Okay, is it just me or is it that every new PV, whether a mini or a mod or whatever the case may be - after a couple months or so it just doesn't seem to WORK the way it used to? Went from a V4L to a VOLT to a Silver Bullet. Still using the same MaxxFusion Bloog cartos that I bought in the summertime. I only have and use the SB now but it just seems like it doesn't hit like it used to - cartos are only worth a damn for a day or two and I do not vape heavily by any means. Just seems like any new device I get is great for about a month before it just seems like it craps out on me. Maybe I'm just getting used to it? I have no idea. It's frustrating though. Anyone else?
I also felt that way, for the first few months I was vaping I bought nearly every Mod out there searching for that perfect Vape, one that remained constant each time I used it. What I discovered, after buying nearly 60 Mods and numerous cartomizers and many attys and tanks and "special" accessories, Was that ALL devices work on the exact same principal.
So, after 8 months of vaping, I have my favorite devices or Mods, and my favorite juices and carts, but I have also discovered my favorite Batteries, and my favorite WAY to use each of the Mods. For dripping, a good LR 1.5 debridged 510 or 306 atty with an Empire drip shield provides the best results for me as far as flavor and vapor production. This also applies to my most favorite bottom feeder Mod, without the drip shield, The REO Grande.
For Carts, I prefer the smoketech 1.5 ohm clear carts in the dual coil clear case. I dont like the extra large cartomizers that hold 5ml of juice, they just dont give me the vape I prefer.
The trick is to use Good quality batteries, AW IMR 18650s (or any size I need) are among my favorites. The 26650 battery in the Helix cant be beat for days of 3.7V vaping without a recharge on the battery.
Good Batteries, The best atty LR and a great drip shield makes for a perfect experience....if I had discovered this 7 months ago I would probobly only have 5 or 6 Mods instead of 60 and I would not have been searching for that perfect Mod...it aint the Mod...its the set up and battery....trust me on that.
