I use the Phoenix bottom coil (CE3) clearomizers. They work just fine for me with pretty much any ratio of PG to VG. I personally prefer high VG, 70% or better, 100% if I can get it. I do have to clean them a lot more often with high VG content juice, it gunks up the coil pretty quickly. I think the bottom coil version works better for high VG since it doesn't have to wick up like a top coil.

Well gthomp and Skell....I just got my Kanger T0 bottom coil. It is definitely a cooler vape but I like it that way. I think I can chain vape better with a cooler vape. This thing is hitting VERY nicely. I'm impressed with the early returns here. Of course, I need to put some miles on it before I can call it a success. But I sure do like the early impressions. It's a 2.2 - 2.4ohm bottom coil. I have my Twist set at 3.6 volts. That yields 5.6 watts. I'm finding I usually vape at around 5.7 - 5.8 watts on a clearo. I will continue to adjust the voltage until I zero in on my sweet spot. But I'm close at 3.6 volts...likely 3.8 when I get done screwing with it. Big, heavy, thick vapor and nice throat hit. Filling these Kangers is a bit tricky. Has a little plunger on top. You fill the well above the plunger then push down the plunger and let gravity drop it into the tube...then repeat until filled. It holds 1.2mL. I didn't do it that way because it looks rather cumbersome. I have one of those microneedle syringes and I snuck it around the side of the plunger and pumped it in. Worked fine. I'll be back with another review in awhile. But so far so good on this bottom coil.

Oh the M3 looks nice :) How are they at handling vg? Is the vape cool or warm?

I've been hitting on my first M3 for the last few days and I like it. Excellent vape, TH, and flavor with little/no issues. They're made for minicig/penstyle batts cuz they are small. $3 at Carolina Vapes. The aren't rebuildable but for $3 who cares? I have burned some 100% VG and 70/30 (PG/VG) but I've had it only a few days so I can't vouge for the durability yet.

The 100% VG juices I use I've never tasted in a non 100% VG version so I wouldn't know if it was muted or not. :)

They do say VG mutes flavor though.

Well, the VG I'm using is not as flavorful on this bottom coil as it usually is when I use other devices. But then who knows what kind of crud is on my tongue today. Personally, I don't want to know. Tomorrow it might be fine.

Some days I'll be vaping one of my favorite juices and think, why do I vape anything else? Other days I'm vaping that same favorite juice and think, why do I vape this stuff?

Which is exactly why I have a bunch of flavors in my box. :)

If that aint the truth! Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. Sometimes I think there's something wrong with me. Which I'm sure there is but not as it relates to e-juice.

BTW gthomp, I see you're a verified member. What I can tell, that gives you access to the classifieds. What's on that clissifieds forum and is it worth bothering with? Is it just people trying to sell their crappy juices and busted up clearomizers to other members?

Heh. I've never even been to the classifieds, although I keep meaning to get around to it. I have no idea why I got verified except that I could. I guess I thought it might be handy some day.

I looked it up and it said you had to have Pay Pal or some other stuff. I mighta read it wrong. If you click on that little "Verified Member" thingie below your name it directs you to the page.

Well, seems like I can't handle too much PG and vaping my 70/30 VG just kills every clearo and vivi nova I've tried so.......
May just have to try these Phoenix CE3s.
Crossing my fingers they work......
