I think dripping has ruined vaping for me.

[edyle]

So I bought an Igo-W so my friends who just started vaping can try all my juice. Decided to try it for myself. So I built a 1.2 ohm microcoil with a cotton wick.

OH. MY. GOD.

The flavor is so intense. The Vapor production is absurd. It's absolutely the best vape I've had so far. I can't enjoy my normal setups anymore because the flavor is muted now.

Here in lies the problem. I can't drip exclusively. It's just not possible. I work 12+ hours a day, every day. I stealth vape at work all the time. With the vapor produced by the Igo, I'll never be able to vape at work. Which means 90% of my vaping will disappear.

I'm now dripping exclusively when I'm home, but I seriously wish I could get the flavor dripping provides, without the superclouds so I can drip at work . I don't mind the clouds at all when I'm home or out and about, but work is a no go

He's going to stop making the VV versions - but there's one for sale for $140 right now in the classies. ;-)

Maybe he's make one that screws onto a standard regulated mod.
That would sell alot more reos..... oh but then he'll be even more out of stock all the time.

Although I can vape in my office, clouds of vapor won't do at all. So at work, I stick with either an eGo T type set up, or at the most, the iTaste 3.0 vv with a pro tank mini. For me, its all a matter of balance. At home or relaxing, I pull out the VTR and RBA...at work, I vape what will be least noticeable.

I'm going to look into this. Thanks

You're scaring me dude... i just ordered my first IGO, this will be my first dripper and my first build. am i going to be ruined too????

dude, if you dont mind, can you post some pictures of what your build ended up looking like with wick and all???

i will be getting my stuff tomorrow hopefully.

 

[SamNapolitanke]

how does the drippable tank work? is the coil constantly submerged? that would not work would it?

If you're anything like me, lower your expectations at first. Building coils is a skill, it took me a while to get a single coil working right, and then moving on to a double, then I drilled out the air holes (Dremel ...), and experimented with wick, and how much is enough...took me a while to get the hang of it - now it's a lot easier. It was the same for rebuilding Kanger heads - the first one seems like it took an hour to do, now I can do one in 5 minutes. Some guys have a knack for it, i don't. Lol. I'm over it. My next rebuildable will be decided on over it's posts, those little screws and holes on my IGO-W are seriously pissing me off.

And, try different types of coils - start with the simple wrap, with no wires touching, then try a micro coil, then a dual micro, and once you can build them reliably, go for the more exotic dragon coils or whatever rip tripper is hooting about this week. Once you get it running right, it's great, but don't expect to get there first time.

The KayFun and Russian is a chamber under the liquid (More accurately it's surrounded by the tank), it's gravity fed to the wicks through small (really small) channels in the base, below the coil clamps. The Genesis style, like the Kraken, have a long wick that sticks down into the tank.

I don't have one myself; I only heard about it a few weeks ago;

That picture shows the parts; with those parts you can either put together a dripper or a tank.
The thing I am not sure about is if you put the tank together whether you can take the tank part off and use the dripper easily, then put the tank back on.

now im thinking twice about trying dripping. im fine with my protanks and such....i dont need to ruin a good and convenient thing.

OP, +1 on the Reo suggestion.

Also, a tip on stealth vaping: take a mouth to lung hit, hold it in for a second, then before exhaling, inhale clean air (a double inhale). Stealth vaping will never be as satisfying as blowing some nice clouds (lots of flavor on that exhale, am I right?), but the nicotine hit is definitely there.

might as well recommend rebuildable tanks (kayfun or genesis style) over a reo so you can keep using your current mod (whether mech or vv/vw) and save some money. instead of having to squeeze a bottle, you don't have to do anything. fill up and be good for the day. convenience of a cartotank with flavor of ...well however you want.

A Kayfun is better than a clearo, but not by a mile. The Kayfun essentially is a clearo with a much better design and actual build deck for coil experimentation. While I agree this would be a step up, any tank system is not going to perform the same as fresh juice applied directly to a coil using almost no wick, 2-3 puffs at a time. The cat's out of the bag, the OP has discovered actual dripping. There's no cooked/heat wicked juice, and that's the critical difference in taste and performance. Plus, them Kayfun type tanks are damn near just as big as the Reo itself.

Please don't be true. I won't have enough for a Reo for several months. That will upset me lol

Tis' true.

He is working on an 18650 Grand that fits a Kick 2 to replace it. If the Kick where to ever get updated, or fail, you'd be able to easily update/replace it. The new Reo would still operate as a mechanical without the Kick in it, so you'd never have any "down time."

As it stands, you can use a Kick 2 + 18490 battery on the current standard or LP Grand. IMO, that's a much better and more flexible option than the current VV Reo. The more you build coils and use RDA's, the more I think you'll find you won't exactly miss "variable anything," and looky there you have a bullet proof 18650 mechanical Grand. Regulation on a Grand is better suited for people using/looking for that sort of vape experienced with higher resistance standard cartomizers and atomizers.

save yourself some hassle and get a reo... trust me... its worth it... all the joys of dripping without the hassle of dripping just a squeeze...

Hahaha spoken like a true sir Wicked. Listen to this guy, he's speaking from experience. I remember when he first popped into Reoville flat out asking: "Okay guys, sell me on the Reo." He was worried about battery life on a mechanical, all sorts of questions.

Ya think he's sold?

Lol You might be ruined

I might be able to get a few pics of the dual coil I made (came out to 0.8 ohms) but I tighened one of the screws too much and broke the leg of one of the coil off lol. So now I'm only running a single coil.

I also drilled one of the holes out to 5/64. It's a VERY airy draw, so lung inhales work flawlessly, but it also works really well for mouth to lung, but only if you don't mind an airy draw.

 

[edyle]

Some Genesis type tanks are also rather easy to use as drippers;

- pop the top cap off
- drip directly on the coil/wick
- pop cap on
- vape

Yeah I stealth vape all the time at work (including while writing this post lol). Just recently realized that inhaling again further reduces vapor lol




As long as the Reo will accept the Kick, I'm ok with it. Mechs may give straight DC power, but they're only hitting around 3.7 on average. (I've never actually used a mech personally, so be nice lol. This is only what I've heard and read). That's why ohms are talked about more on mechs cause you can't change the output without a kick.

I pump loads of power through my microcoils. The one I'm vaping on right now is a 1.2ohm microcoil on a Protank Mini 2 (since I'm at work), on an MVP 2 firing at 5 volts. On my Vamo V5, I fire at 6 volts on the same coil. Using the ~3.7v output of a mech on the same build would leave me unsatisfied (I think).

 

[CShaver]

Here ya go SamWise!

Here is the Igo without any coils. I honestly didn't think it would be this small. I have big hands and at first it was a little hard to work with.


Here's the dual microcoils I wrapped.


Here is the first dry burn. (the coils became more even the second time lol)


Here is the cotton in place, all juiced up and ready to go!


IT'S ALIVE!! lol.

Lol, I way prefer my REOS over my Provari topped with my Kayfun. In fact, haven't touched it in over a month. The REOS just work, my Kayfun requires too much "fiddling" for my liking.

But that's what's great about all our choices. There's something for everyone!

and that is awesome.

i'm just giving some options since he won't have the funds for a reos for a couple of months. a kayfun or genesis styled atomizer is just something he can consider that will meet his needs. a kayfun may require fiddling for you, but for many, it's as easy as building a microcoil, inserting some cotton, screwing together, fill up, and vape. takes less than 5 minutes. genesis tanks will probably require some fiddling, but once you get it right, you don't have to touch it for months (if using mesh). from his pics of his dual coil build in his igo, looks like he'll be just fine using any rebuildable.

provaris and reos aren't the answer to everything. they definitely aren't for me. i prefer my drippers at 40+ watts of warm, dense, awesome flavor.

I really appreciate that. Makes me feel like I'm on the right track.

Would you believe me if I told you that dual coil build was only my 3rd build ever? Coils number 3 and 4. My first one ever was also a nice, tight, micro. I think I found something I'm finally good at lol.

Yes, it is as easy as building a coil - I build them all the time for my REO's in no time flat. But I can also change out my flavor in less than a minute with my REO's, and simply cap off the un-used juice to use later, but not with my Kayfun's without tearing them down, and I'm pretty much dedicated to one flavor until I empty the Kayfun (I don't like wasting juice).

And unfortunately, I get dry hits far too often on my Kayfun Lite +. I've tried short wicks, longer wicks, make sure I'm not blocking the channels, lite cotton, thicker cotton - no matter the build, I get dry hits and have to take primer puffs to re-wet the wick.

I want to love my Kayfun Lite +, I really do - but I can't seem to get it dialed in where I can vape an entire fill without getting dry hits (and leaks, I hate the leaks when I first load it up)

AWESOME... thanks so much for the pictures man...
