Looking to buy glass tank

[cybercat]

Ok I have a Ego-T starter with smok rbc and clearomizer cone tank. I am looking at buying a glass tank instead of plastic as I am using Cinnamon juice. I am planing on buying some citrus juices also. So glass is a must from what I have read. So what would be easy and close to what I have now. I am not looking to change the battery just the tank and if I need too the coil. Thanks

There are many tanks to choose from that will work on your battery. Here are some examples: Glass/Pyrex Clearomizers and Tanks

Note: The Atlantis will not work on your battery. You also don't want to go below 1.5Ω with the replacement heads or use dual coils. Both will draw too much power from your battery.

I have friends that have had good results with original Davide clearos. I haven't heard anything about the new version, but I like the idea that it can be used with both Kanger and Aspire coils.

These work well with a standard ego..even better with an adjustable voltage battery...

Thank you that helps alot. I was wondering about the dual coils and good to know about the Atlantis too.

I have been using the RGM2s from fasttech for over a year now and have been very pleased with them as a basic and inexpensive glass tank.
You can use stock single kanger coils or fastetech coils. I rebuild mine.
I have found the tank to be quite sturdy and not easily broken.

I have broken 2 over a year when they were dropped onto concrete. None have broken from falling of the coffee or side table.

Here is the link to the review I did almost a year ago.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/clearomizers/519496-rgm2-fasttech-glass-clearo-compared-protank-mini-1-a.html

All in all I can recommend these.

Good review, that is one I have not seen yet. I have run into something close to it called the Aro from Smoktech. Looks like this will take a few days. Maybe I will get one of each since I will need them anyways. I would like to have one each for each flavor. Does anyone clean there tanks? If so with what water or something else?

 

[westhc]

I clean the RGM2s when I change flavors.

I use a pipe cleaner and hot water to clean the inside of the tank and the airflow chamber.
Then I soak the tank in cheap vodka a few hours or overnight and then air dry.
A new coil and it is ready to go.
Since it is glass, I have never had any flavor residue after cleaning.

I do the same with the Kanger mini Protanks I have. The protank 1s clean the same. The protank 2s you can disassemble and clean.

I rarely use the protanks since I now prefer the RGM2. I have 1 rgm2 for each flavor I regularly vape. At $3.32 for a tank, multiple tanks are quite affordable. It is a very basic small tank that suits my needs.

If you like the SmokTech Aro, you'll love this, Cyber...uses the same BCC heads as the Aro, too!

PBC TANK

I prefer it over Kanger and Nautilus tanks because it's glass inside a plastic sleeve - less liable to break if you drop it. Really easy to clean, too! Just take it apart, rinise it out with hot water and pop in a new BCC head!

IMHO, juice tends to burn on a 1.8 ohm head if I crank my battery up over 4 volts. But on a 2.4 ohm head, that's no longer an issue.

...
IMHO, juice tends to burn on a 1.8 ohm head if I crank my battery up over 4 volts. But on a 2.4 ohm head, that's no longer an issue.

The OP has an eGo-T that depending on the manufacturer could be fixed voltage (probably 3.7v) or unregulated (off the charger fires at ≈4.2v, then goes down as the battery discharges). In either case, given the resistances you listed 1.8Ω would be a better choice if the OP likes a warmer vape.

With a 3.7v fixed battery a 1.8Ω head would produce 7.6 watts.
With an unregulated battery (the firing range being roughly 4.2v to 3.4v) a 1.8Ω coil would produce 9.8 watts to 6.4 watts. Important to note: with an unregulated battery the discharge isn't straight down. It will generally go down from 4.2v rather quickly, then stay around 3.7v for the longest period, then start going down again.

The wattage in both of the above scenarios may seem low, but that's what you get with an eGo. If the OP hasn't vaped a variable power device it will seem fine (until the unregulated gets low, then it might seem weak). I was quite happy with my Joyetech eGo (which fires at ≈3.2v), since I hadn't experienced anything else.

If the OP can find a single coil 1.5Ω head, the vape will be warmer (9.2 watts at 3.7v), but it may burn some juices. Heads below 1.5Ω or dual coils will pull too many amps from an eGo for it to perform well.

Just so you know, low res coils (which at the time 2.0Ω counted as lol!) were originally created for low voltage devices. Most people were vaping cig-a-likes (then later ≈3.2v eGos) and LR coils allowed them to experience a warmer vape, close to the "advanced" vapers who were using 5-6v devices. Reading the ECF archives can be a treat! To the average vaper (even those using 6v batteries) going over 12 watts was almost unthinkable.

Some people soak them in vodka, but I just used hot water. I don't recommend dry burning these little clearos. You can try it, but the QC is iffy and components may burn.

 

[cybercat]

Well, I just went to local B&M and was a bit disappointed in them. I told them I wanted to change to glass instead of the plastic clearomizer. They asked me reason I told them juice I using. They said if I bought it there then plastic would be fine. I said no I am getting it elsewhere and they responded then if it melts glass imagine what it will do to your lungs. Normally this would be great advice BUT I am medical trained herbalist/ aromatherapist. Does not fly with me. Anyway what they suggested was Kanger3 dual coil. Told me it would not drain my battery that much only about 10 mins. REALLY I am not stupid. Grrr some people. I will not go on from here for I asked a few more questions and got a bunch of BS about the Aro, protank ect smaller tanks. Not sure what was going on with them but it was the owner I know not the one I dealt with first time. Not happy at all with they way he acted. So they are totally out of me buying from them now.

Warning! The longer you spend on ECF the less popular you will be in most B&Ms. They get pissy when they know you know they don't know what they are talking about.

That's the Truth!!

lol..I can't argue with any of what Ocelot's saying. But all I know is 1.8 ohms at <4.0 volts = blech! and 2.4 ohms isn't. Kudos, Ocelot. You sure won't get any of THAT info in most B&M's!

The reason I suggested the SmokTech PBC V1 (the V2 is good too - same thing but a smaller tank - 2.5 mls instead of 5) is that Cyber is already looking at the Aro, he wants a glass tank, and if he goes the PBC route, he won't need to start buying eleventy different kinds of BCC heads.

Cyber! Dude, you might want to invest in a variable voltage battery. The Variable Voltage/Variable Wattage batteries are more expensive and MUCH heavier in your hand, but that could be an option, too.

For my out and about vape, I like the Vision Spinner (the dial's easier to read than the Joyetech Twist), but there are a LOT of VV batteries out there for less than $30.00.

ECB has both PBC tanks, but they're pricier than Hoosier.

Here is some more information about my battery. It is a 1000mah. BTw I am a she. I have been thinking about getting a another battery do to roll off. Something flat sided. I use my mostly at my computer. Which has a small shelf area. So it rolls sometimes when I put it down. It has fallen on the floor 3 X so far. So maybe I should look to a better fit for me. I do have small hands and as I said I love my citrus and cinnamon juices. So I guess I should rethink this.

I do have small hands and as I said I love my citrus and cinnamon juices. So I guess I should rethink this.

A good flat-sided device is the Itaste VV V3. I have a friend who got one as her first variable voltage device and was very happy with it. It has a voltage range of 3.3v to 5v (slightly better than a Spinner).

A very nice feature it has it a passthrough. That means you can plug it into your computer and vape while it charges. You should be able to plug the USB into a wall adaptor and vape while it charges from there (other passthroughs can), but I would contact them to be sure before you order.

The only downside is that when using it without the passthrough it only has 800mAh of charge, which in "vape time" means it will run roughly 6 hours before needing to be charged (that's a guesstimation it depends on your vaping style), so it might not be the best choice if you plan to go out for a long time), but you have the eGo for that.

This is about an average price (I've seen ones about $5.00 less. but they are OOS).

Innokin iTaste VV V3.0 Battery

If a little more is in your budget ($52.99) the Innokin iTaste VV4-M Express Kit 1000mAh has some upgraded features:

It still can be used as a passthrough
In addition to variable voltage, it has variable wattage, which can be easier for beginners to use.
It has more voltage range (3.0v to 6.0v), meaning you can fine turn your vape even more.
It has 1000mAh, which will give you more run time, although slightly less than your eGo - that's because using variable power uses up more power. You probably won't notice the difference.
It can fire down to 0.8Ω, meaning it will work well if you decide to learn rebuilding/
It's available in a chromatic finish (I think it's cool, you may not )

Innokin iTaste VV4-M Express Kit 1000mAh, 15w, 0.8ohm

Overall, I think the V4 is a better choice. I didn't suggest it first because I didn't know it was out. However, if the V4 isn't in your budget a V3 would be fine. As I said, my friend loves hers.

No matter which version you choose a wall adaptor is very good add on. It will give you the freedom to use the passthrough with an electrical outlet and not be stuck at your computer.

Innokin iTaste Wall to USB - 1000mA

I also recommend another charging cable. The ones that come in the kits don't look very long. This one will work with either version of the battery device.

Micro USB Cable - Innokin iTaste VV, CLK, MVP

With my recommendations the kit comes to:

$52.99 - Innokin Itaste VV4-m 1000mAh (I might be able to find it for a little less, but it just came out and not many vendors have it.)
$6.68 wall adaptor
$1.99 Longer USB cable
Total: $61.66, plus shipping and any clearos you want to add.

I realize it looks like a lot of money, but with its features you may never need to buy another device. It's much better than what I had in the beginning, which I happily used for 6 months until I got into bigger mods. I got into mods because I became a hobbyist, not because my vape was unsatisfying.

There is another good device for roughly $15.00 less: the Innokin iTaste MVP20W. It has more power options and higher mAh, but it is box shaped and some people don't like that.

ETA: Both of the Itaste VV models have 510 and eGo threading, which means you can use any clearo/tank/carto you wish.


Edit: I have been corrected. The MVP can be vaped while charging. It's not like other passthroughs, not all of the features when vaping via the cable, but it does work.

 

[cybercat]

Thank you so much. I have been reading some on the Istick. I ran into the egrip. which I also like but is it glass juice holder inside it or plastic. Do you know? I knew I had seen something on thing on the iTaste but forgot about it. You all are great. I was at doctors earlier when i posted. Nothing serious thank goodness and a bit of wasted time too but it was OK.

Glad to hear you are okay.

You don't want an Istick as your first variable device. It is a current Hot Toy, but many people don't know the electronics. It calculates the wattage output using the voltage mean, rather than the RMS like most other devices, so what you set it at won't be exactly what you think is and it will run a watt or so hotter. My friends have also said it doesn't fair well when dropped. Also, it may not have a boost/buck chip. It didn't used to, but that may have been corrected. I can't tell from the product listings I have seen.

I was looking at the eGrip, but haven't read the specs. My concern is that it appears you can only use one kind of atomizer with it. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling I'm not.

 

[hurricanegirl100]

Ocelot's not wrong. If you go with the eGrip, you're restricted to the proprietary Joye heads that go on top of it. And those heads are pricey. With the Innokin/MVP batteries Ocelot recommended, you can put any kind of clearo/tank you want on top. Look for batteries that are 510 AND ego threaded.

I'm sorry about the gender goof, Cybercat.

OK so it looks like I have to pick between the Itastes 4 or MVP. Money is not a major concern but I do want to keep it under as much as possible. Heck I saved so much this past week not buying any analogs or anything for my ecig since I got it. Ecig already paid for it self as I am still using my first juice which is only a 10ml bottle and it is still over a 1/4 full. I am off to read some more and see which way I want to go. I love the chromatic finish.
