Hey guys, this will be my 2nd post on this forum, I just registered after lurking for a couple months. :)
.. The info on here has been great for a noob like me who started vaping just over 2 months ago!! Maybe you guys could give me some feedback on the setup I have now.

I'm now using a SmooV REV 1300mah Green battery, with a green Ego T2 Clearomizer tank and 1.8ohm coil heads. The SmooV Rev is a lot like the Ego Twist I'm pretty sure (variable voltage), but they fixed a few problems the Ego-T had. I usually run it at about 3.8-4volts with my 1.8ohm Clearo-tank wicks. I tried higher ohm wicks at a higher voltage (2.2ohms on about 4.3v), but the lower-resistance/lower-voltage vaping seems to give me thicker more satisfying cloud of vapor, better throat hit, and a noticably more "raw" tasting flavor if that makes sense.

I started off around Christmas with the SmooV 900mah XL battery in black, which I liked the look/feel of better than the REV because it was shorter, less wide, lighter (felt better in my hand), and the smaller width matched that of my Ego T2 Tank perfectly (the battery aligned perfectly flush with the clearo tank, looked nicer), unlike the REV. The 900mah was said to perform at 3.7volts and I was very happy with its performance and battery life.
.. Unfortunately my SmooV XL 900 bent slightly around the metal threading (from being in my pocket probably), and the threaded piece eventually came disconnected from the battery body a few times, until eventually the last time the wires also came disconnected and button popped out, rendering useless. I brought it in to my local Vapor Store where I bought it with the receipt (less than 90 days from the manufacturer warranty), but they wouldn't repair it, replace it, or even look at it. Luckily a worker I knew there showed me how I could sodder the wires to fix it, but I just bought the SmooV REV that same day because I couldn't wait for another battery from an online shop.

I'm currently puffing on some Toasted Marshmellow Milkshake at 14mg, R-PG. It's been my favorite flavor since I began, and I get it from the same shop I got my SmooV's.

The SmooV Rev 1300mah performs well, but the only thing I like more than the XL 900mah I had is the variable voltage, it's a little too big and chunky. And the shop was out of colors so I was stuck with the green Rev battery, instead of black that I wanted. It's only about 2 weeks old, maybe I can get the distributor to swap it with black?? Oh well, the beginning of the vaping experience! :p

Kangers are great. I bought one several weeks ago and its still going strong, same head.
More than I could say about most other clearo heads I've had. This one is a beast.
I don't see why it would stop working other than it becoming so gunked up it stops wicking.
I simply rinse it under warm water every couple fills and that seems to be helping it out.
Definitely can recommend the T3s. I also like vivi novas, by vision specifically.

What I don't like about my Ego T2 clearomizers.. If I'm not CONSTANTLY cleaning them (sometimes multiple times a day, every time I refill it), they seem like they don't perform like new. That's one thing I'm looking for, being a new vapor, is consistency.

If I'm using a brand new Ego T2 with a brand new wick/coil, I can feel a huge thick satisfying cloud of vapor after just a light 2-second drag, and the cloud I exhale proves it. On a newly cleaned T2 with a new wick, I loveee the thickness and volume and ammount of vapor; but after a refill or 2, I feel I need to take at least a 5-7 second drag to get even enough vapor to really feel it, and the ammount of vapor is visibly not the same. And if I don't inhale into my mouth superrrr lightly and slowly, the vapor just won't feel thick enough.

I know I long, slow, light drag is needed to give time for the heat to spread accross the coil/juice; but it hits sooo much better with a newly cleaned tank and new wick (less than a few days old). It gets pretty frustrating constantly cleaning and finicking with this thing just to get a satisfying hit everytime, not to mention messing with my new variable voltage and finding the perfect wattage for my taste. :p
