It all sounds good to me. There was one comment from a guy above somewhere that said 'get some wick and wire' or something like that. I agree; don't throw away all those coils, but put them in a box for when you realise how quick and easy it is to fix them up.

Thanks!

I failed to mention that: save your spent coils!!!

You're only couple days in I'd stay away from rebuilding coils for awhile till you have had months of research.

This is what I'm thinking, I already purchased 5 extra coils per tank. I'm still using the ones that the tanks have included. However I will not throw any of them away. Rebuilding just might be on the horizon.

Great starter setup. with all those protanks i would get a Kanger Aerotank replacement base. It will fit all those protanks and allow you to control the airflow resulting in more customization to find your preferred draw. Let me know if you want links. I bought one today off ebay. All the online shops i was finding were sold out. it was a 12 dollar part after shipping

I did get two in today from Avid Vaper. Just installed one and the tighter draw is fantastic.

Good call.

A coil lasts from a week to a month. And sometimes you get a dud.

Soak the coil in hot water every 3 or 4 tanks or as needed. Some juices clog the coils more then others.

I only use the Protank 2 mini. I can make them work great for me. They might suck relative to a different tank, but I can make them consistantly suck and I am happy.

I am unsure if the "burning" the coil to remove the gunk trick ever works for me. By the time I try it, the coil never becomes "brand new" again. It is just the beginning of the end.

In two months, I think I got 2 finished coils (saved for the future). I keep 3 tanks full so I can switch flavors.

-----

Your supplies sound good. I would suggest that you find 4 or 5 flavors that you like and you will be set for years. I like (Cinnamon Roll, Moo Juice and Orange Dream Bar from Mt Bakor Vapor).

After a short time, I went the Vamo V5 route and re-chargable batteries (18350's and 18650's). So I bring the Vamo and a couple extra batteries and a few twists and 3 full tanks and 15 ml of more Cinnamon Roll, and I can easily last all day (or a week).

The Vamo was like $32 and the batteries are $5-10 each. The charger (Nitecore Intellicharger) is less then $20.

I got the iTaste MVP v2 and it is nice, but when the rechargable battery dies the unit is done. It is a good deal for something in the $40 range and it came with 2 tanks that I never use.

So nail down your juices (it could all be illegal or taxed at 100% before you know it).

Christmas is coming. Maybe Santa has a Provari for you? He is crazy like that.
