What do you consider a good vape?

[Abzorbr]

I'm not really looking for help or advice here. I just want to genuinely know what you're guys/gals setups are, what resistance you prefer to use, if you prefer flavor or clouds, what juices and the pg/vg ratios of said juices you like are. Maybe you could also include your plans for the future whether it be progressing into building better coils or even moving into rba's/rda's for a less experience vapor.

Sincerely looking forward to all of your opinions.

A good vape to me is an even balance of flavor and cloud.

My setup:
-VHO Cronus
-Igo-W
-Duel coil with usually 3-4 wraps each.
-Organic Cotton wick
juice:
-MBV Banana Cream Pie 6mg 20pg/80vg
-MBV Moo juice 6mg 20pg/80vg

I've only been building coils for a couple months but I can't really say there's anything I have planned to improve myself on but I am looking forward to what mods will be developed in upcoming months/years.

I good Vape is one that makes me Mad! Because I think I could of been doing this instead of smoking long before now.

Set Up
ProVari Mini set at 4.0 Volts
Privadero tank
BOGE Cartomizer 35mm LR (2ohm)

Juice
Halo Tribeca

A Good Vape:
First Vape in the morning, when I look at that liquid Gold in my tank, thinking I slept all night with out coughing, and can't wait to take a vape. Then I take a Vape and I start my Day

 

[Abzorbr]

When I finally built my first coil and it worked better than any tank or carto I had used before I really saw the light. I only smoked analogs for 2 and a half years but I'll never go back, the flavors and not having my lungs aching each day. We really are in a golden age for tobacco harm reduction.

 

[FringeChief68]

I haven't got that advance yet to building coils.

I can't see me going back to analogs ever. A analog could never give me a throat hit I get from a good vape

 

[Abzorbr]

It's honestly the greatest feeling to build your own coils and it saves so much money. A good one to start out on is the Igo-L or Igo-W although the airhole on them does need to be drilled out. Otherwise they're solid atomisers and easy on the wallet. And the flavor with organic cotton is simply oustanding. I whole heartily suggest at least giving it a shot.

My favorite right now is on my igo l. I have a 1.2 ohm coil that vapes wonderfully right now. Favorite juice is mountain oak vapor cool berry, it's amazing! I also enjoy my map tank with a 1.8ohm boge cartomizer on my mvp. Juice mafia peach tobacco. I have a kayfun lite coming so we will see if my opinion changes.

 

[Abzorbr]

I really wish I had the money for a Kayfun Lite right now. I've heard nothing but good things about them.

A good vape for me is a huge cloud that explodes with flavor and a subtle feeling of nic going into the system... And then some coffe

If I hit the button, and it works, it's a good vape.

 

[Dusif]

Oh i forgot my setup...

Right now its a kts+ witth a helio rda (3mm airhole)
0,7ohm nano coil with cotton bedding
And a panasonic CGR18650CH

 

[RaceGun59]

A good vape is when the non/never smokers come over just to smell the vapor. They all want some of my smarties and alot want the grape.
VAMO V3 with stacked 18350 in VV mode for better control.
ProTanks and Protank IIs
Mike's Smarties from a local B&M. 80PG/20VG
MVB Grape. 80PG/20VG
Dekang Redbull. 80PG/20VG

Setup:
~ Optimus S or IGO-T on either Smoktech SID or MVP v2.0 @ 8-11 Watts
~ Low Resistance Mini or Micro Coil, from 3/32" to 1/32", always around 1.3Ω to 1.5Ω
~ Organic Cotton Wick

Juice:
~ 100% VG, need it, want it, got it.
~ Velvet Cloud Vapor - pretty much anything of theirs, but I am getting my 120mL of Night Shift later today
~ HHV, Virgin Vapor, MBV in various flavors to keep things interesting. VCV is still my #1 go-to for almost 2 months.

Good vape:
Those first 20 or so drags off a fresh cotton wick. Words like; sublime, nirvana, ecstasy, and euphoria come to mind. But any vape that satisfies the hunger and is good enough to keep me off analogs is a good vape if you ask me. I still prefer the former

my go to all day everyday (except when driving) vape is

Reo Grand + RM2

I have the RM 2 set up with a 1.25 Ohm Microcoil and rolled cotton wicking

For batteries either an AW IMR 18650 or a CGR18650CH

All juices are DIY

I have no idea what you people are even saying! LOL

So far, from what I have learned about myself, it's less about the cloud (although I do need to see a little on the exhale unless I hold it in intentionally to negate that) than it is about the flavor and getting my nic-fix.

I've found one flavor that I really like; a locally made Butter Pecan. Before that, I was using a plain tobacco flavor - it did the trick, but I felt a little like I was missing something... like being teased with a poor imitation of a cigarette. With the discovery of a flavor I really enjoy, the whole ball game has changed. I love having that sweet, buttery flavor rolling past my taste buds on the exhale, it's what made me put down the cancer sticks, in the end. I couldn't stand the taste of them anymore, and was finding myself putting of lighting up, because they tasted so rank in comparison, and was puffing like mad on my PV immediately after putting out my cigarette to get the taste out of my mouth. That's the point where I decided that if I disliked it that much, I might as well quit.

Thank heaven for flavored juice! Without it, I honestly don't think I'd have ever quit, so, to answer the question: to me, a good vape is one that has such enough nicotine and flavor that it makes the thought of smoking a cigarette distasteful!

As far as equipment goes, I have an e-Go-T, and the only thing I've changed from the kit as it came was replacing the juice-holder/wick-thing (Clearo??? No idea what they're called, lol) that it came with to one that I could replace the wicks in (iClear 16 VW/VV on the outside)... although I do need a new battery. Mine die after about 5 hours.

 

[Abzorbr]

I'd watch it with that panasonic battery at that resistance my friend. They're only rated to 10amps so if you want a much safer battery I would suggest either Sanyo, Sony or Orbtronic 18650 which have much higher amp limits.

Hey whatever works for you man but if you're looking to move up into something with a little more power and performance I highly recommend the Vamo. They're up to the Vamo v5 now but any of them will do the trick. And possibly a Kanger Protank I or II so that way you can try a broader range of juices without worrying about damage to your plastic clearomizers and you can buy a pack of 5 of the replacements heads for 8 dollars or less in most cases.

I'm happy with my vape setup.
Sentinel M16 Clone, Sony US18650VTC3
1.1 ohm dual micro coil with a cotton wick on my Nimbus Clone.
A DIY mix with 60PG/40VG base, Bavarian Cream, Absinthe with a touch of Koolada and lemon.
Great taste and big clouds

My set up as well. Same resistance, but only use the AW battery.

Juices are varied between Ahlusion, The Plume Room, Nicoticket, AiV, Good Life Vapor, Suicide Bunny and HHV and a few from a local B&M.

Bavarian cream sounds heavenly right now. I'll have to look into finding a vendor I like that offers this.

I don't understand...? How will my juice damage my clearomizers? Aren't they made for that??

(Like I said, all I know about vaping is how to put the juice in and push the button, LOL)
