Which clearomizers or tanks I think I was using 2ohms attys
Thanks

Here's a really long story. . .

I tried the EgoT, total bust. Dry hits caused both the atomizers to pop within days of purchase. Tried it with a 510 atomizer, discovered dripping is NOT for me. Tried it with Smoktech cartomizers, got one too high/low [2.2 is too high?] in ohms, and fried my battery the first day. Tried the correct ohm carto in a tank, flooded constantly and leaked.

Bought a Boge Leo from a friend who just could not take to vaping, it also had a tank but never a dry hit and never popped the atty. Bought the Boge XL Cartomizers and found my perfect setup. Good flavor, high capacity carto, but they also flooded quickly and lost flavor rapidly. Back then it was about $5 for one. . .

When I picked up vaping again I bought some Leo clearomizers. Good flavor, taste less like filler material, but they also leak and break apart from their bases resulting in spillage all over the inside of my purse. Used my same Leo battery. Now, Boge/Innokin has changed the Leo/Lea connection to be more 510-ish. It becomes next to impossible to find my carto/clearo in stock anywhere that will fit.

Long story short, went back to ego threaded batteries, bought 2 clearo's that people are talking about right now. Evod and Kanger T3. They are great so far, just using them a few days. No leaking, no gurgling, no dry hits, really good flavor [not polyfill] sounds less like sucking air through a straw, not tight enough that you feel like you're drinking a milkshake through a coffee stirrer.

Also got a variable voltage mod on the way, want to see what all they hype is about [plus it is a thing of beauty] so we'll see how that goes. . .

I don't remember from your original post, but had you already tried clearomizers? The rebuildable ones seem like they are going to do the job for me that nothing else could.

I'm using both the Evod and the T3 at 1.8 ohm on the ego batteries and I'm really loving them. Kinda scared to use such a low ohm with the background I have for frying ego's, but I've checked "the chart" and the owner of the brick and mortar where I bought them told me these are the right ones for my batteries.

The Evod has a tighter draw, the T3 is more airy. The Evod is shorter and holds a smaller amount of juice than the T3. Otherwise they both work great!

Good luck!

ya there will be some maintenance, you may find you get "dry hits" if that's the case take some wick out, of it leaks you may have to add a bit of silica. Unfortunately there's a bit of setup with the evod but after spending 5min with it you'll get weeks of hassle free vaping out of it and depending on your vape habits at least a day out of one fill. The length of time the coil will last depends on your juice type, there's no reason you can't get a couple weeks out of a coil. With occasional cleaning i've heard of people getting months out of a coil. Good luck, i suggest getting everything working good before quitting, that way you can just vape away to your hearts content.

OK if you want REALLY simple, I would go with either the Volt cigalikes (808D thread) with some blank cartos that you can fill with your own juice, or the Joyetech eRoll (510). Both really are fill and go. Both have PCC so you can charge on the go or between vapes. You will have to fill your carts, but if you fill more than one nightly, you should be good to go for just about anything.
This is basically what I was going to suggest as well.

If you're looking at it with simplicity and cost, there's little better as an all around compromise as a Volt(or other reliable brand) auto batt 808 and either prefilled cartos if you honestly like their flavors or empties and your favorite juice.

Since you seem to have mods and the such for home as well when you're looking for bigger and better, an 808 kit with a carrying case about the size of a pack of stoags that holds and charges 2 batteries and maybe some extra carts would be the way to roll. Gets you through a whole day wherever you are and isn't high maintenance or bulky.

Right now I'm finally just "upgrading" to some VV Ego's, but I've been vaping for about a year and a half now with nothing but my Elite 808, empty carts and my favorite juices and although not always completely satisfied, I am personally never actually disappointed. The only inconvenience for me is when I forget to charge the batteries as I'm too stupid to buy a PCC haha. I should have grabbed a Volt as well, just because there are times I'd like an auto batt. But overall, personally I've been good just with this.

All the stuff that's better then the slim batts can be great and all, but I feel like people have mainly missed the mark on what you were asking in this thread, although I guess a small to medium sized Ego with some carts is solid as well, but will the battery die on you at some point during the say and the case or whatever you carry it in gets bulky and inconvenient?

Just wanted to say the eroll is not a 510 connection, it is its own thing, so if you get an eroll, you have to get the atomizers and whatnot that work with the eroll, you can't just put anything on it.

Anyway, just get a vision spinner and some kanger evod tanks. Me and my girlfriend started vaping at the same time, I have a bunch of variable wattge/voltage stuff and lots of tanks for myself, but she doesn't care about all those extra goodies, and prefers simple. I got her a vision spinner, and she uses my evod tanks. Simple as simple can get, she fills it up I'm guessing about twice a day, and uses the same battery all day. Has been using the same evod for days now and hasn't changed anything, just fills it up. Battery lasts her about a day and a half, I have a couple of joyetech ego-t batteries for when she has to charge the vision spinner, but you could just get 2 spinners so you don't have to change batteries or whatnot, just keep one spinner fully charged while the other you use.

Here is a great deal to get the vision spinners: http://www.myvaporstore.com/Vision_Spinner_Joye_Ego_C_Twist_Combo_p/vvs-c.htm

you get 2 batteries with that deal, either 2 spinner, 1 spinner and one ego twist, 2 ego twists...whatever you want, and you get 2 clearomizers also, you can pick 2 kanger evod ego clearomizers, which is what i recommend. I have rebuildable atomizers, rebuildable drippers, drippers, bunch of different tanks, and I still use my evods all day and haven't touched the other things. Just something about them that is a great vape. So anyway, I would go to that site, select 2 vision spinner batters instead of the ego twists, and select two of the kanger evods clearomizers, and you get a charger and wall adapter also for 70 bucks. EDIT: I just looked actually and they only have the spinners in pink right now...soooo yeah you might have to wait a little bit lol if you don't want pink that is. you can just select 2 ego twist 1000mAh batteries also, the twist and spinner are basically the same thing, so either one should be fine. either of these batteries have the 510 and ego connection also, which is what the bulk of any tank/clearomizer/cartomizer/whatever has, so you would be able to use it with pretty much a lot things if you want to get something else. the 808 connection like people are saying does not nearly have as many options anymore.

And a 90 mah/50 puff battery. . .

That doesn't help Either.

I can handle a Small mAh battery. Sometimes it's nice to just drop a PV in a Shirt Pocket for a quick trip to the store or what not.

But having a Tiny Battery that doesn't work with all my 510 Stuff is Silly to me. Might as well just by a 510 Battery.

What is a dry hit? It's it no or low vapor? These are producing a lot of vapor but I am getting a huge throat hit is that normal
Thanks

A Dry Hit is when the Carto/Clearo/Atty doesn't wick fast enough and the wick goes Dry.

When the wick goes Dry, there isn't any e-Liquid to transfer heat from the Coil Wire to. So the coil Jumps up in Temperature and gives you a Nasty, Burnt Hit.

Think of it like when your simmering Spaghetti Sauce on the stove. As long as there is sauce in the pan, everything is fine. But if you pour out the sauce and put the pan back on the Stove, your going to burn the Little sauce that is left in the pan.

Do you remember that time you lit the wrong end of your smoke? That is what a dry hit tastes like to me.

Here is what I think of when I get a Dry Hit.

are blu"s any good?
If you're asking if Blus are any good--well, it depends on how much you smoke, etc...for me I used Blus with my other slim 510s for a long time...just didn't like having to charge the battery every hour, lol...it just sounds like you want something that lasts all day and that you don't have to mess with..why not a Riva 510 or Ego-C and a simple clearomizer? Good for all day, and just fill the clearomizer?
 
Lol one question, twenty different answers. Welcome to the world of e cigs.
Lol...exactly..what works for one may not be what will satisfy another. Most important--if you find one GOOD one, keep that as your main source, and dabble with the others ;) Working on getting the new Evo C with a Kanger to add to my collection..will be smiling then!!

I think you'll be happy with an Evod kit. The only maintenance I do is rinsing the coil every couple of fills. After 3 or 4 weeks, the vapor production and TH drops, and I just chuck the coil and start a new one.
