New Guy... could use some help

[ItsCrysis]

Well thanks again everyone... I cant believe how helpful everyone is... I have never ever found a forum as nice as this.
XJC42: You hit the nail on the head. Thats just what I'm looking for but I got one last quetion.
I hear so many mixed reviews about Clearomizers (Bottom Coil or Not) and Cartons and all these others. Im guessing from what I read the Clearos are easy to refil and store more but sometimes leak and dont give as much flavor as the Cartoes do... if Im wrong please correct me. And if I do go with the Clearoes do I go Kanger (T3,MT3,EVOD) or Visions?
Damn I have to many questions

Either a kanger protank-very airy lots of vapor or iclear30 more like a cig draw and also lot of vapor. The vivi's are nice but hard draw and in my opinion the tw i mentioned blow them away. I still have and use vivi's but probably wont buy any more. The vamo is an awesome vv for the money. But definately get a vv so you can dial in whatever you use. Good luck and happy vaping!

I started with Joyetech before the eGo, and continued right up to the eGo-T. 3yrs vaping now.
I smoked 2 packs a day, now I vape a lot and I've tried a lot of things.

eGo-T is the least leaky, most portable ecig. It's small, fits in the pocket, and without breaking open, as tanks tend to do. The downside of the eGo-T is the small tank and the atomizers fail fast, often on first use. One little puff on an empty tank and it's toast. I still use them on the road, but sitting at home, no way. Also, the eGo-T is a bit weak on flavor compared to other atomizers.

At home I use iClear 30. I ordered my last one from Clouds of Vapor, I don't know current pricing but $10 is not bad.

I tried a pile of different tanks and cartos looking for the right one, and finally found the iClear 30. iClear 30 has amazing flavor. The only type that compares in flavor at 3.7v are some cartos. It's really easy to fill, juice doesn't get down in the airways. You can see the juice level (which I never fill to 1/2 way, usually about 1/4 or less - this helps prevent flooding and also, I like to change flavors.) The atomizers seem to last about 1-3 weeks. The airway doesn't get juice often, but when it does, it's easy to blow it out, while others I've tried require rebuilding and drying overnight. It's quiet. I vape on the phone a lot and need a super quiet PV = Silverbullet / Bolt) and the iClear only snaps and pops for a few vapes when new. Also, it screws together well, and the atomizer is easy to replace.

I have to weigh in with my two cents for what they are worth. I went through the same issue as you as "returning to vaping" I was not new to it but tried it...liked it...lost it...smoked analogs...

Anyway, when I decided to get back into vaping I trolled the heck out of this forum peeking out of digital bushes and just reading all the members personal preferences. Basically what it comes down to is that everyone has different styles they enjoy and I built a kit out of what I figured I would like based on others posts. I, like you, as well wanted to stay wallet friendly but get the best bang for my buck while being satisfied with the end result. I ended up browsing Vapor Joe's Blog, (he just finds some of the most amazing deals) and picking up a Sigelei mechanical telescope mod, a Smok Tech pyrex and metal carto tank, dual coil 1.5 ohm cartos, and a variety of batteries. I freaking love this thing, total cost was around $75 bucks shipped. The vape is warm and lots of it, and this is just my preferred experience. I do know now that I have moved into the "mod" world of vaping I want a VV/VW device and ended up with the Sigelei ZMax V3. cost was around $54, and it uses the same battery sizes I use in the mechanical mod. I like that both of the mods are telescopic so I can change the size to suit my needs for the day. At work I rock the 18350 batteries, around town the 18350s or 18490s, and at home the 18650s I just like the versatility and the end results.

I have to second XJC42's suggestion. I'm fourteen days in now and purchased eGo c batteries, which are lovely, but I'm already ready to replace them with either the eGo twist or a vision spinner. But all in all you can't go wrong starting with an ego c batt either.

I began with clearo's and have tried the ce5's, ce4's and one off brand bottom coil. I've now ordered the evod to try and some carto's (the carto's are mainly so my boss will stop calling my ecig a crack pipe - guys got jokes lol).
I can honestly say the vision ce4's have been the best of the clearo's so far. The ce5's like to spit juice back at me (which may possibly be because I was overfilling them.) I really really wanted to love the off brand MT3 and unfortunately I can't say if its the off brand or the clearo itself because its the only one I've tried, but I have to cover the air holes to get any kind of draw and the flavor is very muted.

Best of luck to you!!
