I like the dual could stainless steel smoktech cartos. This mod can run them over 5 volts. For attys I just recommend the cheap vaporking joye 510s and 306s because they are cheap.

As far as testing flavors, you can drip on this mod, just don't squeeze the bottle. In between flavors just vape some straight vg or PG until the old flavor is gone the drip a few drops of your new one.

Hope this helps!

I would get some boge carto's ... i prefer dripping to cartos and i find DC's a little too spicy...The great thing about this bottom feeder is the VV as Stownz says can handle LR and HV too.
But because it is VV (and a very good tech VV too), you will have a hey-day with any and all resistances, and SR 2.4 to 3.2 Ohms are right in the middle of the spectrum, meaning you will be able to vary the voltage on them to get various vapes.
This hold for atty's too.. and since it is a bottom feeder, you will want to get some "good" atties.
IMO although there are some good "bottom feeding" atties, out there, SR 510 are your best bet..
Because it's a bottom feeder doesn't mean you don't need to know how to drip; it's the same thing; learning how much juice, and how much voltage to resistance is still a factor.

Pm'ed and waiting for notification.

Hoping to be a proud owner soon.

After reading all 47 pages, more lost than ever.

I'm completely out of atties and only have like 2 DC Mega cartos left so need to restock.

Any recommendations? The i06? I was planning to get 306's and try the new SS Liquinator. I had the original Liquinator and I would leak when chain vaping, does the SS dissipate heat better?

And off to read more. Thanks all.

All the liquinators I have vape the same and don't leak. I attribute this to the fact that I DO NOT put a nail against my cartos then slam them with a hammer. I know people are paranoid about possible metal dust getting through the polyfill, but I'm not. I cut them all with a dremel, even used the bench grinder at work one day cause I left the dremel at home :) I bought the ss liquinator for bling, that's about it.

I'm just gonna recommend joye 510s and 306s from here on out I think. Feels better when a $5 Atty blows instead of a $9 one.

I've gotten good use out of an Iken Lr i06 1.8 and you can vape it low to mid range voltage with good results.
My favorite atty overall is a 901 SR dse, but many don't get the hang of 901's....

hey if you want a kick azz LR 901 that works on a bottom feed, try the Smartvapes LR 901 1.5... at lowest voltage on Sgt, it kicks ....!
Their "dripping attys" 510, are closed end, but man they are killer too... the LR's. The HV 3.0 seems a bit airy but very good too.
(no bridge, no wick, bigger ceramic coil).

Generic SR 510's, LR 306's should work great on the Sgt.

No idea, it would be fine for the first 2-3 hour and than it'll spring a leak.

Swap cartos, and the same thing would happen (after 2-3 hrs of good vaping). I always attributed it to a heat issue.

When I mean chain vaping I meant I was going through maybe 7 ml of juice in those 2-3 hrs.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Jeebus gonna be a long wait. Anybody know if the Map edition drip shield is worth it? Should I want for the metal one?

I'm thinking about picking up a few 901's just to have more variety.

Edit: I loved 901's for flavor but they always lacked TH. Gonna try some HV 901's and see if it works.

I like Boge LR 2.0 or SR for a full vape, with a little less TH, and also the Iken Fusion carto's... both give super full flavor in the Liquinator and i've had no leaks. you will need a 801 adapter for the Fusion.

evil, i like 901 because it gives flavor, vapor, and some th... you need an adapter for them...
best prices VaporKings in bulk but you'd want to try em first.

I chain vape too, but you'll be best with a couple good PV's... so when one gets hot, there's your other PV loaded for bear.

where was the leak? from the connector or the tube?
If the connector i would suggest there's too much liquid in the carto?

Going to ordering a SS liquinator to try again.

Leak was from the connector. Even with the the Liquinator fully closed and after blowing out the excess juice if the carto was hot and I opened it up the slot a little bit, it would just start leaking. Let it sit and cool down and it would stop and I could use it again till it heated up again. I guess 5 cartos could have been bad but dunno. I just assumed it was a heat issue since it cleared up by swapping cartos and letting them cool.

Is VK really the best priced place? Maybe I'm not adding enough items. When does bulk start or is it only the bulk category? They're missing the atties I'm hoping to get mostly the SR.

Still need a place to find protected batteries.

So far

SS liquinator + 5 slotted dc coils + 5 slotted 510 cartos + 3 slotted kr808 cartos (for kicks) + 510 -> 901 adapter from Vaporescence.

The Map drip shield from empiremods + the 306 XL drip tip to use the shield with.

Just need atties/bats/juice.

Probably getting a bunch of 510/306/901's. I'm back on analogs so guess having more is better at this point. Unless I'm blind VK doesn't have bulk on 306 SR.

Thanks all.

valuevapor has a good selection and prices for attys too. Good Prophets too.

I've had a lot of PV rigs over my time vaping, spent a lot of money in search of that set-up that will forever set me free from any temptation from cigs. This one brings tears to my eyes, I just like to watch them. Young lovers are so fantastic to watch, the innocence, the raw passion. It evokes something in me, something I have been missing all these years.

Aren't they just beautiful?

They sure are, Stownz.

Know what else is beautiful?........

I went to a wedding in SC this past weekend and let a friend of mine use the Sergeant for a few hours. That was it! He expressed interest in switching to an ecig and was insistent on having the same one as me. So....the next morning, we ordered him some alien visions juice, some cisco attys, some aw 14500s and......wait for it...........an Army Tank!!

This guy is switching to vaping in style! No wasted time with slim cig batteries. Straight to the Sergeant!!

Woooooo! I love it!
