It sounds like user error. Know body likes to hear that. If you stick with a thing long enough you figure it out. Then go from there to decide which is working best? Lots of advice on ecf about what the user can do to make a thing work better. It's search and read a lot thing. Depends on the symptoms etc

Sorry you've had so much problems!

Welcome and congrats on quitting the smokes.

My favorite and easiest set up is MVP 2.0 and a Kanger V2 w/a sub ohm coil 0.8 ohm have several actually.(have the Mega with the sub ohm coil, that and the V2 are the closest thing I've found without using a rebuildable, they are juice sucking monsters though, not as much as a Kayfun, but approaching, it but great vapor and taste)

I'm a fruity /desserty in tastes too. Mother's Milk by Suicide Bunny universally is loved by friends that ask about vaping stopping smoking (vaping it right now)
I have about six flavors in tanks ready to go at a whim of craving ...Queenside by Five Pawn, orange & sweet cream, with coffee vape. Scouts Honor, 7th & Grand, green apples. Mangrila, Alice & Vapeland, mango goodness, Frankenvape by The Standard, another all day vape I love, kiwi marshmallow (yeah I know rigth? but it's good) Mother's Milk, I love it what can I say, strawberries & cream yum, I keep a tank of Hoops, Alpha Vape, melon goodness, and some DIY Blueberry Icecream. (and one with Claim Your Throne, Ed's fave, Butterscotchy goodness.)

Your tastes will evolve so unless you just LOVE LOVE LOVE it crave it stuff..stick to the 15 and 30 ml bottles, or you end up with a flavor graveyard, which we end up trading back and forth with friends/family that vape..so no losses. And you find new stuff you love that way. Taste at local B&M I had a craving for Vaping Rabbit's White Rabbit (blueberry shortcake with lemon and darn it they're all out as is their website, so I'll have to wait)*lol*

find what's best for YOU, see if the folks at a vape shop or others in your area will let you try out their gear, I found they're more than willing and eager to do so...

good luck!

    I hate to say this BUT, no e-cig is going to work unless you take the time to learn how to use it properly!

    I will say that once I learned how to make e-cigs work properly, I can figure out how to get the satisfying vape that I want out of about any device that you would care to hand me.

    Once you know what you want .......... then it's easy to find the device that fits your needs best.

    That's the biggest thing right there,getting to know you're equipment as much as possible as well as nic level that works and yourself..

    I've spent money on all kinds of mods and ton's of tanks and did the whole kayfun thing and drippers, made my own mods and coils ect..
    After all that i end up with my two vv/v3's and my MVP V2 with simple kanger T3'D tanks and a few flavors that work well for me.

    I found my niche and now it's, once every 3 weeks i go get replacement coils and some juice. life is good.:vapor:

    A lot of that other stuff just sits around now not doing much,but without it i would have never found my niche.

    gotta find your niche.

    IMHO there are a lot of sellers right here in the USA. I have been burned before (not only on vaping equipment) from sellers from China/Ebay. The saving grace is that Ebay refunded my $$$...so lesson learned for me


    same here, and paypal, they don't make it right, it's refunded. I've had one crap spinner and other than that, fared very well buying on ebay..I still don't have my fast tech's first order in yet *lol*

    they just lose their power after a few days and barley let out any smoke , even when i would put on a fresh battery wich i have 3 ego twists it was terrible.
    But then again i only used the pro tank 1 and 2 then never tried another again. I been using fully plastic tanks ever since and am goona 1 last time try other tanks thats why i wanna try the best , if not i guess the imsoka will have too do.

    I have taken everything into consideration and decided too go with the provari and am gonna buy 1 nautilis and 2 minis with a coil pack.
    The problem is i want the dragon one and provape is out and my local store i just called and they have only the zombie.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction for the dragon ?

    What happens after you clean the tank and replace the coil? It still doesn't work?

    The problem might not be the battery, but the tank. If that's the case, Provari won't solve your problems.

    I went from regular ego t to vision spinner w kanger 3 to provari with a Sophia empowered tank and I am very very satisfied. I have not ventured to subohming and cloud chasing. Was little intimidated by the idea of tinkering that comes along with Sophia but if I can do it anybody can.... Good luck on your journey. I am sure you will find the vape you are looking for!

    New to vaping myself and have spent some cash on things I wish I never bought. I have never tried them, but maybe you should go for a mod/pv, maybe one of those "sub-ohm". I see people get large clouds from them, just make sure you can get a battery that goes low voltage.

    I hate to say this, but I have tried 12 dollar tanks up against those disposable 3 dollar tanks and was shocked at how the disposable outperformed.

    Hope you get the right set up.

    Also: Are you replacing the atomizers every few days and washing the tanks out?
     
    Honestly I'm a noob and found dripping to be easier than any clearo, I'm using an MVP 2 and magma rda. It seemed really hard but after a night I figured it out. But I have heard good things about cartos. Nautilus has been a huge pain for me but with bvcs some (most) people have pretty good luck, just gets expensive to keep buying coil after coil with dripping. 30 bucks you're set pretty much forever with cotton and kanthal.

    I too started out with the ego stuff. I quickly bought the innokin VTR. Similar to the MVP but the tank doesn't stick out the top like the MVP. Downside is you have to charge the battery externally. It only adjusts to 12v 15watts and just didn't cut it for me. I moved on to the kayfun tanks and a mechanical mod. I love them but I couldn't get the flavor I was looking for so I bought a cheapo RBA dripper and that is what vaping is all about. I sold all my kayfuns and VTR and just drip all day everyday. Flavor, smoke, and maintenance costs are all fantastic. Watch a rip tripper video build your coil 1 time and all you need is cotton and a battery. If I want to change flavors a quick rinse in the sink pull out the old cotton slide in some new add ejuice and vape full flavor

    For me the tank is the most important part of the equation. Once I got a Kayfun and Russian my vaping experience improved greatly. I'm an old man and I'm telling you buiding coils is so easy. Attaching the coil is much harder than building the coil if you have arthritis like I do but I can still do it. I sat with my Russian of weeks before I got brave enough to build the coil. I now laugh to myself about it. I've been using the same coil now for over a month no problem and great vaper flavor and production. With the good clones available you do not have to spend a ton of money on a good tank. I have more problem with not really loving the juices more than the tank or battery holders. Try rebuildables is my suggestion.
