Oh, you lot are going to have me bankrupt! LOL 

It's been a roller coaster ride this last 12 days, but now I am starting to be able to relax into the whole thing very nicely!

I could not have done it without all the helpful suggestions, views and opinions I have had from this great forum! Thank you all so much!

Very possibly . . . but if it's any consolation Karma and I have no money either as we spend all ours on lovely vaping stuff.

 But, we are at the extreme end of the shoppingitus scale.


Good to hear you're now feeling more relaxed about what you have and can enjoy your vapes more as a result Ancient.

evods are my go to for work - inexpensive cheap replaceable heads(although i rewick mine -dead easy) and deliver tastewise plus no leaking.

I moved onto evod after starting with normal ce4 then the plus then Nova now dead happy just ordered another 4

I love Evods - even when they are being naughty.
They are just brilliant and a million miles better than CE4s and iClear16s.
I do like my iClear30 though, flavour almost as good as the Evod's and more capacity but can suffer dry hits.

I tried T3s and really tried to like them but they were leaky and gurgly... total nightmare!

I have just filled one to the max safe level, syringe emptied it and it was a touch under 1.6ml.

Thank you for that, I appreciate it greatly.

I'll probably try the Vapeonly BCC first as I have yet to experience any product at all from that manufacturer, but I will be back for an evod I strongly suspect. I have to say it's hard to pass on a Kanger product for me due to liking the protank so very well. I guess a wider experience is probably a good thing to strive for in the early days though.

I've been trying the Smok DCT a bit more intensively in the last 24 hours and it came with a clear plastic drip tip, which I was happy to be able to swap for my preferred style. The supplied one was not bad, but not a patch on my fave! Given it's part of the human interface or business end of the design then it matters to me how that feels. I favour ceramic as it warms nicely but never excessively.

That ability to have a choice is what swings it for me on the decision of which to try first, the Vapeonly offering allows me that sort of choice, so it's a bit more welcoming in that way. The low budget choice of the evod could yet have a final sway as they are barely half the price of the vapeonly offering, but it really is that close to going either way for me!

Another thing with the vapeonly.....
You get 3 different heads to try.
1.8 ohms, 2.2 ohms and a 2.5 ohms. Which helps to balance out the price.
I got mine from vapescape, with the code "allabout" giving a 10% discount.

You are a temptress, you'll have me broke! LOL 

I even rationalised it that way with the three heads myself for a bit, then I thought, a fiver is still a fiver! It's less about the price paid but more about the price asked, the 10% off will apply to both! I am however compelled to note that spare heads average about £1.99 so two of those should only be £3.98 - there's a pound gone missing (to my detriment) in this deal!

What mostly bothers me is that I'd be paying a fiver (ok, possibly 4 seen in another light) for a hole to put a much liked drip tip into! Really? Paying more  for a lack of product, I mean a hole is a lack of material when all is said and done. I know that having the hole is of course a feature too, but really!
In truth it's all a bit of a worry! 

[trish]

It's no good ancientmariner.....you'll have to splash out and get both, lol!
You will get a very good vape out of either one.
I personally prefer my own driptip, but as you have seen others like the supplied drip tip.
It's up to you, now. You will literally have to "suck it and see"

[Ancient Hermit]

Perpetua Karma trish et al.

ok, due to a number of factors, I'm trying the Evod first, so lets hope the drip tip is not too annoying!

It feels like a slightly counter intuitive decision, but that's fully in keeping with the now 14 day journey into this vaping lark. 

It was ordered this morning along with this weeks consumables.

LOL 

Thanks for the help one and all!

[Ancient Hermit]

Well, the evod arrived, and I have to say it's really, really good for the price paid!

I was just thinking this could easily be my handy, wandering about, goto vape - then something else caught my beady little eyes!

I've just seen the protank mini at the kangertech web site! I do hope Jason at VE has some of them on order! They are absolutely going to be The One (at this size) I reckon. Not too fussed about having it with their battery though, just the tank really.

The Evod will do very nicely until then and quite probably beyond too! The drip tip is not a bad one happily.

Overall, I found the vape had a slight buttery/creamy/rounded taste added to the flavour when compared with the protank using juice from the same bottle. Given my tastes in juice that is really not too bad at all either.

So the Evod gets a Hermity  

[Jen]

Be careful with the Protank - although they're OK, the flavour is nowhere near as strong as with the Evod, and the draw is (to me) off-puttingly airy. I have to block up 2 of the 3 airholes with BluTack, and even then I'm not very happy with it. I use them for juices that can't go in polycarbonate, but otherwise I don't rate them much. The minis might be better though
