Looking for suggestions

[Saundhaus]

So I'm not even a week into my transition to vaping and I've made a few discoveries.

1. My Halo G6 is nice and does the job for a night out, but the 280 mAh batteries don't last long enough to hold me through the day.
2. I like tanks over carts, but the 1ml mini-tanks aren't enough without a refill when I'm out or driving people around for work.

So I'm looking for suggestions for the step up. Sure, being that I like Halo's stuff I could just move on to the Triton system, but I see lots of gear that's the same or better for less. Here's my criteria for what I'm looking for:

1. Longer battery life.
2. Stay in the tube shape [It's a person thing, but the boxes don't look right in my mind.]
3. Is there such a thing as a quiet tank? I sound like I'm trying to take a big hit off a .... with my little G6
4. Easy draw. Sometimes I feel like I'm overworking myself trying to take a hit from the G6.
5. It's got to have style. [Because, well, look at my avatar.]

I like the G6 and I think it was a good starting point and I can see taking this out with me for a few hours out at a party, but if I'm going out to some longer event I'll need at least a 650 mAh batter or maybe even a 1100mAh battery because I can tell when the battery starting to die on the G6 as it's harder to get a hit [is that a voltage drop?]

I've gotten good advice so far from everyone so I'm figuring you'll do it again for me.

Thanks,
Eric
P.S. So far Halo's Longhorn is my favorite ADV.

If you don't want to go too big you can get an ego. They come in 650mah-1300mah. They're a little bigger than the halo g6 but you can get tanks that will hold a lot more juice.

Hmm, well avoiding a box mod style (MVP2 is the best bang for the buck on a step up) you could do a VV eGo like a Twist with a vision vivi nova to have battery life, power and a quiet tank. It is not the best ever set up - but a decent upgrade for a reasonable price to move to from G6. I would say a cartotank - but they are noisy lol. If you have a little more to spend you could consider something like a Sigelei Zmax as well.

Hope this helps get you started!

I am only 10 days into vaping and have an Ego with a few tanks- Evod, iclear16,vivi mini nova bdc and a protank 3. I seem to enjoy the vivi mini nova bdc the most now but at first I preferred the evod. I know most people would say I'm crazy for not saying the protank 3 is the best out of them but I just feel the vivi mini nova works the best on the ego. I do love everything about the protank 3 except that I do not believe the ego is doing it justice. I don't have much knowledge about how variable voltage works but I have a feeling the ego isn't heating the protank coils up enough to produce a heavy vape because when I put the protank on a provari and a local brick and mortar it worked wonderful. The ego I have is a clone and not variable voltage so I think thats why it can't heat the protank up enough. I have a provari on order so once it gets here I will see. Another word of advice, if you can afford to purchase a "higher end " vape then do it, you'll save money in the long run then buying multiple vapes and working your way up to a top vape. Ego clone was purchased without knowledge and I should have done my research earlier !

without breaking the bank i would suggest an evod starter kit. 2 batteries ,charger, 2 tanks,five extra coils and it comes in 8 matching colors (style right?). my lady friend has been using these exclusively for 6 months while i spend a ton on high end items ;- ).

ElectronicStix.Com · Kanger EVOD 650mAh Starter Kit nice people, fast shipping and real time customer service!

hope this helps. <*}}}>{

I've seen a lot of people talk about the EVOD. Is the EVOD specific to Kanger or is that more or less just a style? Also can you swap tanks and parts on that one?

the sigelei zmax v3 is an awesome, inexpensive tube mod.

i assume there are knock offs but stick with kanger if you go this route. it is a brand not a stlye. replacement coils can be found cheap by the 5 pack, much more expensive at a B&M. i thought it met all your requirements and @ $40 plus shipping it literally can't be beat IMO
best of luck.

Just grab an ego 1300a that will last 12-16 hours..they cost $7 at Fasttech and U will have it in 2-3 weeks with free shipping of orders over $20..

$6.98 1300mAh USB Rechargeable Battery for EGO-T E-Cigarette at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

BTW..your clearos/tanks are all fine. just need a better battery like the 1300a..I have/use and sell this particular battery for over 1 year and they work like a champ..

 

[Saundhaus]

I see B&M mentioned a lot. What's that stand for?

Oh and can you use the same charger for a 650 mAh battery and a 1300 mAh battery?

The evod is made by Kanger originally, but I suppose there would be clone evods that are labelled EVOD but not labelled Kanger because they are not made by Kanger.

The miniprotank is basically a pyrex and steel version of the EVOD. The downside of the miniprotank compared to the evod is it does not come with a metal jacket around it; wierd isn't it; the plastic evod comes with a metal jacket, but the glass miniprotank doesn't.

There's the Smoktech ARO, which is pyrex covered in a metal jacket; it is a pyrex version of the evod; it is harder to find though; it also comes with a non replaceable metal mouthpiece; the miniprotank2 has a replaceable metal mouthpiece, and well as replaceable glass tube.

+1 for this. I've had tremendous luck with Innokin products as well as Kanger Tanks. Hell, I still use my original protank! VV/VW is always a bonus for finding that sweet spot with your juice, and well...this little setup is pretty sexay (and affordable)!
