Chess is a sport too! Wake me up when it is over please.

Check out E Cigarette, Vape - Innokin lotsa good things over there for someone starting out. Of course it is the old what is the best computer to buy. Well what do you need it for and what do you want.
Well something portable, easy to use. Also I am looking and it seems tanks are quite expensive. I also want to be able to switch around juices. I have chosen like 6 flavors I want to try :lol:

I like these tanks. They're cheap and work on just about any mod. Coil heads are inexpensive as well.

Hi plastic. If you are looking for a decent (as in really pretty good) tank for low cost, do check out the Eleaf GS Air tanks.

Search results for: ’gs air’

For the box mod style, plus 1 on the CoolFire4. (Mine is etched by Phiniac.com and has a Nautilus Mini on top)

are they plastic or glass?

Glass. And I think for a cheap option just coming back, the GS Air is a great starting point like Kat said. Low cost (like 10 bucks for the tank) to get your feet wet, and then you can always buy something else. And it's seriously great for the price.

And the good news is, you don't need to overthink the Box Mod part. Like others have said, the Evic VTC Mini, CoolFire4, Eleaf istick 30 or 40 are all great choices. They pretty much all do the same thing now days, at least for the style of vaping that you're used to. So I'd suggest you pick the coolest looking one that you like for the price.

But, your tank is likely to be the thing that will either make or break your reentry into vaping, so give it some real thought. No pressure. I think the GS Air will be a good starting point- then you can always upgrade later without feeling like you invested much into the tank.

Or like Boden said- the Subox nano is your all-in-one with tank and mod, and is clearly being marketed for someone just like you. I've never used one, but many people seem to like them. Also note, this will give you the ability to be a cloud chaser (...don't be a cloud chaser) but you can also just vape like you're used to on it in the same way as the other tanks others mentioned above by getting their 1.5 coil. You can buy different coils, so you can choose your own adventure.

Maybe TMI, but just my thoughts to help you narrow it down.

Great! Thanks. I will get one of those. Also thinking of getting these as well. Think I am gonna go with the Kanger. And you are so right about the tanks, that has been the problem in the past which ended with me quitting vaping.

Thoughts on these?

Yes. My first thought is that these tanks are missing what has improved and enhanced our current clearos, and that's increased air flow. You certainly can't go wrong for the price of the ones you mentioned tho. I would recommend trying a GS Air, if for nothing more than for comparison's sake.

Depending on which coils you like and work best for you, Aspire has a whole line of tanks that the BVC heads, which are QUITE popular (and quite good). You'd still be missing the air flow with these (Aspires), but the coils are pretty damm good!

And the Subbox nano kit just got reviewed a few hours ago if you want to see a recent breakdown:



And links for pink and purple for a solid price: (there could be better, but I wouldn't imagine it would vary much)

Kangertech SUBOX Kit with KBOX Nano and Subtank Nano - Pink

Kangertech SUBOX Kit with KBOX Nano and Subtank Nano - Purple

Just note that if you don't have an 18650 battery, you'll need to add one. They have a link to add on there, I'd just go with the: LGHG2 18650 3000 MAH choice. Though I don't know too much about battery's so someone correct me if another is better.

So total, you'll be at around $73 bucks. They don't carry the Eleaf GS Air M tank, but you can find that most places online for around 10 bucks. Maybe get it whereever you buy your juice.

On that note, I used to get my juice with 12 mg of nicotine as a standard, and I'm guessing you may have done the same. If so, I would suggest you get yours in 6mg of nic instead to start back up, since most tanks these days are at higher wattage, which means you need to lower your nic intake, or get a headache. I find 12mg to be just too much nic these days. Just something to consider. Good luck.
