Looks like a good list. I'd add some Liqua berry mix in there too. I ordered 5 different Liquas and have only been vaping the berry mix, very good. I also liked their Cherry flavor, not so much with the citrus mix but tastes can be very subjective

I can second (or fifth or whatever lol) the fasttech. I have ordered a couple times now and been pleased.

I got 4 dekang flavors and hated them all though. Same funny taste to all of them for me. Might just be that I am used to a fairly high amount of VG and am pretty sure the dekang is 100% PG. I have some Liquas coming and am hoping I like them better.

I also have been using the Kanger Protank for about 2 weeks and like it very much. Simple, cheap to keep working well, and low maintenance. The part you change out costs about 85 cents and takes less than a minute with no mess, no need for a syringe, and no need to empty it first. I'm sold.

So, I agree with everything posted here, except that I'm a bit of a juice snob. I use nite lite vapor and alien visions juice. They are at the top of the cost list and the quality list respectively. So maybe, dont lump all juice into the same bucket as liqua (which I have not used) and dekang (which I havent used). I have used "cheap" juice before and seem to get less flavor and a common weird tasting undertone to them. But that's just my opinion. Like someone said above, juce tastes are very subjective. I just wanted to offer a different opinion on that subject.

Make sure you have backups of everything. I keep all my old stuff, and it has saved me a couple times when shipments are late. Life is less stressful when I know there's a couple batteries, half bottles of old liquid and a handful of attys in a box somewhere.

I feel like there's better juice than what I'm using but I'm very content with the value so haven't bothered seeking better. The only two juices I've tried were from a local retailer which seemed ok until I tried mount baker vapor. But MBV is so cheap I wonder how good the quality actually is. I like the fact that I can specify pg:vg, mg strength, and add extra flavor shots. With my local retailer I was paying around 50c/ml and it was 100% pg and their inventory was always hit or miss. Through MBV I pay half that for better flavors and options.

Yeah, most people fall off the wagon because one component of their setup fails.

I agree that there is better tasting juice out there but after several $150 juice orders from Rawr Vapor and other similar sites for 2 months or so, I'm digging the $4 per 30ml Liqua juice. I really like the Liqua berry mix, cherry, and apple flavors. I doubt that I am gonna go back to paying $15 per ml (even though I love Rawr) after the Liqua flavors are entirely acceptable considering the cost.

Does liqua have anything close to berry lemonade from Rawr? Do they have a menthol option for fruit flavors? I guess I have a bottle of angel tears somewhere that I can add to those flavors if I give them a try.

Not sure Bode. I do like Rawr's berry lemonade but Liqua's berry mix is different but good. Like I said, I don't care for their citrus mix, too much of a tangerine flavor for my liking. They're not much on options at least with Fasttech, you pretty much have to order what they're offering. Maybe, for you if you like menthol, just order their regular juice and add menthol from another vendor. For $4 per 30 ml you can do a lot of experimenting to get a good mix. For some reason, to me, their juice tastes good and has a very good throat hit and "mouth feel'. It just hits smooth to me, hard to describe why I like it (maybe cause it's 4 bucks)

to convert any eliquid to menthol you could simply add a few drops of concentrated menthol http://wizardlabs.us/index.php?route...name&order=ASC and koolada http://wizardlabs.us/index.php?route...name&order=ASC . I make a very strong menthol at 3.5% with 1% or less koolada . that translates to 7 drops menthol and 2 drops koolada per 10 ml. start at half that much.

you can get a bottle of both for a total of less than $6 including shipping and it will probably last you for several months. they take paypal too.

I think this is essentially what Rawrs angel tears are. It's $4-5 for 10 ml and has lasted me several months.

ended up going for an SVD in the end. very happy with it so far, though I've only had it a few days. build seems much, much more solid than the VapePro.

using an odyssey tank (boge atomiser) at the moment, should I be using something better? any recommendations?

Vaping some tasty Liqua berry mix with my provari+vivinova. Fast tech order came in this morning but didn't have time to try out the kanger protanks yet, can't wait to get home.

Wanted to say thanks to everyone on here. I try to browse ECF but the traffic is too much for me so I really appreciate the help on here.

My collection of PVs since joining this thread evolved from lava tube>vamo->provari

cheers, will try out a couple of these and a couple of protanks, or a couple of the the disposable bits.

protanks seem to get a lot of love. do people generally prefer the small on it the big one?

the I30 has 3 features that make it a better choice than the protank in my view:
1 swivel drip tip
2 dual coil heads
3 easy top filling

I rarely make a mess filling the I30. I dread filling the protank, sure, it can be done without much mess if I plan ahead by shaking and de-capping the eliquid bottles before starting but if you get distracted and have to set it down before the process is complete then you are likely to have a spill- sooner or later it is going to happen.

Cant beat the ego twist really when considering value, portability, etc etc

i got the 18500 batts for my svd to go with the shorter configuration but it is still almost as tall as my vamo. I use cigalikes and cartos when i go out. I got 2 of the fasttech small auto batts for about $4 each and they aren't bad. I have a total of 5 small batts which i also use at home when i'm not at my vape station.

you can get a box of 510 cartos at vapor beast for $7 with free shipping.

So I got new heads and a replacement base for my protank as it fell of the couch and snapped off at the threads. Long story short, I was getting really bad dry hits with the new heads. I tried the wick removal and it was super easy. Some pliers and tweezers was all it took. There are vids on youtube if you need instructions. No dry hits since then.

Im also running the head with the little rubber grommet thing that goes around the top shaft of tge heads and sits above the wicks. Anyone see a problem with this? No leaks so far.

Isn't that what you're supposed to do? I do it that way too
