Thanks everyone.
Letitia, yea single deck is what I'm looking for but more for power conservation (battery longevity) other than difficulty assembling as that shouldn't be an issue for me. Very good question on draw. If you had asked me right after I got the Nexus I'd say I'd want it to draw like a regular Marlboro Light. But now I don't really know/care as I've experimented with airflow on Nexus and I seem to be versatile from almost closed to wide open. Consistency in density and nic dosage is what I'm after, or so I think at this point in time. If that's a pine tree that eats battery power or single coil, that's what I want. I should, in my mind, be able to accomplish this with single coil between 10 - 20 watts.
There are several tanks that fit that requirement... I don't care much about single or dual coils myself, but I'm more for the Consistency and leak proof. Right now, I am using a
Fresia RTA, it's a single coil RTA that is 22mm, and it might fit the bill for ya. there's also something called a doggy style, but it's airflow is not adjustable and it has a plastic tank (I prefer glass). There is also the
Siren 2 which looks appealing, but I have no experience with that atomizer, so I can't say if it's good or bad.. but it does look like it fits the bill as well.
Why haven't I saw a tank with a duck bill type vent requiring a cmH2O or so of pressure differential to open? IMO this should provide better wicking yet still prevent flooding.
I would imagine it has to do with Ecigs being portable. They're shoved into pockets and experience every sort of temperature variation, atomizer orientation, and liquid viscosity, that one duckbill vent can handle. They do use somewhat the same principle on some atomizers, and those are the ones that tend to leak juice into yoru pockets.
It's the holy grail of RTA's to find a good atomizer that works in all situations, so keep that in mind when you start rebuilding.. it won't be perfect. There will be a learning curve no matter how much you try.. what works on one atomizer might be different on another of the same style/type. The Siren/Fresia for example that I listed above.. they're almost identical in design, but they may wick and vape totally different due to slight changes.. build deck size, glass diameter, chamber size, airflow, etc....
Thanks again everyone, sure you'll be hearing more from me : )
Oh, currently using 6ml/ml 70/30 tobacco (red classics). I did have the vap shop put a touch of bourbon in one bottle and I like that...when flavor/effect is consistent. So will experiment with cigar flavors I'm sure.
No problem I usually hang out in the new thread to help new people. My main vape is one of those box mods, due to simplicity, but I do have an E-pipe and mechanical tube mods I use occasionally. my next purchases will be a Mod101 style (tube looking ecig) mainly for looks, and a good dual battery mod for ecig longevity. If I had to offer advice, I'd say look into getting a good replaceable battery mod and a good battery charger, so when your battery dies, you just pop in a new one. Oh, and always have a backup mod and atomizer.. so when one breaks, you're not running to the store to pickup some cigarettes while you wait for the mail truck.
