don't knock tanks, a good genesis with cotton wick can keep up with any dripper. And no, low resistance doesn't mean squat on a regulated. there its all about coil mass vs temperature. 1.7 to 2.5 is optimum on a provari, it allows the device to hit its wattage limit before hitting the amp or volt limit. Stock I recommend the kraken, though I had some killer results drilling out a steam turbine. My kraken is running a .55 dual right now, and will fog up my car cheech and chong style with 2-3 one second pulls



tell 'em bad

I can't find an original kraken, everywhere is sold out. are the clones any good?

Don't be put off by all the sub ohm elitism. Sub-ohm is great but it isn't for everyone, and isn't even necessary to produce huge clouds. YOU DO NOT NEED A MECH With a decent rebuildable atomizer and your provari, micro coiling will allow you to produce respectable clouds of cool flavorful vapor at safe resistances. Micro coils offer a larger surface area that heats quickly and with proper airflow will actually produce huge clouds of cooler, more flavorful vapor than any sub-ohm cloud chasing setup will produce. Find the user Rip Trippers on youtube and check out his Trident micro coil build video. Any cheap two or three post RDA/RBA clone will be fine to start with and should cost you under $20.

The Trident clone and the Nimbus clone are great RDA options. Oddy clone and Ithika clone are great RBAs but good RBAs get expensive fast. A good Russian clone can run upwards of $50. Just make sure to thoroughly clean what ever RDA/ RBA you get before you build it and read into atomizer airflow.

Yep, my favorite build is similar to what Piggy posted. These days I do about 8 coils of .8 kanthol ribbon @5/64 of an inch. Usually comes in at about 1.2 ohms after I torch it. I use far less cotton than in that video though, favoring extra air flow directly hitting the atty coils over less dripping. It all comes down to trial and error until you find something you like.

Don't know if im was being rolled into sub-ohm elitism club or not. Yes I said a lower resistance if more favorable for clouds, but I also said its not the only thing. With my set up's they hit best right around 1ohm. That's where I can still get good flavor and vapor production from my set up's. Mind you I don't and can't use high vg due to a intolerance. I'm usually the first one to vote against stupid sub-ohm builds.

I rather build something that has the power I like, flavor I like and a good vapor production. Rather then just be fogging up a room with wasted tasteless vapor.

A tank and a ProVari does not make clouds. You are looking for a mech mod and an RDA. I would highly suggest you refrain from cloud chasing at this point. Do some research on mech mods, batteries, battery safety, Ohm's Law and RDAs. Then consider cloud chasing. Clouds are not the end all of vaping. Quiting smoking is the point.

I had a similar experience when I started vaping, I felt that cloud chasing was the biggest reason to vape(how silly). I tinkered around 0.2 ohm and now converted to running single coils at 0.9-1.2 ohms. Flavor and density>clouds IMO.

I have an HCigar clone, and I love it. Plus I didn't feel bad taking a torch to it, nor will I feel bad taking a drill to it when the time comes. I wouldn't dream of doing that to an authentic
