Firstly I'd like to introduce myself, I've been reading this forum for a while now and I appreciate the wealth of information it contains. I'm sure some of the questions I'm about to ask have been answered but I have struggled to get the answers I'm looking for.
My PV background. I quit tobacco in November 2011 with the help of a PV and have never looked back. I started with a 'replica' e-cig with an 808 cartomizer. I've since moved on to 650mah batteries and now 1300mah which I strongly prefer. It's now time to move on to something better and I will set out my criteria. I also would appreciate some help in understanding a few things, I know there is a glossary explaining the various components but I can't quite fathom what works with what.
Criteria:
Batteries. The 1300mah give me a really nice vape. Sadly they deteriorate quickly and can stop working at any time for no apparent reason. The cost of a new battery every 4-6 weeks is making this a very expensive hobby, and they only seem to work optimally for the first two weeks. I have read and understand what the Provari is an will probably buy one of these with an extension cap and a few 18650 batteries so i think i have solved this particular problem.
Cartomizers. I find that the quality is very hit and miss, some burn very quickly and again makes vaping expensive. I also find the refilling a bit of a hassle and also having to carry around multiple spare carts all the time.
So I'm looking at moving to a Provari with an alternative to cartomizers. After doing some reading, it seems there are atomizers, clearomizers, tanks, cartridges and tips. I am unsure what components I need to use in a particular set up. I also don't understand which components need to be replaced at which intervals so its difficult to weigh up the most economical set-up in the long run.
I've read about leakage and this does not appeal to me at all.
In short, I am looking for consistency, reliability, durability and value for money. Budget isn't a problem as long as it's value for money.
I hope to progress to Mods like the Z-atty in the future but I would like a stepping stone set-up for the provari so that I can understand all the components before tinkering. I also would like to undertand about refilling, dipping and dripping if relevant.
I use Halo Freedom juice, and will look to broaden my tastes once I have a new set-up.
Any links or replies to any of my points above would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
