Regardless of what batteries you choose, it sounds like you will need more coils for your tanks. MFS has a 40% sale going right now on all coils using code 40OFF Limit 2 packs per order. Here is the link.

I use and love my Nautilus with BVC coils. I use it on many different variable voltage / wattage mods. But, I use a 50/50 or 70/30 blend. I am more sensitive to VG than PG.
Good luck and hang in there! Like was already mentioned, get a disposable if you must to get by until you get something worked out
Good advice, Stay off the Cigs.
Great deal and IMHO MFS is a great vendor.

Camprilli....sorry, no I don't use straight VG, always a 50-50 mix. I seem to enjoy this with any flavor, but everyone is different.
Just a thought, if you're in a bind and want an inexpensive but reliable back-up, the vision spinner 2 with the 1600 mah is a good starter kit to have as a spare.
I used the spinners for a month before upgrading.... those coils lasted forever, I don't remember ever having a burnt coil, I would change them once a week for taste issues.
Of course now they have a 20W-30W Eleaf iStick's for about the same price as spinner setups, or less than the spinner.
The batteries in the iSticks 20W will last for two days with no problems, top it with a nautilus mini and you're good to go. The spinner has variable voltage, while the iStick has VV and VW.
Its just a great little powerful Mod you can simply stick in your pocket., light, but top-notch. I haven't had many problems with aspire coils or ISticks.
Good luck, and please try to stay away for the coffin nails, many folks have been there and done it...You can too....I did..and smoked longer than you.
I can put into words how vaporizers allowed me to stop smoking Immediately, their the next generation, I'm trying to keep up with all the new contraptions available now. It amazes me how much the vaping community has evolved in just the last few months.

That is a good choice and here is a great deal on those too
Heres a pretty good deal on the Innokin Itaste MVP 20w Box Mod. VaporBeast has just placed them on sale for $39.95. But, I just got the heads up that you can use the coupon code TENTASIC at checkout and the price falls to $29.95! For the price you get the Innokin Itaste MVP 20w Box Mod in the color of your choice, a USB charger & an eGo threading adaptor. This is a pretty nice variable wattage mod. Especially considering the discounted price. Dont wait too long to take advantage of this deal because the coupon code will expire on 01/16/2015.
Use Coupon Code: TENTASIC
http://www.vaporbeast.com/innokin-it...067f89cc14862c
Again, Great deal.
And if you sit a lot in front of the comp, You can charge the MVP20W from it and vape at the same time.
I never thought it was going to be a big deal, But I have used that feature more than I thought I would.
Really handy.
I bought 2 of them, I wanted to give one to a friend who still smokes Reds 2 packs a day.

Caprilli,
First of all, I've learned my lesson about saying "relax" to a female, even with a smiley -- I get why you're anxious, as we've all been in similiar situations. Everyone here will do their best to help you get this sorted in one way or another.
From what I know about Velvet Clouds eliquid, it should vape OK in an evod2 -- you seemed to intimate yourself that it was. It's basically VG with a good amount of water added so it's viscosity is more like 70/30.
However, they use organic and other flavorings that are absolutely brutal on coil life. They burn onto the coils and gunk up the wicks. What's good to eat is not necessarily good to inhale.
In general for a tank, the issue you're going to have is with viscosity -- and since most eliquids are PG-VG blends people mostly are going by that. e.g., if I am using below 60/40 in most tanks I modify the coils by removing flavor wicks and such.
I'm not sure what's going on there... except it sounds like for whatever reason your wicks aren't getting eliquid to them and you're getting severe dry hits that maybe burnt stuff onto the coil.
It's possible you got a few bad coils in a row, but it could also be your voltage is cranked up from when you were trying to clean or something? I'm in longshot mode here.
Worst case scenario, stop at any 7-11 or gas station and pick up some overpriced disposables. They won't last like you need as you seem to chain vape at the computer -- but they should keep you from going to the stinkies.
For what it's worth, if you end up smoking some stinkies it isn't the end of the world and it doesn't mean you're done with vaping or anything. You're already one of us. *cue spooky music*
I'll send a few recommendations as a message as I can't remember what the rules are about links, I don't want to call down the wraths of the mods, and it's easier than finding and reading them. Some of the ones mentioned above aren't bad ideas, though a lot of women don't like how the MVP feels in their hand.
1.5 is a pretty low-ohm coil unless your battery isn't variable-voltage. A higher-ohm coil generally allows you to up your voltage -- while using less amps -- and *generally* leads to longer battery life and headroom as some eliquids like cooler vapes.
Thicker liquids shouldn't have any bearing on what ohm you're using, unless the wicking is so poor that it'll burn instantly at 1.5ohm.
If you have a cheap battery that only puts out one voltage, they will often use 1.5ohm heads because if they used 2.5ohm, you might not be able to get enough vapor. If you end up with a variable voltage battery, you'll want 1.8 to 2.5. I usually use 2.2-2.5 unless I'm rolling my own.
This is unlikely. You'll shorten their life by chain-vaping as particulates and such build up, but that's about it. You can pop a coil by dry-burning it too long, but that won't be a burnt taste it'll just not do anything.

OH dear............. maybe I should have waited until a few more replies came in but I just placed a rather large order with sweet vapes. I did look into the box mods a few days ago but I am not quite ready yet to put "such a device" in front of my face Forgive the odd language - English is not my first lingo.
In all fairness whilst the Evod 2 kit worked for me (and I probably messed up those coils myself) it gave me enough of what I needed and even the Cloud Velvet tasted good and produced good vapor.
I therefore ordered two Evod VV 650 (as my backups or when out and about) with the Kanger Aerotank Mini with replaceable 1.8 coils with the two larger holes.
Two Evod VV 1600 with 2 x Aerotank Mow Mega, with replacable 1.5 ohm with two larger holes.
I am hoping that this will now buy me time so I can learn how to produce my own juices and by the time I got my head around that, I am probably ready for some real vapers gear!
I hope you are not all sat there in disbelieve but the one week with the Evod 2 kit has me hopeful that the gear will keep me satisfied for a while whilst I learn the ropes.
Thank you all so much for your support!!! I still cannot believe that I can just sit here and watch my husband smoke those nasties without me even being tempted and that AFTER I gave my tongue plenty of dry hits with my impatience!
Tomorrow morning I will run into the local B&M to collect some disposables to keep me going until the new kit arrives.

No worries, saved me some time to properly waste! Sincerely hope it works out.

We're soon-to-be-pals, you can call me db.
Some do, or will get along just fine but I promise you -- the minute many of them hold the iStick instead of the MVP they want they want the iStick due to the smaller size and button on the front panel. Which can be a problem, as many of the tanks really need to be fired under 4V which the iStick doesn't do. I've heard this often enough that I keep it in mind with anyone who has smaller hands.
Eric you are wrong. I am not upgrading my I-Phone 5 as the 6 is larger, I cannot get my head around box mods and definitely not around those huge, fat, dildo like "real" mods and the thought of seeing my vape in a glass tank in front of me is almost unbearable. I guess I really am quiet a girly girl but with the capability of putting a pitch fork into a straw bale and lifting it over my head so maybe I will get there.
I cannot thank you all enough for the great support and advise and I have saved some of the suggestions so I can brew over those for a while.

I guess the one thing I ought to change are the coils as they are all rather low in ohm! Both tanks came originally with 1.5 ohm coils so I figured that I was brave, ordering one set as 1.8.

...sorry I got distracted. For the record, we aren't condemning dildos right? As I am 100% pro-dildo and not willing to budge on it even if they've been voted off the island.
Caprilli said:
I'd definitely consider 1.8 or higher since you are getting VV batteries. If you are more like 2.2, it gives you more headroom in case you notice your eliquid isn't wicking well or is giving harsh hits. And you can always crank up the voltage.

This is not at all unusual for new vapers. Take it slow and use what works for you. Staying off the stinkies is what is important.
Some folks never do move past the Ego styled batteries and there is nothing at all wrong with that.I remember when i first started vaping and joined ECF, I thought that most everyone here was a little nuts. Vaping food flavors and using mods
It was so foreign to me that it almost seemed like a cult 
Eventually you might want to take a look at this:

Nothing wrong with Dildos but horses for courses springs to mind. So far I never considered taking those out shopping.
I have visited the itty bitty thread and subscribed to it, so I can find it, once my new kit is becoming frustrating and I will contact sweet vapes tomorrow AM to change those coils.
Since I can see myself wasting some money on gear that I might outgrow........... Are there any places where unused gear can be put to a good cause?

If you get yourself verified (paypal, etc.) you can recoup some costs via the classified section:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/buying-selling/
There's also a pay-it-forward section of the board here:
Pay It Forward - PIF
did you check the ohms of the replacement coils vs the factory installed coil, if it is a much lower ohm coil, that could explain the extra heat and the burned taste ... just a thought
I'll check out the classifieds and I tried to find out the ohms of the coils. The website stated that the replacement coils where 2.4's but there is nothing on the actual blister, that was supplied with the kit to confirm that statement.
All went well for the first few days apart from a tingling tongue and loss of taste, coughing with the PG. My tastebuds came back when I rotaded between strong mint chewing gums and my yummie caramel VG juice.
My first mistake was to change the coils for cleaning purposes, when they did not really needed a change and loosing one of the o-rings from the head. This caused bad flooding and the coil produced really hot hit, a bit of smoke came out the drip tip and then everything tasted burned. I cleaned the tank and the drip tip, changed the head and the coil, waited ten minutes and got dry hits...... My poor tongue is now back to tingling combined with numbness.

Ah, i also kept triggering the 10 second cut off and maybe my vaping technique is not quite there yet.
before going to gasstation disposable cigalikes (if that is what people are reccomending) check out your B&M for some disposable tanks - they are usually a few dollars a piece. (hopefully I'm not too late..)
I agree with what Drunk Batman said about coils - higher resistance coils (2.2vs1.8) take longer to heat up so your juice has more time to wick. personally I liked the 1.8ohm heads (lowest available at the time I was vaping egos), but i did have to prime the coil regularly, especially if chain vaping. Generally I used higher vg juices 70-30 or max vg.
Your loss of taste is what we call "vapers tongue" I think the medical term for it is olfactory overload - mint helps - either vape mint flavors, chew mint gum, suck on some mints) as does smelling coffee grounds or drinking coffee. Some times it's been so bad everything had very little taste for a few days, nothing I did helped. If you have accumulated liquid you dont really enjoy, this is a good time to vape through that
Those giant box mods: It is a bit odd at first, but personally I think it's worth it for upgrading your vape - IMO its almost as good as switching to egos from cigalikes. Even with the istick 20/30w you can use higher resistance coils to better customize your vape - if its too cool or the coil is not responsive enough you can crank up the heat. I'm not sure but someone said they dont have "Step-Down" which is the mod's ability to regulate voltage down from the battery. Mods that don't have step down will just push the battery voltage if your settings are too low (at most 4.2v) which may be too hot for lower ohm coils. If you want to stick to egos, go ahead, no judgement here, just trying to get you the best vape for your money Many find egos very satisfying, but those that step up to these APVs often wonder why they didn't do it sooner
Reach 10sec cut off: try pulling harder. I'm not sure about the evod v2's but I remember the evods had a tighter airflow which discouraged "lung hits" so you were forced do to "Mouth to Lung hits" where you pull the vapor into your mouth while firing the PV, then when your mouth is full you pull the PV away, do a quick inhale to get the vapor down your throat and exhale. Similar to taking a drink from a straw, only inhale instead of swallow
