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.
Lol, I meant btwn 70-80 pg depending on the brand and rest vg. Thank you for pointing that out. I don't know, maybe it's something about always being surrounded by major pedestrian traffic in manhattan or maybe I just don't like being stared at.

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

Well, i got a ton of help when i was a complete newbie and posted a lot of questions and got a ton of guidance. I surf the forum a lot for reviews, learn about new products, legislation etc, chat, enter contests to try new stuff, etc....but when it comes to something specific like this, I thought the best thing was to create a thread. I'm completely overwhelmed by the generosity of time and patience the members have exhibited.

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

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet but the Panda ecig was just reviewed by PBusardo and I have to admit I was quite impressed by what I saw. It sounds like it might be what you are looking for?

I did take a look at it. To me it looks like a kanger battery with the crystal tip (which I have) and a kanger t4 (which I have). The t4 works well the first fill or two, but the draw is on the tight side. I could be wrong, but perhaps this is rebranded under the panda name? It could just be a lookalike. Maybe I should ask pbusardo. Im a bit cautious because frankly, im so sick of ordering stuff, obsessively checking the tracking, only to be disappointed. Btw, he's hilarious!

When I travel, I use an eGo setup (2X 1350 batteries, a couple T2s, and plenty of juice) because it is light and easy to fly with along with all the other crap I need to schlep around and its easy to explain to TSA. The worst I have ever gotten in public was a few questions asking what it was. I decided to go for a couple of 650 eGo batteries - with T2s on the eGo 650 batteries, you can barely see the device - I can cover most of it in my hand if I choose to. I think from a distance, most would think you were smoking a cigar...

If I do get questions, I have a few canned answers. The first question is usually "what's that?" or "Is that one of those e-cigs?". My first answer is always "yep. best decision I've ever made".

Once I internalized that moving to an electronic format was something to be proud of rather than be ashamed of, it changed how I handle the people that look and ask. Now, I actually hope that people do ask what it is...

Believe it or not, I get stopped a lot about my cig a like and I love sharing information about it as well. I've even converted a few friends and coworkers. Maybe I feel like I'm exaggerating a bit with the huge ones. The small ones are more comfortable though. I really think I'm starting to lean in the direction of just giving up and getting short fat batt. A lot of good suggestions were given. I'm going to end up ordering one or two of them and definitely the vivi and maybe a carto tank.

Is there a brick and mortar vape store close to you?

That would be a good way to 'play' with some equipment before making final decisions. It would also give you a chance to see some other devices and make the right call for what you need.

Might be worth looking into.

The two closest: an SI store, which I have so many products from already, and another store that primarily carries egos and regular clearos.

Gotcha.

Well, you ought to go forward with the other bits recommended.

Regardless, keep your chin up. You'll figure out what works best for you.

I apologize and I understand. Please forgive my snootiness.

Estaz, Sorry so late here, but you mentioned earlier that Pbusardo didn't care much for the eRoll. He reviewed the Ovale E Mini, same thing as an eRoll and gave it a thumbs up. I have an eRoll. Love it. I run higher nic juice for it at work because I cannot vape freely there. I use my bigger rigs at home because well, I spent money on them and have cool glass tanks on them, and don't want to bin them. If chain vaping is an issue, you can order an eRoll starter kit, extra batteries, and an extra atomizer cone to make a full second eRoll cig and alternate them on the charger. The tanks are easy to fill, I can fill them with a store issued 60ml juice bottle through the bottom hole. Just takes time and a steady hand.

If you have Brick and Morters you should definitely go take a look, maybe something will catch your eye! Im not sure how fat you mean by a short fat batt but the evic is pretty short in 18350. I use ego 650s a lot as well when i need something small. Honestly im never looking for something better, but i see things and i get that MUST HAVE feeling. Then every now and then one of those random things i buy makes me dissapointed in my old stuff. So you may not be content, and im completely content, but it seems we almost go through the same ritual, my dissapointment just doesnt come until i find something better. :)

I know I am probably in the minority here, but wanted to throw another option into the mix. I have several ego variable volt batteries, several mini egos (like the keychain mini, mine are manual batteries however) and several old fashioned pen-style cig-alike 510 auto mega batteries. I, too, sometimes just like a simple stick I can just puff on. I like cartomizers because I put these in my pocket and take with me when traveling, and a tank is not really "pocketable", if that is a word???? I found Kanger horizontal coil cartomizers (got mine from Lite Cig but others carry them) and I LOVE them! Much nicer throat hit, more vapor and very convenient. Mine are 510 thread but I know they also sell other threads and there are adapters as others have mentioned.

Just another idea...

thanks! i never thought to go back to cartos, but being that they're cheap, they're worth a try! speaking of litecigusa, i just tried Nite Lite Vapor's harbor nights in a new ce3 (got so many of them, figured i'd give one another try) on a small kanger battery and i'm actually getting pretty good throat hit! so, to those that said juice could be the culprit, i think that may be the case as well. NLV's juice is much thinner, even though they're at 65/35 and much lighter. it could be those dark juices i use..seems that almost all the flavors i like are dark. and those that aren't, even at 80/20, for some reason are still thick. scratching my head here...
i'm starting to feel hopeful again - a) because of all the recommendations and new stuff to try - even though, i'm not going to splurge one everything, but definitely on a few of the suggested items..and b)because i now have this possibly temporary relief with this nlv juice.
also, the more you guys say it, the more i think that maybe it ain't so bad to just proudly strut my stuff with a bigger batt out and about..seriously, maybe this will be a growing experience!
also, to all the ny peeps out there, have you heard about the council meeting on thursday downtown? i'm thinking of attending. would love to meet some of you in person if you're attending. and though i never thought of myself of an activist, i strongly feel that showing our support at this council meeting, where we'll have a chance to voice our opinion on why ecigs should not be treated as tobacco is huuuge! if you want more info, please let me know!

Try changing the coil on the t3. That's how the go out for me. the draw tightens up alot
i actually did. do you think the tube needs to be changed as well? the t3's aren't bad, but they're a bit fussy and leak sometimes. i know that people say that the SI xl batts have ego threading, but they don't fit that well. i find that the best battery for the t3's is the ego spinner, which i use at home (even though, as you know, i'm not a fan of manual batteries). depending on the juice, i keep it between 3.8 and 4.3 volts. it does waste a ton of juice though.
