini and obviously, I could always get the 5ml version and call it a day but I wanted to see if there are some other alternatives I can look into to match the experience.
Currently running it at 4.7V for 80/20, 5.0V for 70/30 and 5.2V for some 60/40 Foo junk that I'm using temporarily until my Dekang order from FT arrives, with 1.8ohm BVC coils. Adjusted for max airflow, I'm getting just the right amount of vapour for my needs and more than enough flavour. My coils last forever and a half even though I typically clean them after using them for a week (in batches of 5).
Before that, I used to run a Protank 2 but it was a hassle.. Started out by having to pull out the wick, then I could never give it enough voltage to give me enough vapour without burning out the coils and or the juice (that started in the upper 3's, lower 4's with 1.8ohm attys). I don't know why there is such a difference between the two.. Maybe the BVC coils are thicker/longer? (I don't do rebuilds) and can take more current, while generating heat over a larger area, thus not burning themselves out or the juice..
In any case, I wanna upgrade the size since I'm monogamous with my juice (mostly Dekang take on Lucky Strikes).. I wouldn't mind saving $10ish and get a different mfgr tank that will take BVC coils as long as the quality's there. Maybe even something with different coils (if they're commonly available) as long as they will give me the same vaping experience. It would have to be a glass tank (not a big fan of plastics or metal. Any other thoughts on tanks/coils/what makes the difference between the Kanger/Aspire systems are also welcome as they would give me an idea what to look for. Thanks in advance!
