Hi i have an Reuleaux rx200 and a Smok Cloud Beast, but the Cloud beast is not working out for me and i need to scale back down(as mentioned in my other thread).

I also have a joyetech eVic-VTC Mini kit, but i feel that the vape is too weak for me, i am using a tianium coil. And i use a vg nicotine with flavours.

I have been looking at the baby beast, but my fear is that it comes with some of the same problems that i experienced with the beast, as it gets too hot and is harsh.

I like the reuleaux in it self, more then the mini, which is good when going out but a bit limited on battery life.

So whats good in between these, thats fairly easy to use, have great taste and good size vape ?

I have an RX200S and you can put just about any tank you want on it. I mainly use Nautilus Minis but also have the Kangertech Pangu which is a Sub Ohm with SS316L coils at .5Ω. I use a Nautilus X in the mornings for my Bakery Vapes. I have a few others but these are the most used.

Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy you stay @AndersDk

As far as I am concerned, TC coils (including your Joyetech Ti coils) are a pointless vape experience.
TC just doesn't work as it should and most of the makes are just as bad as each other. Joyetech, Eleaf, Kanger... all stupid TC products that just don't work properly. You get an anemic vape, barely equal to 15-20w on a proper rebuildable kanthal atomizer.
(Sorry, but most of these products are rubbish)

At the other end of the spectrum, we have all these slightly unnecessary Smok coils.

If you put a good subohm tank (factory Kanthal coils) on the eVic mini VTC then 75w is more than enough.

The Uwell Crown (v.1) or Cleito are both capable tanks.

I am also quite surprised at your assessment of the Evic as limited on the battery life. Here again, if you were vaping a good tank at 30-40w and using a quality 18650, it's going to last plenty long enough.

If you aren't getting a good vape using TC Mode you must be doing something incorrect. TC to me is a perfect vape every time I get a smooth, cool vape with major clouds.

It's not a matter of using something incorrect, the vape on the Joyetech Ti/Ni coils (for the small tanks designed to go on the eVics) is terrible. That's presumably what the OP is using.

You said TC is pointless. If you can't get a good vape then there is something wrong.

Dc99, i will try to answer your questions as good as i can then :) I guess i expect something that has a decent cloud, is easy to use and where the taste comes thru.

I think i smoke my ecig alot like a cigarette, i dont take hits where i just continuously inhale, but puff on it for a second or two and then inhales it.

The best setting i found for my titanium coils where around 45 w at 440 farenheit

Forgive me. I was posting after a long day.
I have found that the Joyetech TC coils for the tanks like the Tron and Mega don't really work.

TC isn't pointless... no... I over-stated the issue but I do think a lot of these low-spec coils don't actually work close to how they should.

If @AndersDk is using the CL type Ti coils on the same combo as me (mini Evic and basic tank) then I am not surprised they are unsatisfying.

Apologies.

Hi Anders
Well you've got 2 nice mods in the rx200 and the Evic Mini. I like the latter one due to it's size and as DJS Vapour mentions 75 watts is more than plenty for most atty's. The Cloud Beast however and depending on which coil you are using would likely put it to the test and require the rx200 to power it properly. You don't mention which tank you're using with the Evic. I have a bunch of them all with the Tron S tanks and yes those do leave a bit to be desired as to their performance. As someone suggested to me though the rebuildable CL coils improve their performance immensely and they do, though there are still lots of better tanks out there. With the Cloud Beast you've gone to the other extreme and it is known for it's clouds and not it's flavor.
I like DJS's suggested Crown 1 tanks and have about 6 of them but again their rebuildable RBA coil makes them perform better than the store bought coils.
I'm also partial to the Wismec Theorem tanks. Easy to use and great little tanks for consistent flavor & clouds using their notched coils.

I agree and disagree with both replies on Ti TC. CL Ti suck, CL-R Ti with the way to much cotton removed and rewicked are great. The CL Ti have to small juice flow holes for thicker juice and CL-R Ti have to much cotton. If you rebuild I get CL-R Ti and when they are finished rebuild them with 26 awg SS 316L. My Tron with CLR Kanthal build is still the best tasting tank I own, not the best clouds but my SS 316L ain't here yet. Even if you don't rebuild I'd buy CL-R and a pack of cotton, look up scottish roll wicking method. The mods mentioned are bad at TC but that's just because they require 20-30° more then a proper TC mod. Not because they suck at TC IMO.

I messed about for some time with TC with my DNA200, dove in pretty deep and yes I was doing it right. IMO TC is way too much busy work for too little reward. I Vape SS in power mode and that gives me the most satisfying, flavorful and smoothest Vape. Most all with Vaping is subjective, it's what ever works for you.

Now back to the OP, for a Tank I would recommend either the Crown v1 or the Cleito and it should work well with your style of Vaping. For a subohm Tank with factory coils I still think the Crown v1 is the best out there. Cleito is a decent Tank with a great RBA deck, but I'm still very partial to the Crown v1.

Well by your explanation above & the way you vape your setup is not the ideal choice . Typically sub ohm tanks are not for the "puff puff" type of vaper , they are for deeper inhales which you say you don't do .

Now, there's a thought. I am up for that.
I'll find all those barely-functional, too-much-cotton Ti coils and give it another go.
Thanks for the tip! :)
For sure, the CL-R has a huge cult following on here. Both coils suck as-is IMO but rewicked the CL-R are great. Rebuilt with SS 316L they are even better I have heard. I have Nichrome coming as well to try, should up the vapor production a little without raising the watts like SS 316L requires. I suggested the same thing to a guy who had a ton of Tron's he didn't use anymore, tried 1 and ordered like 10 more packs lol. The insulaters rip easy with 26 awg so make sure you lube them a little and don't force in the center pin.

Oh it was smoke_too_much lol. "You don't mention which tank you're using with the Evic. I have a bunch of them all with the Tron S tanks and yes those do leave a bit to be desired as to their performance. As someone (Me) suggested to me though the rebuildable CL coils improve their performance immensely and they do." I was hugely disappointed with my Tron till I tried the CL-R myself.

I would suggest the "tootle puffer" thread on here. It pretty much deals with your type of vaping. Other than that the eleaf melo2 tank is good and takes numerous different coils. The joytech ultimo would work fine also.

Sorry for going off topic with the CL-R coils lol. I notice alot of people that vape these giant watt tank like the TFV8 tend to take much shorter puffs then something like a Ti. So before buying new stuff you could try that or to up the °F on Ti to 450-520°F or lower the watts on the beast tank, not sure which coil your using but you can usually go much lower then the "recommended / best" ratings on them. As for tanks do you MTL or DTL? Sounds like you MTL in 2nd post in which case you'd probably be better off with the 1 Ohm CL-R's and a pack of cotton. Do you have air flow almost closed off on Ti? If so the 1 Ohm is tighter draw on the coil so you'll have more control over the air flow then just almost closed off. Closing off air flow on these giant tanks (TFV8) really suffocates the coils, the more you can get coming in from the base the less harsh it'll be. You can also ip your vapor production by using higher VG, usually anything over 80VG gets muted but it really depends what concentrate they use, most require 15-20% so the only way to make 90-Max VG is by removing flavour but some only need 3%-5%. They really shouldn't even offer anything over 80VG if they dont use super concentrate or VG flavours IMO.
