This clearomizer malarkey - Aspire BDC/Anyvape Davide Mega?? And where to get in UK?

[Glenn_K]

I bet you'll be happy with an Innokin APV. You do understand that for the iTaste, you will also have to buy batteries and a good charger? The nice thing about the Innokin VV V3 and the Innokin MVP is that the batteries are built in, and you can recharge them using a USB connection.

Thanks for this - I'm getting sold on the iTaste! Like a previous poster said - wish I'd known all this before I went and bought an eroll!

Spending money on things that end up in a drawer is like a rite-of-passage for most of us. Just remember how much $$$ you're saving by not buying cigarettes (sorry about the $$$ -- I can't figure out how to do a Pounds symbol).

You mean the iTaste VTR and the 134 you need batteries for, right? The VV v3 and the MVP 2 have them built in. They're all under the iTaste line I think. Can be confusing. I'm considering the VTR next maybe, since I've been so happy with the VV v3 and the MVP 2. Would be nice to have something that'll last a few years. Then again, unless the price drops on the VTR a great deal, I may just spend the extra $50 on top of the VTR price and get a Provari.

I'm overwhelmed by the response - thank you!

I also ordered an Ego-C a few days ago.... before I did my research on clearomizers (am i getting that right? eroll/ego-c = atomizers and Aspire/iTaste = clearomizers??)

It's not like I have money to burn (lol) so am feeling a bit dumb now - it seems like the aspire/Davide/iTaste would have been a better purchase. Does anyone have a take on the difference in terms of usability and experience between the two types? Or is it more of a personal preference?

I will definitely post when I get my new stuff - at this rate I'll be able to do a complete newbie take on the eroll, ego-c and aspire or similar.

Thanks again x

Interesting... I heard the eroll wasn't much on throat hit, but I figured if I was in a situation where stealth was important, I'd rather be sure I have a way to get my nic fix then not have a way. I was also looking at the panda cigalikes. However, if I can get throat hit AND my nic fix with that little ego type....

Don't let the size fool you. Kicks like a mule. Diff between my SD KeyRing is it's automatic and thus no lit button= true stealth. The mini eGo is manual and has a lit button. Another mini eGo is the Vision Mini which weighs in at 400 mah- also manual.

I know I'm a total newb - but I think the throat hit on the eroll is good.

Ego is a type of personal vaporizer with a built in battery. You can use either clearos or atomizers and cartridges on it. Aspire usually makes clearos, but it think they have their own brand of ego type batteries too? Could be wrong. iTaste is Innokins line of personal vaporizers. They have the ego sized, built in battery types like the VV v3, the larger, box shaped MVP2 and the types where you can remove and replace the batteries like the VTR and 134. Innokin also makes clearomizers (plastic, tank like topper to hold and deliver e liquid with built in coils or atomizers that heat the liquid into vapor). Their clearo line is called iClear, and they have the 10 which holds 1 ml of fluid, the 16 for 1.6ml and the 30 for 3.0 ml.

 

[Tinkiegrrl]

Kanger is also a good company to know about. They are also known for mainly clearos. I would recommend their Mini Protank II's, which are glass and steel tanks that come with a bottom coil (heating coil and small wicks to deliver fluid from the tank) that are easy to change out and even rebuild if you want to. The Protanks come completely apart for cleaning and replacing parts and use no glue.

 

[Tinkiegrrl]

You eroll is a system that includes a small, personal vaporizer (the battery) an atomizer (heats the liquid) and a cartridge to hold the liquid.

 

[Tinkiegrrl]

The aspire clearos are glass or plastic, and the BDC stands for bottom dual coils. Meaning, they use bottom coils like the Kanger protanks, but they have two coils in one for greater flavor and vapor. Kanger's Protank 3 also uses bottom dual coils and Innokin came out with their own version of bottom dual coils in their iClear line. You could tell their bottom coils from their top coils because the add a b to the name. IClear 30b for example. Sorry for the multiple posts. I keep thinking of more to add. It's a lot of info to learn, but I'm finding its kind of fun.

 

[Toblerina]

Thank you guys! I'm starting to feel like I know what I'm talking about (a bit!)

 

[djsvapour]

Wow...I kind of missed all this.

Just to say. iTaste VV v.3 can be had for £30 with 5 iClears.

iClears are good because the atomiser heads (replaceable) can last a long time compared to Kanger replacements.

I have most of the current crop of clearos on the market, I sway more towards the small/mini versions of everything so I can take them out and about with Vision Spinner batteries. Also, the small Protanks seem less prone to gurgling than the bigger ones.

If you have ordered an eGo-C you will either get just a battery or a complete "kit" with Joyetech atomisers. I don't like this system and do not recommend it. However, the battery will work with any type of clearomiser on the market.

Beware of rip-off vendors.... I saw a widely used product (Innokin MVP.2) on sale today for £69.99 from a supposedly "good" vendor. Quite why vendors charge what they like is beyond me, when it takes 2 seconds to "google" almost anything. The MVP is £39.99 from

Myepack.co.uk

to be honest, they are one of the best vendors for clearomisers. Other than that, I like and use..

Uk Ecig Cabin

LT Ecigs

Good luck.

There's a new kit out for the MVP2, which may explain why some vendors maybe have them on sale for low prices, and why others may not. The MVP 2 Energy kit. Colorful boxes that come in various designs and one of the new iClear 16b clearos in a matching design. A bit too much color for me, but some vendors may be clearing out their inventory of the iClear 30, and iClear 16 kits. The energy MVP kits appear to have the same specs as the iClear 16 kits, except with that new clearo, and they have a wrapped look. I can buy a wrap for my MVP if I want flowers or something on it. For now, I love the black grain aluminum on mine. Who knows though. Innokin tends to listen to reviewers, and may have improved on something tiny on the new kits. The pressure needed to press the fire button for example. This isn't an issue for me, and if it takes more pressure then other compatible PV's, that's actually a plus as I tend to just throw the MVP in my bag and go. I don't want it to fire accidentally. Still, some reviewers have complained about it.

It's been recommended to me that I try something called an Aspire BDC. At the moment I only have an atomizer e-cig (the eroll by Joyetech). Whats the difference between the two types of e-cig? Would I have to buy a battery to go with the clearomizer? Are they relatively easy for a complete newbie to change the coil (is this the same thing essentially as an atomizer?)

Is there any difference between the Aspire BDC and the Anyvape Davide Mega? Can anyone recommend a good supplier in the UK?

I've gotten the impression that this is a better way to go for a moderate/heavy vaper....

Thankyou! Sorry for all the rambling questions! x

You can get a pyrex tank either Anyvape Davide, Aspire Davide, or Kanger Protank.

Inside of the tank is a metal head you can unscrew out to replace every few days, weeks or months depending on how much usage. This metal head is the atomiser head containing the heating coil.

I recommend if you get an Aspire or Anyvape bottom coil changeable (BCC) get the one that uses the same atomiser head as the Protank 1&2; it is a pretty common atomiser head.

An ecig consists of :
- electric power source (plug-in cable or battery)
- atomiser (contains the heating coil)
- tank (contains the eliquid)

Apparently the battery threading on the eroll I hear it is not 510 or ego ! so apparently it won't work on popular 510 threaded stuff without an adapter.

It looks like the iClear 16b is a bottom changeable clearomizer, and I assume it's dual coil like the regular 16. Interesting to see clearo mfc's converging on a single design (e.g. PT3, Davide BDC, Aspire BDC).

Is it just me, or do the new MVP patterns make it look thinner? Kinda like wearing a shirt with vertical stripes is suppose to make me look like I weigh less.

Dual coil is a property of the atomizer, just as ohms is a property of the coil.

But perhaps dual coil will come to mean "capable of dual coil"; afterall, if a tank is designed for a dual coil atomiser, it means the space for the atomiser is BIG ENOUGH for an atomizer that has to contain 2 separate coils.

Now I'm going to have to go check the dimensions of the MVP that comes in the Energy kit. You're right, they do look smaller. All the other specs are the same. Watts and volts capabilities and the battery life. If they actually DID get that battery smaller, I'm going to kick myself. I have small hands, and a smaller version with the same capabilities and battery life would be great for me. I'm on my phone though. Anyone know if its the same MVP 2 with just different color options, or if they made any improvements at all?

The eRoll uses proprietary atomizers and cartridge. 510 and eGo threaded accessories will not work on the eRoll.

thanks; i better correct that before the edit timeout

This is true, but i'm not sure I get your point. With clearomizers, the atomizer and tank are inseparable (in a figurative sense, I don't mean physically). Each mfc uses a proprietary atomizer (the PTs and Davides are the exceptions, insofar as they can use the same replacement heads).

I hope we're not confusing the hell out of the OP.

I just watched the PBusardo review of the Aspire DBCC, i'm ordering a few tomorrow: A PBusardo Review - The Aspire BDC - YouTube

These look awesome, especially the atomizer construction, which makes PT heads look like they're hand made by arthritic amateurs (like me, only I don't have arthritis, i'm just klutzy). According to the review, the Aspire heads last past a week. PBsardo rated the Aspire BDCC as high as 4.8 out of 5, and said it is now his recommended clearo (replacing the EVOD).

If you're new to clearos and want to check these out, be sure to get the kind that have a glass tank -- there are something like 4 different versions of this clearo, including the Aspire Vivi Nova BDCC, not to be confused with the Vivi Nova top coil clearo. It looks like most of these Aspires have 510 threading but there is one model, the Aspire ET-S, which has eGo cone threading, which will look better and be sit with more stability on eGo-style batteries. The ET-S has a glass tank.
