I'm new too. stopped smoking 2 months ago after discovering vaping. have you considered using a tank instead? I use the aspire nautilus tank with bvc coils and it's great. no leaking, no gurgling, etc. previously I tried a nimbus dripper and it was not good. tried kanger tanks, they suck. vivi nova ok but once I tried the nautilus I don't think I'll use anything else on a daily basis. I'm using it on an itaste MVP at the max 11 volts with an ry4 tobacco and it's friggin ridiculously good. when guys like Grimm Green and Rip Trippers say this tank is good you can believe it
