I am replacing my Itaste 3.0 VV VW which had an unfortunate accident. I was not impressed with the amount of vapor released from this unit and unless I ran the lowest voltage and watage settings the flavor would taste burnt and not very appealing. I am looking for recommendations for large vapor production and a stable nice flavor. I will spend whatever I need to obtain these results. I currently have 4 Kanger protank 3's running 1.8 ohms. Should I consider changing tanks also? Thank you.

Hello and welcome.:toast: The amount of vapor you get has more to do with the liquid you use, the ohms of your atomizer, the wicking ability of your tank or whatever you are using. Yes, in my opinion probably would be better served with a different tank system. I'll leave the suggestions to others, don't have much experience with the latest and greatest.

Yes, it sounds to me like it's more of an issue with the tanks you are using rather than the device that powers them. If you want to use high wattage, you'll need something with sufficient wicking and airflow to keep up with the amount of juice being vaporized. Something like the Kanger Subtank or Aspire Atlantis, maybe.

I look at different levels. 1 is the beginner, 2 is mods with an Aspire Nautilus/Nautilus Mini or Kanger Aero (I prefer the Nautilus), and 3 mods with sub ohm tanks like Aspire Atlantis and Kanger Subtank/Mini. I just reached step 3, but have been perfectly content with my Nautilus Mini on my iStick 50W.

Check this link, see what Susan~S states, http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ank2-3-air-flow-adapter-vs-nautilus-mini.html

Subohming should be a last resort, not a first recommendation. There's a lot of issues that go with subohming, and it's the most expensive way to vape. It's not for novices.

My recommendation would be to get an Innokin MVP 3 or possibly an iStick 50W mod and an Aspire Nautilus tank. That would get you an extremely reliable mod with more than enough power to push the tank to it's limits. The Nautilus will put out plenty of vapor to satisfy most people without the added cost of going with a subohm setup. And both of those mods will still have enough power to use a subtank on it if you decide you want to go that route later.


I would avoid the Aspire CF, at least for now. It's a mech mod so the power isn't adjustable. If you find it's a little weak then you have to live with it being weak because you can't turn the power up. For now stick with a regulated mod where you can control the power. It's easier.

I have been looking at the Aspire CF sub ohm and Nautalis tank.

The CF Subohm functions as a mechanical. When the battery life lessens, so does that battery's output. That may not be suitable for a Nautilus.
Aspire does make a nice kit, called the Aspire Premium kit. It includes a Mini Nautlius with a 1000mah CF VV+. Its variable voltage, from 3.3v-4.8v. I own and use this myself and enjoy it, though you may need an extra battery for backup.

Why spend $50 to get two 1,000 mAh batteries when he could when he could get a 3,800 mAh MVP 3.0 or 4,200 mAh iStick 50W for just $10 more?

Any recommendations on delivery devices?

Aspire Nautilus with BVC heads. Adjustable air flow, simple to fill & maintain, replaceable heads.
Buy from a reputable vendor and check the scratch off security code(s) on the package(s) using the authentication area on their site before using.
You'll have a better chance of returning a unused fake product.

The size of the MVP 3.0 is why I don't recommend it. For 30w of power you could get something with a better form factor. Though, it is well made. The iStick seems to have its share of issues. I refuse to recommend anything regulated that has problems with auto firing.

I have an Eleaf Istick 50W topped with an Aspire Atlantis. I use it at 20W so why a 50W device? Battery life! 4400mah battery on the Istick last a long time at 20W. Two days of vaping for me. I am not a chain vapor though. Even with 50pg/50vg juice it makes for a good mix of vapor and flavor. The regulated devices are safer for starting out. Let us know what you get.
