Hey Scy123, and everyone else! I'm a new member here too and been vaping almost as long as you have....it'll be 1 yr the first week of Sept. I LOVE it!!! I'm so glad I finally quit with the smoking; been way too many years!! I love how my clothes don't smell like smoke, my bedding, my curtains, my carpets....I'm sure you all know what I'm saying...the smell that I never noticed was so strong on me that I can now pick up on others in a second.
Anyhow, I started off with a joytech eGo-T starter kit and have tried different batteries, tanks, cartomizers, single coils, dual coils, bottom loader, top loaders and just honestly can't get that great umph that I'm so desperately searching for all the time!! I'm currently using a couple vision spinners with a kanger protank mini 3 and an innokin i30 that I swap between. I get different opinions as to what coils to use regarding whether it's a 1.5 or 2.0 in the kanger tank or 2.1's or less ohms in the i30.
There are people who work in the shops who have always recommended the higher ohm'ed coil and then just yesterday in a different shop a guy was baffled as to why I wanted a 2.0 ohm coil as opposed to a 1.6 ohm. I truly didn't have any good answer for him but that I have always been told I wanted a 2.0 ohm and have always just followed that advice...regardless if it was right or wrong depending on what type of vape I enjoy.
I am not knowledgeable in this kind-a stuff, however, am not ignorant on the subject either....I mean...I can easily learn and understand if someone was to explain things in basic terms.....
In addition to my being totally confused on this, I'm also stuck on wanting to move up to a higher voltage/wattage mod because I'm thinking with more options available to me in addition to having higher voltage and higher wattage accessibility, I will get that great throat hit that I love, much more flavor and an all around better vape than what I'm getting with what I'm using now.....been researching the i-tazte mvp v2, the smok groove II, the HCigar DNA 20 & 30 & others along the way...
Are there any of you guys out there who can give me some ideas or thoughts on any of this? I'd love to chat with everyone!!
Thanks for having me here at ECF and I look forward to meeting & chatting with everybody out there!!
as a side note, you should probably post your question in a new thread... more likely to get the answers you are looking for!
But just incase anyone on this thread is having the same dilemma:
For those new to vaping I usually say you cant go wrong with an MVP2 and an evod/protank2 mini on top - or a nautilus mini bvc if you are willing to spend more for a better vape experience.
The MVP2 is a great box - most people that have them LOVE them. I think it is most common for people to upgrade their Ego batteries to this device - double the battery life if not more. vv/vw to play with, and plenty of power for clearos/cartos. there is a pretty low learning curve with this device, and its a set it and forget it mod for the most part. Additionally there are no extra batteries or chargers to buy for this device.
Since you've been in it a bit and have been looking around at different mods and such I'd say you could go 2 ways:
1) MVP2 is great for those who use Clearos/Cartos but want a bit more power to them.
2) 20/30w mods (Yihi mods are also pretty good according to the reviewers) are usually more for rebuildables (RBA - rebuildable atomizer) but some people still use them with clearos - IMO you are buying a Ferrari to take your kids to school in that case. (I do prefer the screens/error messages on these over devices like the MVP2, but its at a higher price point and you really dont need the extra wattage & amps for your clearo).
variable voltage (vv) means you can customize your power.
Most single coil clearomizers vape best at 8w (im not sure if the same rule applys to dual coil heads). on a vv device, that means you have to do some math based on the resistance of the coil (head) you are using... or atleast adjust the voltage to find that "sweet spot" again. its less of a chore with vw.
Variable wattage (vw) device is more of a set it and forget it device - you can set it at 8w and you get a similar vape based on the coil you have. to adjust for more or less power (some juices perform better at lower/higher wattages).
1.6 ohmcoils heat up faster for a warmer vape - 2 ohm coils take longer to heat, and usually give a cooler vape. Heatup time translates into having to "puff" longer or giving more powered "primer" puffs.
hth - sorry if someone else answered this here before I got this out, I got distracted :S
