spent over $700 and still havent found good ecig help

[BorealPants]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet as I was too lazy to read the entire thread (Sorry). I began vaping about a month or two ago and am still on eGo batteries and a mix of kanger pro tank minis and kanger evod glass tanks. I noticed something over the course of the last week that might pertain to your problem. When I'm out drinking or in social situations people often see me vaping and are curious. This sometimes results in them asking to try it, which I oblige.

However, I noticed when i let other people try it my tank either starts leaking, or it makes a horrible gurgling. I've come to the conclusion that it's because they're sucking way to hard on the tank which results in the juice completely flooding the little chamber where the coil is. Your problem may just be that your vaping technique is wrong. These are not "analog" cigarettes and do not require a hard pull, instead light puffs for a mouth inhale or a very light inhale for a lung inhale will suffice. I can't imagine upgrading to a RBA or a more expensive vv/vw mod will solve your problem if this is the cause. Then again I don't know because I have not upgraded myself..... yet...

I totally agree. I use to suck on my iclear 30 really hard because it was hard to draw for me compared to a cigarette. I had problems with the protank and leaking and just gave up on the thing so when I switched to the Kayfun it was a lot smoother to draw on and have not had any problems with leaking. That is another reason the right tank for you is key.

OK with the RDA'S how often do you have to change the cotton and the coil? can you not buy coils already made? how often do you have too drip juice in?

i am for sure buying provari and nautilis minis but i will buy a RDA just to see how i like it and if i can work it. Can someone reccomend a $50 RDA and tell me what accesories i need to buy with it " like what cotton and coil things" ??

Also ginnytx can i ask you something in a PM? Im gonna spend around $200 on all different juices from different companies and wanna know what fruity flavors and brands to mix
ps this is best forum ever lol

 

[PLANofMAN]

...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 ?

Start a thread in the ProVape section of the forum. Title it "Where to find a ProVari Dragon in Canada?" This should end up saving you from the hefty international shipping fee.
ProVape <<<Link.

For an RDA, I would recommend the Magma RDA clone: $15.79 Magma Style Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - 1:1 clone / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
It's well designed, solid, and virtually leak proof. It is a dual coil model, so you should probably go with 30 AWG Kanthal to get it to fire on the ProVari. Temco has the best prices Kanthal Wire 30 Gauge RW0107 - 100 FT 0.39oz Series A-1 Resistance AWG Not sure if they ship to Canada though.
As for cotton, just get a bag of organic cotton balls from the local pharmacy or store. The coils can be dry burned and reused for months. The cotton needs to be replaced weekly, or sometimes more often than that.

You will want to buy a beauty ring for the ProVari, so that 22mm atomizers don't look weird on it. Another RBA that looks good on the ProVari is the Cyclone Atomizer.
If you don't want to wrap your own coils, you can buy pre-wrapped coils from FastTech for cheap. I hope that gives you a starting point.

Edit: If you do order from FastTech, choose the ship via China Post option if you can.

My gear and Im very very happy.

itaste VTR
Sigeli 20watt with 26650 tube
Cheap Mech mod from FT Telescoping
Hammer Mod FT

Tanks
Ithaka Clone Hercules
Pro Tank 2 Mini
Kayfun Lite
Double Cross Dripper
Protank 3 mini

I think my total spend would be under 500$ and Im very happy.

 

[unsure]

For a great bottom fed mod you can get a REO.

 

[KiMB00P]

I have a Vamo V5 and a Stingray X. I personally prefer the mech over the Vamo because the flavor is there and it has a GREAT throat hit. I thought that dripping was going to be hard too but I did some research here on the forum and then stopped into my local B&M and asked them to build me a coil and teach me. It was the best $5 I have ever spent on vaping.

I suggest getting a regulated mod like a MVP2, Vamo, or Siglei, aspire nautilus tank, and then an rba (like a magma).

 

[di4medollaz]

okay i finally ordered!! Got 10 bottles of variety ejuice at eliquid.com cause they had alot of brands , then i found a site with nautilis minis and regulars for super cheap
"$19.99" for both the mini and regular. I bought 4 minis and 2 regulars and 2 5 packs of the BVC coils since the deal was so good.

The only thing left is too order my provari battery and a good box mod cause i like having at least 2 flavors on the go and i might try a kayfun light later down the road.

I hear provari 3 is coming out real soon should i wait? and are those box mods that fit juice in them like the sunbox and reogrand any good? they look like they would drip ejuice everywhere when tipped upside down? i want a all purpose WELL built box mod under $220

There are some good reasons to wait for the P3, not least of which is that the price of used V2.5's will drop. I've heard nothing but good about REO's and I haven't heard anything about sunbox...however, there is the Sunbox Skynet mod, which will turn a ProVari or ProVari mini into a bottom feed box mod. That might be something you look into down the road. The Skynet is not compatible with the P3 (at this time). If you just want a decent box mod, the gripper is a good one. For variable power, the MVP 2.0 is also a decent choice.

 

[Warlord Greebo]

Bro, I will not be a douche. But how many Nic gum packs would 700 bucks buy you?

Im like any other nicotine addict; I know it is quite strong. I admit I do LOVE the vaping compared to the gum.

However bro, Im out maybe 30 dollars in 3 months; with the full set. Only gone thru 10 ml/mo so I could be wrong.

 

[foster67]

im only out 36 bucks 700 is massive id kept smoking j/k good luck hope you find the right set up soon

 

[sir_puffs_alot]

dna 30- boxmod with nautilus will have you smiling me thinks

 

[sir_puffs_alot]

454 for ur rda cuz you have single coil, dual coil, quadcoil options, and its 65 dollar usa made authentic device...O yea and I have one ...they rock

 

[di4medollaz]

i wanna try dripper rda"s but they just look so complicated and you cant carry them around plus i dont have any info on how to use it
like how often you have to juice the cotton or how often you have to change the cotton and coils , also im not very handy and dont think i can make my own coils.
Also i dont understand what people mean by building lower ohm coils ? how do you even know the difference? bahhh confusing

Im gonna give a kayfun a try or a russian 91 cause they hold juice in them right?
After alot of reviews the hex ohm one looked real good but it looks like its more for exp users , so my final choices are "hanah mods $200" "vaporshark Rdna30 $189"
"IPV2 $150" and a "REOSMOD $189"

nOW IM JUST GOOGLING ALL THOSE CHOICES , Anyone who has tried a few of these let me know what you think. Im gonna order boxmod first while waiting on provari 3

Still very new to this but after reading thru this thread, thinking "this could be me", you might want to just slooooow down a little, do some more research here and try to figure out why what you have now is not functioning the way it should. That's just me tho.....

 

[jcutler123]

I am new to vaping and i bought the nautilus mini with the new bvc coils and an itaste vv. The nautilus mini is great I think. I wish I would have bought the itaste mvp 2 and that will be my next purchase. I also bought a rbd and built some coils but I still need to tinker with that because I am not liking it. I really do like the nautlius mini though.

 

[SeanBoy]

nothing more reliable than a Provari and a glass carto tank

 

[Markill]

RDAs aren't all that hard. I got one yesterday, and the only issue I've had so far is after using an iclear 30 on my mvp, I had to pry up the contact on it to reach my Igo w. The guys at my vape shop built a coil for me, the rewicking is easy, and i've loved every second of dripping so far. I'd definitely suggest an MVP, and either a different tank for it or go with a rebuildable.

 

[Rondo9]

like the title says i have spent well over $700 at least on batterys and a ton of different tanks and everything but 1 has either lost its vape power over a week and i would get barley no smoke or they would leak real bad or not even work well to begin with.

First at the very very beggining i bought normal ego batteries and some evod and ce5 tanks and they worked okay for around 7 days and lost their power then i eventually tried kanger pro tanks and they were even worse , the next tanks i tried were davide glassomizer ones and again they worked well for a week then started crapping out but at least i had coil replacments but even still they kinda sucked.

After all this money i decided too buy bigger batteries like the ego twist and another that had a real high mah and bought 3 different types of tanks and at last i found a decent tank that lasted 3 weeks before i switched coils and the power of the vape stayed decent.
This tank was the Ismoka BCC mega and they are plastic tanks and they actually work well so i ordered 15 tanks for $18 each and a bunch of coils and have been somewhat happy but now im on my last tank and wanna ask the pros about the best possible gear i can get.

I dont care about price , im ready to ditch the starter ego stuff and want the $140+ best possible variable voltage batterys that just work well , i will purchase 2 different ones
also i wanna buy 4 of the best tanks you can get , each one i wanna get something different to find one i really like. I looked on youtube and a few like the nautalis mini and regular and a hypertank look decent but im not sure.
The ones you drip into cotton look too hard , i want something i can set and forget and i dont really care how big a battery is or tanks i just want something awsome , again i dont care about cost

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated thanks oh and ps im trying different company juices and this killer custard from vapetasia looks decent and viper vape flavors look good but i wanna try a bunch so any reccomended flavors or places let me know , i like fruity stuff like peach and berry stuff and cinnamon and mint

sounds like what i went through. From what i read, it doesn't look like you have tried the classic Ego Type A LR ATTY. It's what i use now. Sure it doesn't look as sexy as some of the new ones out there now, but it's a very smooth operating device. I've had no leak issues or other problems. Just fill and vape. You can read more into how just got started at

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo.../599042-new-vaping-ego-type-lr-winner-me.html

As for flavors, i really like coconut, lime, and recently came away impressed with menthol flavors.

Goodluck

Have you tried NJOY yet? I'm only saying, cuz I just got 50% off a vaping kit on their site, and have tried their flavors. Their Peach Tea, tastes amazingly like peaches and tea. They have blueberry and some other flavors, but I .... you not, the flavors are pretty damn good and apparently, you can use multiple coupon codes at once as I did at check out. the codes are VAPE20 and LABOR30- just enter one after the other.

I ordered $100 worth of stuff but ended up only paying $50 for a kit, extra tanks, and e-liquid.

Even though money's not a factor for you, at least if you want to try their flavors, you wont have to pay full price...
