Help! i'm sick and tired of experimentation!

[estaz]

Ok use your volt auto x2, get a kanger evod at 1.8ohm. And get yourself some real eliquid, kick up the mg another level. Youll have no problem getting a throat hit anymore. I vape 24mg at 70pg/80vg and can always get a nice kick

I don't think the evod will fit the XL battery. Igot an adapter but t doesn't seem to work. As for 24 mg, that's what I ordered when I first started vaping and I had the worst insomnia!! Lol.
Maybe I'll try out the evod on whatever 510/ego style I end up ordering. Also excited to try the mini vivi.

One word: clearos.

An inherently flawed delivery system.

It's not your battery, it's the delivery device. A battery is just a battery. It provides power to the delivery system. Your delivery system seems to be the weakest link. I'm not about to tell you what you "should" use. What works for me may not work for you. But all of your problems with clearos? I've had them, too.

Finally put them down for good. The only reason I keep clearos around is the rare emergency when I'm out of cartos.

Some people hate cartos and say they can taste the polyfill. I don't, so I prefer carto tanks.

Some people hate clearomizers and say it alters the juice flavor, giving it a burnt, metallic, plastic-y taste. Dry hits, gunky hits, etc. I fall into that category.

More than anything, I wanted consistency. With each and every hit. I didn't want to have to slosh a tank around to make sure the wicks were saturated. If a clearo tank got to less than half, I'd get a burnt or dry hit with almost every puff, unless I sloshed it around or refilled the tank.

Nothing made me more mad than clearos. When I finally learned how to properly prime and refill carto tanks (without end caps popping off and juice spilling everywhere, without underpriming, etc), it was like the clouds parted and a beam of light shined down upon me from heaven. Flavor as delicious as direct-dripping, and none of the hassles, burnt/gunky/dry hits from clearos.

Also, I've had some cartos last me over a month. With clearos, depending on usage, I got about two weeks before needing to replace the heads.

But hey, to each their own. That's the beauty of vaping, there are options for everyone.

Is a carto tank like a Texas tuff tank? I used one of those on my ego. It was great but huuuge. And once it stopped working, I screwed the whole outside part up even though I had an atomizer that I think would have been the replacement for the inside of it. So many good suggestions peeps! Though some of the larger solutions may be investments for at home use, until I'm a proud outdoor vapor!

I think I'm the one who recommended the Echo. It is a great, reliable automatic PV.

However, it sounds to me like what you're actually looking for is a dependable delivery system. I really can't help you there. I settled on dripping. Except on rare occasions, it's all I do all day every day. My atomizer of choice is an eGo-C, which with a bit of modification to the base works just fine on an Echo with an adapter.

Good luck.

Yep! I spent a good 2 hours reading up on it after! I think I might try it out!

Well this little thing impressed me in Phil's latest review.

Perhaps that could be the answer you seek. As for juices I highly recommend www.Blackvelvetejuice.com they are hands down the best I've had in the last 5 years.

 

[lissa5168]

Haven't read all 5 pages, so sorry if this is a repeat, but has anyone suggested the eRoll? It's an automatic and charges in its PCC when not in use. I've thought about getting one when my Volts die. Can't beat an automatic cigalike for driving, hiking, or out in large non-vaping crowds.

The Volt has ego threading, and the evod is ego threaded not 510. The volt has both connections so should work fine. Any other standard ego battery will work, but they are for the most part manual

Interestingly enough, he mentions the eroll in his review and says that he feels like he's fighting the eroll to get an inhale, so I guess pbusardo does not like eroll. I think I have to give up the mini ecigs. The overwhelming consensus here is that they won't address my evolving needs. Thanks for this. I subscribed to his channel. Lots of good reviews to ck out

 

[volume control]

The eroll is satisfying if you run really high nic. I used one at 36mg for months. The thing that ended up making me not use it anymore was getting into VV devices with big tanks. It was then i realized id rather just have something i can use all day without filling/switching/charging or anything. If i know im going to need to stealth i make sure the eroll is charged up and take it out still, but its not often


Edit: I hate feeling like a walking ad and i do this all the time. Ive found i get a really solid throat hit from wordupecigs Red full eliquid. Its a really tasty tobacco flavor and i use it at 80p/20v 18mg or 70p/30v 24mg. Ive had juice from a lot of vendors and there is something special about that Red. Right now im using an Evic with the Ego C upgrade tube to keep it small and a protank, its a really nice vape

 

[Rocketpunk]

Never heard of a Texas tuff tank, but this is a typical 3 ml DCT carto tank:



DCT stands for Dual Coil Tank, but you don't HAVE to use dual coil cartomizers in them. I prefer single-coil.

I heard that some suppliers put some alcohol in their juice and it helps with the TH. I'd rather cut down on nic down the line. I'm at 18 mg right now. I'm not a big tobacco flavor fan. I like bakery, fruit and coffee flavors personally.

Well I currently use both types, so my bakery one is actually half Wordup Strawberry Cheesecake and half Wordup Kosher Strawberry. If you like fruit flavors and want to taste real fruit, not fake stuff, their Kosher flavors are spot on. They are higher end juices, and they dont use tricks or fillers. Ive also enjoyed the Key Lime Pie, which was very good, but not really my thing. I dont do coffee flavors but Laurin has a thing for coffee juices i think, and has some special coffee mixes she makes. They also give a free sample of any flavor with any order, just put what you want in the comments.

As far as the TH goes with nic, VG heavily mutes it, which is why i need 80/20 at 18mg, the 70/30 at 18mg feels too weak. I like a good mixture of a nice thick vapor on exhale, and good TH. And dont forget that cutting down doesnt necessarily require you to lower your nic, you could just vape less often with a higher nic and achieve a lower overall nic intake

 

[bnrkwest]

You do get more punch with a manual batt. Throat hit is dependent on nic level. Higher more TH. Cartos give the most smoking experience vs clearos and clearos are all fiddly. I use them too but the easiest set up that is always ready to perform is a carto tank. I am going to try one with an 808 punched carto a batt I just got from Halo, it is ego style. So want to see how that works. You can get some pretty nice cheap tanks for Valley Vapes in polypro so will take all juices. bnrk

edit: here is a link, these 3 ml tanks work great, they do need filled with a needle top juice bottle thru the screw hole, but still really easy. I have about 3 of these and they are great. http://www.valleyvapes.com/3ml-Triple-V-Polypro-Tank_p_19.html

I just tried this with an 808 carto and an 808 batt and it works great.

Did I mention u guys are awesome?!

How exactly do you vape 70/80? Unless you're using some sort of extra dimentional bottle that allows you to use a 150% mix. She already stated she has great ejuice but you said get real juice without even suggesting a vendor. She also said the th is good when her devices are working properly.

Estaz, I can't make any recommendations on batts since all I use are tube mods. For your situation I think a carto tank would be your best option. The size of your battery shouldn't embarrass you. There is nothing to be ashamed about by being a vaper. I like my big tube mod bc it draws attention and I get to tell my story when people ask wth is that thing. I try to convert smokers every chance I get.

Oops meant 70/30. I was suggesting upping her nic so she wouldnt have to fight for TH. I suggested a vendor shortly after, but the "real juice" comment just meant get something with a high nic. Also didnt realize at that point she was trying to avoid a move to higher nic. Anyway thanks for the correction, i didnt even notice I love my mods too, people just tend to look at me funny, if they even notice

 

[Rocketpunk]

I'm confused. What are we discussing here, exactly? The battery, the delivery device, or the juice?

How did the OP manage to rack up 2,000+ posts and not absorb the plethora of information on here??

Lol, I thought it was a typo but I couldn't wrap my head around what ratio you could possibly have meant. I missed the vendor rec apparently. I was hung up on the 70/80 mix and my dimensional bottle crack.
