from Ego one to...?

[BoPeep]

Hi all,
So I am using the ego one 1100 (so the mini), and then got a kanger subvod kit and I use the 1.2 head. Both are nice but I must say I like the ego one more. Just seems smoother and more flavor. In just 2 weeks I've gone from 18mg down to 6mg, which is great. I'm thinking a mod with variable temp and/or other features might be more satisfying for me. Something is just missing. I don't want to slip back to smoking, and going up in nic just makes me woozy. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Peep

Depends a bit on what you really want, if you are looking at the same general form factor and size there aren't as many options as there are if you wanted to move to a box mod style. There is a TC version of the Ego One, as well as the Subvod. But both will be bigger than the Ego One Mini.

Temp control is very finicky. Seem to always have to fiddle with it to get a good vape. Stainless Steel, Kanthal, nickel and most metals change flavor some. tanks vape different on a lot of mods. Then you have coils, vertical, horizontal, single, duel and what ever else all changes the vape. Then wicking and all the different kinds. I have a mod I only run Stainless steel coils in TC, one mod just runs nickel. Most time I run the same tanks on them because they just seem to work better than others.. Then I have my mods for watts and tanks with kanthal coils. And the list goes on.

I do not think there is a "one for all" mod and tank for everyone. You have to find what works well with what and run with it. This is strictly my opinion and others may differ in their opinion.

Good luck in your search and hope you find what you are looking for.

CHEERS!

+1. I think, if you want to try TC, I'd probably buy one of the one-battery mid watt TC machines like the Kanger Topbox or the eVic VTC. That way, if TC is not where you want to go, you're not out tons of money.

So I guess I'll just do my research and try one? I was looking into box mods, and most seem to have TC plus wattage and voltage options. From what I've learned so far it seems you just have to try and tweek as you go. The eVic was one on my list. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the advice. I hadn't even really thought about SS vs nickel vs Kanthol. More research for this newbie!

That's the idea. Think about it, look around, and ask us questions. The eVic model is available in either fixed (VT) or removable (VTC) battery, and is probably best as far as features go because it allows the user to input TC wire TCR codes. The Kanger is removable battery only, and you're stuck with the TCR codes they put in at the factory, at least until they upgrade the firmware. I actually like the Kanger better, personally. I think it's a better brand over eVic, and it definitely comes bundled with a better tank than the eVic. But look around. Something in that size/price range is where I think you should start.

You do, actually, but that's true of all but the simplest gear. The more flexible your equipment is, the easier it is to figure out just exactly what you want your vape to do, but the tougher it is to get it dialed in perfectly. You'll get there eventually-- we'll all help, too-- but you can anticipate some trial and error getting there if you pick a flexible machine.

Hi, Peep! Can I back this up just a little? There's a pretty big difference between an ego one and a TC device . What is it that you don't like about your current setup? Would you like a more flavorful vape? An airier vape? More/bigger clouds?

I'm asking not to discourage you from looking at a TC mod (about which you've already gotten some great advice!), but to see if that's gonna do it for you. As Suprtrkr said, there's a lot of dialing in to do to get nirvana! So, what are you looking for?

Big congrats on your accomplishment!!!

Hi!
So I guess I'm looking for a little more clouds (the ego one is pretty good!). Even though I didn't think the clouds would be of interest to me, I do find a weak cloud pretty unsatisfying. More flavor would be great. I like my vape on the warmer side. Is it possible to get a moderate throat hit AND a decent cloud? That would be great

Hello @BoPeep and welcome to the forum.

Throat Hit is created by two main issues, Nicotine content and PG level. (PG is also known as the flavor carrier) Clouds are mostly created by the VG content in vape. On lower beginner tanks a 50/50 ratio is very common. As people move into the more advanced gear they "usually" go for higher VG mixes like 80VG/20PG for a smoother vape. They also cut their nicotine level in half or more as the better devices will consume more juice and therefore ingest more nicotine. 6mg is the average high for sub ohm vape from my observations, and most sub ohm vapers vape at 3 mg or less.

With the advanced tanks like the Topbox mentioned above it is possible to get a warm , throaty, cloudy vape. I would think a 60vg/40pg to a 70vg/30pg juice should do the trick.

If 3 mg is too much nicotine you can get the same flavor juice in a zero. Combine the 3mg and zero juice EQUALLY and you end up with a 1.5 mg juice. You'll have to experiment a little to find your vape comfort zone but everything is possible with the help you can get on the forum.

Update: I got an evic mini with a tobeco mini tank. I was unsure about the tank at first, (unfortunate you can't change the mouthpiece) but now I'm starting love it! I'm learning to try new things and thanks to all the great advice. Fiddling with all the settings and happy. Thank you!

My first tc device was istick 40w tc. Loved it. Still use it some these days. Use it with subtank mini. With rba base

+2 - I was in same predicament as the OP and with lots of research and recommendations from some folks on here along with the guy at my Vape Shop I decided on the iStick TC40W and a Nautilus Mini. Has the versatility I need with TC if I want to use different coils.

Yeah, BoPeep! So pleased you found something you like! One of the fun things about vaping is that there are so many options -- and lots of folks who are knowledgeable about them. Keep experimenting, and best of luck to you in your vaping journey .
