For every person who has an issue, another person swears by that tank. I think it really comes down to how the person takes a draw, the type of juice they're using, etc etc. I just try and help people find whatever suits their current requirements and budget. If thats a clearo, then it's a clearo. As long as they quit the stinkies, that's all that matters to me.

Or quality control. When I tried to talk to someone about crappy carts, I was treated like a ..... trying to get a freebie. That's what started me on this quest for the perfect setup.

I have 4 R91's, Kayfun 3.1, Expromiser, Z-Atty, Kraken, Arrow TI, a coupla Doc Daves, a Strata, Patriot, and other drippers.

Still like my cartos.

When you get home late, your tank needs rebuilding, the others don't have the juice you want, you don't want ot drip and you need to leave in a hurry the next morning, you need a good backup.

Cartos fill the bill, taste good, and are dirt cheap next to smoking. Don't really see your problem with them.

To be honest, it just seems like when a company starts getting rich, they stop caring about the quality. Kind of like a band having a great album, then coming out with a crappy one next knowing that millions of people will buy it anyway.
I'm planning on getting another R91 for a backup. But now that I've seen the Erlkonigin, I want it.:unsure:

Some people don't have time for the "quest for the perfect vape" so leave them alone. Op clearly doesn't want to rebuild right now so what is your issue. Move along dude. And v2 may have ....ty company but as far as I'm concerned they're making their money out of the gas station market. Aspire isn't. Yes the heads can be bad sometimes but right now I just verified I have 7 working heads for my nautilus and zero dead ones. Just so you know, I rebuild too. Everything from 1.5 for my russian to .3 dual micros for my droppers so don't start that argument.

Yeah, you are another one spewing that BS that doesn't have a pic of themselves in their profile, yet you expect me to believe you?

THis is the frst time I've heard this rc3po. What's the difference if you have your pic in your profile or not? It's not like I could copy and paste your picture into my facial recognition program and have it spit out your real name, address and phone number :blink:

I've already been down the "heads" road and know better...

I use almost exclusively rebuidables these days, but I did use CE4s without replaceable heads and Vivi Novas for a bunch of months and they were both great for what they are. I learned to dry burn them and when to do it so they don't get too gunked up. That knowledge still stands me in good stead today. CE4s typically lasted me four to six weeks each and the Vivi Nova heads about double that. Haven't tried any of the newer clearos out there these days but I can't imagine they all devolved into devices that don't work anymore.

Rebuildables outperform cartos which outperform clearos, for me and my vape style. That doesn't mean it's going to be the same for everyone. Every device has pluses and minuses and people put more or less weight on some of those aspects.

Vape on.

I know the high-end of this community is building wicks, building coils, etc. I plan to get into that more someday, but I feel unless I have some sort of at least backup setup where I can mindlessly throw in a new prebuilt coil, screw together and vape that it will be too hard to completely quit when life starts moving fast.

So what is the best reasonably priced kit that gives you this kind of "turn-key" setup? Preferably one that doesn't leak!

I have a Vamo V2 and a Zmax V5 mods as background info...

Thank you in advance!

Another vote for cartos in a tank. I never got into the better, more expensive tanks and the cheaper ones worked out well for me. I think I would have tried IBTanked's tanks if I had stuck with cartos longer though :)

Good luck with it :thumb:

Poofy; doing mind some of the vets; some people can't handle it when other people have a difference of opinion from there own so they'll hijack a thread with an honest question to satisfy there own subconscious need to make up for there own inadequacy in an embarrassing failed attempt at superiority,
To answer your actual question. You basically have two major options .. A carto tank and a tank/coil system the latter has a few sub groups. I came back in here to amend my original recommendation to say carto tank in your case. They tend to give better flavor but less dense vapor than a tank system. The main advantage of the carto tank is you can change the carto a lot more easily than the coil and head. Am the carto will also last longer than the coil and head. Furthermore you can get a rebuildable carto down the road and use that with the existing Tank.
Hope the workshop went well!
Here's one of many sellers for the carto.

My expectations are different for men than they are for women. I don't blame a woman for being as careful as possible. You don't need to do that.
Also, that comment wasn't to you anyway. Why do you want to keep harping about it?

Because a lack of a personal picture doesn't make them wrong. Especially when replying to a question that specifically asks for non rebuilding options. There's no reason to ask for personal information on anyone for answering a question within the parameters the person asking set themselves.

Umm sure. I mentioned sex because most predators are men. Perhaps your reading comprehension is lacking.
Why do you want to beat a dead horse anyway? I already said that they don't seem to appreciate me trying to help them - go ahead & fleece them.

There are female predators. On another forum I frequent, one actually called people's jobs in an effort to get them fired. This was a parenting board frequented largely by women, and the person who did it was a woman. One of the ones she did it to was one of the few men who posted. It's wise for anyone to be cautious on forums. I've been to wilder, darker, areas of the Internet. Trust me when I say that there is no such thing is being too cautious on the web for anyone, male of female.

+1 for kangers new aerotanks, best vape from a pre built coil you can get! Aerotank mega is what I use, loads of flavour, nice clouds, absolutely no leaking with the new coils, perfect vape! Also, I've only heard good things about the aerotank V2 and the aerotank mini, so just down to whichever one you prefer the look of. Nautilus, davide, anything by innokin just doesn't compare IMO.

Got a joyetech delta, they are not as good as the aerotanks to me, but they are the closest. It's a well built tank, great flavour and vapour, no leaking or gurgling, longest coil life (4 weeks according to joyetech, mines 2 weeks in and going strong) and hold 6ml of juice. I think they are only available in the UK at the moment though

Here's a review of the delta that led me to buy it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YEmWQ2ValU

I used cheapo (clone) Evod clearos for a long time, and ce4s before that. Nothing wrong with the Evods, and I actually didn't need to ever throw any of them away, nor had I ever have a coil go unsaveably bad (I have a large number of them that I rotated, and was probably lucky). By drilling out the airholes I could even take them to 15w on my Innokin SVD. The ce4s were ok, and the very few that I had to throw away had served me well for a long time. I almost exclusively use mechs and rbas nowadays (the Stingray-Fogger v4 combo being my favourite at the moment), but there was nothing wrong with my earlier "primitive" equipment and I wouldn't be too disatisfied if I'd have to go back to it. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the more modern and advanced clearos.

I've already been down the "heads" road and know better... and my pic is in my profile because I'm not ashamed of what I say.:lol:
But it's all a money game, so I'm sure you crooks will have me banned before long because in this day & time, truth is a menace.

I'm going to go a little outside the box.
I't not quite plug and play and doesn't exactly fit your request, but it's worth an honorable mention.

Reo Grand Bottom Feeder from Reo Mods
Reomizer 2 Same
Vaping Donut from fatdaddyvapes.com
Cotton. Organic from Walgreens

Reo Grand and Reomizer 2 are integrated solution.
The Vaping donut is new and it's brain dead easy to set up with cotton. I'm going on over two weeks with the Donut and the MFG says it will last as long as 6 months. Just surround the back with Cotton or Rayon Fiber and you are off and running. Took me less then 5 minutes to re-wick it.

It would be a great first step into simple RBA.
