help with a mod

[Baditude]

just going on what I have ben reading I told you in the beginning I'm new to all this

Ok, I thought as much, based on your line of questions. If I may suggest, don't concern yourself with an rba or Gennie (Genesis rba) at this time. Those are much better served for use by very experienced vapors. Once you have gotten settled in and are comfortable with your first vaping setup, then consider looking into the RBA's.

Do you know the basic differences of the cigarette-looking batteries, the mid-level eGo class batteries, and the more advanced e-cigs known as mods or advanced personal vaporizers?

I think once you start getting into vaping more, youll find that anything lower than 1.5 Ohms is reaching the point of just plain ridiculous for a single coil. At .8 ohms, you would have to be using an awfully fat resistance wire, and not much of it... Two or three wraps of a big fat 26AWG wire is not enough heating surface, IMO to produce enough vapor.

There are a few arguments out there that suggest using low resistance allows you to run your battery closer to its native voltage for hotter heat levels, so it's better for the battery... Now, it IS true that you can get higher heat at lower voltage, I dont know if there is any truth to this being "better for the battery"... In fact I think it's a load of poop. Most of the new "big battery" voltage regulated mods have protection circuitry built in, which is also better for the battery...

So like I said, you will get more heat at lower voltages... But, with well built VV / VW mods out there like the ProVari (VV Only) you can put just about any coil you want on it, and its going to perform well... I can tell you this, at least IMO, a 1.8 ohm coil at anything over 5V is ridiculously hot, will destroy the coil, and destroy the flavor in your juice...

There is just no reason for anything lower than 1.5 Ohms... Again, just my opinion... Most of the folks that are wrapping really low resistance coils are most likely using mechanical mods with fixed voltage output of 3.7V. With 3V-6V variable voltage, you won't need to use LR coils to get significant heat production...

Dam, I'm sure the OP appreciates your effort, but please remember where he's at in the vaping chain. He apparently is just seeking information and doesn't even have his own setup yet. I'm sure all the lingo is going over his head right now.

Then again, maybe he's getting exactly the info he's looking for?
I'm new to vaping as well, but I'm certainly interested in all this new info. Its a lot to comprehend all at once, but I can already see that it may serve as a reference point for future searches for myself....

I suppose that's possible I don't discredit the notion that he may understand exactly what were saying either. I've always heard the dumbest question was the question never asked. So, even though he might not understand at this very moment, Ill do my best to answer the question, and further clarify if he asks for it. You never know, he may not be the only guy reviewing this thread, if even one person can benefit from our responses, isn't it worth our effort to give the best answer possible, even if the OP might be biting off a bit more than he can chew?

LoL... I''m too political...

Nothing wrong with that, either.

I guess my own focus was to get him started vaping as easy as possible, with him being new. I just tried to recall how overwhelming all the lingo and terms were, when all I really wanted was to get started vaping with a satisfactory vaping setup. I wasn't focused on what I might be doing 3 months down the line. The bottom line for me was to stop smoking.

Sorry if I interrupted whatever thought process was.

Hi - This might help. What is your total budget? I said "total," because you need to factor in everything: At least 2 batteries, delivery system(s), charger, e-liquid - whether you buy them in a kit or individually.

 

[james moore]

no limit on the budget

We have no argument here. Whatever I post, I realize that there are many others who might also benefit from the information that is presented. I can attest to that by the number of "likes" that many of my posts receive. And I make mention of that not to appear arrogant or anything. I'm quite humble by nature, as many of the people who PM for personal assistance will attest to.

Ahhhh, back on topic. You request assistance on finding a mod. No limit on budget. Get a Provari.

Go for it: ProVari Variable Voltage Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit V2

 

[Baditude]

Should you decide on a Provari, and I do recommend reading up on its attributes before spending upwards of $200 plus on one, you can literally put any juice carry device on top for a satisfying vape experience.

Next to consider would be juice carry devices to put on top of the mod to create your vapor.

Hey since $$$ is no object can we start recomending expensive cool stuff agin

Just kidding... Kidding aside, the only reason not to get a Provari is cost (I would've actually saved some $$$ if I had gotten mine 1st). I would add the 18650 ext cap and a couple 18650 batts. That starter kit comes with cartos so maybe try a clear too Vivi Nova v3's are pretty reliable and then look for some juice vendors to get some sample packs from.

This video review needs dusting off and brought back for another view:

Let's keep it reasonable, kids.

 

[The Ocelot]

A Cobra Rebuildable Atomizer would be a nice touch or a Jonboy LavaGen...

 

[Baditude]

I made some suggestions for another person who wanted a Provari. I made a list of things that I thought would make a very nice Provari setup in this thread, including links on where to get everything. Sorry to link elsewhere, but its a lot of stuff to do over again.

Thank you Baditude for all your help I will definitely be looking into all you suggested now can we talk more about cool stuff agin for very near future reference
