New & Confused

[mamafuturama]

Hi new to vaping. I purchased an EVOD 2 kit from kanga at a local shop. I'm not very satisfied. The unit itself performs as it should, I just hate continually dead batteries and feel I need more "power". Yesterday I purchased a Vision Spinner and I'm still left with "meh".
Frankly I feel as if my shop just "sells" me something rather than listening to my needs. It 3 weeks now I have been using 36 mg nic ejuice and barely avoid lighting up analogs.
Something isn't right.

Just out of curiosity how much did you smoke a day on analogues?

 

[mamafuturama]

15-30 Winston Reds Shorts. I think the issue is HOW you smoke them though. How deeply you inhale, etc. I could finish a single smoke in 4 or 5 puffs. I all but ate them. I want vaping to work more than anything but so far it has been one disappointment after the next.

36mg? In the end of all things I would say this-after all of the replies you will end up in the long run with a higher power VV/VW or a box-maybe even a mech mod. Not sure what tank you are using but I am assuming it is a ce2-ce5. Upgrade to a Nautilus Aspire on a Vamo and you will feel a huge increase-hard to say how much better it will get because I don't know what you are running on that spinner but I know it is a great set up for decent vapor and a nice variable draw. My big advice would be that if you go up in vapor production go down in nic-the more vapor the more Nicotine which is why most mech mod builds are running 3-6 mgs-those huge clouds act as a very efficient nicotine delivery system and you don't want to be tied to a monster amount of nic

There are lots of people willing to help here. I recently moved to an itaste mvp2 (has variable wattage) from an ego twist. Made a big difference to me. I would think a vision spinner with 36 nic would take care of the cravings, but if you need more vapor, you might consider a mech mod to drip, but that's beyond me.

Sometimes the tank can make a world of difference. I know I was vaping 24mg til I got my Acro (Aspire Nautilus clone). Then when I tried my 24mg, it was too much nic and vapor production as well as taste was vastly improved! What tank are you using?

By the way, not all B&M employees are just selling you gear.

What part of NC are you in? I work in Hickory myself [emoji4]

 

[Talons001]

I tend to take shallower but longer hits with my vape. Instead of just hitting it as hard as you can, hold the button for a second, them start to inhale in a slow/steady pace. If you pull to hard or fast, you aren't going to get a decent draw off of it. Normally when you pull to fast you will pull juice through to the mouth piece which will cause a gurgle or you just won't get any vapor. Try slower/ shallower hits and see if that helps at all.

And that's right about the time I invested in a Provari for just that reason.

Then, I learned how to use cartomizer tanks because they didn't leak and I got a consistent vape pretty much every time. I think it is pretty natural to try different things until you find that sweet spot for yourself.

Do tell Re: Provari?

 

[Talons001]

Also, like the others have stated, upgrading to a new tank might do the trick. I personally recommend the kanger aero tank v2 or aspire nautilus. The price tag might be a put off for you but they both work extremely well.

 

[mamafuturama]

Bassnorma, that's a good tip for sure. But honestly I think the equipment I have is a bit lightweight. I may be wrong though.

 

[mamafuturama]

I am using the tanks that came with the EVOD 2 kit. I'm not joking wen I say little to nothing has been explained to me at my shop, even when I ask direct questions. I asked about different tanks and wa told they "just hold more"

 

[Bassnorma]

Do tell Re: Provari?

Well they are not cheap but I found I was slowly spending a lot of money anyway on batteries that did not work for me.

Power is important to the vape experience. They use IMR rechargable batteries which have regulated power. Without getting into the geeky side of this, what it means to the vape experience is the first vape on a newly charged battery and the last one from a nearly discharged battery are the same experience.

The device is very well manufactured, made in the US and has a warranty.

If you are using clearomizers you may need an ego adapter so your clearo will physically fit. But when I bought the Provari, I just moved over to a different kind of tank, a carto tank,

Baditude is a great blogger and he explains the tank differences and the provari here:

There's difinitely more to it than they just "hold more." So are bottom coils tanks, while others have top coils. They have rebuild able coil tanks(RTAs), as well as rebuild able drip atomizers(RDAs). If you do some exploring on the forums you should be able to find out most anything you would want to know. Any specific questions you have I am sure someone here can answer for you.

Talons is right. There is a bit of legwork you can do which can drastically improve your experience... Check out those links I posted. Even if you don't end up with a Provari. Baditude explains the different juice delivery systems better than anyone I have heard.

Why Provari?

I recommend either an IBTanked cartotank or an Aspire Mini Nautilus clearomizer on a Provari.

Why Provari?

Speaking of which.../wave Hi Bad

 

[mamafuturama]

Thanks so much! I'm posting via an iPhone app, so when I'm off mobile I will check links. Price isn't an issue not because I'm wealthy but because I don't want to smoke any longer. Already, in 3 weeks, I can finally smell, hear and breathe than I have in years. It may be TMI but I've also had a great reduction in swelling in my lymph nodes in my neck, etc. I know vaping works. I jut need to fun the best way to make it work for me. I don't wanna be on 36mg forever... Eventually I would like to be single digit.

Bassnorma is also right. Baditude does explain things very well. I learned a lot myself by reading some of his blogs and also talking to him directly. Provaris are extremely nice APVs but they are rather expensive($150-200ish). If you do decide you want one, I suggest waiting for the release of the provari v3
