Hi you asked how do we vape? Well, I can tell you how I vape. I solely use either a RBA or a RDA the initials stand for rebuildable tank atomizer and rebuildable dripping Atomizer. They are usually glass tanks for juice with build decks where we put the coils we build on them then wick them with desired wicking media. I wick everything with organic unbleached cotton. In my opinion rebuildables have the best flavor! With some tanks the flavor is so defined it's like when you vape, you have just eaten a candy! Usually they say "once you try a RBA you will never go back to anything else" it was true for me. Also with the RBA I didn't get that l leaking or mess I got with the other tanks I'd used. The coils I made lasted a whole lot longer then the premade coils and the wire to make them is so much cheaper than buying the premade coils. The unit I use to vape on is a regulated box mod. It's one of the newer type with less restrictions. What I mean is it allows me to sub ohm vape down to .1 (sub ohm is when your coils resistance is under 1.0 ohms) it does not cut off like the older mods would have. It has a computer chip inside that adjusts the battery voltage to the watts I desire. My unit goes from 7 watts to 150 watts in one point increments. I get great battery life as my unit lasts three full days without needing a charge. It runs on two 18650 batteries. My unit is the ipv3 150 watt. As far as juice is concerned, I like to make my own ejuice although I also buy a few a month as well.. so that is how I vape. :)

How long do the air head's tend to last on the GS Air?

I have to answer in vague terms, depends on your juice.
Very sweet and heavy will clog the coils faster. Many folks have stated that they have gone two weeks
without a reduction in performance. I personally never saw a reduction in vapor or taste until I decided to rebuild them.

    Currently I have a bunch of $6 tanks filled with various flavors that I can switch whenever I want. I really like this, however having a collection of $30+ tanks is just not viable for me.

    I'm also a fan of the mini-tasting-bar approach. What I have found is different juices work differently in different devices. My experience points out the cheapest tank can be amazing with certain juices, and in that case I have found nothing better with that juice. More are no doubt better on more expensive devices. It may be necessary to keep it fairly cheap at first, but there is no reason to try to be consistent, for example to put different flavors on equal ground, because that actually still isn't. One reason for cost can be aesthetics, it's not all functionality you're paying for. But then, some device looks may seem more appropriate to certain juices also.

    I've had some great luck with some cheap devices. I have a $10 EVOD that's just starting to show signs of battery age after 10 months, and is still my #1 for pocket everywhere use. Several other plastic tanks met some harder to handle liquids and cracked however, and some other cheap batteries died.... My view is don't overpay -- easy to say and harder to do, of course. If you buy something cheap you still have money to buy something better, and if it was worth what you paid it still provides some backup or something for a different flavor. If you buy something expensive but really good that's fine too. But if you assume spending more is all it takes to get something good, you might get fleeced.

    That's why I am a fan of the GS Air, less than $10 a tank and the coils are less than $10 for five.
    Balancing out cost and performance the GS Air is a winner.
    I used Evods and Protanks for a long time and waited on an affordable tank system that would outdo
    them, the GS Air fit the bill.
    I recoil and keep a couple going so I can switch out flavors on the go like you, keeps me in vape nirvana!

    Thanks all, they were out of the bundle I posted and I had to purchase it sans ego adapter, I ordered a couple of the gs air tanks from another vendor at $12 a pop as per one of the other posts and emailed the vendor about adding an adapter to my order, thx again for all the feedback and help, I'll post a review when it arrives.

    You will need an adaptor for your old tanks, but your GS airs will be fine. I'm getting great coil life out of my factory coils. I am also saving them, so I can rebuild them with Cheechako's method (video in GS air thread). I need to save up for an ohm reader and need to get some non-woven gauze:)
