Mini Recomendations Please

[hothrebel]

I am considering buying a mini kit.
I want one that produces great flavor,will run thicker jucies,and dose MTL.
I do not like sub ohm. 1.2 or 1.4 is what I prefer. Thanks.

Hello @hothrebel, can you build atomisers or do you use drop in coils?

 

[hothrebel]

I will need drop in coils.

What do you mean by a mini kit? Are you looking for something like a single 18650 mod, an internal battery, or a pod mod?

Apart from the pod mods, the Zenith/Zlide seems to be the favourite MTL drop-in coil atomizer at the moment. Innokin offers it with a few different mods:

• Zlide tube kit
• Kroma R Zlide Kit

If a pod is more your style, try checking out some of the threads in the pod forum: Vape Pod Systems.

Sorry. Yes a single 18650 mod. I have the Nord 2 and want to get a mod kit with everything needed in it. I am new and dont have a grasp on the proper lingo yet.

No problem. Like so much else, vaping has its own jargon and it takes a while to pick things up. You may already know this, but in case you don't I'll mention that a 'kit' usually means just a mod and tank - replaceable batteries and accessories aren't included. That's just as well in some ways, because it's better (safer - lower risk of dangerous counterfeits or lousy off-brand batteries) to buy batteries from a trusted supplier. As well as the kit, extra coils, and your ejuice, you'll probably want:

• Batteries
• External charger (generally recommended over in-mod charging)
• A battery case or box (never carry a lion battery loose - people's pockets have been known to catch on fire)
• A few battery wraps (if a battery's plastic wrap is damaged, do not use it until you've replaced the wrap. Fortunately, wraps are cheap and it takes no more than 5 minutes or so to replace one.)

Mooch, our resident battery guru, produces a chart of recommended vaping batteries. You can find it here. As an MTL vaper, you'll probably want one of these models:

• Samsung 30Q
• LG HG2
• Sony/Murata VTC6

If you look at the chart, the blue row lists the 'trusted suppliers' I mentioned earlier. They'll also carry chargers, cases and wraps, so you can pick them up at the same time.

There's also the recently released Aspire Nautilus GT tank as well for options, and you can always mix and match mods and tanks with a 510 connector.

Just try and avoid SMOK if possible, they're not the most reliable.

+1 to hawise’s suggestion for the Zlide Tube. If you like the old tube style, it’s a good choice for you. I’ll admit I usually have my original Berserker or Doggy on it instead of the Zlide, simply because of the cost and restrictions of drop in coils. But the Zlide is a good MTL drop in coil tank.

 

[hothrebel]

So the Kroma R Zlide kit has 1.2 or 1.4 coils with it?

I believe a 1.2 is available for it, but it’ll say in the description when you buy it whether it comes with or not. I have a couple Zlides here somewhere still in the box but I’ll be darned I can find them right now.

Thanks.Have you ever used one of these?

Welcome to ECF, hothrebel. I can't really recommend any kits to you. The only kits I ever bought were when I was in the eGo/CE4 stage of vaping, that was about 5 years ago. You have gotten some good suggestions so far. This place and the people here are real good for that, no doubt about it.

Thanks. I agree. Everyone has been very kind and helpful to me.

Kroma R Zlide Kit

Great recommendation. Except I can't find a Kroma-R mod kit with a Zlide tank, only Apex tank. Gotta link to a merchant?

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

If you can't find a Kroma-R kit with Zlide tank I found the mod and tank separately at myvaporstore.

• Mod: Innokin Kroma-R Mod - Ecig Vaporizer

• Tank: Innokin Zlide Tank - Zenith Z-PLEX3D Mesh Coil

Innokin's stuff is pricey, but usually very well built, especially the mods.

Then you'll need...

• Batteries: LG HG2 18650 20A Flat Top 3000mAh Battery - Genuine - Wholesale Discount These LG HG2 on clearance would be fine for MTL vaping and are widely used by vapers. Get at least 2, but I'd buy 4 at that price. They will come in plastic battery cases.

• Charger: XTAR VC4 Battery Charger Because I don't recommend charging batts inside a mod, but it's your call. They also have the smaller 2-bay version (VC2) for $2 less, but that's not worth it IMHO.

Then you'll need juice (obviously).

Good luck and welcome to the non-pod world

So any tank would fit but not every tank can do a 1.2 or 1.4 coil right?

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

Right. Most tanks that take factory coils these days seem to be sub-ohm tanks for DL vaping, unfortunately.

Yes any tank will fit on any mod you get because they are all 510 threaded mods and all tanks are 510 threaded tanks.

 

[hothrebel]

Will any mod be able to do 1.2 or 1.4 coils?

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

Will any mod be able to do 1.2 or 1.4 coils?

Yes.

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

The Kroma-r mod for instance, goes up to 80 watts, but goes as low as 6 watts. you set it at what you need. You won't be vaping anywhere near 80 watts. My guess is around 12-18 watts is what you will be vaping on a 1.2-1.4 ohm MTL coil.

So as you can see, mod vaping isn't the same as pod vaping. You have to set things. Not as care free as pod vaping.
