Intro & questions ;)

[Jessicapinkie1]

Hi everyone!
this is my first post here in this forum. My name is Jessica and I switched over to vaping 3 months ago.
I currently have the eVod battery that came in the starter kit, some eVod clearos (don't like them) a pro tank 2 & mini pro 2.
I have on the way a innok iclear & a viva nova V3 to try out. The coils in my pro tank keep burning out and I thought it was my juice but idk. I will have new juice tomorrow. I've been using the 2.2 coils n the pro tank with my eVod battery. Should I try different coils?
Also I was rinsing out my pro tank for the first time (all the way apart) and lost the O ring haven't been able to find more to order.

So I have been looking at a carto tank from the mom & pop vape shop and looking for more reviews on different types etc.
keep in mind I will be using 50/50 juice.
I'm also looking for a affordable battery maybe the spinner or something?

Welcome to the site and community Jessica. I hope that you find your time here as fun, enjoyable and as informative as I do.

Cartotanks are (IMO) a GREAT system. Easy to maintain, easy to fill (once you have the right tools), and when a cartomizer reaches the end of its effective life, cheap to replace and resume your solid vaping experience.

I've got a handful (okay, maybe a double-handful) of the SmokTech Pyrex Cartotanks and am VERY pleased with the performance/price balance.

But there are others who have their own personal preferences (and solid reasons for liking what they like). Getting a rig that suits your needs and tastes is part of the fun and enjoyment of this practice/hobby.

Once again, welcome to the community and have fun!

Awesome thank you both.
What about a mod or battery for now I can only spend around $34 unless they can use 2 cards lol

I love carto tanks simply because they work and work well, but you do have to prime them before you can vape. Just a heads up on that. It's not hard to do, but you don't just fill the tank and vape as you would on a Protank or similar . You'll need to saturate the carto, fill the tank and take a few primer puffs (without hitting the power button) to make sure it's bringing in liquid. When doing this you may get a few gurgles, but they'll stop once you start vaping.

Priming the tank is required as if you dry burn the material in the cartos, much like anything else, that flavor isn't going to go away and you'll end up replacing the carto and starting over.


With that said, what you choose really depends on what kind of vape you're after. Are you wanting something warm or cool? BCC's tend to provide a cooler vape while cartos and top coil tanks tend to provide a warmer vape.

Welcome to the forum.

There are some good affordable mods out there. I would wait until you have a little bit more. A spinner or an Ego is not going to be that much different than your Evod.

I suggest the MVP for all day performance and have you tried the iSmoka BCCs? The draw on them is a lot tighter than the Protanks and I have enjoyed them more. As far as the washer goes I do not believe that they sell replacement ones, there might be some that fit in a plumbing aisle of your local hardware store though

Again Welcome

The eGO Twist is nice, simple and allows you to do VV (Variable Voltage). You can pick one up for $22.95 at MyVaporStore.

Joyetech Joye eGo-C Twist Variable Voltage 650mAh Battery


If you want to go a step up, the iTaste vv/vw v3 is nice as well and is Variable Voltage and Variable Wattage, nice and slim and works very well too. It's $49.99, so a little over your budget, but personally if you don't absolutely need it now, save up a little more and go for it.

You can get replacement O-rings at your local hardware store. I had one that was damaged from overuse. I took the damaged one to Home Depot and dug around until Homer came over and showed me the ones I needed.

And, the dude really did look just like Homer.

I've been using the evod's lately too. I like them but I was also having a problem with the coils going out too quick.
While asking at my local vape shope what I should switch to, I found out I had been screwing them down too tight to my battery, putting too much preasure on the coil. I was also smashing down the post on the batt.

Lift the post with a small flat head screw driver and only screw the evod down just enough to make connection.

I use mostly ProTanks and mini never had coil burn out on the ego battery.The coil must not be keeping up remove one of the flavor wicks on the coil that may help.Check YouTube you can see people doing that it's easy.You can get replacement coils in 5 packs for $6 a good deal.

Awe you all are awesome!! Not sure what to do first the mod/battery or the tank. Hummmm maybe ill sleep on it
I was looking at the I taste just a min ago actually but I want something bigger in my hand lol

[Proverb31]

You can look at fasttech.com. They have great prices and you may find you can get all you need for your $34.

Too easy...moving on....

I would look at tanks first. It seemed to me that no matter what battery you use the tank is the part that actually does all the heavy lifting. To get the most out of a tank however you need a pretty good battery, The Evod is not bad at all. And the MVP fits my hand perfectly, My hands being larger than most however.

Itaste VV/VW 3.0 by Innokin - NettMix Custom Vapes

i prefer the vods & protank, min davides type bottom coil clearos because replacements are real cheap here:

Kanger eVod Coil replacements
you can learn to re-wick them and re-coil them and save even more $$$$

good luck!

Sniffs bait; swims away.



The Itaste line of mods is great. You can't go wrong with'em. You might also consider the Vamo V3 or V4, and the Zmax. Those are all great mods at good entry level price levels. They let you see if going with a big honkin' tube mod is what you want to do.
