Joined this forum through frustration, can you help?

Hi all, I'm new to the forum

just wondered if I could start a discussion regarding tanks / clearomizers?

Been vaping about 8 months now and loved it until my local shop decided they were no longer going to stock
my favourite tank. Since then I have not been able to get a tank I am happy with, I'm at the end of my tether.

I mainly vape menthol versions of fruit flavours, example I'm currently vaping tuti fruity but with menthol.
what I look for in a vape is preferably a cooler vape although I don't mind slightly warm, but not hot.
A fairly airy draw rather than sucking an egg through a drainpipe. A really good throat hit and nice flavour

Ive tried all sorts of tanks and can't seem to be able to get that now

Kanger T3 = Great vapour, not so great throat hit and absolutely rubbish flavour
Innokin I clear 16 = hands down the worst I have tried, everything rubbish on this
Various from totally wicked = Never again
And tons of others

The next in line I'm considering is the vivi nova mini, what are your. Thoughts on that?
I probably would have already ordered one to try but I'm struggling to find any on UK sites
That are real and not fake?

Some people really rate vivi novas (including me), but others dont like them - you will get a warmer vape with them though because the coil is at the top and i find the draw tighter than say a kanger protank (again, i like a tighter draw).

I usually buy from here and never had any problems...

How would you rate the flavour in vivi novas compared to others please?

 

[Choc_Addic]

There are a few folks here that loves vivi. That being said have you tried BCC such as EVODs? Protank mini, Protank 2 etc...

I don't know sites in UK since I'm not residing there. But most stuff I get direct from china. FT.

Cheers

It's a personal thing and i am sure there are people who will tell you otherwise, but i really like them for flavour (better than the kanger protank for me). I have the Vision Vivi Nova STV (steel tube with viewing window) and it's been great. I use cherry menthol in it quite a lot and i'm very happy with it. When i say you get a warmer vape from it, it's nowhere near hot - just slightly warmer than some.

I loved the look of the pro tank but was put off by the short bottom coil so never bought one

I was afraid that might have something to do with the muted flavour on the T3s?

I've spent a fortune on tanks upto now, almost makes me want to start smoking again.
I just want to tank I am happy with :-(

Since your local shop stopped selling the product, does that mean it is no longer in production? Try to find where and who makes them and if they still do. That may solve your problem. What kind of tank was it?

I'll add that link to my favourites to check out later

Thanks for the welcoming

I think the vivi has to be tried then. A shop in town sells them but I'm not sure if they are real,
What's the best way to tell?

I was hoping to get one for this weekend rather than ordering online and waiting until next week

It was something they produced themselves, didn't look like much but boy was it good
It took everything you threw at it and never stopped working, I only replaced it for hygiene reasons

My last one was still going strong 3 months on and still working when I binned it

 

[BAH77]

Out of everything I've tried upto now the Kanger T3s has been the winner...

It just lacks nice flavour, that's all I have to go on really

A bit of fiddling around with tanks and looking up advice on here will help you loads (it has for me). The first tank i got, i was flooding it all the time, it leaked loads, the flavour didnt seem to come through, but after learning to take smoother longer drags, not overfilling, using a voltage that suited me and loads of other factors i now enjoy vaping far more.

There are some bad products out there, but even some of the good ones need a little tinkering with and a bit of knowledge on how to get the best out of them before you really get to enjoy them. I've still got loads to learn, but it's definitely worth the effort.

And - I've found the vivi nova very easy to use and required no fiddling with as long as you dont overfill! For newer users, the top coil tanks seem harder to flood / less likely to leak.

BAH, as you are in West Yorkshire, you aren't exactly a million miles away from Vape Escapes Shop in Heywood -

Contact Us : Vape Escape

If it isn't too far for you, you could pop in & try out different tanks etc.

Without seeing the box it comes in, it would be hard to tell. The vivi nova box should say vision somewhere on it and a kanger protank box would say kangertech on it - maybe just ask to look at the box

There is a vendor in the UK that makes what is know as the Unique tank. here is the link for the ecf forum
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modder-accessories-supplier-forum/403787-unique-tanks.html

Take a look at the first page for some examples of his work. I am not sure I can post the link to his website here, but it you are interested pm me and I will get it for you. These are totally re-usable and the only thing you would toss is the carto. The top and bottom caps are re-usable forever or until you break em.

It might be helpful to give the Kanger T2 a try as well. I find it has more flavor than the T3, and it has good capacity. I also prefer a warm, not hot vape, and for some reason the T3 runs hotter than the T2 running stock 1.8 ohm coils. Refills are easy as well. Good luck finding a tasty setup!

 

[bingo6104]

Only thing I don't like about the Vivi is ,if you lay it on its side it floods. If its a real Vivi it will say vision Vivi Nova on it I think? I like my pt2 over the Vivi

Have you tried a vision spinner or ego twist? You can adjust the battery which will cause you to get a cooler vape. That way, the tanks that you have on hand won't go to waste

 

[elwood2]

Try a Kanger Evod with all but 1 of the flavor wicks removed. If the flavor still isn't there, and it's not leaking/gurgling, remove the last flavor wick and give it a try.

I remove all the one flavor wick on all my Evods and I've never had an issue except much more vapor/flavor!
