Needing a sugesstion

[SharonMM]

Ok, I'm really new and haven't had the opportunity to try a lot if different things yet, but I wanted to know if someone could make a suggestion what I could use on a vision spinner to vaporize the juice. I've been using iclear 16 but I don't really like them. I've had them for less than a week and they are tasting burnt already. If you could please hit me with a few options and a bit of info on each, I would be most grateful!

My favorite at the moment is the EVOD. Works great and looks great on a Spinner/Twist. They're bottom coil and work well right out of the package, although I have had one that I needed to pull just a little of the wicking out of.

Hey Sharon, I'm also sorta new to the ecig scene and I can tell you my experience to date: My first setup (after using those "disposable" models) has been straight to a cartomizer with a tank. They worked well, but was getting tired of burt/gunked up cartos and not having the extended flavor you get when you hit the "sweet spot" with those (if ever!). Then I was turned on to atomizers which provided great flavor all the time, but dripping every few draws was starting to get old. I recently purchased a Phoenix RBA and I couldn't be happier with it. I'm having so much fun trying to wrap the "perfect coil" and I can get 7-10 hits before I need to drip again. If you are always on the go a tank system is probably best. I still use an Artemas tank (on a Spinnner too!) when I run out, but not nearly as much as I've been using this RBA. If you're feeling adventurous, I'd would recommend an RBA.
Also, you need to keep in mind that some coils and their wicking material is more sensitive than others. I found this chart in where the "best vape" is depending on your configuration. I know, sometimes you want an extra kick and feel like you should twist up the V's, but it takes a toll and before you know it you're having a bad vape.
Although I've leaned quite a bit from these boards, nothing beats having real-world experience of your own. Exact setups may give a different vape experience for different people so you have to experiment and see what you like best! Good luck!

You also might look into the Vivi Novas.

Just stay clear of low ohm dual coil cartomizers/attys or low resistence single coil ones. The twist/spinner has a weak 2.5 amp switch that can't handle these cartos/attys and will give off a burnt taste.

These are dual coils.... The sales gal insisted that I get duals instead of singles. And I'm totally ignorant about this stuff, so it sounded good to me! Two is better than one, right? I did ask her what the advantage was, and she gave one.... It sounded like she knew what she was talking about, mostly. Even in broken English. But I have burned out two of these things in less than a week. So now I'm not so sure. She also sold me 4 30ml bottles of 10 mg nic juice. She said 10 mg wouldbe fine for me, a pack a day smoker. I quickly found out it
wasn't fine, which is probably why I had mbattery turned to the max and why I wrecked two dual coil clearos in the process. Ugh.

Don't give up hope! I was on and off ecigs for over a year before I found something that worked for me. I just needed a little patience and some trial and error. Yes, you will have to make an "investment" and get some various supplies until you find one that you enjoy! Believe me, the day will come!
As far as your juices not having enough kick for you, you can always get a higher mg bottle and (very carefully) give it the boost you need. And yes, you may have to do a little math to determine what mg you will end up with... I was a pack/day smoker and feel that 12-16mg works for me (and I do tend to chain vape). Anything higher gives me too much TH (throat hit). Keep your chin up and your finger on your ecig!

You need a primer on juice delivery devices for your eGo battery: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...k-what-primer-juice-delivery-attachments.html

Most of these devices use the string wick method of delivering juice to the coil head (clearomizers and Vivi Nova tanks). The other common devices are cartomizers and cartotanks which use a filler material that totally surrounds the heating coil. I believe that this allows for better wicking and better flavor production. Plus, they are not position dependent like the string-wick devices.

I have other articles written with the beginner in mind in my blog: E-Cigarette Forum - Baditude - Blogs

She also sold me 4 30ml bottles of 10 mg nic juice. She said 10 mg wouldbe fine for me, a pack a day smoker.

1 ppd smokers need 24mg nicotine in their juices. The vendor who told you 10mg would work for you is misinformed. I'd question any other advice that she gave you.

Also not a fan of dual coil cartomizers on any device, let alone an underpowered eGo battery. Dual coils need at minimum 4.5 volts consistantly to shine, something that an eGo won't do for very long.

It's not the dual coils but the eGo that is the problem. It can't handle dual coils that are 1.9 ohm or lower. Dual coils on a PV that can handle any type of atty/carto, like the Vamo, provide warmer vaper and many of us use them.

And I and most vets recommend a new person, especially a pack a day person, to start out around 24mg nicotine strength and adjust from there. You can always make you eliquid weaker, but you can't make it stronger. That shop you went to wasn't very helpful IMO.

I have never had any luck with clearos. Have you tried a carto tank yet? No matter what I try I always go back to my carto tank with single coil 3 ohm cartos

 

[SharonMM]

So, just to get this straight then... She sold me too much vaporizer for my battery? If I had used a stronger battery this would have been avoided?

Also, PV refers to the vaporizer mechanism seperate from the battery, correct?

I see a lot being mentioned about ohms. Where on my PV (hope I'm using the term correctly) does it say what ohm-age its packing?

To your first question, basically yes. It appears she sold you a cartomizer that has a resistence (ohms) too low for the spinner PV (personal vaporizer). It'a actually not the battery part of the spinner that is the problem, but the switch regulator. It has a weaker 2.5 amp switch regulator. Many better model PV's (personal vaporizer) now come with 5 amp switch regulators which can handle anything on the market. An example is the variable wattage Vamo.

The PV (personal vaporizer) is the body of your e-cig (I hate using that term but do so because you are new). It's the housing, batteries, buttons/switch.

And the spinner does not provide ohm information like other ones do. Models such as the Vamo, Zmax, eVic, Provari, etc all show the user the ohms or resistence of the cartomizer/atomzer (heating coil) you are using. Basically, the lower the ohms, i.e. 1.5 - 2.0 ohms, the higher number (in amps) you want your switch to be (ideally 3.5 - 5.0 amps). If you switch to 2.5 - 3.0 ohm single coil cartomizers or atomizers, your spinner PV should handle those just fine.

I hope some if this helps.

Ok... I think I got it... It's kinda like, putting a hemi into a toyota tercel... Just, dumb. Get a lower grade clearo and it should work better.

the Vivi Nova comes with 3 different coils, 1.8, 2.4, 2.8. they should all work well for you. You can also switch them out to see what you like. All for around $10-$12. Try the 18mg nic or 24 mg. If you are getting too much nic you will probably get a minor headache and feel slightly nauseous. No problem, stop vaping, it goes away in a couple of minutes. Too little nic and the cravings don't seem to go away.
