Looking to Upgrade and Need Suggestions

[Erudite]

I started out with a Nicstick tank and a couple of batteries and am enjoying it so far except for two problems: the batteries seem to be constantly on the charger and it seems like filling the tanks loses a ton of juice and makes a big mess. What do people recommend for upgrade? It seems like the pass-through Ego battery would be pretty cool (1000mAh seems sufficient and there's always the pass-through if I run into a wall -- any idea what the NS tank is using?) The big hang-up I have is about the tank+atomizer or cartomizer question. What do people use for "out and about" use? Some seem like cool units, but are a little too standoutish for my tastes

Help!

Hello & welcome Erudite

First of all, are you in Lincoln UK or Lincoln USA? it will make a big difference to what links we give you, plus some models have different names in the states to the UK

But wherever you are, I'd recommend a Riva/Kgo/ego kit as your first upgrade

 

[Erudite]

Sorry - Lincoln, NE (USA). The thing I'm not seeing is a full kit that uses the Ego pass-through battery. I suppose for the time being I could use it on my NS tank atomizer since it's 510, but I suspect that there are WAY better choices out there. I've heard good about the fluxomizer and the stardust, but there are so many choices that I'm getting overloaded (it's hard enough trying to decide what juices I'd like to try )

I second the KGO.

Elite Vaporworks KGO Starter Kit with Boge LR Cartomizers - KGO

KGO's are small enough they work well for out and about. The battery will last you ALL day.

As for what tank system, I'd suggest the ViVoi Nova to someone just starting out with tanks.

If you are looking for an eGo passthrough, here's a good vendor.

Genuine Joyetech eGo PassThrough 1000mah 3.3v - BLACK [gotvapes-joyetech-ego-PT-black] - $22.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

Looks like they sell fluxomizers there as well. I've heard more good things about the fluxomizers than I have the Stardusts.

Edited to add: The link I've given you for the passthough has what's called an inline battery. These are safe to plug into your computer. Passthroughs without an inline battery you're safer to use with a 2 amp wall/USB adapter. Wouldn't want to blow your computer, then you couldn't visit us! lol! The way to tell if a passthrough has an inline battery is by this: If you can unplug the unit and keep on vaping, it's inline battery. If you can't unplug it and use it, then it does not have an inline battery.

Hey, a fellow Lincolnite. Welcome to ECF! You should come say hello in the Nebraska forum: Nebraska Vapers after you get 5 posts and wait an hour for the server to update.

Here are a few passthrough kits:
eGo passthrough E-Cig Personal Vaporizor 510

Empiremods eGo Passthrough Starter Kit

You could also grab a couple of passthrough batteries and grab an assortment of cartomizers, clearomizers (like the fluxomizer, stardust and phoenix) to give yourself a chance to try them all and see what you are going to like.

The ViVi Nova sounds NICE, but looks HUGE. Does anyone have an image of one connected?

Another question. On occasion, I've gone for clove analogs. Anyone have a recommendation for a good solid clove juice?

Here is one on an 1100mah KGO battery. Won't be much, if any, difference as far as the diameter of the battery compared to an eGo bat..I personally don't use the Nova on my KGO bats, leave it for the bigger PVs.

 

[Erudite]

Oh good - I'm not the only one here from LNK - there aren't by chance any good places to get gear or juice here or OMA, are there? Will pop over after I'm out of quarantine?

Yeah, those look cool, but probably not for out and about use in LNK

They get top heavy and a bit too awkward on the slimmer batteries, for my taste. I do like the Vivi, just not with those bats.

Yeah, pop on by the forum there, and I will give you a run down. When you get your private messaging going, I'll send you some information!
