While I agree the Zenith is a versatile af atty I don't agree that dl is too much for a new vaper. For many of us (myself included) mtl just doesn't work. This is why I recommend the Kanger Toptank and now the Zenith. If I had started With the STM I would not have dual used for more than a week or two rather than five months. I am not overly fond of definitive statements when it comes to vaping outside of safety issues. I try to remember to not make them but do forget from time to time the further along I get into my vaping journey.

Hello, everyone!

Just wanted to thank everybody again for their help. I got my Breeze 2 and nicotine salts last week and tonight around midnight will mark my one-week-versary of not smoking cigs. Doing pretty well so far (first 3-4 days were rough but much better now) and I have complete confidence that my cigarette habit has been kicked for good.

You guys are doing a great service to smokers who want to quit. It bears repeating: thank you so much for teaching me about vaping and vapes and helping me pick a mod/pod that fit my needs. I'd probably still be smoking and suffering from analysis paralysis if it weren't for you guys.

tonight around midnight will mark my one-week-versary of not smoking cigs.

When I started vaping...and completely quit smoking...I tried hanging out with NON-Smokers...because the Smokers' breaths, clothes and their smoke smelled pretty bad...

But...I quickly was reminded that the NON-Smokers were (on the whole) somewhat BORING people...whereas the Smokers ("risk-takers") were (on the whole) the INTERESTING people...

So now I tend to hang out with the Smokers...(while vaping, of course)...and the smells seem to be becoming less annoying over time...

:2c:

Congrats on your first week and glad it's going well.

I do agree that some folks just prefer MTL smaller higher nicotine setups while others just gravitate to DL setups and that is what works for them. Whenever a new vaper can AFFORD it, I usually recommend starting with a relatively basic two battery mod with removable batteries and trying one of either type of tank. It's kind of the only way to know for sure what type of vaper you may want to be (although some tanks, like the Crown Uwell do at least offer some pretty robust coil variety) but the thing is, it's just not entirely about resistance, it's also about draw and airflow, and etc. To be honest, I think it's worthwhile trying both types of vaping, or at the very least, trying ANOTHER WAY if you are struggling with either a MTL setup or a DL setup.

I think the tendency of many vapeshops to push in the sub0hm direction may or may not be doing SOME folks an injustice of a sort. I mean, we do get folks showing up at ECF saying "my setup is not working" (I was one of those vapers) and without ECF intervention I am fairly certain I wouldn't have made the transition I did.

It's frustrating to be told "spend more money" and etc, especially early on and I 100% get that and sympathize but I was not enjoying my "Quit" that far, and I don't think I would have even had I kept going a while longer as I consistently didn't enjoy tanks I won that were supersub0hm I don't even enter those competitions so much any more, I mean I'm like, "I know I'll hate it.":

And then there are vapers who like MTL for stealth reasons, and those who sort of cross the gamut and etc. IDK. I do think it's worthwhile to try both styles of vaping, even if one is a very inexpensive tiny sort of thing, if nothing else, well you have a backup in case your preferred setup dies and etc.

I would never buy batteries from anyone but a respected battery centric vendor. If buying a 21700 device why not use a 21700 battery? Longer run time is a worthy bonus.
Sorry. Late seeing this but I already had the batteries from another device and I am on a fixed income. I will buy the 21700 when I can.

Since you already bought a small device I will that recommendation off but I would stop worrying about ttc so much 1 I don't think there is any tc coils for true mtg tanks and you'll have some much other things to worry about like which coil,what watts, and what air flow works best for you to add more to try and figure out. Once you figure out wether you like mtg or do better then start thinking about tc and start your research then
