My buy list

[BeatboxHero]

So I have a lot of E-Cig related things I want to buy but there are so many that sometimes I lose track! So here is what I plan on buying once I get my next check. You guys should help me add too it! Currently (worth mentioning) I only have a Sigelei Zmax v3, 2 18650 batteries and charger that came with the Zmax, a Protank, a Protank 2, a Vision Victory BCC, and an iClear 30.

What I plan on buying
-2 18350 batteries (not certain what brand?)
-5 pack of Boges LR cartos
-An E-Cig "holder" (block of wood with the holes for your mods and such)
-Cool looking drip tips for Protank 2
-Better battery charger (not certain what brand?)
-Lots of juice that I have been recommended (any new recs are very welcome)
-iClear 30 heads
-Protank replacement coils
-Zmax belt clip thing
*EDIT* - Small Carrying case that will fit my Zmax and a couple tanks and a spare bat (if you have one you use that would fit that but is sleek looking then let me know)

That's all I can think of at the moment. I know there was other awesome stuff that I have ran into online but I can't remember :-\ Any other suggestions are welcome! Just looking for the best vape experience ever! Thanks for your help

Buy more cartos...you will go through that 5 pack quicker than you think
As far as 18350s, I use Efest IMRs, but from what I gather AW IMRs are great, too
I presently use a NiteCore Intellicharger I2 because the charging ports charge at 500mAh per bay and they charge my 18350s, no problem.

That's a good point! They are cheap so why not

Ive been on the same boge carto for a month now =D I bought 2 packs too, they should last me a bit. Are you getting punched boge cartos for a tank? I loooove my ibtanked with boges. Not sure if youre using them on a cigalike or what =) I use wordupecig.com juice, ive tried a TON of different vendors and its my favorite by a longshot.

I've been through a spectrum of vaping gear since I started back in July, always looking for Mr. Goodvape and cloud chasing as I do so. Doug and I were given an el-cheapo e-cig that was just hideous, and when I tried it I knew there had to be something better, so I started buying and buying, spending more than I should have. I now have a bunch of stick batteries, a couple spinners several clearos and a big cigar box of juices, flavors and another cigar box full of coil rebuilding stuff, 30 ft. of wick, 100 ft of 32 ga. kanthal, a couple dozen coil heads, a resistance tester, a pencil torch, and other implements.

I ended up with a Sigelei 24 mech mod on which I have mounted a Kanger Protank, and for which I have a slew of batteries, and you might think that would do it for me, but no. Now I want an RBA. I'm wanting the AGA-T2, more batteries, different gauges of kanthal, a porous ceramic wick, and lots of 400 SS mesh and a better battery charger, or two.

It really never ends....

Do you recommend the punched? I really don't know much about them besides that I want to try them haha. And what do you mean by your ibtanked "WITH" boges?

Yeah, I have not been vaping as long as you but I will absolutely keep adding to my collection Turning this into a hobby haha. I have been looking into RBAs lately. Could you recommend a couple that I should look at getting?

Well I've seen vids on the AGA-T+ and T2 that recommend them as good choices for RBA beginners, and I like the looks of the T2. I think it will look nice on my mech and it's affordable. Moreover it has a Pyrex tank that will not break down with corrosive juices. It seems well made, and it's my choice for my first RBA.

My first.... I just know it won't be the last ....

Check out Phil's vid on it here:

[Plumes.91]

The RSST, believe it or not, has gotten a lot of good reviews saying its even better than the aga-T2.

OP- I suggest you find what you reaaaaally want and stick with it. Otherwise this is going to be an expensive journey. Batteries are a must-have, even more important than having a fresh new device is having enough batteries charged to switch em up whenever you want. A good multibay charger goes a long way for all those batteries. Good heads for your favorite 2 devices. (more protanks) maybe some RBA drippers or a good 510 atomizer or 2, and then its juice time. Do not suggest always buying the next device that catches your eye. Focus on getting your atomizer and battery count up once you have a couple devices your in love with. & find your favorite juices. Bakery juices, tobacco juices, fruit juices. yum.

HAHA! I may not be the most advanced vaper yet. But I do know what takes priority. So I guess I would call this my "think tank" rather then my "buy list" haha Just looking for NEW ideas. Trying to figure out what everyone else is vaping with so I can improve my own experience. Maybe I wont buy it with this check....but It will at least be added to the list so I can get it later on

Do you recommend the punched? I really don't know much about them besides that I want to try them haha. And what do you mean by your ibtanked "WITH" boges?

A punched carto has a hole in the side, so you can put it in a tank. Non punched would be for just using the carto by itself. I use boge cartos in my tank, and they are punched, here is a shot of my setup. The Ibtanked is the glass tank full of juice that the carto sits inside of

Pre punched or laser cut cartos are only for tanks, if you just want to try a carto buy them without punches or holes. Then you just pop off the silicon end cap, prime them, put on a drip tip and away you go until the juice runs low. I love Boge low resistance cartos in my fluid flask tank, 2.3mm single hole I think. IBTanked and Phiniac are all good tanks as well. I've tried the cheap tanks only to have them leak. My favorite vapes from bottom to top are; Protank, Protank mini, Evod, carto tank w/boges then my RBA with mesh wick. I use an RSST which is fantastic for the money and for starting out with RBA's.

Nitecore Intellicharger off Amazon is definitely the way to go as others have said. I use both Efest and AW IMR batteries instead of the no name stuff that they usually bundle in kits.

 

[BeatboxHero]

NOW I know what you mean. I didn't realize they made them punched. I was just going to get the regular ones for now. Until I know that I like them anyways. If I fall in love with them I will look into buying some punched ones because I think I already have a tank they will fit inside. Thanks Guys

Any other recommendations for a good vaping experience?

Hits better than any VV ive ever tried with my protanks at 1.8ohm and my cartos at 2.2ohm!

You know, if youre just looking for crap to buy lol =)

Anyways good luck, hope you get the full effect from those boge cartos, my protank/evods/everything else is literally a paper weight once i started using them. Way bigger hits, way more consistency, and the one im using now just turned a month old and still works great. At 6 bucks a 5 pack i definitely cannot complain

I started vaping last November, and, like you, started with a cheesy starter kit that required more maintenance than it was worth. The starter clearos' coils would only hit well for a few tankfulls before they started getting weak or burnt hits, so I'd have to change them every few days. I moved to the Kanger T3 style tanks and that made the hit way more consistent and got rid of the burning altogether, and the coils would last a couple weeks or longer before I'd need to replace them. I ran with that for probably 4-5 months before I got into a ProTank. I had a bunch of trouble with the wicks not lasting more than 3 or 4 days before they started producing weak hits, and I fixed that by going to a little different flavor. Apparently RY4 has too much sweet-something in it that gums up the wicks. I still haven't figured out exactly what that is, but I'm on a little different blend now and the problem is gone.
I changed to VV mods about 6 months ago, and I'll probably never go back to vaping without VV regularly. The hit remains consistent throughout the life of the battery charge, and the batteries (1300MaH 18350s) last an entire day without any trouble, and 2 days with a Panasonic 18650 if I need to. I started with a VAMO V2, and still love the device, however, the fire button got a little finicky a few months back, so it's no longer my daily driver. I had a Innokin SVD briefly, but it didn't behave well with all my tanks, so I sold it to a coworker. He knew of all the trouble I was having, and he took it and somehow fixed it and uses it every day. It's a beautiful device, from the perspective of someone with an appreciation for machinework, but it was just too maintenance-intensive for me. Now I have a ZMAX Mini that I've had for about a month that's been simply set-and-forget with a ProTank on top of it. Tons of vapor, my wicks last about 2 weeks before I need to replace them due to weakened vapor production, and I run the 1300 18350s (FastTech @$5.79 for 2 of them...best money I ever spent) in it that will go a solid 24 hours on a single charge. It's compact and light, looks decent, and rides well in my pocket without having to worry about my wattage settings being changed, as the button's got enough resistance to keep it from getting pressed unless I want it to.
I thought I was done spending money for a while because I finally got what I'm looking for, but I just saw this badboy, and I may just have to have one: KSD KMAX Variable Voltage/Wattage Telescope $37.85 | gotsmok.com
Single-button VV/VW device with kind of a steampunk look to it, but it looks like it's got all the latest technology in it.

There's definitely a lot of ways to spend money if you want to, but once you find a vape that works, you can also stop if you need to.

Good Luck!

I gotta say this......Provari. It's pricy but I wish I would have bought this first. I have a lot of different devices but I always want to use the Provari.

 

[glycerol]

- the new Mini Protank 1.5 ml (because of the less airy draw)
- few new bases with silicone gaskets for my present 2.6 ml Protank
- another 1300mah short, fat eGo battery (I lost my backup and I just love this battery)
- a pack of five 1.8 ohm attys (both Protank models use the same atty type)
- "espresso" flavoured PG juice since I never tried any coffee flavours
