I've never used the evods but I never seemed to get great vapor production using single coil cartomizers on the standard batteries that don't do VV/VW. Can you get dual coil heads for the evods? Someone who's used them may be able to answer that, but if you can do dual coil/lower resistance it might be cheaper to try that at first than trying a different battery.

It might be gurgling because you're pulling hard trying to get more vapor out while that coil warms up. Could be flooding your coil which will also give you weak vapor production.

Im using evod single coil, 650 evod single volt battery, having weak vapor production,seems its taking a long time to warm up to actually begin to vape. I just purchased this kit yesterday the back up battery is doing the same thing...it also gurguls when i hold yhe button down long than 3 or 4 seconds

You might be getting some flooding in the EVODs. Take it off the battery, turn upside down with the tip in a paper towel, and blow on the end that connects to the battery. If you hear spattering and your towel picks up some liquid, you're getting some seepage into the chimney. Make sure your base is snug, but not over-tight to the tank. You might also need to remove the base and make sure the coil is snug (but not over-tight)

I've had that happen with mine. ALSO, check the battery. You might have some liquid at the top where it meets the tank. Take a Q-tip and gently swab out anything that's collected there. That will certainly preclude the battery from heating the coil consistently. Once you get cleaned up, you should be back in business.

Let us know!

One other note.... Don't drag too hard on the tank. Slow, easy draws will help keep you from pulling liquid in too fast to be vaporized. The other thing I do is keep on the drag for a second or two after I release the button. If you notice vapor creeping out the top after you've finished a pull, it will probably re-condense and leave extra liquid in the chamber :)

My eGo style batteries are either 900 or 1100 mAh, I don't remember. Two of those will keep you vaping all day, with one charging while the other's being used. A lot of people like the VV spinners, I've never used one but they seem to be good for beginners, you'll just need to play with it to find a voltage level that works with your coil and the juice that you're using.

If you want more battery life than that and digital adjustment of your volts and watts, I'm loving my iTaste MVP ver. 2. The thing will vape all day on one charge.

I'm the proud owner of some MVPs. I've been hearing some good things about the iStick, although I don't currently have one. The MVP is about the size of a pack of cigarettes; the iStick is supposed to be just a little bigger than a bic lighter. I also have a Sigelei Zmax V3 and a Vamo V6. The Spinner II is good, and stays with the "stick" form of a battery. I like the MVP because it's got passthrough (charge while vaping) and can charge other devices (like your cell phone.) The iStick is also supposed to be able to do that, but it's battery life is only 2200 maH, compared to the 2600 maH of the MVP.

There are SOOOOOO many choices of devices. Do you want replaceable batteries (which would also require a separate charger) or do you want something self-contained? Form factor, length of battery life, method of charging - biggest questions you have to answer for your circumstances. I have a buzzload of equipment now. Until something comes out that has virtually infinite battery life, I'm probably not purchasing :)

Do you by chance know what ohm you coil is? Most stock you get in starter bundles are 2.2-2.4. I highly suggest looking into some 1.8 Ohm coils for your evod, especially with your ego style battery since it's a constant voltage (3.3 or 3.7 depending on brand). This lower resistance (ohms) will produce more wattage (Heat) and in turn make the coil hot faster. This will probably also correct the gurgling issue as the juice will burn off faster. I started recoiling and rewicking about a week after my first ego purchase. Tons more flavor and vapor. Just be sure to invest in a good multimeter to check the resistance of your new coils.
