Anyone any experience with an Innokin? Looking at getting a new rig, that doesn't need a 510 atty, that is MTL (like the eGos I use currently, I think those are MTL as well) and won't require me to get a BS in Engineering to use (lol). I don't mind learning about coils or what have you as long as it's pretty straightforward stuff that this long time 'stuck to old ways like dripping' vaper can get their head around.
so you want an ego threading rather than 510?
I don't think that's what he means. It's just that the old-style disposable 510 atties is all he's been using for several years. And, he wants to move on to something that's more available nowadays. Since the old-style atties are getting harder to find.
CaptJay, no 'rig' you find nowadays needs an old-style 510 atty. Almost all of them have the same 510 connection. But, almost no one still uses them with the old-style atties. I do. But, even I only use them occasionally. I use a lot of other stuff more.
I used some of their earlier stuff, never had a problem with anything. Haven't used the latest but Innokin has always seemed to fill a niche with inexpensive easy to use stuff. The Endura T22 looks pretty cool. I would drop $30 plus a few coils on that in a heartbeat.
I wouldn't consider the T22 as MTL. Although some people probably do. It's barely in the top end of that range.
CaptJay, I can only share my own experience. I am very much a MTL vaper. It's a broad range. Some MTL vapers use much higher wattage and much less resistance than I do. For them, the T22 might work. For me, no.
I vape at about 7.5 watts. On a non-VV/VW mod, I used to prefer 2.0 ohm atties. But, nowadays I don't have to be too exact on the resistance of my atties, not since I use mostly VW. The variable wattage rig/mod will adjust the voltage to whatever resistance you use so you don't have to worry about it. Although I do generally try to avoid sub-ohm (any resistance under 1.0 ohm).
I started on 510 and 306 disposable atties. I didn't move on from them because I wanted something more. I moved on because the QC was so unreliable. I wanted something more reliable.
The EMDCC (which I believe is what you're using right now?) was fairly good and produced a lot of vapor, almost too much. I used those briefly while I was experimenting with new things. I probably would have continued to use them regularly except that about that time I discovered the carto-tank. I love carto-tanks!
But, eventually I realized that the QC for cartos wasn't a whole lot better than the QC for disposable atties. So, I finally moved on to rebuilding. The Kayfun Lite has, at least, as good flavor and vapor production as a carto-tank. Maybe a little better.
In the meantime, I had very little luck with clearos (CE2, CE3, etc.). Vivi Novas and T2's were ok. But, nothing could compare to the carto-tank at that time. So, I had given up on clearos. However, my brother needed to find a clearo that would get him back to vaping. He hates to try new things/to experiment. He just wants something super simple and disposable, and the 306 wasn't doing it for him anymore.
I finally found the Joyetech Ego One tank. It's a clearo that you just drop a coil in, no rebuilding required. It's the best clearo that I've ever found. Of course, I also like the fact that you can use CLR coils instead of the CL coils that they come with. CLR is just CL + R for rebuildable.
They're one of the easiest to rebuild. So, you could just save the used ones in case you decide to try rebuilding them later.
The few other modern clearos that I've tried were either not as simple and reliable or created too much vapor for me (unless I tried them DL instead of MTL). The Joyetech Ego One clearos (nicknamed eggrolls on the Tootle Puffer thread) are the only clearo that produces a reliable amount of vapor for me, but not so much that it chokes me.
You can use them with any modern rig/mod. They come with low resistance, so you do have to have something modern enough to handle that. Of course, you can rebuild them to higher resistance if you want.
The best smallish mods? Probably the Pico if you want to use replaceable batteries or, for a built-in battery, the eLeaf iStick 30 or 40. They're tiny!
I don't know if any of that will help. But, I can only speak from my own experience.
Good luck!
