Sounds good, i might get the target 100

So the target 100 comes with 0.2 and 0.4, I guess i'd have to get a different coil right?

And a different mouthpiece, I don't like the really wide ones.

As for batteries, shouldn't be hard.

Getting close to making a decision, I really love the design of the target 100 and the innokin coolfire, they both look amazing.

That'll be for a kit with a DTL tank @Majesty.

You should be able to buy the mod separately and then the tank you want.

Depending upon where you're based you may consider getting what you can from Chinese etailers, "vapecrawler.com" is useful for finding items you want as well as doing Google searches.

I was wondering if you had any recommendations for tanks and mods?

You covered it very well w/ @Mordacai while i was at my job today. In your shoes, given everything said, i might go for a Target 100 mod & a Zlide Top tank. The Zlide takes Innokin's Z-Coils (not to be confused w/ GeekVapes Z Series coils), which are well-regarded & come in a range of options for MTL.

If you're willing to splurge, you could get a Target 100 mod & a Coolfire Z60/Zlide Top Kit. You'd get the same tank, have a backup mod, plus be able to try a built-in battery device along w/ an 18650 one.

Either way, pick up a couple of 18650 batteries. For the kind of vaping you're after, you could get something w/ higher mAh & lower CDR; Sony/Murata VTC 5D's would be more than enough for you, or even VTC 6's.

While external chargers are always recommended, you could just charge the batteries inside the mod w/ a USB cable for the time being. If you like using an 18650 mod, pick up a charger.

This top link lets me buy zenith coils alongside it and i get 5 total coils which i can get at 1.2 Ohm, i believe that’s the one i’d want right? there’s a 1.6 one too but i’m not sure if that’s too much for MTL

This one says 5.5 / 2 ML, i’m not sure which one i’m getting if it’s 2 or 5. Looks pretty nice. and it’s compatable with the coils you suggested.

Also sorry if i keep asking for suggestions i just want to ensure something i buy can actually be vouched for instead of going off on my own. Thanks in advance

It's generally recommended to get name-brand OEM batteries: Sony, Molicel, Panasonic/Sanyo, or Samsung. Hohm Tech's rep is pretty good for what it is but it's not a battery OEM. Look up Mooch, aka BatteryMooch, online. You should find reviews of batteries. Trust whatever he says.

The Zenith II is very similar to the Zlide Top & should work well for you. i have a preference for top airflow, like the Zlide Top, but not everyone feels the same. i've no hesitation suggesting a Zenith II: Solid tank & good coils.
You should get both a 5.5 ml tank glass & a 2 ml tank glass w/ it.

It should come w/ 2 coils. The 1.2 Ohm you mentioned is a good starting point for you; experiment w/ different coils from there.

Also sorry if i keep asking for suggestions

No need for an apology. We're all happy to help.

 

[Mordacai]

Where are you roughly based @Majesty, as we'll be able to find you somewhere that sells Molicel cells/batteries that are well renowned is the vaping community and have been tested by @Mooch the battery guru.

And with a 21700 mod you may want to consider 21700 cells, they'll allow for 2-3 days of vaping. But 21700 mods do come with 21700 battery adapters, so you'll be fine either way.

And yes, the tank and mod listings you've linked will work together. The 2ml capacity version is the UK release one, as TDP limits tank capacity to 2ml.

This is 100% true, Hohm Tech rewrap batteries/cells from other manufacturers.

You've no real idea of what you're exactly buying then, unless they've been tested by @Mooch. And even then they can be subject to change at any time.

I am northeast NA

I think i’m pretty set on the mod and tank + coil that i listed above, i was just gonna get a battery from that 18650 website, was there some place else i should go with?

I am northeast NA

If you mean you're in the NE part of the US, not in Canada, when you said you're in northeast NA...I'd definitely order from InnokinStore.com. You'll get free S/H from them if your order is more than $59.99. You should get it pretty quickly, too, since it would be shipped from their US location, not their location in China.

I'd recommend that you get the Innokin CoolFire Z80 Kit that comes with the Zenith II 5.5mL tank. They currently have it available in Leather Black, in Cloudy Grey, and in Rose Gold for $66.99. I personally have all of the colors they made, and IMO the Rose Gold is just gorgeous, especially the finish on the tank.

CoolFire Z80 Zenith II Kit | Innokin Store

The Innokin CoolFire Z80 Mod features a 4th generation vape tech F0 mode and refresh mode, which extends coil life and boosts flavors. It also comes with a replaceable external 18650 battery and fast charging. The Zenith II Tank delivers a tighter, smoother MTL vape and provides an outstanding...

innokinstore.com

The kit comes with a 0.8ohm coil and a 0.3ohm coil though...not a 1.2ohm or a 1.6ohm coil. The 1.6ohm coil is by far the most popular for those who vape MTL, at lower watts, and prefer a cooler vape rather than a warmer one. Some people do like and prefer the 0.8ohm one though, or the 1.2ohm...because they like a warmer vape.

I personally wouldn't order any boxes of coils yet though, until you can at least try the 0.8ohm one that comes with the kit, to see if you like it or not. If you try the 0.8ohm coil and it's too warm, and you'd like to try a 1.2ohm or a 1.6ohm ...I'd gladly help you with that for free, since I have a gracious plenty of each of them.

By the way, once you find out which ohm coil you prefer and want to buy boxes of them...there are other US vendors who have the Innokin Z-coils for less than Innokin Store's price for them.

@JCinFLA

I am pretty strung between the cool fire and target 100

I love the way both of them look, i think i’d have to spend more on the target 100 getting different coils and another tank so maybe i’d go with innokin.

Who are the vendors that sell boxes of coils?
