I have RDAs I like better for certain flavour profiles. But overall, it handles all the flavours well and is IMO the best all rounder. Especially if you find the kind of build you like.

I've used it on an anemic single 18650 20A squonker, a punchy 20700 regulated squonker, and dual battery squonker in the 100Ws. In power and TC. It'll work on anything with an appropriate build.

Thanks, you've definitely given me something to research, it looks like it just might be my next step to try other vape styles out with one product. I like it so far :)

If you want to try a rebuildable, the Wotofo Serpent SMM and the Geekvape Zeus are readily available everywhere. Get a pack of premade coils (although I recommend the coils that come with the tanks) and you'll be great with them.
Another great tank that is easy to build is the Augvape Intake.

Che, en serio, tienen mas variedad que nosotros. No consigo el Intake, no se si pasa por Mercosur.


"Franco Vapers VAPE WORLD PERU" - Il y a une communauté de vape francophone au Pérou? Tu parles français Susaz?

Sort of... But the page is in Spanish, maybe you're watching it in french, check your settings.
I haven't spoken french in twenty something years!

That's so weird. I guess it's taking from my FB settings. This is what I see:

I used to work at Air France and we handled North + South America. We had a lot of French clients working in South America, so a community wouldn't surprise me; but a french vaping community in Peru seems super niche. I imagine the group consisting 2 members: a gaucho with a parisian striped turtleneck and la llama que llama answering him in French.

time to try something different...
it could be the tank is defected
or again it could be the juice
me personally I never had any luck with tanks (it seemed they always leaked on me no matter what I did) so I went into dripping instead and never looked back
unfortunately vaping is a lot of hit and miss until you find something that works for you
and there are a lot of duds out there as well
I'd suggest looking online and buying a variety of cheap atties to find something that works for you....this way you get an idea of what you like and don't like without spending a lot of money

if you like the higher watts and sweeter juices I'd really suggest an rda instead of a tank....though the coils will still gunk up, it'll be easier to clean the coils out and replace (as well as getting prebuild coils to install are a lot cheaper than drop-in coils)
if you are wanting to stick with a tank, the only one I can recommend is the areo mesh subohm tank from geekvape it's the only one i've had so far that hasn't leaked (though the top cap gets stuck sometimes) and it uses mesh coils so the flavor is better

I’m this close to giving up on vaping -_- I got a new coil, it’s 0.15ohm. I prepped well, started at 28w and apparently it’s burnt already ;_;
Maybe vaping is not meant for me :(
Sorry to hear that. :( But don't give up on vaping, please. Most of us here have tried different gear with unsatisfying results. There's a reason why there are so many mods and tanks on the market. It's because no single mod or tank works for everyone.

I assume you're using the Gnome tank? I know nothing of that tank, so I can't help with a solution. All that I can say is that I've tried number of different tanks with disappointing results. Most of the time it was the coils used in the tank. Like I said before, I prefer vaping at 30 watts or lower. The vast majority of tanks nowadays use coils that require over 30 watts, so by that fact alone I'm not likely going to like those tanks.

For example, I'm a reviewer for Geekvape. My Geekvape Aegis mod came with the Aero Mesh tank. I loved everything about the tank, but hated the selection of coils it used. They all required wattage setting over 40 watts, and everything I tried resulted in a hot, harsh vape. In my review, I complained that Geekvape didn't make any coils for someone who vapes in the wattage range I prefer. The mod and the tank went to my son after the review was done.

It's time to try a different tank and coils, young lady. ;)

Te mando un poquito de esperanza…read my stuff. Get yourself a single coil RDA. Folks will help here pick one out. Learn to build a simple single at a temp (watts) that best suits where you're comfortable. You'll find it in no time if you do it yourself. Then you can migrate to duals and apply this in tanks. Not downing pre-made. They'll always be available for emergencies but no one's going to produce one that suits your preferences. What are they exactly? Shouldn't you know first? Your time is better spent finding out what you like before losing heart.

It's not the hardware, it's the wind.

Thank you guys for giving me hope in times of despair ;_; I think it’s just that the first few puffs off a new coil are just really bad. I kept trying it out a bit more up to 45w and it tasted and felt a lot better. I’m off to work and since I’m a teacher I don’t even bother on bringing it to work, so I’ll have to continue testing tonight. Also, I think that strawberry and cream liquid is just really bad.

This weekend I’ll spend some time at my favorite vape shop where I can try out juices and tanks. Hopefully they’ll be able to help me... but probably not as much as you ALL have!
