With BCCs, there is no plastic anywhere around to melt. Another advantage of that model!
I still don't dry burn much. Soak, reuse and off they go. Evods coils cost $1.50 apiece and they last a long time.
evods?
gawd i feel like a newb...

uh, both of my stardusts leaked, the evod leaks, the t3 is generic and it leaks
plus I keep losing the little plastic seal things
Stardust has a changeable bottom coil? Oops, I didn't know that.
The trick with evod is you have to make sure that the coil is screwed into the base tightly; they sometimes come loose in transport and if that happens, the thing will leak like a sieve.
I have Tabac BCC, T3 and baby T3--no problems. How weird. I'm so sorry...
They are really nice (when they don't leak, that is.)
Kanger T3's little brother; same idea, but smaller and the coil unit comes apart, so you don't have to buy a new base every time you want a fresh coil--you just get that little coil and screw it in, tightly, into the base.

Yea I screwed the bottom coil in more on the evod and that helped. Wish I hadn't lost the plastic ring seal though
The t3s and stardusts were generic so THAT could be the problem. =/
The Vivi Nova is pretty awesome, I've actually just mines in the mail today and yet, I'm pretty impressed so far. I've heard some users actually have some kind of leakage towards the O-rings and some have not. I'll give you more info soon when I come across some problems. Cheers!

The boys at the shop sell these! ah I didn't know what they where! So interesting!

Yeah, without the seal the thing will leak.
One never knows; sometimes the knockoffs are as good as the brand names, sometimes they are awful.
I like mine. And they come in purdy colors... Just get a matching battery and you're good to go.
I've heard complaints about knockoff ViVis; the Visions have a very good reputation, generally.
Good luck and congrats.

what batteries may I ask? if I go in next time I might take the offer but I wanna know what I'm talking about.
You're totally right about that. Generally some of the knockoffs actually do perform way better than the actual ones, but really its a hit or miss type of thing.
Recitation: I bought an eGo Twist 900mAh battery. The girth is about the size of a cigar, and the length varies based on the mAh rating of the battery ranging from about 3" to 5" or so on the larger eGo batteries. I've tucked mine in the back pocket while walking to work, didn't even notice it and would notice it even less if it was a shorter one like the 350mAh or 650mAh battery.
Informative statement: My 900mAh eGo battery with a clearomizer attached is about as long as my hand, from the wrist to the tip of my middle finger. I'm a male, but I don't have overly large hands. Only other things. It's very unobtrusive. There are many options when it comes to smaller models that perform well. If you're going to buy one of those type, it's probably better to go with the VV models (Twist/Spinner) so you have that option in the same small package. A 350/650mAh eGo Twist with a clearomizer should probably provide a good 3-4+ hours of medium vaping and not even have to change the clearomizer, so would make an excellent option for at work or a night out without being very large at all. Would be even smaller with a cartomizer, but a cartomizer might not hold enough juice to carry you through a night out. Of course, you can always carry different cartomizers with different flavors as they are small and convenient.
Elaboration: Clearomizers come in two styles, top coil and bottom coil. The top coil have wicks which hang down from the atomizer at the top. They tend to work better with thinner juices as with heavier juices they have wicking issues and you have to tilt/splash them more perhaps. A bottom coil provides a cooler vape, but has less of these problems. I haven't had any issues with my top coil or bottom coil clearos so far, but I'm also using 100% PG juices which are thinner.

I'd suggest getting an eGo c Twist. I've heard pretty good reviews on them. And not only that, its a great way to get you started!
Well, the main question is, do you want a variable voltage battery or not. IMHO, vv is the way to go. But if you don't care about that, any eGo-class battery will work with all the atties/clearos/tanks folks have suggested here. Anything 510 or eGo threaded will work.
So, it's entirely up to you--and the boys. I'm sure they will be more than happy to assist you.
