You know the ones I'm talking about, the ones when no matter what you do you can't get a satisfying vape from any of your gear with any of your juices.
I have only been off the analogs for about six weeks now, was a two pack a day smoker and started thirty years ago. My vaping journey has been extremely rewarding so far and didn't hit any snags until the last few days. Started with an Evod kit with an extra tank and some good juice (Boba's Bounty and Havana gold), then bought a Vamo V4 with some good batteries and a charger along with a Protank 3 and a couple Protank Mini 2s. Ended up with a EHPro EA Mod and a Scar RDA, learned how to build coils and use various wicks including cotton ball. Added a few new juices to the lineup and everything was good for a few weeks.
What happened next may be an experience many have had. I bought another clone mech mod, this time the much talked about Nemesis which has been disappointing for various reasons but mainly it just takes too much messing around with. Looks good, vapes well, just sort of a pain. Bought the AGI RDA and love it in dripper mode, haven't tried it in tank mode yet. Then I bought and just received the Trident close many suggest and honestly disappointed. Received the also highly sought after Aspire Nautilus the other day and still not thrilled with that (worked great for half a day, then got dry hits, burned hits, no flavor, etc. so switched to a new coil and working better but still sort of ...eh).
On top of all of this I had a bunch of juices I was really enjoying, ran low so ordered more, and now it somehow just isn't the same. I keep looking at all the gear and bottles I have collected asking "can't we all just get along"?
Did I go too fast? Did I overreach? Is this common?
I find myself wondering why I feel like I'm on the hunt for the Great White Whale here, always feel like there is a better tank, a better atty, a better dripper, a better coil, a better way to wick, a better mod...on and on it goes. When I smoked I never thought "hey, today I feel like something completely different. Who makes a great mellon flavored cig?" Now I'm constantly searching and lately have picked up some dogs in all areas.
Venting, yes. Giving up, no way. Happy to be off the cig, HELL yes!
Any advice from those that have been at this a while? Do tell and thanks in advance.

Most of the time I stick to plain Boge 3.0 ohm cartomizers and all is well. I've tried dripping, clearos, cartomizer tanks, and just have stuck with cartomizers. If it goes bad or pisses me of I toss it and fill a new one. Usually I get a week or two out of one. That's on a 7-15 mL of e liquid a day consumption. Meh to each their own though, and I do realize cartomizers can annoy folks. Topping off and what not. DIY-ing my own e liquid has really cut back on frustrations as well. It's cheaper and I can make exactly what I want. Anyhoo, I am glad you're not giving up. Find something you like and stick with it. Hopefully things will get easier for you
