My iStick 20W had issues due to non spring loaded 510 thread pin. Go 30W. So much better. And 50W is my current daily. So perfect.

Haven't kept up with this thread but still haven't touched a cigarette since buying the mvp2. Is there something better than the iclear 30s tank? I can't keep it from leaking for more than a day on the road. Any recommendations for a full kit upgrade? Buying through the mail is difficult right now but if I can get stuff at a store I'll stop at one. Thanks.

Edit: not looking for something I have to tinker with

LBR, The Aspire Nautilus works very well for around $30

yup, nautilus is super noob friendly. You just plug in the coil and you're good to go for days.

Well - my kit arrived, and I'm really happy with it. I ended up with a Kangertech Subtank Mini and a Kangertech Kbox 40w battery . My juice is from a UK place called Alchemist Cupboard which was recommended to me by a vaping geek.

I'm sat huffing away in a cloud of smoke on vanilla fudge 24mm/ml which could be a bit on the strong side even for a recent 40 a day man. It tastes and feels great and as a bonus it looks so well made and dare I say it, Butch! So far it is completely suppressing the urge to smoke.

Just got the Nautilus Aspire which is my first upgrade from the 1st gen EVOD. Don't know if I'm doing it wrong, but I'm having issues with leakage out of the air hole and noticeable gurgling. I watched a few youtube vids that gave tips on eliminating leakage and after trying the fixes (which mainly involved keeping the air hole closed while putting the tank together and taking a few primer puffs), I resorted to swapping out the atomizer because I thought it wasn't getting a good seal. But no such luck, it's still leaking out of the air hole. Any tips? I really want to like this thing but so far it's giving me hell. I really don't want to waste anymore juice.

I finally bought some flavored juice after doing unflavored for over a month. It *was* my favorite flavor but I'm not enjoying very much. I keep reaching for my unflavored juice. Interesting how that happened.

Damn it Dave. You give such solid advice, so consistently, imma have to try it. I get the best juices in the world, given to me, and can only stand two of them for more than 24 hours at a time. Maybe unflavored will satisfy my smoking urge(still alive and kicking 15 months after I last lit up) without being so intrusive to my senses.
Fwiw. Those two juices are, "Sicker Than Most" by Sicboy, and "Terillibis" by Garrett Rottenz.

I was having the same problem at first. You need to increase the power to above 10W, I now vape at 11 to 12W and the leaking is rare now but still happens on occasion.

Hello all i need some expert opinion/advice. I've been vapeing about 2 years, I use the volcano lavatube which work well, but i want something that will produce a lot bigger cloud/maybe better taste. Not worried about cost I just want a whole setup and something that includes atomizers i can just replace not rebuild. I had ordered a vapor fi vox11 50 watt but my current system blew 5x the cloud and wasnt hot. I have many juices with high vg 50/50 mix and such. Please reccomend me a cloud blowing setup. (not interested in dripping). Thank you very much or pm me too.

I ran across this youtube vid and did exactly what this guy did and I've had no problems since. Doesn't matter the wattage or the air hole or how tight I'm screwing in the atty, it doesn't leak now. Highly recommend to anyone that is having leakage issues with this tank.

Try the Joytech Delta 2 or the Kanger Subtank. Also, try higher VG%

with those tanks i would need a mod with more power, which i am interested in having but there are so many choices. I have tried using 80vg/20pg and max vg but there is no cloud difference.

Good sellers spend a lot of time vetting the juice and the juice makers.

I consider you a stand up guy that runs a shop I trust, so yes, that affects my opinion.

I don't remember who originally shared this link here, but I bought this flavorless and truly enjoy it:

http://vaporvapes.com/flavorless/fla...cotine-e-juice

it does taste like something though. I use the 100% VG.

I've had a Sigelei 100 watt plus for a few months now and it works perfectly. You can probably get one for under $100

good choice on the kit and the juice supplier. Egg Custard is a nice subtle flavour if you haven't tried that one yet. I'd suggest much weaker juice if you're sub ohming though; I don't understand all the technical **** myself but I can say from experience that a setup like that you just don't need such a high level of nicotine to get a hit. I use 3% juice now (also with a subtank) and it's great. I guess try working your way down. glglgl

How long has your various batteries been working?

I have two Samsung 25r batteries, which worked awesome for about 3 months and now one doesn't fire at all. Shows no signs of venting.

I bought 2 VTRs back in November. I only have one right now and it doesn't work very well either. To be honest, I always found them disappointing.

I have a few eFests that I use because they are around, but they all are kind of dead now. They are all about a year old so it is definitely time to retire them all.

I'm not sure, but hybrids seem to suck batteries dry really fast.

I just placed an order for 4 more Samsungs. Thankfully, they are cheap.

I'll throw in another +1 for unflavoured juice. Brilliant imo. "unflavoured" is not quite true, there's certainly flavour to the nicotine but it night not be noticable for at first.

Incredibly cheap too lol. I put like 1/8" of 54mg PG in the bottle, about 20x that much VG on top and shake it up to get loads of 2-3mg VG juice with a tiny extra hit there isn't from pure VG. it's great!

Also coils last forever. Cotton wicks need changing every week or two mostly due to burning accidents but eventually changed anyway.
