I guess I was just wondering if there are others who are tired of the juice battles, especially when flying a lot? I've been a member of this forum since 2009 and vaping - and quit smoking - for over 5 years.
This is going to sound strange, but I've gone back to 808 cigalikes for work and travel. They're much better than before, and I was getting sick of all the leaking on airplanes, including international flights. Have some small 808s with a few batteries with no lights, and I'm pretty good to go. (I reload my carts every couple weeks or so, so it's pretty inexpensive.)
At home I use low nic liquid with Spinner Twists, as well as an itaste VV V3 that also lets me check resistance so I know what's a good level to set on the twists. Over the years I have used all kinds of set ups; tanks, cartos, etc., but leaking while traveling was a mess. Now, no liquids or cartos or clearos to worry about when on the road.
Have been using the Aspire ET BDC glassomizers, which I really like. I've never gone for mods, etc., just because of the sensitivity for my wife, kids, and now, grandkids. Didn't want to frighten them! Even my Ego styles are limited to 650mah. I have a 900, but it's just too long, so it sits in a drawer. Might load up an ET that holds about 3ml, and use the 900 when I have a long drive. The Itaste VV V3 is the longest battery I have, but it's nice (800mah) also in the car on the road, can plug it into my USB and use it as a pass through, plus I like it for the ohm checker.
I know, I've gone back to the dark side, but I'm really much more relaxed with small shirt-pocket vapes that I can take anywhere for stealth vaping - and for leak-less vaping.
I have had good luck with White Cloud Cirrus 3 batteries, and the clear draw carts refill easily and put out decent vapor (and you can see the juice level) - and you can get them at 36mg, which is great on planes for a quick hit (They even have 54mg available, but I'm not going there!). The battery is only 57mm long, and lasts longer than most other short 67 mm batteries from others. The batteries have no light and are about cigaret length with cart. WC DOES NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS!!!! Can't be recharged by other chargers, and batteries and carts are NOT interchangeable with others. Same connection size, just different voltages.
V2 and Bull Smoke have decent batteries and carts. Only bought small and standard batteries. I have a three small Vapor4Life stealth batteries (200mah) with no lights - about same 67-68mm size as other short batteries, but their carts are really bad.. I do not recommend anything but their batteries. All carts and batteries are interchangeable with these 3 companies. Watch for the half price sales.. That's how I got my stock of carts, which I now refill.
Mig Cigs has the best battery out there - a 4.2 constant volt battery. But, their standard is 110mm long - too long for me to use anywhere but at home. All other carts, except White Cloud which does weird things, work on Mig Cigs. And Mig Cigs only has manual batteries. I have found the auto batteries easiest to use for 808s. I charge the Mig Cigs only on their USB charger.
I didn't even mess with a PCC, since it's just one more thing to charge, and you can get three batteries for the price of a PCC.
I use 24-28mg juice in the 808s because I seldom get long times to vape. At home I use 6-8mg juice. The Apires and VVs kick out much more vapor, so I've really dropped the nic level.
In the photo below, it shows the Mig Cigs standard battery, V2 standard battery, Bull Smoke shorty, and White Cloud Cirrus 3. You can get a pretty good idea if size. I only use the shorty and Cirrus 3 batteries at work, shopping and on airplanes. Hope this carries some info that's of value, even when the general trend right now is to bigger mods and clouds of vapor. I'm enjoying this new season. Seems like after 5 years of vaping, I'm back full circle.
