Ex-smoker vaping now for 2 months. Rig to date has only been a pair of 650 maH ego-c twists combined with CE4 & CE5 clearomizers. Relatively low watt user, averaging around 5.5 by my calculatons (3.8V, 2.6ohms). Overall very content with the vape. I value flavor and warm full TH, but dislike even the slightest burnt taste. Clouds are my lowest priority. For example, tried a 1.6 ohm carto filled to the brim and even at my lowest voltage (3.2) the burnt taste was too much. Frankly, I guess I don't understand this whole low/sub ohm thing. Can the better battery units really go that low on the voltage? Or is it that the higher wattage can be overcome by significantly better wick supply. Otherwise you'd think it would taste horribly burnt.
I actually like the CE4s when new, but after 3 days they begin to have issues and are much less satisfying. As an ex-smoker I tend to vape the same way, meaning I often vape fast and hard for 5 minutes or so. Replace every 3 days and the costs begin to add up. BTW, I favor the 555, RY4, hint of tobacco type juices along with hazelnut, caramel, coffee, chocolate flavors, all 50/50. I don't know how these compare on the viscosity scale with others and how they affect coil life.
My main interest in an RBA is sustainability. Get a SS RBA, figure out and stock up on my wire and wick choices and I think I should be good for the long haul, o-rings and tiny screws aside. Technically, I'm not intimidated by them at all.
I know I'll likely a need a better power setup, but that's for another thread.
I'm currently most intrigued by the kayfun Lite Plus V2. Most everyone seems to like it. Also been checking out the Russian 91 and the Squape, but favoring the KFL+. Would probably start with a Ehpro clone since I'm just starting out, plus I can't seem to find a real one in stock anywhere. Would be willing to mod (and screw up) a clone if necessary.
But the real question is am I going to be able to get a similar vape as what I'm used to? I know that's a subjective question, but can anyone enlighten me about the lower ohm coils? Do I need to go to lower ohms? I should still be able to build a coil around 2.5 I would think, but would that work the same in this type of unit as it does in the disposables?
Also, any other RBAs you'd strongly suggest for a noob? The choice are overwhelming. The ones I mentioned are just ones I see talked about a lot here.
Thanks for your help!
