TANK or MECH MOD

[POTENTCITY]

Well i can say i got a good strong 2 months in this vaping scene , was put on by a friend of mine who was using mechanical mods .
I went out and brought a nemesis clone with a patriot rda , he tought me the simple 5 wrap dual coils on 28guage ken wire .

Im wondering how to get the best taste out the e liquids , I see alot of people use the tank setup where you pour the e liquid into it instead of dripping it onto cotton. Im wondering whats the advantages to those setup if any , or people who use those type tanks just dont want to build coils. I tasted e liquids on those [EDITED] black pen testers at the vape shops and they all seem to taste nasty to me, but those seem to be the cheap ones.

so it comes down to this question TANK OR MECH MOD?

Best taste is probably subjective. Personally, I think dripping gets you best taste. But a very close second are the rebuildable atomizer tanks. With that said, I rarely ever drip anymore and the reason is because it is not very practical. There are tanks you can build your coil and use the wicking material of your choice. Those are called RBAs. And then there are other tanks like where you can purchase the coils or atomizers and you just replace them from time to time. Hope this helps.

There are two different schools of thought at the moment on flavor, and they both have pretty enthusiastic supporters.

Some people think you get the best flavor out of a mech mod with a dripper, just like the setup you have with your nemmy and patriot.

Others think the best way to go is a rebuildable tank like a kayfun.

I like both, but they can make the same juice taste totally different. You've already got the mech and dripper, so if you've got money to spend, try a VV/VW device and kayfun style tank.

As far as the tanks you're talking about where people don't build coils, those are a step down from either of the above setups. They're great for people who don't know how to build coils and don't want to learn, but since you've already got the knowledge there, probably not worth your time. A rebuildable tank will give you the same "fill it up and vape for a while" as a protank, but you'll get better flavor (and building a new coil every few weeks is a lot cheaper than changing out a $2 cartridge every few days).

In my opinion, you get best flavor dripping on an rda like the patriot etc. A close second would be a rebuild able tank system like a kayfun or russian. Plus with the tanks you get the convenience of not having to drip all the time.

good info apriciate it

It's a fairly subjective questions but the inherent advantages of tank systems like bottom feeding tanks such as kayfuns, taifuns, aquas, etc. and genesis-style tanks such as the kraken are that they are more practical for day to day vaping. Personally, I stick with kayfuns and foggers b/c they hold a fair bit of juice (at least 4ml stock) provide good flavor, are easy to build, and most importantly, don't leak. This is the probably the biggest advantage versus a genesis style atomizer like an RSST (I also personally prefer the flavor and wicking).
However, dripping will always be tops for me, both in terms of flavor and, ultimately, satisfaction. IMO, you just can't go wrong with a .8ohm single coil build where you drip juice right on the atomizer. This is especially true for VG heavy juices IMO. Again, this is subjective but if you find yourself vaping on the go, kayfuns, taifuns, foggers, etc. are great options. Personally, i find the airflow too restrictive at times on my kayfun/russian (even with adjustable airflow) but have found the draw on a fogger v4+ to be fantastic.

def goin to try one of those vv/vw devices , any reccommended?

I get great taste from a HH357, but it just isn't practical or convenient, so I use IBTanked carto tanks, which have great taste, as well, are are easy to use and don't leak. I don't want vaping to be work, so tanks it is...

I'll give you my experience on both choices. The RBA's and RTA's are the way to go. For tanks, I've had vivi nova's (top coil) , protanks, Nautilus, and finally a Kayfun clone. The stock heads on the vivi, protank, Nautilus, etc only last for 2-5 mls of juice, after that they become junked up. Rebuilding those heads ARE possible but a pain to do (protank was the easiest) but the Kayfun is the way to go for a tank system because rebuilding/trying out new coils are wicked easy. Dry burning and rewicking with fresh cotton is also wicked easy. I would change my cotton after every tank.

Now the advantage of the tanks are for vaping on the go, the simplicity of pull the thing out, hit the the fire button and you are vaping. The down side is that the mute the flavor of the juice compared to drippers.

You can use a tank on a mech mod but in my opinion, they are best on a variable voltage/wattage regulated device.

Well that all depends on how much you're looking to spend and how patient you are in seeking one out. DNA 30 devices are all the rage these days and they're pretty fantastic. I love my ZNA and Hana but spent some time finding them. Other DNA 30 devices are easier to find. You'll spend $200-300 on these devices. Provaris are also fantastic but I personally prefer lower resistance to my coils and higher output so it's not for me. But they are incredibly popular, well constructed, and easy to find. There are certainly cheaper ones but it all depends on what you'd like to do with it and how much power you ultimately need.

is your hana a clone? wondering how they work , they seem to be all over ebay

Just a point of clarification... not all mods work well with your tanks. Usually a mech mod is best when using a rebuildable anything simply because it allows lower resistance coils. Some VV/VW mods will work with rebuildables but not always. VV/VW mods works best when using higher resistance coils or cartomizer or vivi novas and similar tanks. I think the best option is to read some more and research before you buy the wrong tank for your needs.

Waste of money? Maybe dna30 or sx-chip with 30W... You want a mechanical? Nemesis with magnets or Stingray is the best choice imo... For regulation and more power you can get evolv kick2 with 15W power for over 1 ohm coils and also subohm but that would be "stupid" and you can use nmech without kick module for subohm. At 0.6 ohm and full battery you get a bit over 20W. Thats not bad!

Lower you go, more power and more current you produce, so remember to use quality powerful imr high drain batteries!!!!

Atomizer is also important. Kayfun 3.1 is still one of the best or kayfun lite+ v2...

Just get a Reo from Rob and be done with the debate.

so it comes down to this question TANK OR MECH MOD?

Well I think the question seems to be how to get the best taste;
and the answer is that it's not one single thing but more a combination or balance.
Having vv/vw that you can adjust gives you the flexibility to figure out what voltage or power level works best with what ohms and gauge of coil for what particular eliquid.

So I guess it boils down to having the option to adjust and find the sweet spot.

so i jus order a innokin itaste vtr for the prices of $65.00 and the reviews i seen , this is a bang for the buck . only downside i read was that the iclear 30s start to leak - anyone reccommend any option to switch to?

If you are already using a patriot rda, I think you'd want to get something like a kayfun, or russian.
Maybe a flash-e-vapor.

My normal recommendation for new vapers starting out is a miniprotank2 v2, but you are way past that already; go for a rebuildable.

(and check out the REO or v-mod. semiautomatic dripper.)

are these russian kayfun clones rebuildable with cotton ?? they work well with the innokin vtr?
