Hello and welcome to the forum @Charlston.vw. Glad to have you here!:)

Massive clouds don't come cheap. Some of these setups can burn through 30 ml juice/day (depending on how often you vape).

The istick 100 watt (mod) with either the SMOK TFV4 or UWell Crown (both tanks) are worth looking into. You would need to also purchase extra coils, a battery charger and 2 pairs of 20A 18650 batteries (like the Samsung 25r's).

The batteries need to be married.
  • Keep in pairs, use in pairs, charge in pairs
  • Mark them 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B etc.
  • Rotate them on the charger. (i.e. 1st time -- 1A goes in slot 1, 1B goes in slot 2; 2nd time -- 1A goes in slot 2, 1B goes in slot 1)
  • Rotate their position in your box mod as well
Get the best charger that you can reasonably afford. Statistically most battery incidents occur while charging. Pila, Xtar, and Nitecore Intellicharger are the most recommended brands. Only charge batteries when you are around should there be any problems. For that reason I don't leave them charging overnight while sleeping.

Batteries - Where to Buy


Only buy batteries from a reputable supplier (not ebay or Amazon) as there are many counterfeit batteries being sold. Here are several reputable battery suppliers in the US.
Inexpensive Juice

Mount Baker Vapor, ITC, Vape Wild, VapeMour, Juice Mafia & Mech Sauce are some vendors you could check out.

Follow what Susan has said. To get the clouds most the time the equipment you use requires knowledge.
Sure plenty of people may get away with it but not all do.

Best to look at regulated mods first and study up on coil building or probably look at many of the sub ohm tanks to get started.
Liquids higher in vg usually give more vapour and more airflow helps.

the velocity atty you talk of? is it one where you have to pour liquid in for every hit or is it one where you add so much liquid?

the velocity is a dripping atty where you drip so many drops (mine usually like 6-8 drops) of liquid take a few hits then have to drip a few more drips to vape some more.

I have the Arctic and would definitely recommend one. As for a mod i think the i stick 100 watt would do you well. I get my juice from my pound store and it's a quid a bottle which is just great. It's pretty good too. Maybe you have some stores like that near you. Anyway best of luck to you.
Vape on and live long.

The newest and "hottest" cloud tank right now is the Smok TFV4. It had massive coils and with triple, quadruple, and sextuple coil configurations, you can burn through juice like crazy.

Yeah my buddy has one of these. They're pretty darn impressive, but they eat through juice like nobody's business. Honestly, a tank that runs through juice like the TFV4 warrants DIY or cheaper e-liquid.

If you go with the Smok TFV4, you might need to step up to a 150W or higher mod. I love my istick 100Ws as they are such a bargain, but that tank might need more if you go with the 4 or 6 coil heads.

I would recommend:

Sigelei 150W tc
IPV3 li
Snow Wolf 200W

Being over 100Ws, I would recommend you use Sony vtc4s. I buy mine from Illumn.

And you'll want cheap juice because you are going to use a lot of it! MBV, Mech Sauce or ITC.

The biggest cloud makers are sure to be drippers.
For that you will need to learn coil building and proper wicking.
With that said , the best route for a nice cloud at the right price would be........
For the mod I would recommend ---------
https://www.fasttech.com/products/0...entic-eleaf-istick-50w-4400mah-vw-vv-variable
(You won't need to buy batteries or charger, has 4400 mah which last a long time and the 50 watts is plenty to get started nd beyond.)
For the atomizer I would recommend---------
https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10004861/2770000-authentic-kangertech-subtank-mini-clearomizer
(This also comes with an RTA (Rebuilable Tank Atty) {So you can learn about building coils and completing with proper wicking.} This comes complete with cotton and coil for your learning experience. Plenty of youtube videos to teach you.

The last thing you'll need is juice. For clouds a high VG ( Vegetable Glycerine ) juice is what you need. I like the pastry flavored eliquids at 80/20. ( 80vg/20pg) The PG is Propylene Glycol, its much thinner.

If you are a non-smoker, I'd suggest getting eliquid with 0 nicotine. (0 mg/ml).

I'm "old school", took up vaping to specifically get rid of a long pack-a-day smoking habit. Vaping worked, I no longer smoke, haven't for years :)

Back when I first started on ECF we really frowned on non-smokers picking up vaping, but I appreciate times change.

If you are going to vape anyhow, please do read up on the technical stuff The big vapor, cloud chasing, setups involve higher power, lower ohms (ohms = the resistance of the atomizer). You need to be careful to get a good vaporizer, good batteries, good... If the vaporizer takes separate batteries (18650 is a size/type often used), you need a decent charger, and please follow the recommendations available from ECF members on particular makes/models.

For another, youre much too young to have much of an opinion about anything...or to come anywhere close to knowing what youre talking about.
