Glowplug me and you would definitely be friends if you knew me. Clarks juices do have enormous flavor and vapor production. It is kinda strange considering I carry two flavors at the same ratio and NT out clouds everything else I have. I bought an Aspire not a nautilus but the one under that and it is a really nice paper weight. I had problem after problem with that unit, flooding, really harsh draws, and a lot of spatter through the tip. Then again YMMV, I love my EVOD and it produces a great vape all the time. Personally I will probably never buy another Aspire product. I do like Kanger stuff and have been contemplating on the PT2. IMO it seems pretty bullet proof and popular to boot.

My best luck with Clearos has been...well all of them now that I have aero bases for my protank 2's. The Protank minis are my favorites, Aspire is coming up close (I have the nautilus, and just got some aspire Vivi Nova-S BDCs, loving them) . I like the Kanger Aerotank too. iClear 30s has been good to me but they mute flavr a bit. The only one I haven't liked is this danged iClear 330 x.1. far too airy. I'm a big fan of cartotanks as well. They're my favorites.

Revco I have seen a lot of the people on Youtube use that type of yarn. With that kind does it fit right inside of the coil or is there manipulation involved? The cotton does seem like a good idea for the Kanger coils in any form. I appreciate the advice about the high wattage though. Now on another note what does Betelgeuse taste like. Is it worth a buy and is steeping required with it?

Sorry for the delay. This yarn works well in coils down to about 1.5mm or so and can be pulled right through, which is mostly all of the coils that I do. (It's probably about 1.3-1.4mm or so.) If you're doing a micro/nano coil in a Kanger, that's usually 1mm exactly, so it's a little big for that...but if you're just wrapping around the cotton, it works fine. Off topic, but I'm trying to source some #3 cotton yarn to try in 1mm Kanger micro/nano coils, which I've found I prefer for vapor production. Hope that helps.

Betelgeuse is epic, my NT weakness for sure and probably the one juice that was responsible for my head-over-heels love for Nicoticket. It's definitely worth a try, probably the most distinctive fruit vape I've found.

I would also recommend the Kanger mini-pro over the ProTank. I have both and my ProTank sits in a box, unused. I found it to be finicky at best and a pain to get perfect...I spent hours trying different things and could never resolve all it's nuances. Compared to the mini, which pretty much takes whatever I put in it without trouble, let's me vape it dry, works pretty much 100% of the time, rarely leaks and has been my go-to mobile setup for quite awhile now. The only thing I want to do to mine eventually is upgrade the o-rings to something a little more decent...but I can't seem to find the right size.

Cheers!

So the mini pro tank it the way to go huh? I need something a little better than the EVOD, I have no problem with it just a little small. How much juices does the mini PT hold? Enough for a day? I am just looking to upgrade from my evods.

1.5 ml and you may need an adapter to have it work with your mod. Mini Davide is similar, if not the same.

I run my mini-Pro straight off my MVP (and other eGo style batteries) with no troubles, no need for anything. It's a "small" tank (1.5ml), but effortless to refill. I have seven of them for reference, so that tells you how much I like/trust them. I usually carry three to get through an entire workday without refills.. If/when you get into rebuilding, you can really make the coil in these shine...but it's decent enough stock and gives room to grow/perfect as you get further into vaping.

I'm paranoid about breaking the glass on these, but I can tell you that I've dropped mine on *concrete* at least three times from chest height without breakage. (YMMV, maybe my sidewalks are soft.) Overall, I've been super happy with the investment and as I've grown into coil builds, the platform has provided the means to get an excellent vape from a small profile. The only other I think is worth considering is a Nautilus Aspire (which I'm just barely getting into), but I can pretty much assure you these wouldn't survive a direct shot to concrete.

Kent I actually have been looking into dripping and RBA's. Only problem is for what I do I don't think RBA's are gonna work due to there nature. I need something that pretty much works all the time. Any recommendations for a good rebuilding tutorial?

Here is my buddy Bill's Video on the Igo-L, great vid. Really simple. They are reliable - they just take some time to get used to (IE, not overdripping, etc)

Dieselrick, I have had nothing but problems with my evods. I am one of the few folks in the world that had leaking, gurgling and juice in my mouth no matter what I tried. I have found that the Pro Tank 2 and the Aero Tank by Kanger are both very nice vapes.

My favorite is the Aero Tank. Just got some heads from Fast Tech and they were actually a reasonable price. Nice capacity, air flow control and great flavor. I also got a Kayfun 3.1 in that shipment but I haven't tried to build it yet. I drive truck and I need a reliable delivery system because I will change heads, refill my tank and change batteries while I drive if I am having a problem. I am a baaad girl. This is why I am so fond of the Aero Tank. Lasts for several hours without a refill and I vape pretty heavily.

I have an Aspire Nautilus coming in soon and I am hoping it will be another good alternative. I have heard so many stellar things about the taste and reliability.

I have always gotten huge clouds of vapor from Clark's liquids. Do not understand why since I use a lot of the same pg/vg ratios from other vendors and never get the same results as the Nicoticket liquids. It is just awesome sauce. Nice to see you are enjoying the Naki's blend. Right now I have Be Mine (the NT Valentines flavor) in my Aero Tank, 2.0 ohm stock head, 8.5 watts on my MVP2. Good stuff.

You have some Be Mine left? Lucky... mine, is all gone. (pun, intended)

Clark is a bloody genius , I went through a mega fruit / dessert eliquid phase and no one IMO can touch nicoticket for that, my tastes have changed but I've just experienced the genius of his skills with another eliquid.

I remember saying in some of my earlier reviews how it takes an exceptional palate to capture a flavour , he's got it.

Hats off to him. :)

Have been letting a bottle of Doodle steep for nearly a month and I am getting that ginger snap flavor that I hear people talk about. Fantastic, Clark. I'm impressed even more.

Some people really like it (the Gingersnap effect), but I really don't get it unless it's deep steeped or it's in the KFL+ (slightly sub-ohm)... I'd like MORE of it but then it wouldn't be a Snickerdoodle Cookie. May have to bust out a Gingersnap sooner than later.
