Expanding my existing kit. Buy another kit? Just new batts? Or what?

[thatwierdguy]

Forgive me if this is a redundant thread, but a search here didn't seem to find such a question, not in these words anyway. So, I got a EVOD kit, and I like it. However, now I'm like "ok, I've got 5 clearomizers going, I could use at least 2 or 3 more and I've got only 2 batteries with one charger". So, like the title says, I'd like to have at least 2 more batts, at least one more charger, and probably at least 2 more glass tanks. I see no need for more than 2 plastic tanks, I already have the 2 EVOD tanks that came with the kit, they perform well, but I'm more comfortable with glass- it's just how I am. You can see my predicament, yes? Thinking it could be nice to have something in the range of 900-1100mah, perhaps VV, but I'm not sure if that's necessary. Having a pass through sounds unnecessary to me, and I wouldn't pay extra for it. Also maybe to have batts that are a bit thicker than the EVODS, as opposed to being longer, but that's not super- important. Been thinking about a couple of Visions perhaps, maybe joye's or even no-name or re-branded batts, as long as they will hold up as well and last as long, which are the really important factors. Looked at the Max-V(?), and remember that a place or two had some customizable ego- type kits. Also, am drawn to the idea of a one- stop- shop where I can find a nice l'ill e-liquid sampler to add to the same package, but I'll search for that on this site anyways. Any suggestions appreciated and have a good day/evening all

I would suggest getting at least one twist type battery, such as a vision spinner, smok winder, or eGo twist. I know you can get the spinner in 1300mah. That way you can get a taste of VV, without getting too deep.

As for glass tanks, the Kanger Protank Mini II's are nice on eGo style batteries. You can buy replacement coil heads that also fit your evods. Those heads are also a good place to experiment with rebuilding coils too, should you ever decide to try your hand at that.

As for sampler packs, skip them, and go straight to Mount Baker Vapor. You can buy a similar number of flavors as a standard sample pack, for about the same price, but in 15ml bottles, instead of 5ml bottles. At $4.99 a bottle, you can buy 5 bottles, use the coupon code vaporfrombaker for 10% off, and since your order is over $15, they'll send you a 15ml free sample. That's 6 15ml flavors for the price of a normal sample pack. Probably a bit less, with the coupon.

A VV eGo type battery will give you a better taste as you can adjust it according to the ohms of your coils and not all flavors taste the same at the same setting. I have 2 1300mAh Smok Tech Winders, 1 1300 mAh Vision Spinner, all 3 are VV. The Winders are fatter while the Spinner is thinner and longer. I would not suggest no-name eGo type batteries as they don't last long in my experience, so you just end up needing to replace them within a few months. Chargers for these are cheap, anywhere from $1.50 to $7.00, depending on where you buy them. I have the original one that came with my first ego kit, then bought a spare - you can also use your cell phone charger with the ego charging USB adapter and save money that way.

If you want glass tanks, you can try the Kanger Mini Pro Tank, though some love these and some are not fond of them. A regular sized Pro Tank will fit on the VV eGo type batteries, but it will be top heavy.

Unfortunately, most vendors only sell their band of juice. There are some higher-end vape shops that sell different brands of more expensive juices, but generally, they don't offer sample sizes. Most individual vendors offer a sample pack, which I highly recommend because you never know what you will like and not like.

In my experience of shopping around, it's almost impossible to find it all at one place - gear and liquid. But, certainly try to see what's out there. Some sites do have it all, but the prices will vary, so it depends on whether your bottom line is money or convenience.

I would look into delivery devices first, then power afterwards. The evod comes with a BCC, so I'd get a top coil, and a carto tank. Once you find that, you can then decide on power. The time it takes to find a delivery device also serves well to research what you think will do best for you.

 

[madqatter]

However, now I'm like "ok, I've got 5 clearomizers going, I could use at least 2 or 3 more and I've got only 2 batteries with one charger".

You don't need a battery for each tank unless you just want more batteries (e.g. you want some that are VV and don't yet have that, you need some that last longer). That's up to you.

maybe to have batts that are a bit thicker than the EVODS, as opposed to being longer

Maybe save up and get a mod? You'll have no shortage of good recommendations if you want to go that route.

Good price on Mini Protank II's here. Like Scarey said, they're great alongside your Evods because the coil heads are interchangeable.

 

[DKP#]

A VV battery would be the best upgrade imo. It would give you more control.
A spare charger would be a good idea too.
I agree with danca90 about trying another type of atomizer. I prefer the warmth of a top coil myself.

 

[Katya]

Yes, I agree with the above posters--vv battery would be the best upgrade. I love my Vision Spinner; I actually like it better than my Twist, but eVod vv and Smoktech Winder are also good.

Evod is a fine topper; I have tried all the Kanger BCC heads and I like them all. T3S, baby T3, eVod, PT 2 mini (if you need glass).

Good luck!

 

[seth83]

i think an evic could be more useful, have VV and VW, it can adapt to any atomizer, cartomizer, if you dont matter the size of the 18650 battery with 2200mha

 

[thatwierdguy]

Thank's for all the input folks! I should mention a few things that I failed to above. I have a Protank 2- full size, which I do like so far, but do want to try a Protank 2 mini. Also have 2 ARO's which I like quite a bit too. Also I'm curious about the Davides. I find myself wanting to have at least 4 e-liquids in rotation right in front of me and I'm getting sick of switching all those clearomizers back and forth between 2 batts(maybe I'm just lazy, idk), also I'd like to be able to charge 2 if need be while I use the other 2. I really want to have at least 2 working/charged batts on hand at all times. Definitely point taken with delivery devices, it's just that I gravitated towards clearomizers as I'm not so crazy about the idea of the filler material, also I liked the thought of the clearos being easier to fill (is that accurate?) and to see at a glance how much fluid I've got in there, I have gut-feeling issues with a cartomizer, maybe I'll have to try a cartotank then, and a top coil clearo. Isn't the PT2 mini a bottom coil unit? A nice glass top coil unit sounds good to me. Also getting curious about some kind of dripper atty, but I know even less about those. I must research MODS, but the Tesla's looked kind of good to me (or is that considered a AV?) - still much learning to do. I think I forgot to mention a thing or two here, but I'm up way too late and need some sleep, thank's everyone!

I have a couple of MODS, provari, reo, mvp, svd. I would recommend if you do go that route to get a iTaste SVD because of the features, price, and the multiple battery sizes you can use to your preference in regards to size of the device and/or battery life but is significantly bigger. If you wanna stay around your current device size I would recommend the iTaste VV v3.0 because of the added safety features. Also you could buy just a plain atomizer (DO NOT DRIP AND DRIVE!!!) and drip your juices for ease of switching flavors. But this may result in crossing the flavors if you do not clean it out (this does not bother me personally, I just blow the juice out and switch flavors). Depending on your current batteries be mindful of low resistance atomizers in regards to the mah on your current devices, so you do not strain your current batteries and cause malfunctions that can range from killing your batteries early or worse catastrophic failure (more in depth research will provide you with safety tips/rules).

If that's what you want and you can afford it and you're not looking to get a mod anytime soon, go for it.

If, on the other hand, you're thinking about a mod or two, I'd recommend saving the money and reading/watching mod reviews in the meantime. You mentioned the Tesla: here are GrimmGreen and PBusardo's reviews of the Tesla.

it's just that I gravitated towards clearomizers

If you like the vape, don't feel like you must try other things if you don't want to. Each of us has our own preferences, and if it's what you want you don't need what someone else wants.

Isn't the PT2 mini a bottom coil unit?

Yep.

A nice glass top coil unit sounds good to me. Also getting curious about some kind of dripper atty, but I know even less about those.

Top-coil glass tank:

Glass Vision V-Fate Nova Tank - 2.0ml

I would highly recommend at least trying a dripping atomizer. Most people wonder what took them so long when they finally do try it. You can get a single disposable atty for anywhere from $2-$12 depending on brand and resistance and type (510/306/eGo specific/901). You will also need a drip tip, which is also easy and cheap to acquire (anywhere from $1.50 up depending on material - metal/plastic/wood/glass). You basically drop about 3 drops of liquid into your atty, then vape. You can clean between flavors with pure VG/HG alcohol/some vendors sell atty cleaners that work great/just blow through the top into a paper towel to expel all of the existing juice in the atty, then drop 3 drops of whatever flavor you want to try next.

Thank's for the info! Now i'm just noodling over a kit with 2 spinners/twists or a mod. I did just check out GrimmGreen's vid on the Tesla, seems decent. Was it the iTaste that someone recommended on the first page? Is it pretty newb-friendly? Any other mods/AV's recommended? I really have to do some homework on the mods. I think I have a basic grasp on the concept of voltage from the device and the resistance of the coil, but I must confess that the whole volts and watts deal is a bit intimidating/overwhelming to me. It does sound cool to have a nice, hefty, solid device with a batt that will last a long time, hopefully not too complex, though, and I'd rather spend $100 or less (or up to about $110 after shipping, a place with free shipping always a plus). I think I will buy a dripping atty and/or carto tank soon, suppose I do want to experience them at least once, as long as I can find some at a decent price. Thank's for the advice and patience folks!

If looking to buy a Tesla here's a sale. You'd also need batteries and a charger. Make sure if buying batts and chargers they're a quality brand.
Tesla Body
Many of us use a smaller PV for out and about and a larger APV at home.

 

[madqatter]

Any other mods/AV's recommended?

Countdown to Reo & Provari recommendations...

I really have to do some homework on the mods.

There are many great ones. Read & watch reviews, ask owners & users questions, handle one in a store or at a local vape meet if you're able (just don't be pressured to buy if it's overpriced), etc.

I think I have a basic grasp on the concept of voltage from the device and the resistance of the coil, but I must confess that the whole volts and watts deal is a bit intimidating/overwhelming to me.

Start with this "safe vaping power chart." Know what your batteries and device(s) are capable of doing and calculate anything you're attempting with the Ohm's Law calculator. It may seem like a lot at first, but you'll get it. Many veterans recommend starting with a VV mod with some built-in safety features.

 

[thatwierdguy]

From just a little research, it looks like the Provari's and REO's are a bit too costly for me- except, maybe, a "blemished" REO. Will keep looking...

You don't need a ProVari or Reo! Trust me!

You already have plenty of good toppers; Davide is very similar to ProTank, BTW.

My favorite mods for under $100 are Vamo 3, Sigelei Zmax V3 or higher (mini or telescope), and iTaste MVP V2. Do some research before you jump. Vamo and MVP can be found on Fasttech--but it may take quite a while to get to you. Bu their prices are very good.

If you want to try dripping, I always recommend Joye 510 2.2Ω atomizers--they are very user friendly and great for beginning drippers. DigitalCiggz has the best deal on them if you want to buy a 5-pack.

Here's what you were probably referring to.
