Hi,
I am pretty new to vaping with very little experience. I've used the Ego T & C and one 3.5ml tank with DC cartomizer from TW which I use on my Ego battery. I am just about to get my hands on a new Provari V2 and I am looking for a good cartomizer/tank combo.
I thought it would help if I first told you a bit about my self. I live in London, UK. I don't vape much. I get trough about 1ml of juice a day. I mainly vape in the evening in the comfort of our home. I like to have a vape when out and about too but I don't see my self taking the larger Provari with me just because of its size. I understand this view might change once I get to try the better PV. We shall see.
Now, I've been going in circles for past few days. And to be perfectly honest, I feel utterly confused. I simply do not know where to begin. I've read countless forum posts, searched numerous UK & US based online stores and when I almost feel ready to make a decision I find yet other thing which does change my plans.
So far, I think I have been able to establish that I should get some smaller sized 3ml tanks since I don't vape much. I'd be willing to get larger 5ml tanks if it makes a difference to my vaping experience. The current tank I have seems to work ok with the ego battery and I only expect it to get better on the more powerful device. It seems to have no faults as such. It has nice stainless steel caps and it seals well too. the only thing I can't get over is the cheap plastic tube forming the tank. That is just a pure s**t. I have my eyes set on Phiniac tanks. They are awesome and exactly what I wish for design wise. But, with the stainless steel upgrade caps they don't come cheap and being from the UK they take a while to arrive. I need my tanks now and not in three weeks time. I know that I will certainly order some in the future once I'll have worked out what I am just about to ask for your help with here.
So, how does the combo I'm searching for look like? Well, it is simple. It is about 3ml in capacity with stainless steel caps, clear tube made out of a decent material and it holds well together.
Let's move on. I fully appreciate that the tank it self is only what it is, a tank. I see the importance of the build quality too. But, I know that the most important part is the cartomizer. It is after all what produces the vapour we all like to enjoy.
This is where the actual question comes in. Working with the aim of 3ml tank, what sort of cartomizer do I need? I was going to order some but there are standard sized, XL sized and whatever else sized cartomizer to choose from. This is what confuses me the most. Is there a size guide I could look at which would clearly show what size of cartomizers is required for what tank systems? I don't want to limit my self to 3ml only. I would like to get my head around the whole thing. There seem to be almost no information regarding the size requirements on the online stores. So how is it that, I, a new guy to vaping, am suppose to work this all out?
I also like to understand what kind of cartomizer to get after the size is worked out. Is it going to be a low, standard or high resistance one? I can almost see this after doing all my reaserch. I reckon that I should be looking for a standard/high resistance cartomizer with some 2.5-3.5ohms in resistance. However, I can not understand how it makes a difference. Isn't it all about the actual power output in the end? I mean how is it different to run the PV at 10W for example with a low resistance cartomizer at a lower voltage to running a higher resistance cartomizer at a higher voltage achieving the same 10W? With Provari V2's 3.5A current limit I can see one being able to work with any resistance cartomizer achieving almost any reasonable power output. So, which one is better and most importantly why?
I found the the Boge & Smoketech cartomizers highly recommended and I guess it should be some of those I'll end up with. I fully appreciate that vaping is such a personal and individual thing that there are no hard rules. I am looking for a general direction rather than anything else. I even plan on getting a few different types of cartomizers to try.
I apologise for such a long post and I thank you for sticking with me. Would you please help me to a better vaping experience by answering my questions and perhaps making some recommendations as for what and where to look? Please remember that I am I the UK, so, UK based suppliers will make all the difference.
Many thanks and happy vaping.
