OKAY - Don't you 2 live in the same house ? ? ? :blink:

me thinks you're getting Fran mixed up with Janet.

OH Yea - Beside holding more e-liquid, what other qualities does the larger versions of the Zenith/Zlide have that would make them a benefit to have ? ? ? o_O

I don't have any Zlides so can't talk directly to your question. But the Zenith comes in a variety of sizes/capacities to meet your needs and or match up to the mod you want to use it with.

Zenith D22 - 2ml capacity, 22mm diameter
Zenith D22 - 3ml capacity, 22mm diameter
Zenith - 4ml capacity, 24mm diameter
Zenith Pro - 5.5ml capacity, 24mm diameter.

We have all of them and the only one I'd say stay away from is the Pro. 1.) it's BIG and 2.) it's a bit noisy (air flow noise) when drawing on it.

The 4ml version is our favorite and most used. If you want something small, the 2ml version on something like an iStick is a really small setup to put in your pocket or purse. I use the 2ml's on Provari mini's but feel like it always needs to be filled with such a small capacity. The 3ml versions are just sitting in the vape stockpile incase we want to use a Zenith on a 22ml diameter mod like a Radius or iStick.

Vape gear is just so confusing .. I get the urge to upgrade on a regular basis, yet I always end up abandoning even trying .. because, it's just so confusing ..

While I'm still hittin' my antiques, I do wish somebody could tell me ::

Best Tank
Long Lasting Coils
Best Mod to Pair it with
Beat deal on the above ..

I think most everyone here has settled into what they like .. so, cough up some info and help a Brother out .. o_O

    I love the 4 ml Zlide (Innokin) and I love my Zenith (think 4ml). They both take the same coils and the coils do last a long time. The Geekvape solo is a nice solid pv

    Gosh, Willie, you don't ask much ;)

    Best tank, I think every vaper has their own best, dependning on needs, aka style of vaping. For me, a low power mtl tootler, I still use my antique KF2Ls, and more recently the Coppervape Skyline, which vapes about the same, is just as easy (and forgiving) to build, but adds both juice and air flow control and is top fill.

    Coils, well, I don't use blister pak ones, only rebuildable.

    The Solo Fran mentioned is a very nice mod, seems to be pretty reliable and solidly built. Seems there was a post in some other thread, recently, about a sale on it, but can't seem to find it. :(

    I believe the ones I have are the 3ml capacity, 22mm diameter Zenith & Zlides . . . Using them on Innokin's Adapt/Cool Fire IV and now the Kroma R (See picture below) . . . I'm happy with both of them, so NEED to upgrade . . . Was just curious . . . THANKS for the info . . . :D

    Herein, I think, lies my problem .. my Antique gear works for me .. so, I just am not interested in going on a time consuming / money consuming quest of experimentation with this and that ..

    I am MTL, I am a chain vaper, I only use Menthol / sometimes a Tobacco flavor, never use anything but as clear a liquid as possible, at around 6-8mg .. I don't like the giant tips on tanks, and, I'm a cheapskate .. one of my main drivers on going to the PV years ago was the cost savings from the ever escalating price of cigarettes ..

    I am likely to never want to build a coil, this is not a hobby for me, it is a lifestyle, I live by the KISS method in most all things .. (although I have replaced wicks) ..

    The cornucopia of Gear that's out there is just Mind Bending, all seemingly touting themselves as the best thing since the Taco was invented ..

    I'm MTL also and been known to chain vape. I recommend you try one tank, the 4ml Zlide and get one box of coils. The coils last a very long time. Put the tank on any pv you have now. You will like it. If you can get that far then we'll discuss pv's.

    "My" ECF Friend - I was and am no different even today . . . Also, I would never ever push anyone to change what works for them in anyway shape or fashions unless they want to change/upgrade/improve on what they have. However, given your original request (Lounge Lizards / Misfits / Free Thinkers / Bohemians & the Forgotten :: Young at Heart Only) the Mods/Tanks that people and I posted about do fit all those requirements if not more . . . As @FranC suggested try the Zlide or even a Zenith . . . Heck I'll even PIF/send Ya' one and a couple of different drop-in coils to make it even easier if "You" want . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    I love the 4 ml Zlide (Innokin) and I love my Zenith (think 4ml). They both take the same coils and the coils do last a long time. The Geekvape solo is a nice solid pv

    I agree with Fran's recommendations. An Aegis Solo combined with either a Zenith (4ml version) or a 4ml Zlide.

    I just picked up a couple-few 4ml Zlides at My Vapor Store for ~$23 ea

    And a couple weeks ago I got 5 packs of Z-Coils (fit Zenith or Zlide) from kangerwholesaleusa.com ... you need an account and be logged in to see the pricing. The 5 packs were $6.10 ea. But you have to buy a bunch of them to get free shipping.

    Janet has a number of high end (i.e expensive) mods but the two mods she uses 99.9% of her vaping time is a Solo topped with a Zenith.

    The Zenith was the first non-rebuildable that we both liked and agreed that it comes real close to the vape of a decent rebuildable tank. The drop-in coils are so convenient even though I can rebuilt a tank pretty quickly now.

    err, umm, I guess to highlight how much we like the Zenith ...we've got about 700 coils stockpiled for when the dooming happens and we can't buy anymore vape gear.

    I found a kit, but it only has the 2ml tank .. the auto adjust power on the mod seems interesting .. don't know if that's a good deal or not .. ??

    Good morning/afternoon, everyone. It is going to be another hot and muggy day. The only thing I have to do today is to go to the Tinker pharmacy and pick up my daily meds. I just can't beat the 0 copays.
    I am also an MTL vaper but like a looser draw. I very happy with my Kayfun V3 Minis and I'm also hooked on the GeekVape Solo. As a matter of fact, I ordered 2 more yesterday to add to my stash box/drawer.
    I live by the KISS method in most all things
    I also use a form of the KISS method, I use the KISS OFF method, Keep It Simple Silly Or Failure Follows. Nancy was quick to say that I could mess up a simple process. Her being a sailor, she used more colorful words. I don't understand why she would say that.

    That Kroma looks real nice ... if we weren't already well stocked with mods and backups I could be tempted. But looking at what we have on hand I can skip it and just admire yours.
