So many choices, unsure what to buy.

+1 on the V5 and welcome to ECF.

I had been vaping for almost two years when my ego starter kit batteries finally just couldn't hold a charge anymore (650 mAh). Being stingy I decided to just stop altogether and end up going what I see on the forums as "analog". Trying to make a decision on what to get with so many choices now a days is starting to make my head spin.


I was using just the standard 510 atomizer for about 6 months, but for some reason I always seemed to kill them even when I was cautious not to dry vape. Switched over to a 3.5 ml vivi nova tank and used several of them in a span of a year and a half. Always seemed to have a problem with them also, either they would crack from the eliquid (tried to stay away from the ones listed as bad on mtbakervapor) or after 4-5 days of use the flavor would become extremely mild. I also tried several resistances and the 1.8 ohm seemed to work the best for me. I went to the local shops for help but the people at each one seemed to be just as clueless on how to solve the problem.


I planned on buying the ehpro sentinel and octopus rda from madvapes until I read on the forums that it is not a good idea till I try a variable voltage/wattage battery. It was going to end up costing me around 80 bucks for everything I needed plus backups.


So now I am unsure what to buy. I greatly appreciate any help I can get in what to buy and where to buy it from. Oh and if you buy your eliquid online where do you buy it from? I always like to see if I can get a better deal.


Thank You

I also live in Tucson and have found a couple of good e juices here in town. Sparky's at River and La Cholla is one of the best and reasonably Priced juices in town. He also has the Vamos in stock as well as the MVP. Southwest Smokeless has some good prices on apvs and tanks, good guys to boot. Old Pueblo Vapors has good juice, so I have heard. They also carry tanks and devices. There are definitely a good handfull of vape stores in town that I would go to for devices and such. Freedom Smoke USA is one place I would avoid. Juices aren't bad for flavor, but they rarely get the nic level correct. Lit Mist at Wetmore and 1st is a new store and have been awaiting shipment of new devices and tanks, it's where I got my iTaste SVD for around $65 + batteries. But like I said, they are waiting on shipments. Vape addiction on Ina has a great selection of mods, but they don't make their own juice and it's a bit expensive. Good people though.

I personally love my SVD with an iclear 30b tank. Hit me up if you need some advice on a local shop as to What they sell and prices. I have found that I go to different shop for different things.

Another vote for the MVP V2!!! I've only had mine for the past 7 days, but so far a vast improvement over my 350Mah Ego Mini!!! I originally purchased the MVP for "Home Use Only", and planned to keep the Ego as my "Travelling Vape" but the MVP goes pretty much everywhere w/ me as of late... I'm either considering purchasing another or Going for a VV/VW Tube mod like the Evic or the Smok SiD, which are still in the same price range as the MVP, for the Most Part... Still haven't came to a conclusion yet, but the want is there but not enough to justify the "Need".. Vaping is my new Hobby and w/ most hobbies it's going to cost!!!!

I'd like to spend less than 100 on a new setup, but not sure if that is possible.

Shapes really don't impact my feelings towards a unit. I mean it could be in the shape of a shoe for all I care, as long as it performs well.
The thing I am worried about is I had two batteries, so when one of them died I always had the other ready to go. I checked out the Vamo v5 but it seems that the sites I look at them have them for around 60 then I still need good rechargeable batteries, charger, tank, and etc.. At the same time an APV like that could allow me to have full use of one unit all the time.

I see the general concensus is a Vamo v5 with some sort of Kanger tank. Although I have no idea how one person was able to buy a Vamo v5 and two of those panasonic batteries for around $55 + shipping. I mean all I am seeing is the Vamo for 55+ alone.

My first Vamo V2 was $31+ free delivery. My Vamo V3 incl. Nitecore charger+ 2 Panasonic 2250 mah batts was $57+ free delivery. Both from China and Stainless Steel but now not possible to order Mod batts from China unless it's specialty delivery= $$$$$.

The Vamo V5 is just $32 at Fasttech I've found the Panasonic 18650B batteries for around $12-$15 on average. Maybe a bit over $55, but still doable for less than $60.

My personal favorite is the kanger mini tank2. Fits the cheaper ego batteries and amazing vapors from it.

Was it this same model as the link below?

Buy Kanger Mini Protank 2 | Purchase Kanger Mini Protank II Glassomizer

Where did you get yours from? They have it on sale for $13.99 right now, is that a good deal?

 

[itskohler]

That's a pretty decent deal if that's what you're looking for. I spent more than that on my carto setup but that's just because of personal choice,
