what we all using ? Im the owner of 4 Kanger Aerotanks, 1 Mega Aerotank, 1 Davide and an Aspire BDC clearomizer. I go round about 4 batteries per day of various makes, all variable volts, except an Innokin V3. I tend to smoke menthol, but do have a mild sweet tooth Im interested to try something else, as I find the difference in flavour between even just Kanger Aerotank and Mega is quite striking. The Aspire leaks too much for my liking and the Davide just had that burnt taste pretty much from the off. So would appreciate recommendations. Thanks

A good way to find something you want would be to open up a 'wanted' thread in the Classifieds & Swaps part of the site, and hope that maybe someone will want to sell you something better or maybe even trade with you, as you do have a nice little collection going there. Hope you find what you're looking for.
If you want the best vape you can get without going into rebuildables, look at buying either an aspire nautilus mini, or get the big original aspire nautilus, and buy some BVC coils to go in it. I'm sure you'll be happy with that, just like almost everyone else is with the combination. Again, good luck

You seem to have tried most of the popular tanks that use a factory coil. If your looking for more flavour you could try making your own coil and wick using cotton for the wick, that would improve flavour for you.
The next step is a dedicated rebuildable atomizer like the Kayfun, but that may require a more powerful mod to use it at its best (im assuming you use spinner type and the vv3 you mentioned).
You could try the Mow ive heard good reports about that one.

I've got some of the new BVC coils in a full sized nautilus. It's pretty good and certainly different from the kanger family, of which I am not a fan unless the coils are recoiled with a single coil and cotton wool. If I chain vape on it, it does collect some condensation (I know it is condensation rather than juice, as it's filled with red Astaire so you can really tell the difference ) Luckily that doesn't affect the vape much or start gurgling, but half way through the tank I like to remove the drip tip and wipe it away. The vape isn't as good as a decent recoil on other tanks, but it's close. Apart from the condensation thing, the nautilus is the most hassle free and reliable atty I have found using stock heads (the BVC ones, not the BDC ones which are okkish sorta)

Have you tried the Naturevape tanks and coils? The coils are more expensive (but hand made). I'm very impressed with the mini I have. www.naturevape.co.uk/store/?age-verified=fee8bbf034#!/~/product/category=8530335&id=33067873 He has a larger sized tank in the same style, too.

Thanks for suggestions Have ordered a Nautilus large size, as theyre on special just now at Vape-it. Does anyone thing there is any real value in buying one of these MOD things that have a battery? When I add up the cost of the charger etc Im not convinced Im going to be better off in the long run, I also tend to find the flavours I use work best below 4V. Ive never understood the Innokin vv v3 as when you change the wattage the voltage doesnt change with it, as the ohms is staying constant I assumed that one would change in relation to the other, but it doesnt, so I gave up on tinkering and tend to stick all my batteries at 3.5 to 3.8v.

With any VV/VW mod the setting sticks at what was last set. You can only set either Watts or Volts. So whatever you've set last is what it's set at.
Changing Watts doesn't change Volts, and vicy versy.

When I add up the cost of the charger etc Im not convinced Im going to be better off in the long run I have used an EGO Twist and an Itaste VV for about 5 months and they are perfectly adequate ....... however last weekend i bought and Itaste SVD with 1 battery and a charger for about £70 and daaaaaaamn do i love vaping with that thing, its not because it gives a better vape than my other batteries but its just the feel of it, its like holding a lightsaber in your hand, its big and heavy and feels awesome, personally it has vastly improved my vaping enjoyment and is easily worth the cash i paid for it

Changing Watts doesn't change Volts, and vicy versy. I thought there was a formula linking (p) wattage, (V) voltage and (r) ohms? P= E2/R ? The ohms is the coil, so its constant, that should mean that if you change the voltage, then the wattage should change too? On my Innokin vv v3 right now the voltage is 3.7 and the wattage is 8.0. If I change the voltage to 4.2, the wattage is still showing as 8.0 ?

Trying to find an easy way to explain. There is a thread but I can't find it.
VV mode: Set the volts you want. If you change to a different resistance atty the volts will stay the same and the power will change. VW mode: Set the wattage you want. If you change to a different resistance atty the voltage automatically changes to keep the power the same.
Simple analogy: VV = manual gearbox VW = automatic gearbox.
The settings WILL stick at the last setting in that mode. What you are seeing is not a power reading, it's a power setting.

You understand whats happening, you just aren't understanding the settings on the battery If you set it to watts then it decides what voltage to send through your atty BUT, if you look at the volts, then you have changed to voltage setting so it is showing you whatever you last set the volts to. Because changing the voltage changes the watts and visa versa then you can only have it set on either vv OR vw at one time. ie you can't set it to a certain watts AND tell it what voltage you want as the two instructions are incompatible.

If I change the voltage to 4.2, the wattage is still showing as 8.0 ? Think Ripshod meant that what you set it manually will revert back when you switch between the modes. If you had it set at say 3.2 v in vv mode then went to vw mode and set it to whatever wattage you want it would adjust it to whatever voltage it thinks is correct based on your resistance, say 4v but if you then changed back to vv mode it will remember what you had set it to manually so will show 3.2v but would adjust the wattage to match it as that is what it was last set at. Same as if you'd set a wattage at a certain amount(say 7.5w) then changed back to vv mode, no matter what you set the voltage as it would adjust the wattage to suit but as soon as you changed back to wattage mode it would automatically remember what you had entered manually (7.5) and set that as it's wattage again. Hope that made sense? It did in my head to make matters even more confusing when it's set to wattage mode it takes into account what resistance the coil is and adjusts voltage automatically to match. However vv mode doesn't take into account the resistance so may need more manual tuning to get the same vape with different ohm heads.

So when you change one on the LCD, the other has been changed when you look at it?
Mine doesnt do that if I change either Watt or Volts the other just stays whatever it was before. Ive had 2 Innokin v3 and they were both the same.
