Upgrading my old setup (Wannabe cloud chaser)

[13ond]

Hi fellow vapers!

I'm looking to upgrade from a socialite's vortex.
Ive recently been researching RTA rda and RTDA
My lifestyle suits an rdta right now and I'm looking at various tanks with 3 posts but I'm still concerned about what box mod to go for.
Would anyone reccomwnd the IJOY RDTA to start with.
My budget is tight for this at around £100 for a set up but I want something I don't have to upgrade again for a while so 3 post would suit?

Does it matter what box mod I switch up with the RDTA?

Also any whole set up ideas would be massively appreciated

Thanks. 13ond

£100 isn't tight these days.
Socialites are a rip off brand.
Glad you turned to us!

How much power do you think you'll need?

Well, if you truly want to chase clouds an SX350 and a TFV12 would be hard to beat. One of my favorites lately is an alien and the magnus cloud blaster from vapeston

The SFV12 look stunning tanks. (Gold)

I'm not sure which SXC350 you are referring to
As I see many upon my research?

Thank you dc99

Hi djsvapour, my issue right now is I'm not actually sure on that. How do I reach that conclusion?

Thank you

You guys are great

Well, there's clouds and clouds. Mostly with the right atomizer, 75 watts is enough but in truth if you're after something special ( for fun, demonstration etc.) then you'll be wanting a 2 or 3 x 18650 mod and 100+ at your disposal.

I blow large clouds all the time and all without vaping

While reading this thread, I'm hitting my TFV8 on my GX2/4 in quad battery configuration and keep blocking out the screen. Not gonna win any competitions, but all the clouds I need.

My bad, typo error
$56.33 Authentic Smoktech SMOK GX350 TC Box Mod - 4*18650 (reach up to 350W output) / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
$35.81 Authentic Smoktech SMOK TFV12 Cloud Beast King Tank Clearomizer - 6ml / 0.12/0.15ohm / stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
This is what I was referring to. Is it overkill? Yes, but it is a monster

 

[13ond]

Don't get me wrong as much as I'm beginning to despise the socialites the cloud density isn't bad. Its just not enough. And the flavour is vary vague.
Battery under full charge produces very unsatisfactory draws still

TSV12 Atty ? Are these posted? (Rebuildable)

The Vortex seems to have 0.5ohm coils. That makes it up to 35 watts with a healthy, fresh charged battery. Double that to 70w is out of my knowledge area. I'll use an RDA for that. Eleaf do a variety of tanks and coils for <60w vaping (think iJust2) but I don't believe they are good for 80 or 100 as they seem to claim. I like Eleaf as you can order coils from China for about £1.20 each. I use the 0.3/0.5, but not over 50-60w.

I am currently using this combo and 10/10 would recommend. Steam engine trains can not compare when there is a T12 head inside the TFV12.

I'm very much liking this too. Are you using the turbo coils?
The box is really putting me off, IMO a really ugly box. Sry

Are eleaf product any good though?

I recall having an eleaf thinks it was a 40 it was shocking

Yes, and I know the GX350 isnt really a looker. But it is mighty powerful.

Sounds good. . Thankyou for the quick replies

 

[13ond]

So if I'm to get a TFV12 or a Smok. How do I work out what power I shouldn't go above. I'm really concerned about blowing my rig. Sorry for all the questions

Depends what products - mods or tanks etc. The only mods I like (use) from Eleaf are the Pico 75w & Pico Squeeze. I consider my iSticks spares or give-away.
Mostly for power I use either Fuchai 213 or Smoant Battlestar.
Smok is a different sort of approach to vaping. They made shoddy & unreliable junk for too long, couldn't compete so started an arms race. I personally wouldn't spend my money on them unless I was prepared to accept they still are off the pace for reliability. There are far too many broken mods out there. Then again, I saw plenty of broken Evic VTCs in rubbish bins at Vapefest 2015. The mini VTC was so much better.

Like if I'm honest I'm a massive toker
I need something that keeps me entertained is smoke wise. It has the hits to enjoy too.
My rig has to be a nice looker not to show off but also not to look a shabby cheap thing. I need a very good all rounder as I begin my life into coil making and building.

Still a little concerned about not understanding everything and shorting out but I think I have the basics covered.
I don't wanna get into it buying all the stuff and be pushed back to a death pen due to lack of knowledge
Oh my years of a elec apprenticeship haven't paid off
