I wanted to show you what I use Steve but my computer won't let me. It is basically boring anyways.
Bernard, I used the ego-t for 4 months. I did manage to quit smoking.
I had to go to RTAs
. I'm mathematical, mechanical and artistic. I vape not to smoke. I build to make my soul happy. Getting a new atty, studying the deck, and creating a build is my idea of Disneyland these days.

I would prefer a simple design if it fit my needs. But I lung hit, so I need airflow. I don't want to buy coils, so I use an rta. I need power to power the rta, so I have a bigger battery. It's not about cloud chasing or competing with anyone or blowing the biggest smoke.. Its merely preference. You found yours and that's cool. Everyone is different.
Fx, it's quite simple. People have different preferences. 1.8 ohm might be great for you. Someone else might prefer .3. And that's OK.

I use even lower than that. I build to 1.5 ohm so i'm anywhere from 12-15 depending on the juice and tank I'm using.
If you subohm, you will use that kind of power. 150w devices fire as low as .1 ohm. I'm not offended, just trying to explain why people buy them.
To put it mathematically, volts x volts / ohm = watts
So if you take 3.7x3.7 /.1 = 137
You can go up or down depending on preference and juice.

Lol. I have a heat gun on the floor next to me... I don't think I'll try it though. I've used high wattage builds, but its not for me. I can't imagine smoking anything nicotine in one of those. I smoke more for flavor. I tried to like the subtank but it didn't do it for me in flavor. I play around with builds but usually revert to my normal coil builds.
Basically I took up vaping to replace smoking, and haven't had a smoke for1 1/2 years. I enjoy the flavors too. I rebuild my kanger coils, but not into RBAs. The only mod I have is a Evic not very powerful but long lasting. I get enough out of a 1.8 coil to satisfy me.
I quit smoking completely a few months ago, but have gradually upgraded. At this point I've actually dialed it back a bit so I think I found what I like, at least for now. Other people prefer bigger, so it really depends on the person. I could see subohming being preferred. But it wasn't for me. I have a dripper I never use, and a slew of ego tanks and smaller clearomizers. Mainly I use rtas now, the kayfun v4 and the taifun gt2. I find that they produce a nice smooth vape, and I can customize the build to my preferences. My friend next door to me just upgraded to a subtank and is now looking to upgrade his battery to a 50w or higher and experiment with lower resistance. He still smokes cigs and is still searching for his optimal setup.
Actually I was happy with my evod batteries and pt2, But I needed longer battery life. When I was very bored out in my shop watching a cnc run itself I would go through a lot of batteries. Switching and charging. So the Evic made that easier.
It's just that there's not much to discuss so they don't post.
Exactly! Whatever you hear the most about IS NOT what works the best. What works best stops being talked about because there's just no need to.
No, not at all. Your a simple fellow who likes to hang out quietly in the back of the class, not really engaging at the deepest levels but appreciating the simple benefits. Or maybe you are just a Presbyterian.
More isn't better if what you have is *working* for you.
I like the 650 size batts, they are so transportable.
The other thing is that while people are spending a gazillion $$ on newer stuff, the older stuff has become dirt cheap, and I've picked up quite a few great things lately online that is almost ridiculously cheap that I love using
There are still people here who use cig a likes as well. It's just that there's not much to discuss so they don't post.
Yeah, the 650's with small tanks just fit in my pockets. I don't even bother to turn them off unless I'm wearing jeans.
When I bought premixed juice the vv batts were great. When I started mixing my own I tested it with a cheap standard voltage batt, and then found out I was setting my vv's to 3.7v or so. What had been great was just bigger and more expensive. I've found out over time that with any kind of technology, staying a year or so behind the curve has huge benefits. Prices go down, bugs get fixed, and so often what is hailed as the product of the year turns out to be the lemon of the decade.
The gear I'm using now, when I hear that crunching sound as I pull out of my driveway and realize that I've just run over the rig that was in almost in my pocket, or the cracking sound when a cat bats one off the shelf onto the tile, its an annoyance, not a tragedy.
Yeah, if it just works, what's to discuss? Except it took me a long time and a lot of trial and error and money to find out what I really need and don't need. I appeciate the irony of being back to what is essentially my first eGo starter kit only with a bottom coil instead of the old CE4.
Much credit to the DIY forum for de-mystifying mixing my own juice.
Well, obviously Bernard got himself in trouble last night. I was going to offer him some ego-t items (free). If anyone else wants them, PM me. They will just sit in a cupboard here. I have a ton of those cartridge tips and maybe an atomizer or two. I'll cover shipping since this is a donation, not a sale.
