Frank how many analogs were you smoking before you made the change? one thing I noticed when I switched is I chain vaped like a mother to try and replace the 100% sensation of smoking so don't go crazy if your using a high mg of nicotine.
Going the ecig route..

I prefer function over form 10 times out of 10. If they weren't too exspensive I'd get a glass tank from phiniac.

A good website that's run be highly regarded vaper PBusardo is good to follow. Initially he gave the T3 a thumbs up but after receiving complaints he tried another and it turned out to be a dud.
Can't link the page cuz it's wordpress.
Left side of page go to "Knowledge Base" and then down to "The Gates"
Edit: ECF in their wisdom has blocked his website...don't know why cuz he's highly regarded within the community

Lots of people using IBTanked - Get Tanked With Us! Much cheaper and if you figure cost per day long term it really isn't too bad IMO.
Yeah, I've been watching pbusardo vids, pretty much, endlessly. I find him very funny & enjoyable. Any other tank recommendations would be appreciated.
Yeah I really like his vids also. A great resource IMO. I've been using the Mini Vivi Nova on my: Spinners, Twists, Kgo, Kgo VV and eGo. For VV they're perfect as there are 3 X ohms- 1.8, 2.4 and 2.8 BUT realize they are plastic and acidic juices can damage them. For those juices I use a carto. I'm waiting for reviews on the ProTank- first glass clearomizer:

So after hearing, reading, and listening, it looks like they are probably ALL Kangers with KangerTech making little tweaks here and there in newer productions runs. In my opinion, a bad idea. If you’re going to change a product, you should probably rename it so people know what the hell they’re buying, but that’s IMHO.
Note that I have not yet heard back from Kanger after the initial email that stated they were looking into it.
So why were the two so damn different?
Right now, I don’t know, but it is really no wonder why so many people love then and so many people hate them.
Since they are all hand made, my guess is that there are slight differences in construction. Also, as demand increases, my second guess is that they source the materials from different vendors, although I have no way to substantiate that. These two items lead to inconsistencies in performance.
I have several new ones coming in that I’ll be trying side by side to see if this inconsistency continues.
For now, they’ve been removed from the recommended hardware section, and pending what I find from further testing, the Clearo Shootout may be annotated.
I wouldn’t be wasting my time if the first one wasn’t so good and the second so bad!!
For those of you who tried them based on my recommendation and had a bad experience… my apologies.
What a bummer! I really liked the one that worked! But really hate the one that doesn’t.

Yes BUT I ALWAYS wait for the reviews to come in...esp given the issues with the T3. Price will be super high at first and then drop. Next thing you know everyone's manufacturing glass clearos...it's the "ya can't sue me cuz I'm in China" so they all end up stealing/ copying one anothers ideas LOL
As far as tanks go its all about budget. Visions Vivi Nova is hard to beat imo. I used one exclusively for months. Theres obviously much higher grade tanks, but they come at a much higher price. Vivi Novas are epic for what they cost and did not leak at all.
70/30 and a Virginia mix works for me. It tastes nothing like Golden Virginia tobacco but it does taste like honey (IMO) and I think it's yummy!
Definitely try samples rather than buying a 30ml bottle of something and finding out you hate it. Luckily, I've bought samples in the past of things I really thought I'd like and hated them!
If you're looking for tobacco flavours though, I tried HS Delight and HS Deluxe. I can't remember which one it was (get a sample!) but one of them was really smokey, tasted just like a cigarette and made me feel sick all day! Definitely the closest thing to a cig I could find!x

I've heard it's presently being shipped to vendors BUT sometimes with a new product in the beginning a few vendors will have exclusivity. Already on sale in Spain. You could pre order via the link I gave but realize they're in China. There was a vendor taking pre orders here.
I don't believe they respect patents there too well. I'd happily spend more for the quality product that will last. Like I said "function over form"
95% of vaping gear is made in China. I prefer to buy quality also. As for China I play the Mkts and Chinese based NYSE/ Naz listed stocks are found to be fraudulent and nothing happens except co is delisted- no jail time. I'm sure there's some real China stock bargains but given the general lack of ethics best to stay away as they don't follow general accounting standards. You'll find in the vaping industry LOTS of clones and rebranding going on. Vivi Nova clones are a nightmare but the Vision Vivis are great.
I do try to buy US made products as often as I can. Nowadays it's getting harder and harder to do.
At the time 30 ml bottles were selling $20...
Best to buy samples to find your likes and dislikes. When I first began vaping I bought 30 wide ranging samples. Out of those 30 I liked 10. Immediately ordered another 20 and out of those I liked 10…so out 50 different flavors I enjoyed 20. Months later I tried those 30 samples that I disliked and enjoyed all but one. Whether it was because my tastes had changed or they needed steeping I don’t know. Realize also "same name" juices will vary greatly in taste from vendor to vendor as they all have diff recipes and order ingredients from diff Suppliers.
If I had bought 30 ml bottles cost would have been about $1K. Ended up only costing me $200 for samples- Finding the right juice prolly the toughest part IMO. One month later I was DIY'ing juice.
Coming from CE4/Stardust's, I absolutely LOVE my Kanger T3's.
No leaks, no issues, clouds of vapor.
Bottom coil, so I never have to turn it to keep the wicks wet.
My all day nicquid is Grapeful Dead from Hot Vapes.
Way too many vendors to recommend just one to get your hardware from.
Google is your friend.
