What to try next?

[moodyb]

Let us know how you get on with the tank please GunJack.

I still haven't got one yet as nowhere closeby stocks them, or cartos.

I have discovered my chest doesnt like high vg juices though. Bought a 80/20 VG/PG juice earlier to try & although its alright on the first draw, I start to get a slight tightness in my chest. Trust me to pick the one flavour they can't customize.

50/50 juices might be the sweetspot for me as althoughit might sound odd, the chest hit added a little something that's been missing from the 70/30 juices I've been using.

Ordered the Boge F16 & F17 yesterday & they arrived this morning.

First impressions on my Spinner at 4v, when compered to the Evod's + 1.8ohm heads that I have been using, is that the Boge's give a slightly stronger taste & throat hit, even when you cover one of the air holes on the Evod. Vapour amount is around the same I'd say.

Being new to cartos & tanks, I personally think the Evods are much easier to work with / more foolproof.

Not sure if that says more about them than me though

It's just a pity that Boge don't do the F16 or F17 with a locking ring though, although I'll probably buy an AGR+ or AGR2 at the end of the month for using at home.

A slimmer 15mm diameter model of the AGR tanks that suits Ego style batteries would be ideal when out & about.


I also bought a Mini Vivi Nova to test after trying out it's bigger brother on a Vamo2, as the throat hit was immense for some reason.
To say it was a disappointment, when used on either my eGo Twist or Vision Spinner at around 4.2v, would be an understatement.
Flavour was muted & less of a throat hit when compared to the Evods.

I'm not sure if it's an official Mini Nova though either, as it had a slim fixed metallic mouthpiece, and the eGo skirt is fixed to the bottom of it.
The ones I've seen before had just the 510 connector.
Maybe it's a new revision?

Ey up moodyb, been using the £3.30 LT tank for a few days now, and all I can say is it's the best £3.30 I've spent on cartos/clearos/whatever I've also popped a quick review on the product page on LT's site. Once you get the hang of filling without building up pressure, it works a treat using the supplied 2.7 ohm carto. I got a 1.5 ohm too, but not going to try that until the current one bites the dust

LT - order one day and you'll get it normally next day or day after...brill

[moodyb]

Thanks for the info GunJack. Much appreciated.

I've considered the DCT's from LT since Perpetua mentioned them, esp since they have a polyproplene tank, but I've read that dual coil cartos can burn through juice.

Have you found that yourself?


One of the reasons I stopped smoking was to save some cash every month, which is ironic since I've spent more in 3 weeks on vaping that I would have on cigs!
That seems to be the way of it though until you find a setup that suits, as others have said.

So, I just need a Vamo v4 next... oh and then both sizes of the Smok UDCT tank... and then a shiney Killer 705 next, etc...

Sometimes I wish I was one of those people who were content with the blister pack starter kits

Amen to that Moody . . . there's more willpower required to not buy gear, than there is for not smoking I find!

But, vaping really is as inexpensive or costly as you make it, once you've got ' stocked up ' that is. If you go on to mix your own eliquid, then you'll find costs come down again.

I don't believe your skirted Vivi Nova is from Vision, but I haven't read of any leakage issues with it, though it would be worth buying any replacement heads from the Vendor you bought it from, just in case others aren't compatible.

I don't think I have a terminal case of shinyitus thankfully , as I'm happy with the look of the eGo sized batteries & Evods / carto tanks.
I think it's more that I'm not really satisfied with the taste / flavour / throat hit yet. So I still get urges for a cig at times.


As for the Mini Nova clone, it is now in the bin. Wasn't impressed with it at all. Felt like I was using Ce2's again.
I think the only top coil I'll bother trying next is the iClear16.

Until then I'll stick with Evods or carto tanks for now.

[GunJack]

moodyb, if I were you I'd start an account with fasttech... even Mrs G-J's vamo + 2x Trustfire 18650s + Trustfire charger was only £27 delivered....

[moodyb]

Oh no, that would be bad idea. Too many gadgets at cheap prices

That is a brilliant price for a Vamo kit though.

If I hadn't spent £25 the other day on juice I'd have jumped at it.

I have EVOD, Vivi Nova and iClear 30
iClear gives big, warm vapour - it's dual coil clearo
ViVi is on the second place - big vapour, better taste
EVOD is bottom coil clearomizer, so vapour is colder
those clearos are good enough for me - I use e-cigs for about six months, after 15 years smoking 40-50 analogs every day

Yeah but there's a fair chance you'll live longer so there's plenty time to recoup the cash lol

Impressive. Well done on giving up smoking that many cigs daily

I'll need to try the iClear's next. Well after my 3ml DCT from LTeCigs arrives.
Will be good to compare it against the Boge lr single coil cartos I've been using recently.

I was going to try the VapeOnly BCC, but there can't be that much difference between bottom coil clearos ( already have 3 Evods )

Hello and moodyb

[moodyb]

Thanks Romelee.

[moodyb]

My DCT for LT Ecigs arrived today, and I've been using it for the last hour.
Compared to the Boge F16/F17 with a LR single coil carto, the DCT gives what feels like a smoother vape to me.

What I mean by that is the DCT gives warmer vapour, a bit more flavour (say around 15-20%?), and a bit more vapour on the exhale.
The juice I'm using is Watermelon@70/30 which doesn't really have much of a throat hit anyway, so I can't really notice a difference between them in that respect.

It also has a slightly tighter draw in comparison to the F16/F17. And it is much quieter to use. Gives off a very faint hiss.
Whereas the Boge's are well named. Much noiser than the DCT, if that kind of thing bothers you.

Btw the Boge was a 1.6-2.0 ohm carto on my Spinner at 3.7v. The DCT was using a 2.7ohm carto, according to the LT website, running at 4.3v.

Now, which do I prefer?
Well, I think that depends on what flavour you're using tbh.
I love watermelon straight from the fridge, so the cooler vape from the Boge suits it better, but the DCT gives it a better flavour...

Maybe I should stick them together with gaffer tape to get the best bits of both at the same time? It would be my first mod
