Hey guys. Ok, so its been a while since I been on here, mainly due to life and being busy, but really need some help here, as I am very frustrated, and now I'm smoking cigarettes again here and there, so really wanting to get a fast fix to my vape issues to start vaping again.
So, last time I checked over a year ago, the hardware, tanks, batts, that were popular seem to be in the distant past already, and tons of new tanks, batts, etc. seem to come out like every day now, but haven't had the time to stay so updated on all of it.
I have been using my Ego setup, since when I purchased it a while ago, I spent well over hundreds bucks on batteries, different types of clearomizers, different internals for the tanks, juices, same setup for my best friend and also my girlfriend(now fiancee btw,) mouth tips, etc. etc.
So, to say I would prefer the Ego setup is needed, but I AM open to other suggestions if the performance is that worth it. So, my main thing when buying these, were that the tanks i bought, were the same diameter as the battery, thus giving the entire package in a cigar type profile. I did try the 510s since I really wanted a cigarette type profile due to me smoking cigs, but that quickly burned up when I realized the experience with the smaller skinny ones was horrible to say the least.
So, back to the ego. I bought a setup with the Twist(variable voltage), extra Twist batts, and a bunch of clear little mini tanks that matched the profile, to test out different tanks and see which I liked most. I mean, I like to have extra also, so I don't have to order again too soon.
So, like 2 Kanger EVOD tanks, some Kanger T3 tanks, MT3's, Vision Vivi mini Nova tanks, CE3's, CE4's. I know, a lot, but i was letting my girl and buddy try some out too. Also had to get chargers, car and house outlets, etc.
Now, within 2 months, every one of those tanks stopped working. Im not kidding. I dropped one of the mini novas, cracked it. But all the others, literally just started leaking fluid out of the mouth piece, and burned my mouth to the point I was getting real ....... So, every time one broke or leaked, I switched to another one since I had a bunch and wanted to try all of them. at the time I had more money, so it wasn't an issue, just real crappy tanks. So, again I didn't drop them or rough with them or anything. Seemed like just letting them sit laying down for a minute ended up making them leak.
So, when I got too fed up, I stopped vaping. It sucks, because I did enjoy vaping even more than smoking, but just couldn't get good results. And, back to smoking in time, right back to 2 packs a day in fact.
Fast forward to now. A buddy comes by the other day, lets me hit his new vape. Its a Kanger sub tank mini, with a huge 50 watt battery on it! He tells me how the lower ohms and higher watts are what gives the more smoke, etc. etc. But, It looked ridiculous to me, again only my opinion and preference, but it hit amazing and tasted great, full of flavor, TONS of clouds even outside in the wind.
So, I feel the need to get another setup now. Wouldn't you know it, after that day, I pulled out my old vape stuff I still have sitting around, and behold, one brand new tank left, some little clearomizer tank from Kanger, never used, last one I have, and I throw my Twist back on the charger. Throw some juice in, and again, I AM IN LOVE WITH VAPING AGAIN........well, until the next day, today(that was yesterday), and after being very careful with my new last tank and battery, used it all day yesterday worked great, but today I pick it up from on my desk, and sure enough......Fluid leaking out of the mouth piece. Tried to soak it up with a cotton swab, but just too much. I'm not burning my lips again with these darn vapes.
So guys, I ask you. I am in need of suggestions. I am so close to forgetting the whole thing and staying with cigs, but I really want to get into vaping again and cut out the damn cancer sticks. Now, before anything let me clarify. I can't go spending hundreds of dollars on a provari or something expensive like that. And, probably most important, I don't think the vaping thing will work unless it feels like a cigar to me, not a VCR with a tip coming out one end. Please don't take offense, its just that I hate the look of the tanks and batts not having the same cigar like diameter and profile.
So, If you guys feel like helping me out with any recommendations for a new setup, even if i HAVE TO change the batteries too, I more than appreciate it. With work and all, if I try to take the next few weeks reading up and learning all the new stuff that came out, I will just forget it and won't get a chance to make vaping work for me I fear. But nonetheless, I am trying to read up on the Kanger sub tank mini, but it still looks so "fat." And I can't do the square battery either, so I just told my friend I would look into something since he was gonna take me to get the one he had, and I didn't have the heart to tell him I didn't like the way his looked or carried.
Are there any great new tanks out that are still the same "cigar" size? Is the "nano" this size? Is this even what I'm looking for? If not, or they all leak because they suck, then can you recommend a set up with the Subtank mini or nano and a battery that "fits" it? I think I saw a 18 series battery(I assume them mean 18650 size batt) by Joye that might work if its good. I do still LOVE the "AA battery" size though.....Also saw the Kanger EMOW, but maybe I will have the same issues as the older ones in that size? There is so much new info. .I really am desperate, guys. Any and all opinions, suggestions very welcome and appreciated.
I'm sorry the post is so long, but as you can see I really need some help. I'm so close to giving up again after yesterday and today, and I genuinely want to get into vaping again real bad. Maybe some of you had great experiences with the products I bought, but not me and again I was really careful with them, after the first tank cracked on me after a few days initially.
I don't mind filling them, changing the internals every here and there, cleaning the parts, etc. Just want a solid setup.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read through this.
