So, I'm at the point where my basic kit needs to upgraded

[Josephmbk]

Got paid today. First things first, ordering juices from about 3 different new vendors, so far I really like my peach from myfreedomsmokes.com.

Have the Ego C type B. So far it has kept me off of the analogs, but I want something "more." One thing that has expedidited my need to purchase is one of my atomizers (not just the head) is dead. It worked, and then it rolled under my leg on the couch and I think I somehow snapped it and now NOTHING. Tried 2 new heads and it is dead. Not DoA, but yes, I killed it. Gotta say, my biggest pet peeve so far is not the occasional leakage but the liquid in the mouth; that collection of juice that stays in the top of the tank. Don't know how to prevent it, but it always accumulates and makes vaping ore hassle-some.

So far I have ordered 2 apparent knock offs of short wick clearomizers and boy did those disappoint. Before I pull the debit-card trigger and go buy a Provari, I think I will use my allotted PV budget to finding my atomizer "method" of choice. I unfortunately did not get the VV ego batts, just the 10000mah ones.

This is my plan of attack and I want flaws pointed out if you would be so kind.

1) giving clearomizers a real chance and getting them from MadVapes instead of some crud place.

2) Want to try cartomizer tanks! It is my belief that 3.3 volts will be insufficient to truly test these hence number 3

3) VV ego Batts.

4) Mini Novas gotta try those.

I want to figure out which setup I want to use before going all out on expensive PV's. I believe the VV ego C is a way to do this.

Are the VV batts a necessity in this trial period? Trying to learn about volts, watts, ohms; all a bit much to take in without hands on experience. Thank you for any feedback!!!

When you venture away from the Ego C tanks, having more voltage will be an asset in testing other delivery systems. But if you stay away from high resistance (2.8 ohms +) you won't need all that much more. I vape at 4 v and often less on the 2.4 ohm head of the Vivi Nova. So, a 6 V device isn't an imperative.

 

[Josephmbk]

Thank you flyer, I always appreciate your input!

The ego C tanks are great for what they are, hell you could say I owe my life to them. So how far could I go with 3.3 standard ego batts with all the variations?

Should I just try all these mods with my standard batts and go LR with all of them and save that money towards my coveted high-end PV? Or, will the VV ego batt help me assert which is truly best?

Like Flyer said, I have a Lavatube that goes all the way up to 6v, but I rarely go over 4.8. Get an Ego C Twist if you don't mind the length.

The boge lr 2.0 cartomizers have been a good set up with a riva/ego battery for me. I have a vv unit and a 6v pv but that set up has been low maintenance. Depending on how much liquid you go thru, they last a fair amount of time. I'm not a heavy vaper and one lasts about a week for me.

 

[Josephmbk]

don't mind the length at all. I would carry a cannon should it....well...not REALLY, but you see where I am going. Yes, I don't want a Provari for 6v, (mostly the safety features and warranty) but would it behoove me to get an Ego C twist to truly experiment and get the best verdict on my vaping style?

Just stay with low resistance, 2 ohms and lower, your Ego battery will perform better and might buy you some time to save up while improving your vaping. Almost anything will be better than the little Ego tanks you've been using. I agree with you, even though there are a lot of ways to step up from the Ego, they did the same for me. Without them, I might have given up on vaping all together.

SO scratch the twists? I am very ok with that. Will it run the Novas at 3.3v?

 

[RiverNut]

Are you talking about the Vivi Nova from Madvapes?

 

[Flyer]

Your Ego will certainly work well with the low resistance heads in the Vivi Nova kit, but the battery life will probably be reduced. The twist will give you more voltage options, and a little more battery life. The Twist is not a bad way to go, but for me personally, it was just a stepping stone to a system that had much better battery life. There is nothing wrong with taking your time and moving up incrementally.

Since the Vivi Nova is made by Vision, there are probably a lot of vendors selling them. I bought mine from gotvapes.

 

[Josephmbk]

Are you talking about the Vivi Nova from Madvapes?

yes. I am unsure if it will work with such a low amout of volts.

 

[RiverNut]

Those things are the best vape I've had so far...very good. You should probably get some of the 1.8 ohm spares if you didn't already. It will be best for 3.3v. You really don't need a VV device if you can get the same ohm atty consistently. My 2.4 atty actually reads 3.0 on my Provari.

Should this be my first stop? I think I will want to try carto tanks as well. As far as single or dual coil; that is greek to me atm

 

[RiverNut]

Forget about cartos...they SUCK.

 

[Flyer]

I think you should definitely try carto/tanks. Just remember to get low resistance carto's for use on your Ego. I would also recommend not using dual coil carto's I think you will be very disappointed in them.

Thank you for your diligence. The new members forum is where we can save lives.

But even LR carto tanks will work with my basic ego batt?

 

[Josephmbk]

Please explain. I see grimmgreen and pBusardo with them all the time. I haven't tried them so I don't have any vantage point here.

 

[Josephmbk]

in fact I believe that topic surely it has been done already deserves a new thread. Cartotanks vs. clearomizers.

 

[RiverNut]

I know and I don't get it at all. The flavor is not even close to Ce2 type attys and they're very inconsistent. This is my personal opinion of course and seeing that some people like them maybe should try for yourself. I wouldn't bother with a tank though until you know weather or not you like the carto itself.
The other issue I had with the cartos is the taste of the poly fill and it gave me a scratchy throat
