Help needed before I return to the pack

[sketchness]

What I am saying is that all the coil assemblies for your tank in the various resistance (1.8, 2.2, etc) levels will look the same from the outside. You won't be able to just look at one and say oh that is a 1.8ohm. You would have to see what is stamped on them or what the packaging says.

What tank do you have?

 

[orchidmoon]

actually YES lol. The wick comes out both sides. Looks just like the coil head replacement for the kanger T3s (or kanger protank, unless the T3s are smaller in size then i bet that is the one . For a starter, I actually liked it the first several weeks. But since I am now looking for another entire system I don't know what type of coil system to pick let alone tank etc. Just know I need bottom coil/wick but didn't realize other styles

 

[ReigntheGamer]

From my limited experience those coils are ok to start with but really not that great. It is what comes standard in cheaper clearomizers, I have had a few when I first started but once I got the Nautilus/Nautilus mini it was night and day. I am not familiar with the Kanger's/coils I don't have one but I am sure someone will come along shortly and get you headed in the right direction.

Edited: I love the Nautilus/Mini both and would happily endorse them as a good starting point. The BVC's are really great awesome flavor and vapor in a nice looking package.

 

[sketchness]

if you are looking for a whole new setup: mvp2 and a nautilus or naut mini are great. My only knock against the nautilus is that I seem to go through coils fast. Certain liquids are just coil killers.

And before you dismiss the mvp2 just think you can go a whole day without charging and when you are charging you can still use it.

 

[orchidmoon]

I was just stuck on not wanting dual coils

 

[orchidmoon]

I'm just thinking I'd hate a mod. Dont think I could stand even holding it with 'my' hands to be honest. I was just thinking instead of purchasing another 650 (stick design) I'd get a 900 or 1100. Tho that wouldn't matter I suppose since I'm thinking I'll have two batteries regardless. It looks like I need to decide on a tank and coil system. I didn't consider other coil types before until it was mentioned above i'm using basically a 'starter' type coil/wick. which I liked fine the first month. Just after knowing it was time for a second 'everything' since one system doesn't cut it. Battery dies then I die lol (or I will if i keep with the up and down nicotine levels in me when my battery needs to charge because I'm getting on my kids nerves

Welcome orchidmoon. Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble. I certainly would recommend a 2nd (and maybe even a 3rd battery.) There are a number of "stick" style batteries that are pretty good. The Spinner II is a longer-lived battery which does allow you to change the voltage somewhat to change the characteristics of your vape. There's also the iTaste VV3 - it's about the same battery life as your current battery, but it's also variable. It's considered variable voltage/variable wattage. I tend to like variable wattage because I can usually pick a spot, and no matter what tank (topper) I use, I don't have to fiddle much.

Please see the blogs here: E-Cigarette Forum - Baditude - Blogs Baditude does a nice job of explaining terminology and defines things in such a way that can be more easily understood. It was a tremendous help to me when I first got out here.

I don't have too many different types of tanks, but I started primarily with EVOD tanks. They use Kanger single coils. Those vary between 1.8 - 2.5 ohms. As one of the previous posters mentioned, higher ohms will yield a "cooler" vape. I personally like about 1.8 ohms - gives me lots of flavor and vapor, but they will drain your battery slightly sooner than the higher-ohmed coils.

Depending on the coils you got, they may or may not have the resistance stamped on them. You would need some sort of reader to tell you the actual resistance.

However, once you use a coil for a bit, the eliquid will start to "gunk" on the coil. Two major results: the coil resistance will increase, and your vapor/flavor production will decrease. You might be able to extend the life by soaking in a little pure grain alcohol or unflavored vodka. You might also be able to dry-burn to remove the "gunk". Otherwise, you'll just need to remove the coil and replace with a fresh one.

Keep coming back with questions. We'll do the best we can to lend a hand.

Do not get a mod! Don't get anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. My problem is that I switched to a mod-dripper thing back in December of 2013, so idk what is available out there.

How about a Vision spinners, plus the Nautilus mini, and replacement coils for the mini?

I'm linking to a store I've never used, but it's the first I could find. idk if they're any good, or if the prices are decent. This is just as an example; search online:

Order the tank Eigate Aspire Nautilus Mini - 2ml

Order 5 replacement heads for the tank, at 1.8 ohms Atomizer head for Aspire Nautilus BVC (V2)

Order a Vision Spinner Vision Spinner 2 Battery 1600mAh You already have another battery you like, so you end up with two batteries, one good tank, plus replacement coils.

Or something like that, lol!

 

[sketchness]

Below is a link to the Nautilus full size. It is a little big to me but holds 5mls and this one comes with a couple of bonus free coils. 5 pack of replacement coils is 12.99. Not sure about shipping cost or promptness from this site but it gives you an idea. The adjustable airflow gives a nice airy draw that I like. Or you can close it way down and take a mouth to lung type of draw.

I understand ohm's just fine. Just that there is no way of knowing what I was originally using that i did like so much since it's not stamped like it should be. My handful of issues is simply #1 not knowing what coil/wick to get so I can continue using my 'starter' battery & tank as I was. #2 wanting a second system and it's so hard to decide because a. my 650 battery of course wont get me through the day and when it's charging (hopefully IT will be my 'backup' when I find something a bit better) So hard to decide since I was more concerned with what battery to get before worrying about my tank and system. Now of course I am worried about the type of coil is best before picking anything. I'm about to toss a bit (small amount, very small amount lol) on an entire new 'starter' kit even tho I'm past the 'starter' since I'm more confused than I was 2 days ago. Wow, I've never confused myself this bad before

 

[sketchness]

mvp2 is worth a look not that big 4.21"L x 1.61"W x 0.86"D. or the iTaste. both are listed below 25-40 and the mvp2 comes witha starter tank probably similar to what you have been using. And they have an ohm reader that would be very helpful as it will tell you what is connected.

[orchidmoon]

Okay, so i'm not really about to order an entire new 'kit' of anything. Just a point to get across that I'm feeling too overwhelmed to do anything right now but I need to order something fast. I can't use my tank because I don't have any coils/wicks so I have a $4 ce4 clearomizer on my excel battery (it's probably not great but it works and has for 2 months ((the battery I mean)

 

[DingerCPA]

O.k. How about getting something like the EVOD tanks? They use a pretty standard kanger single-coil head. They are eGo threaded (which should be the same as your ce4s) Kanger heads are pretty easy to come by. http://www.hoosierecig.com/Bottom-Coil-Clearomizer-tanks_c_73.html has EVODs for about $5.50 each, and the replacement heads are only $1.50 each. That might get you by until you get a chance to evaluate what you might really like.

Sorry, wish I was more help

Try going back to the brick and mortar store.

1. Buy another battery. Any ego style will work. You just need an extra battery so that you always have a fresh battery available.

2. Show them your tank. Let them know that they sold you the coil now in the tank, and that the vape is not satisfying for you. Let them take a look at it. Maybe something else is going on other than the coil.

Good luck!

So are you looking for coils for your CE4 clearomiser?

The CE4 clearomizers I have read about are disposable -- you can't change the coil. Can you take your tank apart and replace the coil?

 

[pokemom]

Orchidmoon, do you know the name of the bottom coil tank that you use? Many tanks come with a coil installed, and the description of the tank will sometimes tell you what ohm coil is included. That may be a way to find out what you had.

There are several good bottom coil tanks that take the type of coils that you are describing. Tanks and coils are like coffee, everyone has an opinion on how strong it should be, what the best brand is, and how best to brew. If you liked the set-up that you had, stay with that set-up.

Have you tried unscrewing the coil from your tank? Try screwing it back in, but only until it "stops." See if maybe you over-tightened the coil. If that happens, they don't work as well and vapor production can be stalled.

Breathe, there is a lot to take in, but once you find something that you like and works for you, it is a wonderful thing.

sounds like I made it sound like i 'use' ce4s. I do NOT. I am at this exact moment using one (the only one i've used other than trying my daughters a few months ago) Only because I'm without a car (first time in my life and needed something quick the other day in the half hour time frame my daughter had before work to give me a ride to the shop close to my house. They were out of coils/wick for what I use. Of course right.....So actually grabbed a cheapy $20 kit with a battery/ce4 and charger since my charger suddenly quit on me. I dont need to order a cheap tank when I can go out this week when my daughter has a day off, and get new wick for my tank. I'm looking to order a battery like I mentioned having one doesn't cut it. And a better tank system than what I have. With all the nautilus tank talk I balked at the 510 thread once I realized that it has that. Puts me back to having to look at different batteries and started my overwhelming confused brain to have my son give me a few cigs. 7 weeks not one cig until now. total bummer

You had said that you started off with an Excel Pro kit. Is this the one you meant? http://www.excelvapes.com/store/pro...id=40&osCsid=b9e1ed8557bbbd0d27d9e21a13ab47f4

If it is what you have, they sell coils for that tank on that site http://www.excelvapes.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=24_33&products_id=79

 

[orchidmoon]

hahahahhaa (sorry but ....) oh NO hon, I know a ce4 is disposable! It is what I am using temporarily while I find a new tank and coil system! lol WOW you really thought I was an idiot didn't you lol I originally got a new coil/ wick for my tank and it wouldn't work. (actually got 2 new ones) neither would work oddly so I actually put the original back in and it worked a while just not as great tasting of course it was way over 3 weeks of heavy use, surprised I ended up getting well over an extra week out the original! Had to continue on like that until my daughter had a quick moment last week to take me to the shop to get new coil/wick and they were out of them so bought (i wrote this above somewhere) the ce4 (just bought entire starter kit because i needed a new charger also and the addition of a battery in the kit made the total the same as if i grabbed 2 ce4's plus a charger. Since my car as in the shop it was my only chance to get out. I also had spent the last few weeks or so knowing I needed a better system entirely. Being stranded w/o a car is killing me so I tried to order replacement coil/wick and was trying to figure out what was same as what I was using since my starter system wont name them other than as their own but I do know kanger is compatible and was trying to figure out which of the two. Guess I just haven't had anyone stumble along that is understanding the problem there. As for attempting to find a new tank and coil system I'm also thinking of just throwing darts at the wall and making another choice. The cost may accumulate as time goes by and I'll wish I just continued buying cigs but seems it's gna be easier that way. lol

Ok, so from what I have understood thus far by your original posts. Your happy with the tank you have, and you would like to upgrade your battery. As far as battery life goes.
650 will give you approx. 3-4 hours. I have 4 of them. I have 2 ego style cheap ones, an EVOD battery from Kangertech,and a Joyetech eGo-c Twist vaiable voltage.
I would suggest when you are ready go with either a Kangertech 1000 or a Joyetech 1300-1600. With batteries the higher the number the longer it will last.
Doesn't always ring true with the variable voltage.
Depends on what ohm coil you run in your tank Lower ohms=more battery drain. Due to higher wattage. So with a standard set-up, 650mah battery, 1.8 ohm coil = short day with the battery. You may how ever get away with a second 650 for your needs.
Hope I was helpful.
