Simple is better or bigger is not always better

I started vaping last March. Over the next 4 months I was so excited to try everything and I almost did. I started with a simple Kanger Evod kit that came with 2 650 Mah battery's. I bought some Pall Mall juice 26 mg and began my first week as a non smoker. I quickly went to a 24 mg nicotine and then 18 Mg within 3 weeks. I then decided to buy an Innokin Itazte mod and bought another. I wanted the biggest and best battery's to last me on my camping trips. These would last me 1 day each not the 2 days I was hoping for. I decided I wanted a better clearomizer to hold more liquid too for my camping trips. I bought an I clear and Kanger protank 3. I stocked up on Mount Baker juice and now I was good to go. I fought with clearomizer's gurgling, coils clogging, gunking up, too strong a hit, not strong enough hits and so on. I vaped this way for 3 months - constantly fidding with the stuff. In the mean time I gave a relative my first kit, the Kanger Evod.
Now it was time to go camping, the relative has since bought more equipment so I asked If I could borrow back my Kanger Evod's for my camping trip as extra gear since I would be out hiking for 5 days my two I tazte would not last that long on one charge and they agreed. I decided to use the Kanger's the first part of my trip and save my two I tazte for the later part.
Day one I put in a new coil and fill with Halo southern classic (a tobacco flavor to not entice bears) and use my old Kanger. The day went very smooth and I actually had a place to recharge it that evening. To my surprise for the next 3 days this routine continued.
My experience was my vaping was very easy and very smooth, I never had to tinker with equipment, just enjoyed my vaping.
Upon returning home I have reordered a new Kanger Evod kit and I am going back to the way I began (minus the high nicotine) with a lesson learned.

It's the experimenting that raises the cost of vaping! You finally find what works for you and life is good. The Evod produces good flavor and vapor.

For a camping trip, a charger that will work from the car's cigarette light socket is a good thing to have. Replaceable batteries are also a good choice. I'd figure on two 18650 batteries a day for the trip. Don't forget the plastic battery storage boxes to prevent shorts from occurring with loose batteries. If you are around water, a zip lock bag full of air will make them float if the canoe turns over. Stick a piece of bright orange paper in the bag to find them easier when it happens!

to ecf wolfy528 . I don't like to tinker either but I so love vaping. I am just so glad I found something that I know will keep me happy for the rest of my vaping days and I don't have to look anymore. I honestly think if you are not smoking.......you're doing something right. :) Good luck to you and happy vaping.

For the last several months I have been almost strictly a carto tank guy...but I figured I'd better start learning how to build my own coils...you know, just in case, So I now have a Kayfun, a couple of drippers, ohms meter, wire, and the proverbial bag of cotton balls.

So I figured, what the heck. Got out some of those ol' Evods, wrapped coils, rolled cotton wicks...I forgot how good those were, and now how much better they are with cotton wicks. Who knew?
