I actually have the tank that comes with the vamo, unless they've changed it I wouldn't get heads for it. Protank, or I30 would be good options for something that works well out of the box. As for the rest of it, I think you've done great, price and everything. Have any good juice to go with it all?

Thanks for the ultra-fast reply, Tommy.

Do you mean you don't like the replacement coils, or you don't like the tank... or I don't need replacement coils...? Sorry I'm confused.

Alas my juice is probably subpar.

When I was quitting the stinkies, I wanted something that felt and tasted like real cigarette smoke. Local prices being $8/10ML, I picked up a 250ML bottle of 80/20 36mg blended tobacco juice for $45 delivered, which I dilute by half with pure anhydrous glycerin I bought at the local CVS, then diluted by 10% with distilled water.

It works for now, but considering I have half a liter of the stuff it will likely last my wife and I a year or more.

I do want to experiment more with flavors, but budget is really tight.

Thanks again

is this your first mod?

the coils are fine, that tank worked well for a few days, then it would leak the contents of the tank all over the place. Happened a few times in one weeks time. I understand budget, and already having juice, but you might check a few places out when you're ready, I know some sell a 30 ml bottle for under 12$.

Hello, and yes. I only have the Evod starter kit, and my wife commandeered one of the units.

Thanks

Ok cool, got it. But with the extra Evod BDC Clearomizer (which is dual coil, right?) and drip tip, if it starts to leak, then I'm still okay right? It's all interchangeable?

ETA: looking into protank and I30 now

 

[BradJ]

Also, regarding upgrading to dual coil...

Are the "side by side" better than the "in-line"? I don't know how to describe them otherwise.

battery charger - nitecore I2 $15.05 much, much better (and safer) charger than in the kit- http://www.fasttech.com/products/1421/10001638/1119500-nitecore-i2-lithium-li-ion-ni-mh-ni-cd-smart

and get the batteries in the US from a reputable vendor - cheap (or counterfeit) batteries are the worst way to go - get the 18650 size (18350's will not last as long as an ego battery)
AW, Sony, or Panasonic

with no actual batteries you will get the order much faster but plan on 30 days or more anyway

the batteries and charger in the kit are junk and are not worth ordering (been there, done that and regretted it as I tossed them in the garbage after 40 days)
the knockoff tanks and heads are horrible (been there, done that and regretted it AGAIN as I look at them gather dust and mud (from the excessive leaking))

drip tips are drip tips, some fit, some don't

my 2 cents
