Relatively new, looking for some advice on here!

[Jgon]

Hey what's up ecf, this is my first post here. Gotta say I'm liking the hospitality between most of the members on here; especially the more knowledgeable ones. I started vaping about 3 months ago... At first I went to my local smoke shop to purchase the G pen, which I still have (although now I know I could have saved a lot if I would have just bought the Ego-c first). I like the G pen because of the sleek tank which looked more similar to a pen than a bigger tank like the vivi nova's. Either way, about a month after I met a guy at my university who owns his own vaporizer store in Uruguay (paulvapor.com, just incase you guys might want to check it out). So I bought a couple of ego-c upgrades from him with vivi nova tanks. I gotta say that I like the consistency of the vivi nova's with the `1.8 resistance, but I find it a pain in the .... to have to change the atomizer everytime I want to get a little variety on my eliquid selection. Basically I'm looking for some insight towards a cartomizer that is relatively well priced that will consistently provide great vapor production and reliability. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, also I'm looking for some quality american made juice. I bought some summer breeze from vaporshark which was my all time favorite but it seems like im only getting 30% of the flavor that I used to get before (maybe it's because the juice hadn't steeped enough or just the quality of the mixture.) Regardless it would be great if anybody could also help me lean towards narrowing down a smooth peachy flavored liquid with great vapor production, or even a website that is offering a good deal that I can buy a few more liquids at a good price.
**And also does anybody know if the G pen threading is 808 (because it definitely doesn't fit any 510).

Looking forward to your opinions,
- Joe

I will only vape Johnson Creek's original line (Primarily PG)...every other vendor I've tried gets me sick on the first puff. It's American made juice and is extremely high quality...IMO best in the business as far as quality control goes. As for your other question, I use a simple "tube tank" setup with a 1.5 ohm Dual Coil Cart. It's extremely easy to use and I only need to fill it once a day. They make the carts in just about every resistance available, in both single and dual coils. The Dual Coils will absolutely help with vapor production (twice the surface area, twice the vape).

Where online can I find the tube tank setup, I'd love to give it a try.

You can buy them just about anywhere. Here's a link to a website I use quite often...they also sell the carts (I'd suggest getting the 1.5 Dual Coils).

DCTank 3.5ml Polished Aluminum Caps (Smoktech)

Much appreciated !

Much appreciated !

No problem, and for Johnson Creek I'd suggest the Black Cherry or Spiced Apple Cider...both are excellent in quality, taste, throat hit and vapor. You should also give some thought into a mod of sorts..they're obviously much bigger than a traditional "ego" style battery but well worth it. I currently vape with a "young june" lavatube which works well, but I'm about to upgrade to the "Vamo" which is an absolute steal for the price at around $45. I can honestly tell you that once you start vaping with an APV you'll be shocked with what you've been missing by using the non-big battery mods.

So you would recommend a simple tank tube setup above the vivi nova's? I saw that they are cheaper on the website that you sent me in comparison to the vivi nova's

I've used both an IMO the simple tanks work much better. I have difficulty keeping the Nova's wicking system from having that burnt taste, even when doing everything possible to ensure it's wet enough. The tube tank is a completely different story. I've never had any issue with it, and once it's filled & primed it's essentially effortless and pain/maintenance free. You also get the chance to use Dual Coils rather than just 1 on the Nova and the dual coils make a huge difference, IMO. The tanks are also cheap enough that you can order a couple if you like one resistance with one juice in particular. So for example if you like Juice A best with a 2.0 ohm Dual Coil cart and Juice B with a 1.5 ohm Dual Coil, you could keep one of each filled and then just unscrew the tank and screw on the other when you want to switch flavors/resistances.

Okay I'm about to order them now off of free-cigs... Also I was wondering how long did the tank with a carto last you in comparison to the vivi nova?

 

[Jgon]

And wouldn't 1.5ohm's be a little bit of a problem on my vaporizers (ego-c upgrade 650mah, ego-c 1100mah, ego-c 350mah)?

I would also recommend the DCT tank,if you got good battery for it. As far as caro's, all I use any more is the boge brand, cheap and lasts fairly well depending on liquid blend, lighter colored liquids and thinner seems to make them last alot longer, same for the tank setup. Haven't tried the Viva Nova yeat, probably will with my next order. I have been messing the Vision Eternity and I got a pretty good idea what you are talking about with the wicking, and taste issues. But I am still optimistic about it, from some of the threads I've read on it.
