Ok well I will try to group all of my question so there not all over the place.

I now have a smoov rev and a vision spinner? The both consistently do this blink thing in the middle of my hit and end the hit and they are fully charged. 1.) What is the average life of these type of batteries. Also after vaping these, I can try using my ego but I feel like I am trying to hard to get a hit. Both of my batteries are set around 4.3. 2.) Is there a better batter for the job? 3.) Could it be possible that my battery voltage is causing my burnt, no flavor tastes?

The tanks I have been using is my Aspire BDC, then I was told that the Aspire BDC doesn't mesh well with my spinner so I got the Smoov and the Evod.

4.) How often should I change my coil? 5.) Is there a difference is the size of my coil? 6.) Is a top coil better than a bottom coil?

7.) What is a drip tip? and how is it used? 8.) What is a atty? 9.) What is a carto? 10.) What is a clearo?
11.) What is the best type of wick? 12.) Why are some wicks long and some short? 13. )Which helps produce long lasting results?

And my last and final question....
14.) Is there a setup out there that is a beast, easy to keep up the maintenance, coil rebuild is not too difficult? And mostly won't cost me a fortune.

Thank you so much for any resposes.

A possible answer to your last question: Aspire Nautilus with some kind of mechanical mod clone. You could be set up pretty nicely for under $50

1. Sounds like a cutoff. Most devices have a 10 or 12 second cutoff in case the button is being pressed in a pocket or purse. Some of the cig-a-likes are only 8 seconds. I've had similar batteries die in 6 months and I've had them last a year and a half. Usually they just die completely. I don't think your battery is crapping out, but it is possible.

2. Check out the iTaste MVP.

3. It is possible. I don't know the resistance of the topper you are using. For a common low resistance coil 4.3 can be a little high. It's just a matter of whether the wick can keep up with the amount of juice you are vaporizing.

4. Usually the flavor decreases, vapor decreases, or you can get a burnt taste. It really depends on the juice you are using. Sweeter juices "carmelize" on the coil. A little tastes pretty good, but too much will taste nasty. Most clearomizers I've used have given me about a week of use, but YMMV.

5. I'm not sure what you mean by size. If you mean resistance, yes. With lower resistance you need less voltage to get to the desired temperature. The best idea is start around 3.5 and slowly increase to find the best vape. If you get a dry or burning flavor, back it down.

6. Bottom coils are generally preferred because gravity aids in the wicking and you can use all the juice in the tank.

7. A drip tip is just a mouthpiece. They have wide openings allowing you to drip juice through them. In the early days an ecig had an atomizer and a cartridge with filling. The cartridge was stuck on top of the atomizer to alllow juice to drain in. It wasn't that great and people realized they could drip their juice right onto the atomizer. Dripping was born. But we needed a mouth peice because atomizers get hot. And we wanted on that we didn't have to take off to drip more juice. The drip tip was born.

8. Atty is an atomizer. Just a coil with a small wick through the middle. There are different forms for different devices, but inside they are all this basic thing.

9. A carto is a cartomizer. It is an atomizer with filling wrapped around it and housed in a tube.

10. A Clearo is a clearomizer. These are tanks that hold eliquid and some kind of atomizer attached. Sort of a cartomizer without the filling.

11. Organic cotton is the most popular for people who build their own coils, silica is usually used in commercially available atomizers. EkoWool is also popular among some rebuilders, it is similar to silica.

12. In the top clearomizers I think the idea with longer wicks was that it would get juice all the way to the bottom of the tank. It never really worked all that well, though. Gravity has something to say about where liquid will flow.

13. None of them in my opinion. A week or two is what you should expect.

14. The Kayfun/Russian is the best, IMO. There are tons of tutorials on how to build a micro coil for these. Local vape shops can set you up as well. After that you can just replace the cotton wick once a week or so and not mess with the coil.

Looks like they have a cut-off time, they always stop at 5 seconds? 7 seconds? Some models stops after a few seconds so as to not overload the ecig. You might want to get another model which has a cut-off over 10 seconds or not cut-off at all.

1.) What is the average life of these type of batteries.

They're probably Lithium-Ion, 2-3 years is quite safe to say, they will still work after but won't keep the charge as long as when you bought it.

Also after vaping these, I can try using my ego but I feel like I am trying to hard to get a hit. Both of my batteries are set around 4.3. 2.) Is there a better batter for the job? 3.) Could it be possible that my battery voltage is causing my burnt, no flavor tastes?

Yes it's possible, what is the ohms of your atomizer? If you're vaping at 4.3 volts, the ohms should be at least 2.0 and above. Reduce the voltage and see if that helps.


4.) How often should I change my coil? 5.) Is there a difference is the size of my coil? 6.) Is a top coil better than a bottom coil?

Change the coil when you feel it doesn't work as good as when it was brand new, it takes a few weeks of vaping to notice the difference. Top coil and bottom coil, there isn't one better than the other, just a different vape experience, experiment and find your sweet spot.

7.) What is a drip tip? and how is it used? 8.) What is a atty? 9.) What is a carto? 10.) What is a clearo?

A drip tip is put on an atomizer, many different types exist. You put your mouth on it to vape. An atty is short for atomizer, it has a simple heating coil, no tanks. A cartomizer has a filler in it, they can hold more liquid. A clearomizer has a coil that can be change, mostly comes in tanks, very popular nowadays.

11.) What is the best type of wick? 12.) Why are some wicks long and some short? 13. )Which helps produce long lasting results?

Everyone has their personal preferences, there's no right answer, I like cotton and ekowool in long wicks.

And my last and final question....
14.) Is there a setup out there that is a beast, easy to keep up the maintenance, coil rebuild is not too difficult? And mostly won't cost me a fortune.

I'm still on that task after 4 years, I'm getting closer every year but it sure not as easy as just going to the corner store and buying a pack of smoke... The easiest setup today is a clearomizer where you can just change the coil heads. Or if you like cartomizer it's even easier, just throw it after put on a new one.

Your questions were still "all over the place".....
I now have a smoov rev and a vision spinner? The both consistently do this blink thing in the middle of my hit and end the hit and they are fully charged. Use time out 10 seconds for most APV's...

What is the average life of these type of batteries. Varies with care cleaning and proper charging. 2 months to a year(ish)

Also after vaping these, I can try using my ego but I feel like I am trying to hard to get a hit. Both of my batteries are set around 4.3. The ego is set for about 3.3 volts. Using a lower ohm coil (1.5, 1.8 or 2 ohm) might allow you to get a better "hit" at the lower voltage.

Is there a better batter for the job?
Always, just depends on what you are willing to pay and to hold in your hand.
Could it be possible that my battery voltage is causing my burnt, no flavor tastes? Yes, and using coils that are too high or too low for the voltage you have set.


The tanks I have been using is my Aspire BDC, then I was told that the Aspire BDC doesn't mesh well with my spinner so I got the Smoov and the Evod.
You will have the same problem with all three of these ego type batteries. They don't have the long term power to handle the Dual coils

How often should I change my coil? Depends on use, juice and cleaning. I have coil2 and cartos that can go for weeks with only minor cleaning, some that need dry burnt every week and some that just don't make it past a day.
Is there a difference is the size of my coil? Ohms, Would need to know what ohm coils you have.
Is a top coil better than a bottom coil? Up to you. I hate the taste of top coils. A friend I turned on to vaping hates bottom coils... Each their own..
What is a drip tip? and how is it used? The top of the juice containing device that you put into your mouth.... You would need to have a device that requires a drip tip and it's a simple "plug in" to the top of the item.

Wow.. I need a break.. LOL

Thank you all so much for all of your helpful answers. To answer what my ohm coil is. In my evod it is a 2.2 and my Aspire, I have 2 coils that I don't know because at the time I didn't know. As a matter of fact I didn't know there was a coil to change until I had stopped by my local B&M to pick up a new flavor and the guy and I were chatting. He informed me. But anyways, so I picked a iclear16 today. And still a somewhat burnt taste is what I get. So I turned the battery down to 3.3, still same thing. What can you use with these type batteries?
So basically I keep changing my coils and changing tanks and really their all probaly fine. It's the Smoov and the Vision killing my vape?

takes time to get use to vaping, maybe it's your nicotine which is too high, maybe it's the liquid, cut down the PG and get more VG liquid. At 3.3 it's so low that it should be vapable. Since you we're at a B&M, ask the guy if your device is working properly, maybe you had a bad atomizer. But I highly doubt the problem is your vaporizer
