3 yr break and back to vaping

[skelley]

A long story short, I went back to analogs about 3yrs ago.
Two of my family members, which I got started vaping, still vape to date.
The wife still uses her provari 2.5 w/ Mustank BTC H5 clearomizer and my son is using a Kangertech DripBox.
I decided to clean up my old Provari 2.5 and head to two local vape shops. Both shops sold nothing but sub ohm devices. I knew I could jump online and buy some bottom coil devices, but decided to get myself some new gear anyways.

I grabbed a Wismec Reluleaux RX200S and a Smok TFV4 tank not to mention some Kilo fruit whip juice (70/30, 12mg).
I am mostly a MTL vaper, so the TFV4 took some time to get use to since it is very airy.
Vapor production from the TFV4 is great and flavor is good.

I like having several tanks and clearomizers with different flavors for swapping.
After searching the net, I noticed a lot has changed in the last 3 yrs, so I have a lot of research to do. I am a bottom coil fan as it seems they deliver the best flavor for me.
Any suggestions are welcomed and greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome back!! You might want to try the aspire nautilus it has bottom vertical coils or you would rather rebuildables the Merlin Rta is a good choice..have fun as there are soo many choices out there now

Yes, read, read ,read .............and Stock up Fast. Three is an FDA Tornado coming and not much will be left!
Recommend you search out MTL Tanks to reduce e-liquid usage. Single coil units work vest for that. Self efficiency is a plus - RTA Tanks are cheap to keep working.
Clones of the Kayfun mini V3 are low power and good single coil build MTL tanks.

If your a rebuilder then a subtank mini with the RBA is a great atty, you can buy larger tanks and the RBA is sickenly easy to build and wick. I haven't used any of the stock subtank coils so I have no opinion on them. I have anywhere from .5ohm claptons for my box mods to a 1.2ohm spaced 28 gauge to fire my provari in my subtanks. I have to build my tootle puffin wife a 1.6ohm coil in her subtank since she will burn up a low ohm coil fast with her vape method.
This is just 1 of a gazillion opinions and options of what atty you should buy but for your provari you have to be 1.2ohm or higher to get past the protection.
I have TFV4's also but they are finicky to rewick but once you get the hang its a good atty that goes through juice like crazy.

Welcome back! Yes there is so much to catch up on, I was off ECF for about 3 yrs, still vaped tho, but came back just in time to get stocked for the FDA new regs. Three main items to stock up on are Nic base, several replaceable battery mods, rebuildable tanks/atties. Good luck!

Welcome back! And stock up!

Thanks all.
I did the survey, searched the net and signed petitions and more.

I went back to the vape shop and bought the wife a Smok H Priv Kit.
I grabbed me another tank, Arctic V8. I also grabbed a few dozen coils for the family not to mention a ton of juice.

I need to get several RTA style tanks. I use to rebuild, it was a pain, but I noticed that the rebuildable market has come a long way.
Where's a good place to get large bottles of unflavored nic?
I also need to research the rebuild market.
Thanks
