Hi ucool, want a piece of unsolicited advice? Learn how to use what you already have properly before getting more stuff. There is a bit of a learning curve with all that gear and it takes some time to get comfortable with vaping. Once you've mastered one device, you can try another. Everything changes so quickly in the beautiful world of vaping that it's not worth getting too much stuff all at once. Read reviews, educate yourself and never buy the first version of anything--V1 is really a beta version. Everything gets tweaked and improved eventually. We're all beta testers for all the new technology. So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. :)



Welcome to ECF!

It could be I misunderstood what you meant

Oh, I agree with the sentiment. The problem is that it's so hard to know what we really need--when it comes to vaping. I've been doing it for over 4 years and I'm always looking for new toys! :blush: It's fun!
Yes it is fun, and I have had to Exercise serious restraint, To keep from buying all the goodies I've read about on here

Welcome to ECF!

OK I know and thank you for your advice :), I maybe hold the IBTanked and educate myself on rebuild protank coil first then carto later on.
I wanna try carto because 1 I don't want to dip all day since I work on computer all day long and from what I read so far carto provide better vaping experience than clearo so maybe I'll be there later.

My next in list are;

2-3 IBTanked

Diver V2 or Killer 705 (any advice?)
(rebuilding supplies is on the way lol)
Pro ring? How to change it? where to buy it? (any advice?)

Then that should be cover most of everything
Right now I have 4 ego batt, 3 iClear 16, 2 Protank II mini, 1 Protank II
I did DIY eliquid since week 2nd of vaping lol so I found my sweet spot for now
It's easy for my because I smoke Marlboro Menthol Light for the past 12 years. So menthol ejuice only

Going from clearo to Killer?? While Killer is awesome, I wouldn't recommend that as first build. Space is tight and you will need to join resistance/no resistance wire. if you want to explore into rebuilding, try a simple RDA like IGO-L. Lots of space to build and can be very simple. Not to mention unreal vapor. You can test out different coil/wick setups and fine tune your resistance level. Once you feel comfortable, you can proceed with Killer or Sophia.
Since you already have coils and wicks, this route will only add $14. :)

Well, have you ever tried cartos? If you like cartos, you'll love carto tanks. But if you don't, you won't.

If you're just curious, you get a cheap (but very good) Boge carto tank, fully assembled, for $4 bucks. Just fill and vape. If you don't like it, throw it out. If you do, you can go ahead and get some IBTanked tanks. I have a Boge 15 and 16 carto tanks and I like them, but I prefer clearos--Kanger BCC and Aspire BDC. Just personal preference.

Carto will give you much better vapor. Once you get used to cartomizer tank, it is virtually maintenance free. Bottom coil design clearomizer can be a pain sometime. But I found clearomizer to have better flavor. Clearomizer and cartomizer are definitely different and worth trying them out. IBtanked with a good carto should give you a great experience. Lots of people like Ikenvape and boge cartos.
BTW, 22mm IBTanked with Pro ring on ProVari mini looks very nice. :D

Killer, on the other hand, isn't cartomizer. It is RBA in a carto tank. There are no fillers and uses RBA atomizer head design (coil/wick). Obviously this hits very different from cartomizer.

I am kind of new to this but, I have some, different clearomizers, kanger Protank 2, mini 2, Smoktech RBC etc, but I Really like the Smoktech ARO Pyrex eGo BBC, Despite the fact is hard to see the liquid level
Smoktech ARO Pyrex Glass eGo BCC

Oh yeah, That why my 2nd purchased was PT 2 adn PT2 mini, coz the clear look of liquid level.

I would actually recommend going straight to IBtanked. here is my logic.
If you end up liking cartomizer, you would want to upgrade the tank and IBtanked is a good choice.
If you end up not liking cartomizer and wanting to try Killer, you can still use IBtanked (22mm) and just get killer tube.
If you end up not liking them at all, you would have spent $19 more. However, chance of you not liking carto is slim. :p
Just something to consider.
