Tanks - I Need Help

[Opinionated]

First let me say, I am not a DIY type person. I am a graphics artist and photographer... I am in no way shape or form some kind of a repair man!

I use the Ego battery 1100MAH with the 510 threads... but those tanks leak and I have to replace them consistently. I can do so cheaply (as I buy 10 of the tanks for 13.00 and replace them as needed) but it is kind of a pain...

I would like to talk to people about tanks that don't leak, and will last as long as a battery (about a year) that will screw onto my battery.. that I don't have to fix and/or learn a new trade simply to be able to smoke.

I simply want to smoke... not fix and repair. I want something to put e-liquid into and smoke it and be done with it..

I have heard Kanga tanks are good? But I have also heard about people having to learn how to repair them or some such thing too.. I don't know..

what can I purchase inexpensively that will suit my needs... is it a Kanga tank? Or another kind?

Can anyone help me?

With that battery I doubt you'll be able to run a Kanger Subtank. If you have variable voltage/wattage you could get the Aspire Nautilus Mini and some 1.8 ohm bvc coils made for the tank. The Nautilus Mini has been my most trusted not to leak tank and gives a quality vape with the right battery.

Without knowing the specifics of the battery it's difficult to advise whats available.

This is a pic of the battery I have.. if this helps..

I don't understand anything about coils.. or ohm... or understanding of wattage.. just so you know..

Hello and welcome.

There are lots of options for you. I would say that with the battery you are using go with the aspire nautilus mini. You will have to change the coil heads as needed, so buy extras. The coils will last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on the type of juice you use and how much juice you vape in a day. (The darker and sweeter the juice, the quicker it will gunk up the coil).

Leaking will be minimal, but there is always a certain amount of seepage with these things. It's the nature of the beast.

I would also recommend having a backup tank and battery for emergencies and even just for flavor change. Much easier when you have 2 tanks with 2 different flavors.

I agree sounds like your a m2l vapor, if going to stick with those battery's get a Nautilus Mini.

You have a basic battery, puts out minimal voltage, and made for the inexpensive disposable type clearomizers and tanks. You might look at the Aspire K1 which is a glass tank that has coils that can be replaced.

If you'd consider upgrading I'd suggest getting an IStick 30 watt (2200 mah) and the Nautilus Mini. The battery you have "should" power the 1.8 ohm coils in the Nautilus, but the Nautilus performs better on the adjustable voltage/wattage mods. It's a very large difference in quality of vape on the right battery.

Both are very user friendly and high quality.

You really don't need to know much about ohms law with the above ohm vapes (example 1.6 or 1.8 ohm coils of the Nautilus). The rule of thumb for EVERY vape device you'll ever own is the same... "start low power, take a draw and bump up the power, repeat. If it gets too warm, tastes funny or starts to taste burnt, back it down."

Changing a coil is as simple as screwing in a bolt into the nut.

Yeah on the back-ups.. I always keep a back-up. And I do like the darker sweeter eliquids.. that is just what I like.

So I will have to learn to change coils then.. okay.. thank you for your help.

I find the Nautilus (or mini) very simple and easy to use. The coils are dead simple to replace - just unscrew, throw away, and screw new one in.

You might want to upgrade your battery though. It will work OK on your battery, but a variable voltage battery will be much better. I use a Vision Spinner 2 battery, but that's at the cheaper end of the range that is out there.

I agree with the suggestion to have at least 2 setups in case your battery runs out, or just to have 2 flavours on the go.

Changing the coils in these is not building them. It is simply a matter of unscrewing the old one from the base and screwing in the new one. Very simple procedure. No harder than adding juice to the tank.

okay.. thank you for your advice and explaining changing a coil. Every time people start talking about that sort of thing, it sounds like auto mechanics.. lol.. just not me. I can explain nearly anything about computers and graphics programs and go over most people's heads.. but when it comes to stuff that sounds like auto mechanics.. I freeze up!

There will be some terminology that you will probably need to learn, but you don't have to build anything. It can be a simple thing. My 63 year old mother can do it, so can you.

Doesn't get much easier than that.

I understand how you feel. When I first started this nearly 2 years ago, it was like people were speaking a different language and my eyes would glaze over every time someone started taking about ohms and coils. I just wanted simplicity and reliability, now this long in and it has become a hobby that I have come to love and have even become pretty good at.

Stick with it and you'll be building coils and making you're own juice before too long.

Thanks for those, I just watched them.. okay.. so I will give this a shot! Thanks so much!

lol.. I have already been into this over a year now.. I think I might be a lot slower than you in this whole building coils thing! hahaha..

Everyone at their own pace. No rush. Some people never do which is why they make those replaceable coil heads. No muss, no fuss. When you need some support or have questions, this forum is a great place.

Yeah.. it does seem the place to be for questions!

If you get a new battery like the iStick 30 watt you'll be moving into a whole new world with the Nautilus. Very large flavor increase from where you are now.
