I am sick of dry hits, burnt hits, and just general frustration. I have been using a genisis atty and I have been trying all sorts of different set-ups but I haven't really worked out the perfect one yet. The only close one was a 1.3 ohm dual coil but it absolutely devoured juice.
So tonight I ordered a KFL. If that doesn't work I may just stop vaping. I've gone all day and I'm barely using nic so no danger of picking up a stinky. I am just so tired of messing with everything, I just want to vape.

A no worry, its gonna be a decent vape is an evod they will not let ya down.

Keep watching vids and wrapping nothing vapes like a well sorted home wrap.

Genesis are tricky I still have issues after wrapping probably a thousand wraps. They are good but not awesome IMO. Nothing but good reviews on the kfl by just about everyone.

I just don't get this. I have never had a leak or a dry burn with my iTaste vv's, using iClear 16's. I know I'm probably not getting the most spectacular flavor or cloud, but it's been 100% consistent and reliable, and is pretty enjoyable to me.

Is this setup so inferior that those who have been doing this a while won't even consider it? If so, I guess I'm really missing out.

I'm not criticizing... it may be that in 6 months I'll consider my current setup "unvapable." Just seems like it doesn't have to be so difficult.

Try an eroll or white cloud fling disposables.

Never worry about dry hits (as long as you keep your eroll tanks filled) or leaks again.

I'll pick up a disposable from time to time. Usually when stuff is making me mad. Or I waited too long in between orders and all of my cartomizers are shot :)
VIAWOL: sorry you're having such a hard time. Hopefully things work out for you. If you end up quitting vaping that's cool too. You can always stash your equipment in case the urge to smoke hits you.

The reason you don't understand is because your using regular iClear tanks and he's using a Genesis style rebuildable atomizer. Two totally different animals. Well, at least the Genesis is an animal. It's very tricky to set up to have consistent wicking in there, but when setup properly it can be one of the best vapes out there.

When I first got a Genisis atty I knew it was going to take me a while to learn how to set up SS wicks. I was right ;). What I did was keep at least a couple of clearos and cartos handy that I knew were dependable so I could take my time with the Geni and not get stressed.

That worked for me. Hang in there, vaping will work for you too if you go about it the right way for you :thumb:

Whoa if I could measure flavor percentage to value awesome, your @ 30-50%; when you put a proper topper on that itaste you eyes will cross and brain will blackout..
For beginners it seems like a good vape. It is very subpar --very ol skool per se' back in the stardust era. It does do one thing well, heat, they are hot as hades vapes when trying to get any kind of good cloud/flavor by turning the volts or watts up, man o man does it get hot..

Its not even proper for hack rebuilding, the design sucks IMO. Whatever your content with thats fine but as a friend vaporer I am tellin ya whoa that is a sucky suck topper..
Best topper IMO for that style of vaping is an evod no top mounted coils have come close to an evod's performance and I have tried them all.. The forum recommended to me an evod almost a year ago, I was sluggish thinking my vape is great -- it so wasnt, I was using a vivi-nova, ce4+'s, and carts. No sir I was wrong I had really bad vapes but for a new experience they were great..
I still like carts even though I have better toppers but I build my carts from scratch.

the Aspire tanks with the replaceable coils cured this for me. I also tried the kanger - seems like i have to vape for an hour or two to burn through the funk (yes i removed the plastic cap) they do work well after that. But the Aspire, once it's primed after 1 or 2 hits, great taste until the end. When i replace the coil, the old ones don't taste bad, but just don't release enough vapor - coils normally last 3-4 days each of heavy vaping for me.

We all have our setups that we prefer. I long ago stopped experimenting with different things, and while I still try new devices and toppers I tend to stick with what I know.

Dripping has always been my preferred setup, which is why I now have a bottom feeder. I have a pipe on the way because I've always wanted one, and an Aurora to go on it.

Try everything you want to, but don't try to force something to work for you. Find what you like and then look for ways to make it better.

Thanks for all the responses! I'm sorry I haven't reposted, I couldn't get into ECF. I'll have to read through and respond to everyone's comments. Just an update, I am home for the weekend and I've gotten it working. I used a torch and made I really tight coil. I switched from cotton yarn to rolled cotton. And put a kick in my mech to help keep it regulated. It seems to help enough to keep me from being frustrated.

Your setup is not inferior. No one's are really. It's just trying to find what works for your situation. I use a mech and an RBA when I'm out on the road because it won't leak and if something breaks I can normally repair it with the supply kit I take with me. Last week was just an usually frustrating experience. My wife has an itaste and iclears and I find myself using hers when I'm home.

Dripping is simply the best vaping experience for me too. Started with a 510 non rebuildable, IGO-L, then moved to bottom feeders like VMOD and REOs. I also like to dig out my other RDAs to experiment with different coils and setups.

I still use the 510 atty to test flavors and it still gives me excellent vapor and flavor.

I think every new vaper should have a 510 atty included in their starter kit to go along with their clearos. Just so they can taste what their juice is really like. IMO, dripping on a 510 atty is the least fiddly way to get great vapor and flavor.

Glad you found something else that works for you :vapor:

I think there's such a huge learning curve to those though for someone coming from no experience. When I first started, I tried a 510 drip atty because of what I had heard about flavor and vapor.

It tasted like crap and I could barely get a hit off it at all. Tried all kinds of voltages, multiple batts, multiple atty's. Nothing. Just couldn't get it to work and was tired of FIGHTING with my PV, so I ordered a clearo and stopped worrying about getting THE BEST flavor.

Now, I'm looking at getting a drip atty again, because I have a setup that will absolutely work for me all day, even if it isn't THE BEST.

Really? You think the learning curve for a 510 atty is greater than a CE5, protank or an EVOD?

I disagree, but of course that is based on my experience only. Sounds like you had a rough introduction to them, so I can understand. Some people have the same negative experiences with clearos and cartos, so I suppose it is all relative.

A non rebuildable dripping atomizer is really one of the simplest forms of vaping if you think about it. Screw it on, drip a couple of drops, do a quick no fire draw. Drip 3-4 drops more until you get a slight gurgle when drawing on it - then hit fire and vape it. Vapor gets light, drip a couple more drops.

I personally don't really see a steep learning curve here.

I'm not saying dripping is for everyone, but I really think that dripping is a simple way to get a good vape for new or experienced vapers.
