First, let me say that I have been only been vaping since Thanksgiving - so not quite 2 months. I'm pretty new to all this, and my thanks go out to all of you who have advised me through this.
I decided to try the 3.5 ml Dual Coil Tank after SnowDragon and Morandir's reviews and excitement about it. I've come to trust their wisdom and experience, and for 10 bucks, figured it would be worth a try.
I have to admit, for a noob, the tank was a bit intimidating. I kind of looked at it thought, I'm supposed to fill this and NOT get juice everywhere? Yeah, right. I watched SnowDragon's video again and proceeded to carefully, carefully - pretty much get juice everywhere. Hey! It was my first time. Maybe next time will go better. I do suggest that if you have never worked with a tank before you fill it over the sink the first couple of times. I did, and I'm glad I did, as it made cleanup much easier. After filling and pushing the carto back into place, I was careful to wipe everything down, and make sure I could see through the carto (I couldn't, and had to lookup Snow's advice on how to fix that).
Having filled (sort of) the tank with my favorite Dunhall, at 11 mg today, I then I got my favorite King Diamond XL Manual, screwed the tank on, took a long, slow draw on the tank. OMG this thing is awesome! Dunhall on the 3.5 ml tank has flavor I had never discovered before! And some amazing throat hit. Clouds of vapor, awesome taste, excellent mouth feel, and some much needed throat hit to go along with it. I need a dozen more of these things! I honestly cannot describe the difference in using this, and using a regular cool cart. The juice just seems to have so much more from this carto and tank. I can't wait to get more of them and try more flavors!
Now, a couple of noob things - my tank continues to leak. It's leaked on my hands, on my battery, on the table when I set it down, etc. I'll have to watch Snow's video again, and re-read his post about leaky tanks (again) and see if I can resolve that. It also seems to be going through an awful lot of juice. I don't know how much has just been leaked out, and how much has been vaped up, but I didn't think I was hitting it that much, and I'm almost ready for a refill. I'll have to pay attention and see if I go through juice faster on this. I'm guessing yes, what with the dual coils and all. I also haven't been able to get it to work on my passthrough, which I have plugged into a V4L adapter plugged directly into the wall. I don't know if it is not making good contact, or not providing enough amperage. I don't have problems with the passthrough with any other carto, and I haven't had problems with the tank on any of my Diamond or Stealth batteries, so I'm guessing it is specifically the Tank on the passthrough. I have another passthrough at work, and will try that tomorrow.
Battery charge life definitely takes a hit with this thing. I have NOT been chain vaping, and I can already tell that my KD XL is getting close to needing a charge, where one XL usually lasts from the time I get home, until I go to bed.
It also remains to be seen if I get as much flavor / feel / throat hit first thing in the morning. I always have trouble getting good TH in the morning, so I'm hopeful, and will let you all know what I find tomorrow. Hopefully, I can also learn how to use / fill the tank without making a mess.
Bottom line, though, is that this thing has been so good tonight, I'm already on my way to V4L to order some more!
Special thanks to SnowDragon and Morandir, without whom I would not have tried this, and would have no idea how to operate it! Thanks for all you do for this forum and users on it.
