Best upgrade?

[Hogwart]

I am still really new to this and purchased the Inferno 11 days ago. While I have only had 5 or 6 cigs in this time. I just don't quite feel that this set up is working as well as it could be or maybe as well as a different PV would. Some hits off of it are great while some are seriously lacking. Very inconsistent with the amounts of vapor, TH, and flavor. I have 3 of these kits here and they all seem to be just unpredictable as the next.
I bought a ton of diff flavors and have them in 16mg, 18mg and 24mg levels, also in 80/20 and 70/30 mixes. Is it just me being a total noob or is it just this type of PV where there is no consistency?
I do like the almost no hassle of this set up. Just fill up a few tanks and leave for the day. recharge when I get home.
Would I benefit more from some of these mods I see here? Like one with the little juice bottle built into it. Or maybe a higher volt one that I see on here. If so Is there could someone please help me narrow it down to a very good one that has the same type of ease of use?
I've been going through these forums for hours now and am kind of lost with all the different stuff, Carts, mods, dripping, volts, etc. I would just like something that performs well and doesn't seem to change with each hit.

Hello and welcome. don;t think its the pv....it is the difference in juice. Have you tried the same juice on each different battery using the same atty and cart or carto?

yup, mods mods, and more mods, there are some that just vape great and blow plumes of vapor all day and you can vape like a locomotive all day long with them. Each one is a bit different but your bottom feeder juice box type mods really work well, check into the VV Ali'i and a Reo Grand for starters, they are self contained and house everything in the Mod, no carrying your juice bottles anymore with these Mods, just grab it and Go.!!!

Yeah I've put the same tank with the same juice in it in both the pass through batts and the 1000 mah batt, and they both will do the same thing. A lot of times there doesn't seem to be any flavor and a lot of times there is a serious degrease in vapor. I have read some other posts on here saying that with this PV the flavor is muted, or rather the egoT, which is the same I think.
Since this is really the first PV for me I don't have a comparison to go off of, i just know that the flavor seems to vary greatly along with the vapor.

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

Also, I forgot. If it is a tank that has been used for a while, you may need to l clean it out. Nothing lasts forever unfortunely. Try removing your tank and re-insert it at a different position. I do that sometimes when it seems to lack juice.

be careful from this point on...always good to solicit advice... because there is just too much out there for you to get in this short of a time.

while it's good to get the "best", there is a lot "the best according to me" in most things no?

I think the Iferno is a good middle of the road device from what i've heard...sort of an eGo clone and can be "great" within its range of performance if the atty specs are right for your tastes, (anywhere from 1.5 Ohm to 2.5 Ohm - the lower the resistance, the hotter the vape).
Juice is a factor too. but i think it could be more of possibly too many drops or too little... should be about 2 to 4 drips.

You 've got a lot of research to do if you want to understand the range of devices available. but for now, see if you can't get the best out of the Inferno while you're at it.

oops, i see you're using tanks.. that's another subject too... that others know better than me, but you might try dripping.

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

You might want to consider trying some cartomizers also. Any 510 connections will fit the inferno. And they don't costs as much as the tank systems do. Just a thought.

You best upgrades IMO are LR attys and standard and LR cartomizers

I love cartomizer - you don't have to add juice as often and the are pretty consistent. The the Boge soft-cap ones in standard and LR. You may have to remove the cone (Inferno's an Ego right?) or get a 510 extender to hold the atty above the cone.

yes, inferno is just a re-branded ego-t. Of the 3 ego-t atty's I bought the inferno is the only one that lasted reasonably well...and I use a clearomizer on the inferno battery, works great, but I sometimes use a LR atty and drip too. The batteries are great even though I never had much luck with the tanks

I think it might be the tank atty that causing the problems. Alot of ppl are either have bad flavor, not consistant, flooding issues, and etc w/ them. If you do not want to fix the wick on the tank atty, you might want to try a different set up w/ youir inferno batteries.

You can consider
510 LR or standard resistance atty (and get a 510 drip tip)
510 LR or standard resistance cartomizer (cartomizer = atty + cartridge)

I would suggest maybe to get 1 or 2 atties each, drip tip and a pack cartomizer to see how it works out for you first.

Since you do not like the hassle, I do not think you would want to mess w/ 510 cartridges. The drip tip replaces where the cartridge goes. Therefore you can directly drip to the atty. (You can only drip 2 - 3 drops per few puffs then drip again when it gets dry) This might be unconvinence but I think it's the best to try new flavors.

The cartomizer takes alittle more time to fill, but holds more juice then a cartridge. This is what I would normally do, grab a few filled cartos before I go out. So when it's starting to get dry, just swap a new carto. (Cartos are consider disposable, but can be refilled a couple of times, when you find the taste lacking and not giving you the satisfication even when a carto is completely fill, that might be a sign of throwing it out)

*You would normally refill the cartomizer w/ the same juice you had on it previously, or it might taste nasty. Therefore you might not want to try a new juice on a cartomizer, just for incase you dun like it. That the reason why I said to pic up a atty as well.

*Oh also you might want to directly drip on your tank atty. And see if you like it. Remove the tank that you put juice in, and use the mouthpiece that came w/ your tank atty. Take the mouthpiece off, and directly drip a few drops to the spike in the atty. Put back your mouth piece and vape. If it seems kinida dry, remove mouthpiece again and drip a few more. I think the tank atty can hold a few more drops then the regular 510 atty. But if your tank atty is already clog up, you might need a cleaning before you can have a good vape. You might want to try that and see if you like the flavor and th better like that first.

Volcano actually has the cisco 306 LR's and the 510 LR attys,
I would highly suggest trying those out with a drip tip before buying anything else device wise....the tank system is kind of hit or miss just going off of posts here and the one I have ...works... but kind of ...kills the flavor, it isn't great.

Today is the first time I've had any real issue with my ego t had some major messing around to do but got it ok. I've found when my taste starts to lessen if I take the tank off on press power button and take a real good pull or two or three just until the flow gets easier and the taste gets back basically just treating the atomizer like I'm dripping without putting any drips in it seems the flavor diminishes if the atomizer is getting flooded

 

[V_Joe1981]

I highly recommend the LR 306's...they're great atties and haven't steered me wrong yet! I would also get some LR or standard cartos as well with the soft tip. You can get the soft tip off with a fork and put on a 510 drip tip on them.

I had such a hard time with the tanks and was looking through you tube videos and saw the 306 atties and went to dig deeper....so glad I did! A great upgrade from the ego IMO would be a mod that takes 14500-18650(the bigger the mAh the longer the battery will last from what i get out of it) batteries and of course a great site to look up mods is GrimmGreenIndustries he also lists some great vendors as well.

also Avid Vaper has the Cisco 2.0 LRs both 510 and 306... if the standard 1.5 is too hot, the 2.0 could be just the ticket!

dripping is the Ultimate vape... you just have to put the right amount of juice... 2 to 4 drops; granted you have the right atty and resistance for your taste.

 

[dspin]

I agree w/this posting. Dripping to me is the best of all. Attys vary alot too depending on manufacturer.

ditto above--your problem is the tank atomizer design. Just not consistent--i'm thinking a reo mod or ali but they aren't readily available. if you haven't tried dripping definitely do. It is what i always fall back on when sick of syringing into a carto, fiddling with a tank, refilling a cart almost as often as if i were dripping but a lot messier.
buy a drip tip ($2-$5) not an upgrade but a must have for any serious vaper.

 

[mlinky]

If you are ready for an upgrade, it doesn't get any easier or more consistent than a REO.

feed systems aside, the eGo or clones are a decent power source... always have been, for their range of power. I have heard anywhere from 3.1 true voltage to 3.4 (?)... they are part of a huge group loosely labeled as "3.7" pv's for some reason, although not true 3.7 power.

Unless you have a "smart" generation pv, which is "managed power", which controls the power consistently to the atty and in variable voltages (from $100 to close to $300) you will get something in the range of 3.1 to say maybe 3.7 true voltage, or 5 or 6v for stacked high volt vaping...
Some 3.7's can have stacked 3.0v batteries for higher voltage vaping.
In either the power to the atty can fluctuate during the charge cycle of the battery.
And with the HV (hi voltage) you will want to raise the resistance of the atty to handle that power.

Some variable voltage units don't have that managed power technology, but will lower of raise the power given battery charge and other factors.

The boxes with bottles of juice that are fed to the atty are called "bottom feeders".
Some are 3.7 and stackable for HV 5 or 6 v... some are variable, but none up to date have "smart" capacities.

No matter which you have, It's all about adjusting power to the resistance spec of the particular atty to get the right heat/power to the particular atty.
With the state of the art PV's like the Provari, Darwin, Infinity you have the highest level, to date, of potential to maximize your vape given any atty.

But again, the eGo type will do it's best within its range.... and though limited, it can be darn good once you get the components (battery power/ atty) working in harmony.

If you like the ease of tanks, dripping is an upgrade option for getting the most vapor and flavor but it requires a little bit more work(carrying a juice and dripping every few pulls ) these are all great suggestions but the easiest option among these is a low resistance atomizer or cartomizer 1.5 -2ohm. By lowering the resistance you will turn up the wattage with out having to turn up the volts(more vapor more flavor).

Like these guys say the tank system still has some kinks to work out.

Also I noticed you said you charge the batt when you get home.The Inferno can last past a work day depending on how heavy you vape.If the battery isn't fully drained when you charge you may run the risk of not getting the most out of battery after a while(power dropping off quicker)If your not already,wait till the battery blinks to charge for best results and longer battery durability.

Good luck!

Let us know how you made out.
