Welcome to the thread Sam... I see you met our Greeter lol.
I'm the rebuild geek (or at least I think I am) and yes, I started with a ProTank.
As far as getting a month out of a single factory-made coil, its pretty dang good. My pro tank coils were lucky to make 2 weeks! My dripper coils now, let's just say they outlast my bottles of juice...
If you are looking for something that will last a bit longer between "maintenance" take a look at the Kayfun or Russian. Clones are priced close to the Nautilus and work quite well, good performance and juice life and the build can take as little as 3 minutes with practice.
Welcome to the thread, Sam. Don't feel bad. You are doing better than you think. (Personally I have to again reset my vaping counter since I have been straight smoking since the last time I updated it. lol)
But it sounds like you are getting closer and closer.
As we have said many many times in this thread. having a comfortable, reliable vape is essential. So glad the nautty is working out for you. I, too, recently picked one up. For a tank with changeable heads, it works pretty good. Better than I had expected.
If anyone hasn't told you yet, the BVC heads are much superior to the BDC heads, at least IMHO and in the opinions of many I have talked to.
I just still find the only thing that can really handle a darker juice is a rebuildable. Not that it necessarily "handles" dark juices better, but easier and cheaper just to throw in some fresh cotton. Not that I prefer darker juices, but there are some flavors out there I have a preference for that are just darker.

There are videos out regarding rebuilding both BVC and BDC now. Personally, I don't wanna go near rebuilding those things, but that is in part that I wanted something I didn't have to rebuild, as I am restricting my play time more and more lol. But yes, it IS possible. There are some youtube vids out on both.
But I do agree with you on the backup thing. To me, one of the first rules of vaping is have a backup and have a backup for your backup. Because once you do get some "vaping-without-smoking" time under your belt, the worst thing to happen is to start the struggle all over again not because you had a slip in willpower but malfunction in gear/juice order not getting to you in time/etc.

I've been using a cartotank with my Blueberry Muffin/Banana Nut Bread -- that Banana Nut Bread is nearly black -- and it works great! I switched to the cartotank from a Mini Protank II, because I just kept getting that hot metal taste with this juice, maybe because it's such a gunker. I do have to change the cartos about weekly, to keep it tasting good, but otherwise, it works perfectly.
It's a Smok UDCT, but I don't use dual-coil cartos, can't abide dual coiled ANYTHING; I use single-coil 3 ohm 2-hole cartos, which are also Smoktech. Never a problem with this juice in those cartos, except as I said, they don't last the usual 2-3 wks, but only about a week or so before the taste starts to suffer a little.

Wait, wait. Do you mean you started rebuilding with a protank? I asked because that is how I got started down this horrible path myself. 
I didn't start rebuilding until etherealink made me build my own coil for the kfl I took from him.

I started with a T3S... THEN I did a mini PT II... both are pretty small, but I think I preferred the T3S. Those tiny-coil building skills came in handy today, I just got my new Igo-S, and that thing is tiny. So instead of my usual 7/64 drillbit, I used a 3/32. I also liked 3/32's in a T3S, but you have to mount it "freestyle" since the drillbit won't fit in the slots; same for the mini PT II.

Any mixers here can give me a recommendation on percentage on a particular flavor?
Loranns Butterscotch for 50/50 PG/VG and 100% VG
Loranns Butterscotch for 50/50 PG/VG and 100% VG
Nope, went from a pro tank to an innokin i30 and to drippers and big clouds. Tanks aren't the same anymoreWait, wait. Do you mean you started rebuilding with a protank? I asked because that is how I got started down this horrible path myself.
I blame everything on him. He's always making me do something. Lol
Ahhh. I got the protank partly on the good reviews, but mostly because I saw a video from Grimm that showed him rebuilding one. I thought, well thatll save money, get a protank, some silica and wire and just rebuild the heads. That was my first rebuild. Still using an ego, btw. Then the IGO-L, still on an ego batt. Then it all went downhill from there.
Id stay around 10%. If you have straight pg and vg start playing with the flavor at 1ml sizes in the pg/vg ratio you want and find your % before you mix it with nicotine.
Always use syringes, and get ejuicemeup... calculator
Also this calculator -- DIY E-Liquid Calculator Ten Flavors With Nicotine Plus PG/VG Adjusting -- it's great if you want to mix in other ejuices, or additional nicotine sources -- like the WTA!
