Hey Billy, welcome to ECF! I started vaping about 8 years ago, but have been on and off cigarettes in that time. I have managed to quit smoking several times(for an entire year once) but always ended up smoking again because of various issues with vaping hardware.
My very first e-cig was a 510. Batteries didn't last long. Cartridges were expensive and a pain to refill. Performance was wildly inconsistent. It leaked, flooded, and had intermittent dry hits after just taking a few puffs on a new cartridge. So back to smoking cigarettes. New equipment would come out and would be better, but still there would be issues and I would always go back to smoking. A Bic lighter and pack of Camels just work.
Over the past few years mods became mainstream and I thought I might finally be able to quit smoking for good. They performed light years beyond all the cigalikes, were much more consistent, batteries and tanks can last a full day or more.
BUT... I still had problems. Equipment was still too expensive. Tanks still flood, leak, and have dry hits. I was also spending more time cleaning and maintaining my equipment than I wanted to. I'm not really into vaping as a hobby, just want to enjoy vaping and get my nic fix.
A couple of months ago I got an Eleaf iCare and this seemed to be exactly what I had always dreamed of. It produces good vapor and great flavor, able to last me almost an entire day, it's tiny and dirt cheap. Maintenance just consists of filling it up with liquid and rinsing it out and replacing coil heads occasionally. It spits and gurgles every once in a while, but never had dry hits. The only thing was it didn't quite satisfy me. Having previously used an eVic VT with a Kanger Subtank mini and sub ohm coils, the iCare just didn't produce quite enough vapor.
Then last week I got a Kanger Togo Mini. It produces way more vapor than the iCare, it's just as effortless to use, inexpensive, holds more liquid, the battery lasts longer, and it's easier to fill and clean. It's perfect... except when I got down to half a tank it would sometimes flood and start tasting harsh
I did some googling and found out that the problem may be that vapor is condensing back onto the coil causing flooding. That turned out to be the problem exactly. When I was using it, I wasn't taking long enough drags to complete clear the vapor out of the chimney and coil. The vapor re-condensed and caused flooding. This was solved by simply taking a drag for an extra second after I let go of the fire button. I've went though a few tanks since I figured this out and now it works absolutely perfectly. Like a Bic and pack of Camels, the Togo Mini just works
Wow, this post ended up being way, waaaay longer than I intended! Haven't been on ECF for a while and I'm glad to be off cigarettes again.
TLDR: Billy, try a Kanger Togo Mini. They consistently produce tons of vapor, great flavor and are inexpensive. Just remember to keep taking a drag for a second after releasing that fire button
