I'm sure you've seen me gush about the Herakles tank, but I'm going to do it again.
vaping has been an interesting journey, in a short time (2months). With hindsight, I wish I started at this destination, as it would have saved some money, but I would have lacked the experience and knowledge I received.
I am so thankful that Kent posted what atty he was using for a particular flavor. Yes, I viewed him as somewhat of an authority, that if he enjoyed his juice creation on particular equipment, it must be good. So I ordered the Herakles. It is interesting that in hanging out on this forum (at large) so few people mention this tank, the Arctic and the Freemax Starre tanks. This forum seems heavily weighted towards the Kanger Subtank Mini. And I have to just say no. Stop it!
Granted, as with everything, there are pros and cons, and personal needs that others find more important that may lead to the popularity of a particular device. I was flavor chasing. Clouds are a cool bonus. Once I got into building coils, I enjoyed it, and felt I wanted to continue that route. I also felt that that was the only way I would find the flavor I was seeking, to have that control. I was actually looking at the Starre tank, but I didn't get it because it was a stock coil only tank, and I wanted an RTA.
*throws money*
While I enjoyed the Subtank, and the Cthulhu, and the Lemo2, the latter two were only marginally better than the Subtank. The STM was the easiest to build on, and had the fewest issues. That probably lends to its popularity. A few of you have told me the flavor was muted in it, but I had nothing to compare to, so I thought it was great, at first.
I did have a benchmark flavor intensity I was chasing. I found ACB in the Nautilus Mini, on a more powerful boxmod (than the Spinner 4.8v max), was AMAZING at 6volts. It never tasted as good in any other atty I tried, even dripping in a Magma (clone). That's what I was searching for. That was my benchmark. The only down side there was even at 12mg Nic, with it's tight draw, I wasn't getting enough nicotine to satisfy my craving so I either had to vape constantly, or smoke. Which I continued to do. It wasn't till the Subtank, that I was getting the nic, and actually had to lower it to 6mg. That got me off the smokes. But the flavor just wasn't there. The only other recommendation was pointing to dripping, and it just didn't fit my lifestyle.
After getting the Herakles, I read reviews that describe this tank atty as being as good as a dripper. Honestly, I am so pleased with the flavor intensity from it, I can't even imagine the experience could get even better. Heck, ACB is even better than my benchmark of the Nautilus Mini.
I have arrived. vaping nirvana!
All my beloved Nicoticket juice is even more wonderful now.
Strawnilla is outta this world! I gone through nearly all my absolute favorite juices (including other brands) and all the flavors are NOW true to the descriptions. I have a few that I never would have purchased again, that are now in the top ranks. That's amazing to me.
This market is really interesting. It's amazing how quickly things are advancing, and how many new products come out. It's amazing how many people are looking for a seemingly very specific experience, and having a hard time finding it. Rebuild is a tough road, I think. it was for me. So many variables to suss out to get what you are looking for. I think I am done for a while now. I can't imagine finding a better experience. Consistency, portability, flavor, and clouds. This Herakles nailed it.
So, I thank you all that have helped me along this journey. Your help, and it was truly Nicoticket juice that helped me quit smoking.
Thank you!
