Considered a Provari, actually, even though I know that was a "fanboy" crack... LOL... I've been around the forums, watched all of Grimm and Phil's videos, etc... Went with the Boges and J-tanks based on Phil's love for them, actually... Just can't seem to get it, though... Don't know if it's the wicking or the filler changing the flavor or what... It's all killing me... Now I give up on the tanks and move on to something else again, there's another plethora of wasted money and useless gear sitting around...

Not useless junk just not whats right for you :) Get verified and sell or trade in the classies and keep at it.You will find something that will work for you :) Im pretty sure most folks here didnt find what they liked right off the bat .

I like my MVP, but I have more toys on the way to play with.

One thing I really noticed is that some of my liquids lose flavor if I vape them constantly. My solution was to bring along another tank ..or two..or three (ok, so I am easily bored) in my mix I always have a light flavor. If I start losing touch with the one I prefer it is usually due to me vaping on it constantly.

I find I need to cleanse my palette... weird as that sounds... If I don't then I find myself upping my voltage and making it nasty. I have a black licorice that I even use sometimes.

Ive been under the impression that 8 was pretty normal... I've played with the wattage, but maybe not enough... I did spend some time dripping in the past... Enjoyed the flavor, but not so much the process... Going out was a real PITA... Maybe it's just me and I'm the PITA...

I agree.. Dripping is a HUGE pain... But some people likes it.

My wife also makes a very valid and logical point about juice tasting bad when it's being compared to a burning cigarette... Don't really think about it like that, though...

If you say this....might it be the juice?

I'm very new in the game, and was going for the hit more than anything.
(I use a ProVari bc a bug bit me when I got to the store, it was supposed to be an eVic initially).
Tank cartomizer system, 12mg juice with a spare tank loaded to 18.

Have you tried juices with less added taste, so to say?
Naturally, concentrated juice can't taste good - have you ever thought of leaving a cigarette in a bottle of water and for a couple of hours and trying the water afterwards? I hope you didn't - b/c that would've tasted very, very badly.

I tried at least 3-4 different ones with a somewhat harsher hit compared to the average juice.
//Couple in my rotation as of now as it was what I was hunting for).

For me I was ok with cartos and twists for a while but like you said flavor doesnt stay consistent and before and after that set up had try everything from dripping to cig a likes to carto tanks to clearos and anything else you can think of lol and finally got into building my own coils.

After getting good at that I recently got a Reo Grand and RM2. That combined with my coil skills has become my perfect set up. Long battery life and juice capacity and always consistent hits.

Also considered RBAs, but my arthritis most likely wouldn't cooperate...
