How should I modify my setup?

[betterthanyou]

I smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day. I've never been able to fully convert to an ecig (some decent brands I've gone through btw) as I still crave that actual smoke. I'm assuming that's a feeling/sensation I'm going to have to let go of.

my setup
ego twist batteries X2
Kanger t3 cartomizers
5 extra coils
and plenty of juice

Question 1: does adding or removing ingredients (vegetable oil? I think?) from an eliquid produce a less harsh smoke?

I am looking for huge clouds of vape, as I tend to vape on a consistent basis all day long. Maybe I will achieve this with the setup listed above. I apologize if this is a redundant question.

Question 2: The battery simply controls the voltage. or power going through the coil/atomizer. With my setup am I dealing iwth a coil or an atomizer?

Battery life is less of an issue for me, but some batteries look pretty bad .... Is that simply because they are larger, with digital displays and sometimes longer battery lives?

I think the essential part is the tank wicks and all. With my ego c twist do I need to buy an adapter to fit different tank (tank/cartomizer, I dont know the difference), or can I slap any suitable/fittable brand on?

I'm really trying to quit my 3 pack of smokes a day habit. Large vapor clouds, a good but not hot throat hit, and something that works, every time.

What would you recommend as to upgrading my setup? Even if it means a different battery alltogether? What are some of the best set ups out there hands down for what I'm looking for?

Thanks much and for the replies in my previous thread

Getting a rubuildable atomizer seems like a fix because can make a much larger coil,thus more vapor.

I believe this is off a IGO-l

Understand that with the eGo C and/or Twist, there are certain attys/cartos you cannot use on it due to it's weaker 2.5 amp switch. That may not be an issue for you but it could depending on what you decide to use on it.

Since you have not been able to quit a very strong smoking habit, most people in that situation need a higher level of nicotine in their elquid. In your case I would suggest 24mg - 36mg nic strength. If you want to reduce (to a degree) the throat hit that comes with higher nic strength liquid, I would use 100% VG eliquid which will also produce much more visible vapor.

If you want better consistency and think that might help, I would look at switching to a variable wattage model PV such as the Vamo or Zmax. Plus with these models, you can use virtually any atty/carto on the market.

What amount of nicotine are you using? The Ego twists are nice starters, though you'll probably want to go to something more powerful in the future. More expensive devices have separate batteries, they aren't built in like the Ego's that's why they are larger. Maybe using juice with more VG in it will create more clouds. I'm not sure what the big deal is about the clouds, I could care less. I just want to get the flavor and nicotine and taste is more of an issue to me.

Oops, posted at the same time as wv2win. Well said, wv2win.

an ego battery is a 510 thread, so you can pretty much buy anything with a 510 thread.

There are tons of options available for the ego skirting, and 510 threads. You can buy a rebuildable drip atty or tank system if you feel comfortable, because you can customize the coils.

If you're not quite ready to go that far down the rabbit hole, you may want to look for lower resistance systems. Evod vapes nice, kanger pro tank vapes very nice. Even the vivi-nova vapes really nice. Play with the voltage until it feels and tastes right.

Also look for higher VG liquids (Vegetable Glycerine) the VG is what makes the clouds of vapor you're looking for.

No need to rush out and buy a brand new device, just set up your device, delivery system, and liquid to match the experience you want. The beauty of the twist batteries is they're already variable voltage. Now it's just finding the exact right delivery system and juice.

I guess the point behind this long reply is.. try higher vg liquids. The higher in vg you go the more vapor you'll get. Conversely you'll also get less flavor. The PG, the second half of the mixture is what carries the flavor.

Good luck.

There are a number of attys/cartos you can't use on the eGo even if it has the 510 threading. RBA's is a good example as many use 1.0 ohm coils or lower. A standard 1.5 ohm DCC is another example of a head that the eGo can't handle.

If you want more vapor you will want to get juice with a higher % of VG or all VG. Since you smoke 3 packs a day Id probably.go with 24mg nic or.higher...and get youraelf a mod that can handle low res attys... If price is an issue look at the Vamo... to keep the heat you will be looking for start with a top coil....

which is why I said pretty much. I also never suggested he build a sub ohm coil. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone on an ego battery ever. Don't want someone to get hurt.

Nicotine strength covered? Check! More VG in the blend for more vapor? Check! 510 thread compatibility covered? Check!!

I don't recommend an RBA for a beginner, resistance aside. However that's because they are quite technical for someone not prepared to tackle it, and has nothing to do with resistance. There is nothing to stop someone from using an RBA with the appropriate resistance coil on a spinner or a twist though. Shoot for 2 ohms and see for your self.

I don't know if I would recommend 100% VG either, in any beginner level tank. Pretty thick stuff. Even a 50/50 PG-VG blend will help tame throat hit, even with stronger nicotine, and produce much more vapor than the typical 80/20 house blend.

Learning how to create big clouds of vapor is just as important as the device you use. I have a friend who can generate pretty impressive clouds on nothing but an ego bat and a cheap clearomizer.

NOTE: The video posted up above is what I like to call a stunt vaper on a setup specifically designed for... well, making youtube videos and animated gifs of huge clouds. This is far from "beginner level" stuff and in my opinion probably not used by anyone for their "all day vape". It can be done but you aren't going to get there with one post and the hardware you have.

Question 2: The battery simply controls the voltage. or power going through the coil/atomizer. With my setup am I dealing iwth a coil or an atomizer?

The "coil" is technically the heating element that does the vaporizing. If it screws on a battery and can vaporize e-liquid it *has* a coil in it. "Atomizer" is a general term used to describe pretty much any such device that has a coil in it so it's not an "or" type of situation. Specific types of atomizers might include tanks, drippers, rebuildable, etc. Your kanger T3s are techically a "bottom coil atomizer/tank".

A mod that requires batteries and buying an extra set of batteries to have set and charged ready to change. i hated having to charge my ego every couple of hours because i vaped a lot. Or a pass thru device is great too, there some decent budget pass throughs
