Hi everyone! New to vaping!

HI and welcome. Sigelei is a pretty good brand name; I'm not surprised you're getting it warrantied. If I were picking a new, two-battery mod right now, I'd probably lean toward a Sinuous Predator 228. I have one and I like it. (There are, of course, many others, but I was leaning toward the "reasonable quality, don't break the bank" type). I am also very fond of the Reuleaux RX200, but this is a three-battery mod. They have others, like the 2/3, which can be rigged for 2 or 3 batteries, but I don't have one so I can't comment. Neither do I know much about pre-fab coil tanks as I have wound my own coils for years. I do know the various "Beast" tanks from Smok are well thought of in that area, despite being allergic to trying one. One caveat: if you ever intend, or want to try, coil building, the Beast tanks have an RBA that is alleged to be finicky to build on and would therefore not be a good place to start learning. As to batteries, I below append @Mooch 's chart, so you an see what batteries he recommends. I personally lean toward the LG HD2Cs or the HE4s. Other good choices are the Sony VTC5, VTC5A and VTC6, or the Samsung 25R or 30Q cells.

Thank you so much for the chart and your recommendations! This is all very helpful!

I like Eleaf tanks with EC coils, but not the Melo range. (sigh).
Last few days, the iJust S tank on either Sigelei 213 or Smoant Battlestar.
I quit buying Smok years ago.

In your opinion why did you stop buying SMOK products? If you don't mind me asking.

When you get back a replacement mod, certainly use one of the batteries on the recommended Mooch list as @djsvapour posted. I wouldn't worry too much about the fact it can run at high wattage as you don't have to use it that way, and get the benefit of a dual battery mod having longer run time. For a tank, as already mentioned, it's your preference. You can look through the tank section on this forum for some experiences and opinions of what would work best.

If you do have a check atomizer notification, there's a problem in the connection between the tank and mod. If it doesn't resolve with something simple like a loose coil, best to just stop using it and head over here for some help.

Thank you very much! I appreciate all the help!

Don't. The Qbox has a very small battery and with a tank like the baby beast (or big baby) it will not last very long. You're better off with any other mod and whatever smok tank you'd prefer (or any other sub 0hm tank tbh)

Again stay off the Qbox it looks nice but that's about all there is to it imho

Okay. Thanks again!
