Today, I hate all of my gear...

[Sm0kyBlue]

Awwwwwww luv you too hun. I like the sweeter juices myself, it's best to have a rebuildable tank, iclear 16, evods and protanks are all rebuildable. The best thing you can do if you like the sweet stuff is to make sure you have plenty of extra coils. I clean my coils after every tank, rinse them off really good, soak them in hot water for a bit and then put them on a paper towel to dry. If you have extras then you just pop a new one in and vape on. I have several coils for each tank I use. oh oh oh and the evod and protank coils are interchangeable too, just change out the stems since that is the only difference.

I don't have much money either so cleaning coils has become a big part of my life but also, you can rebuild your own wicks, its super easy to do and it will save you a ton of money. I also make my own juice which also saves me a bunch of money. I have learned how to save money doing this. There are so many things that I would like to try out but I just recently lost my job and really can't afford any new gear so I take really good care of the gear I have. If you need anything just PM me and I will do my very best to get it to ya Hope everything works out for you darlin xoxoxo

I will, Angelsbreath!! thanks so much.. Trying to read and pick brains and grab thoughts.. everything will be alright.. Bob Marely says so

The evod stem works perfectly in the ProTank and produces a slightly tighter draw. Its worth trying! I like the ProTank a lot but like it even better with evod heads.

One of these days I'll figure out how to make a stainless wick that works in that tiny opening and it will be the perfect inexpensive tank. Thank God I'm not a brain surgeon with my skills. Someone would come in for a simple procedure and walk out not being able to speak because of a small slip of my monkey paws.

Tried cartos at first, then tried clearos... never going back. Never knew how much juice was left, better hits when full, burnt polyfill, no thanks... cartotanks look like a big mess to work with... not into the hardcore vaping of the atomizer/RBA/RDA/dripping scene. I have considered a bottom feeder, but not interested in straight-wired, non-regulated devices or anything too big, clunky, and expensive. Not really looking to go much bigger than an eGo.

Speaking of the T3/EVOD/Bottom Coil clearos, I tried a T3 and was just not impressed... seemed like the iClear 16 had a tighter draw with considerably better throat hit and more vapor. The consensus of the locals is that bottom coils just don't pack the same punch as the top coils.

Really? I didn't know you could do it without changing the stem. Thank you HauntedMyst, I have learned something new. xoxoxox Most appreciated.

While I agree with some of the comments, I also don't agree with some.
Everyone and I mean everyone that vapes has gone through the same thing as yourself. Coils that didn't work tasted like the back end of a cat, juice tasting like it was burnt. There is a learning curve to this. There are a ton of people here that have gone through the same thing as yourself. Some of us have waddled through on our own and some of us have sought out help one way or another.
Like everyone else, I started out on the skinny auto types and found out real quick they were not going to work for me. So I graduated to an ego. From there to a Vmax, Gripper, Vmao and a Sigelei Zmaz and a Tec mechanical for my RBAs. Right now I'm waiting on my Groove to arrive.
I also make my own juice and that was a heck of a learning curve. But I keep up with it and now I have 6 juices I call my own that I enjoy everyday.
The main thing to remember is, vaping is not perfect, you're not going to get the same type of hit or satisfaction as an analog. But try to remember how it was when you first started smoking, took you some time to get use to it, didn't it? Same thing with vaping. Keep with it, ask a ton of questions. The only dumb question is one that is not asked. You'll find a wealth of help and advice.

I have two twists and two spinners and like them. However, I'm frugal so gonna recommend to not just throw out your 808 battery. Get one of these instead
808 to 510 adapter - $3.99 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies

 

[Plettschner]

Good call... one of my batteries is a vv, so it would make sense to at least keep that one in service.

 

[hadouken]

I agree. there are days when my stuff just doesnt work right. A spitting I clear, a genny with a hot spot, a dry hitting vivi nova...

On those days, I go to a rebuildable dripper. lol

Lots of great advise has been given on this thread. I'd just like to add that when my taste buds go wonky I like to go have something really spicy to eat. It seems to help reset my taste buds. I'll go for spicy Mexican or Indian food but really anything with strong spice seems to help. Immediately after super spicy food my vape taste gets back to normal.

 

[Plettschner]

Any suggestion where to order some new stuff from? I'm mighty tight on cash, so a good deal on genuine stuff would be good.

 

[ncargrl]

I am SO with you today! My gripper is vaping like caca; one of my tanks leaked on the way to work this morning; and I have three different juices that all taste really BAD! Glad its Wednesday!

 

[GetVaked]

I gave up on clearomizers completely. Too fiddly, too annoying.

I feel that its IMPOSSIBLE to have a bad day with a cisco spec 306 atomizer. There is just no way to mess it up.

That would be wonderful, if I had time to sit around all day dripping juice.

Been there many times. Leads to frustration and makes me go back to a freakin' carto for the day.

That's a horrible adapter for anyone who may be using an automatic, as evidenced in the reviews. Get one from mad Vapes instead. Not only will it work on all 808 equipment, it's also half the price.

I exclusively drip as well. There's no "sitting around" while doing it. I drip before taking the bus to and from work; walking down the street; at stop lights and stop signs while driving my wife's car; even on "smoke breaks" at work.

After a while, it's no more inconvenient or messier than digging out a cigarette and lighter or matches and lighting up.

Clearo's are junk IMO, same with anything Smoktek. I was in the EXACT same position as you and couldnt get my rebuildables up and running. A friend suggested getting Boge carto's and a tank. Surprisingly the Boge carto's are my everyday equipment for work now. Good flavor, good consistancy, Get a big enough tank and some xl pre punched low resistance and youre good to go. IMO

Since all clearos are "junk" this might work for you: $8.08 CE4 1.6mL Electronic Cigarettes Round Mouth Atomizer (6-Pack) 6-pack - assorted colors at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
I have never had a problem with any of these clearos, other than the fact that some vape at higher ohms than as listed. When (not if) they stop working, it is cheap enough to toss them... works on Ego types...which this site also has for a VERY affordable price.
