OK, I have looked around and I still have a few questions....
What is dripping?
Why do some tanks crack? (and how to avoid that)
What is a mod?
What & where is a coil, and when do I need to change it and how?
I just purchased the MVP 2.0, will I need to do the coil thing? and what kind of tank should I purchase for use with it?
Thank you!
Dripping is just what it sounds like. They drip a few drops onto/into a coil and take a few hits, drip some more, hit, drip. There is no tank to hold the liquid.
Polycarbonate tanks react to the flavors in citrus, menthol, and some other strong flavorings. The tank will cloud, crack or even melt. Glass/Pyrex, stainless steel and polypropylene don't seem to have the problem.
A mod is basically anything other than the original cig-a-like type e-cigarettes. Some people only refer to the flashlight & box type vaporizers as mods, though. Mechanical or mech mods don't have any lcd screens or voltage/wattage adjustment.
The coil is the part that heats up. It will be inside a cartomizer which is disposable so you won't have to do anything other than replace it. In a clearomizer, most are replaceable but a few are not and they come in top coil, bottom coil, and dual bottom coil. They also come with long wicks, short wicks and hidden wicks. The coil is inside the tank and is usually removed by unscrewing the bottom of the tank if it is replaceable. In a dripper, the coil usually looks like the spring out of a ball point pen with a wick stuck through the center. The user drips onto the coil/wick, fires the device and inhales the vapor. There is also a device called a carto tank which is a cartomizer inside of a tank like a clearomizer. The carto acts as the coil/atomizer inside the carto tank. It will have at least 1 hole in it to draw in the liquid from the tank. The coil is hidden inside the carto and surrounded by filler material.
You can use any of the above on your MVP. I started with an iClear 16 (top coil, long wick clearomizer) and an EVOD (bottom coil) clearomizer. The top coil devices will seem to be a warmer vapor because your lips are closer to the coil.
Will you want to change flavors often? If yes, you'll want a bottom coil device or several toppers to use different flavors in.
Any 510 or ego threaded topper will fit on your MVP without an adapter. It's hard to find a topper that isn't 510 or ego threaded. If you can afford it, I would try a few different types to find the one or two that work best for you.
