Hi All

[Ca Ike]

You can add me to the former smoker turned vaper list Thanks to a friend giving me his spare batt and a really good local B&M vape shop I think I'm more hooked on this than I was analogs. So many good flavors, so little tank space. The problem for me is getting consistent vapes so I still have some trials to get through. I've already switched to an ego twist from a set volt ego and find that better since you can control the coil temp through the voltage for different juices. Gone from plastic top coil cleros to using a carto tank and mini protank 2(2.2 ohm coils work best on this for me)

I may get into mod like a pro vari or evic later on but for now the easy travel of the ego set up fits since I'm on the road 8+ hours a day and cant drip while driving anyway. I know the protank coils can be rebuilt and I already retune every factory coil to fix the inconsistent winds. I build heating coils for various types of heating systems in my work so its not a big leap for me but I can use some direction on what to use.

Are there any RBA tank atty's that can be used on an ego and are similar in size the the protank? I have some 28awg and 32awg Kanthal A1 as well as some 2mm silica and some ecowool to start experimenting with once I get some protank coils stocked up for rebuilding. Is there anything else I should have or things I need to do with the wick before I use it in a coil? Any specific brands of wick material that are best to use?

I should add that I'm a flavor chaser and don't care about mimicking a theatrical smoke machine Nothing irritates me more than a flat overcooked hit.

Wow! What you've already accomplished. Seems you should be welcoming me on board.
Sure glad to have you here. Know what you mean about looking forward to flavor first.
That does count BIG time in my book.
Well, a Big Welcome to ya... and look forward to seeing more of your posting.

Thanks Oldseer. I have to credit my local vape shop for setting me up well. The main guys there are big time flavor chasers and not "reaching for the clouds". I like the protank mini but the poor QC on the coils is killing the consistency. I've had them hit well with great flavor and vapor and not hit at all but heat up the base so much you can fry an egg on it. The carto is my goto right now just because its more consistent but the protank when it works right has better vape and flavor.

I should tear apart my bad coils and see what I find and maybe do a write up.
