The Vaping World is leaving me behind.

Another thought I just had, something like the new Mi-one might be a great choice. You can use the joyetech AIO coils in it and it has a restricted mtl draw. Cost isn't outrageous either.

He's been difficult to dial in. He says he truly wants vaping to work but what we've tried thus far hasn't satisfied enough to keep him off the smokes, though I'm sure A LOT of it has to do with willpower. Always airflow turned way down, different resistances from about 0.75 to 1.8 and nic from 6-18 commercial and DIY and he still coughs a bit. We are both pretty hopeful that something with more restrictive airflow will be more to his satisfaction.

Have you tried different ratios of pg/vg? I almost gave up vaping until I found 100% vg eliquids. Even max vg I can't inhale without coughing. I have to hold it in my mouth and exhale through my nose. I've talked with others and it's the opposite. An easy test is to try 100% vg an see if that's tolerated better. It's naturally sweet so doesn't need flavoring.

Most of my mixes are 60/40 or 70/30 vg/pg but you make an excellent point, I will factor that into my experiments from here on out. He says he wants sweet, the best luck we've had so far in that front was a very sweet commercial fruit Loops (unknown ratio, likely high vg since it was only available in 0, 3 and 6) but he said the 6mg was too low.

You can pick up a small bottle of vg at any pharmacy. Some heavy smokers need high pg. This is an easy way to test.

I vaped vivi novas for 3 and a half years. Today it feels like sucking a milkshake through a straw. I really don't know how it happened but I saw a bellus tank and a subtank mini and decided to give it a try. they were cheap so I thought what the hell. Building coils is as simple as watching you tube so needless to say I gave it a shot and ain't lookin back. With their airflow adjustments it's easy to tone all that hot vaper down. Made me wonder why I was so worried about trying something new. I was old school but really should have given the new school a chance way before.

Finding something that works consistently is the trick of vaping. Any monkey can put a coil into a base, fill with juice and vape. Its the ones who decide to go the extra lengths to improve their vape, yes it takes time, patience and some fumbles along the way but the end result is a better vape experience that causes you to kick yourself to why I didn't start earlier. I had heck of a time researching something to replace the protanks that were beginning to bottleneck my vape journey. It took months before I broke down then entered a coop selling subtank mini's, it was the RBA that sold me. I haven't bought any gear in almost a couple years, still hitting on my old mechs, IPV2, couple DNA30 boxes and faded provaris..can't get any more old school that.

Guys, I do not want to build coils unless I have to. Have to being the operative word. Necessity is the Mother of Invention so who knows where I will be once my vaping stash runs out. I really do appreciate all the feedback. Thanks again. I do not feel as helpless or hopeless as when I first made this post.

I started stocking up on RBAs long before I ever started building coils. I really, really didn't want to build my own coils. But, I didn't wait for a vapocalypse to start building. I started building because I was so frustrated with the QC on the cartomizers I used in my carto-tanks. The KFL is very easy to build on. It's very forgiving. And, its perfect for MTL.

Start at 25w give you coils time to brake in. then you can up the wattage.

25W?!!! I usually vape at 7.5W. Never higher than 9W. It's the eLeaf iStick 20W that started the whole Tootle Puffer terminology. The iStick 20W didn't have buck ability. People were making fun of us for being tootle puffers who couldn't even handle 8 or 9 watts. So, we ran with it. (Actually, I think it was Katdarling who ran with it.)

As tank goes, there's many now that outdoes the Nautilus mini but still is in the same range of experience for MTL, including RTAs. The classic Lemo2 for example and I'm sure many could jump in and tell you all about the Kayfun tanks.

The Lemo is way too airy for me. It might be a tootle puffer atty, but certainly not to me.

  The New Nautilus 2 with the Zelos mod (50w) just came out. Just an idea... Takes all the same coils as the old ones. You have 6 diff types to choose from...might be your style. I still rock my ole Naughty Mini.. was excited to hear about the new one but it's all the same coils it not much diff than the old one so I didn't get it. The mod might work for you.
