Good morning everyone :)

I started vaping a couple of months ago. I started exploring e-cigs as a means to quit analogs and I wanted to get my feet wet and get used to things before actually giving them up. So far I have an MVP, a Vamo and a K100. Wanting to find juices I liked led me to dripping and that led to RBA's, so I also have a Phoenix clone, Octo clone and an igo-l which I enjoy very much and have experimented a lot with coils and wicks.

Frustrated with not finding the juice I preferrered, I recently started DIY too and have been really surprised (in a good way) at what my first few batches have produced. So I'm finding some juices I like.

I'm an engineering student so an innate tinkerer and well versed in ohms law concepts. Now heres my next problem is finding a system for when I am out and about. Ive been using the iClear15's that came with my MVP, and they are ok. but not rebuildable and the heads are spendy. So, I've been doing a lot of research & I'm looking for suggestions on which route to try next. I've looked at carto tanks like IBeTanked, clearos, the Bulli AT-2 and the Vision Eternity interest me also.

I prioritize my vaping experience like this:
1. Flavor
2. No leaks when set up properly
3. Amount of vapor
4.TH
5. Ease of rebuilding/maintenance.

Any suggestions in which way I should look for my out and about vape?

Thanks for your opinions/experiences!

Evod or protank for bottom coil - airier, cooler draw
Vivi nova's for top coil - tighter, warmer draw

both heads are easy to rebuild using a 4/40 or 3/48 machine screw and you can use cotton for wick on the evod or protank (short wicks - and don't dry burn) but will need silica for the nova's (long wicks)

also the protank is good with any juice (glass tank - won't crack from citrus, cola, cinnamon juices - will crack when dropped on cement)

It is all somewhat a matter of taste. I use Kanger Protank and CE5 clearos. THe heads on them can all be rebuilt easily if you are determined to rebuild or they can be replaced with purchased head. I rebuild mine with Cotton yarn. Honestly I get better vapor production from my rebuilt heads than the stock ones. I have NEVER had a leak out of either. The TH is stronger on the CE5 as it is a top coil device. YMMV

Should you prefer the Vision Vivi nova can also be rebuilt. I have not used this device but many on the forums seem to like it. It also is top coil. From what I have read however you really want to be sure you get genuine VISION vivi nova and not a knock off.

Dakota I have used cotton yarn as wicking in my CE5s which are top coil long wick with great success. I imagine it would work with the vivi nova as well since from what I understand the heads are basically interchangeable between CE5 and vivi nova.
