After smoking for around 35 yrs, I put out my last cigarette around 9 months ago and have been vaping ever since. It's hard to believe how easy it was to quit cold turkey and go from cigarettes to e-cigs overnight. Now that I've been into vaping a while, I'm looking around to see what's the latest and greatest in equipment and juices.

Welcome to the forum!
Now make a cup of coffee and settle into a comfy chair. vape Time is like Dog Years and the changes in 9 months can equal a decade of advances.

Welcome aboard to ECF, ccCapt. Pleased to see you here.
We are only as old as we feel. Since quitting the nails, I have been feeling great!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on making a clean break with the ciggies, which not everyone (meaning me) does. When it comes to the latest and greatest ignorance is bliss, because awareness will siphon money from you! Just reading the posts here will soon clue you up though, if you're ready to spend.
I guess what I'm really looking for is consistency. I'm using a Vision Spinner 2 with a KangerTech T3D. It seems like sometimes I get really good vapor and sometimes not so good....and that could be 1 good hit and the next hit almost nothing. I'm using the 1.8 ohm coil. I tried the 0.8 ohm coil and that burnt the juice, even tho I did get good vapor. The guys at a local vape show let me try 1 of their cloud machine mods and I damn near choked....lol. So I'm not looking for the huge vapor clouds, just nice, consistent, tasty hits.
Are you looking for a new juice delivery system or a whole new set-up? In either case, what price range are you thinking of?
welcome Capt and what's the old saying? You're only as old as the one you feel.... Eratikmind got that all backwards 
on that burnt taste, what vv do you have the spinner on? I get that burnt taste on a lot of juices if I go over 3.8v on my spinner with a V2 w/.8ohm coil.

I'm not really sure. That's why I joined.
All I do know is I don't what a giant cloud making machine.I'm having a hard time finding a juice I really like, except for Ring-o-fire cinnamon so that's why I mostly use. I tried it on pretty much all voltages and after about 1/2 the tank the juice is really dark and has somewhat of a burnt taste. It just may be the juice...dunno.welcome Capt and what's the old saying? You're only as old as the one you feel.... Eratikmind got that all backwards

LOL . . .
Is the T3D tank glass? If not, you don't want to be putting cinnamon juice in it. It will ultimately ruin the tank.
A very good clearomizer is the Aspire Nautilus BDC. There are tons of excellent reviews online and you can find it for a modest $20. I would go the mini unless you plan to switch to a box mod or mechanical mod.
Size is the difference between the regular and mini Nautilus. Using a box mod or a mechanical doesn't factor into it.
Good question. I have the clear and it looks like glass, but may well be some type of plastic, especially since they make them in different colors. I've been using it about 2 months and almost always with cinnamon. What will the cinnamon do to the tank? It's still clear looking.
YES!!!! You nailed it on the head, at least for me. It's been a difficult journey; it really is hard to find a setup that is consistent, tastes great from start to finish, and doesn't require a lot of handmade stuff or fiddling around.
That's the state of the art at the moment. We (the vaping community, which includes you!) are working on it, but we aren't there yet.
However, we all have dealt with these issues, so here's some hopefully helpful advice:
If you get a dry hit, take a couple of draws on your PV WITHOUT pressing the fire button. This should draw more liquid into the wick. (You should be able to taste the flavor, so "suck it till it wakes up!". A lot of stock heads just won't feed fast enough to let you vape constantly without this.
Welcome to ECF, I hope you find what you're searching for! (And when you do, let me know - PM me so I'm not last in line! ;-)
The degrading of the tank can be subtle...or not. Vendors have different recipes, so there are variables, but cinnamon is pretty much a universal problem. One of the first things people often notice when their gear is reacting to "tank cracking" flavors is the bottom of the drip tip getting mushy.
EEEKKK! What happened to my tank?
If it's still clear-looking you should be fine. Stuff that attacks plastics even a bit will "cloud" the surface very fast. (Stuff that REALLY attacks plastics will dissolve it right before your eyes, wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself!!!)
Actually, if it's really clear looking plastic it is likely polycarbonate which, sadly, will succumb at some point. It may not be the tank itself that you see degrade. My ADV killed a number of Stardusts before I learned what the problem was and it tended to be separation around where the metal parts attached.
Nah there is no final step. There is only more more more. Between shineys and tasties there is always somthing I just gotta have.
So please keep your arms and legs in and stay seated for the entire ride. Its a great one.
