Hello all. Upgrading my Kit. Am i doing it right?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Currently using EgO T. Basic kit. So far i have no issues with it at all actually. Just want too upgrade from occasional user, to the new NON Analogue using E cigs for my nic needs person!
So i have been reading in ECF and searching the web, and the list provided by PM( :) ) Thank you btw!
This is the setup i think i need.
Needs are.
1. A heavy hit, lots of NIC infused vapour hitting the lungs!
2. Ease of operation(so no dripping! Must be tanked)
3. Ability too tune it down to a EGO Basic Kit kinda vapour delivery
4. Portability.

This is what i have come up with. Was hoping for some feedback, i want to make sure i am getting the right kit for the job. I know you all have your "own" thing. As long as this setup will cover what my needs are, i will be a happyvaper( no copyright infringement meant!)
KangerTech AeroTank Airflow Control(as posted in the New releases thread on this forum). This meets my needs 1 and 3 specifically and meets 2 and 4
joyetech Ego C Twist 900mah.

Now my thoughts are that the Airflow Control will allow me to increase the cooling effect and get lots of air along with the vapour that will be coming if i crank up the battery too "ludicrous" voltage and :vapor:!
ejuice is not a problem, i already know what i want and where to get it, i already have a good supply of the stuff i need.
Am i in the ballpark or do i have too go back to the minors and Google some more?
Thanks

I started with a 510 and didn't learn enough before I switched to a non-twist eGo battery and had to upgrade again, but the variable voltage makes all of my upgrading worthwhile.

I picked up a ProTank 3, and felt it was like inhaling through one of those massive slurpee straws, and it looked unnatural on an eGo battery even with the beauty ring, so I shelved it. Later, I bought the airflow base, and now the PT3 is my primary glassomizer (and now that I'm a Provari user, it also doesn't feel top-heavy anymore or look like an unnatural growth). If you don't already own a Protank, just skip to buying an Aerotank rather than the Protank + Aerotank base.

Aerotank yep.
ego c twist..... you can do better than that; get at least the innokin vv3 so you can have VW. Plus its a passthrough.

VW supercedes VV, and most mods are coming with VW now. And consider the big one, the MVP2.

Can you explain variable wattage to me? I started on twists and now have an itaste. I usually keep them between 3.8 and 4.2 using anything from a 1.8 to a 2.8 ohm.

What are the benefits of switching to watts instead of volts and what should they be run at? I looked at some graphs and other stuff listed here, but it goes over my head.

There is not necessarily any great benefit to using variable watts rather than variable volts, but some some people find it more convenient.

W = (V*V)/Ohms...If your battery is set at 4 volts, and your atomizer is 2 oHms, the wattage is = (4*4)/2 = 8. The thing about VW is that once you set your device to a chosen wattage level, it will continue to run at that level regardless of any changes to your atomizer or battery output; you find your sweet spot, and ignore everything else.

I tend to use VW with my Vamo (and with my Kicked mech mod), but my newest APV is VV only, and I find the lack of VW to be no great loss.

Greetings KS, welcome to the forum.

Have you thought about getting an APV? You might find that you enjoy vaping more with something that puts out more power than am eGo Twist. Definitely something to think about if you find yourself wanting richer, thicker vapour.

I agree I'd go for an mvp2. Compared to a twist, Cons: bigger bat/ it's a box. That's a deal breaker for some. Also a little more expensive. Pros: huge battery by comparison at 2600mah if memory serves. You can adjust volts just like a twist, or adjust watts. IF one day you want to rebuild an MVP can support that. All in all I think the MVP would be an investment in the future.

Disclaimer: your number 4 was portability. I read that as "I don't want a drip atty that will leak everywhere when carried" however if it was in reference to size of the device then my 2 cents was a failure.

I have a Vision Spinner (1300mah just like your Twist with a little longer battery life) awesome and a few other various ego and evod batteries. The MVP 2 is amazing!! If you don't mind the small box look ( great for home use)you won't find a tougher(I drop it all the time) longer battery life-lasts forever!! I paid 40$-well worth it-highly recommend getting one.

With VV voltage control, when you change out the coil and the new coil is a lower resistance you have to lower the voltage yourself.
With VW power regulation, when you change out the coil and the new coil is a lower resistance the device reduces the voltage for you to maintain the same power level as before.

One less complication for you to worry about.

An Ego Twist can give a very decent vape IMO. The down side is that it will most likely only keep you happy for only so long, and you'll be looking to upgrade yet again. Nothing wrong with this route really. I took a lot of progression steps before finding what was right for me. I wish I would've skipped a few but overall I had a great time with it.

On the VV vs VW bit. If you came up when the VV concept was 'the next best thing,' VW is really not necessary, or even seen as much of a benefit. If you're somewhat new to vaping, I guess it could possibly be viewed as sliced bread. In reality it's two ways to achieve the same vape, and merely a minor convenience.

Hope that helps

Thank you all for your responses. Looks like i did my homework! Thanks.
I will look into the Innokin VW battery. I looked at the MVP. That's just way too big and bulky for me, right now. That is maybe something down the road a bit.
I am having difficulty locating the Innokin VW. VV not a problem, i will look some more.
Definitely will look at getting 2 batteries. I went through 3 tanks and 1 battery last night, was worried i would run out my second battery. So second battery or at the least a passthrough for the time being i guess.
Thanks again for all the great reply's and info. Makes this alot easier!

The Innokin VV3 battery does have VW.

1363600-19.jpg

Authentic Innokin iTaste VV V3.0 Variable Voltage / Wattage 800mAh Rechargeable Battery

Details:

The iTaste VV V3.0 is a microprocessor controlled variable-voltage/variable-wattage (VV/VW) personal vaporizer that lets you adjust the voltage or wattage in seconds with just a few button presses. It's quick and easy!
•Variable Voltage: voltage can be adjusted from 3.3 – 5.0 volts in .1 volt increments
•Variable Wattage: Wattage can be adjusted from 6.0 – 11.0 W in .5 watts increments
•Ohms meter: Resistive Load Detection
•Puff Counter: The puff counter will record how many puffs you have taken. The records will be cleared when the device is turned off
•Short Circuit/Atomizer Protection: Helps protect the iTaste VV against faulty atomizers
•Over-Discharge Protection: The iTaste VV monitors the battery voltage and will automatically turn off when the battery is discharged
•LED Battery Indicator: The iTaste VV battery utilizes an advanced capacity display via green, yellow and red LED lights. Users will know the battery’s capacity via the color of the LED Button
•The LED lights will show green, yellow or red to indicate full battery life, half capacity or charging needed
•Superior Battery Life: The iTaste VV e-cigarette features a built-in 800 mAh polymer Li-Ion rechargeable battery

•ON/OFF Battery Switch: Quickly clicking three times will power the device on or off. Once the device is on, holding down the button will activate the battery. This safety feature prevents the atomizer from turning on while it's in your pocket or bag, as well as inadvertent settings changes
•10-Second Cutoff: If the button is held down for 10 seconds or longer, the iTaste VV will shut itself off until the button is released
•Passthrough: The iTaste VV is charged through a Micro USB Port. You can recharge it with any standard MicroUSB cable. It can also work as a pass-through device for simultaneous vaping and charging
•Settings Retention: The device remembers the last voltage or wattage used when switching batteries
•Display Information: The bright display shows resistance (ohms), voltage, wattage, atomizer voltage output, puff count, and last-used settings

As mentioned above, the VV V3 has variable wattage, and pretty much every other feature you'll want on an APV. I don't have one myself, but I was seriously thinking of getting one (ended up buying a mech mod instead). Innokin stuff looks solid.

Happy vaping!

Sigh!
So this is what i went and did. I read all the articles/threads on ECF to find that "right" APV.
Innoken VV/VW V3, Kranger Pro Tank 3, Spare Coils, from FT. Its in Singapore!! LOL moving on
Innoken MVP 2!!! Broke one of my own restrictions, portable like a cigarette! Oh well, this MVP 2 does exactly what i want it to do. Big, square(wont roll off the table!!)Tons of battery, and pretty easy too switch tanks. Kranger Pro Tank 2 'MINI", spare coils.Oh and some fancy tips!SIGH!!..Why the mini, well i have just realized that i am going to be a LONG time VAPOR HEAD!. So i want a good small tank that i can switch up sample Juices without having to use alot of it. And it fits nice on the MVP 2. This is coming from HPV
Kanger Aero Tank and some Pro Tank 3 coils(different ohms ) MT Baker.
And of course i have more juice coming.
Still Cheaper than the 2 cartons of smokes i would be buying instead!!..

I just bought an MVP 2 myself. I did a lot of researching before deciding on the MVP 2. I love the long battery life, vapes great, won't break the bank, and the ability to charge stuff. That said, there are quite a few other good devices out there to choose from. I bought a Nautilus Aspire BDC Airflow, 2 mini protanks II's. I have some atomizer's from my ego and drip tips for dripping already. Considering buying the Smoktech tank dual coil cartomizer and/or the X8 Odysseus cartomizer tank.

Fingers crossed that my gear holds out till my new stuff gets here or till tuesday at least! 7 days no anologues! And 2 days of vapours tongue! Smelling ground coffee and rinsing with pickle juice!
