I am new to vaping but it has been helping a lot. I was a chain smoker and I would smoke 10 cigarettes back to back like it was nothing so I decided I needed to stop and this helps but I pretty much use my ecig constantly throughout the day. That probably sounds bad but as a paranoid schizophrenic this helps my anxiety a lot and is a lot better than smoking just as often. The problem is I go through too many clearomizers and I was wondering if using a mechanical would help with this problem or if anyone could recommend the best way to vape for someone who does it all day long and is on a fixed income. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi. And welcome to ECF. I am going to tell you what I used to get me off a 2 pack a day cigarette habit of 46 years. It is just about the cheapest way to vape and you will use less eliquid. I got myself a couple of 1300mah Vision Spinners and some Joye 510 attys. The old school attys are great because they are cheap (from $3 to $5 each, depending on where you buy them) and you just drip 3 drops at a time into the atty and vape. It slows you down, keeps you busy and gives you great taste.

I now use a Kayfun and I am going through about 12ml of juice a day. When I dripped on the 510 attys I went through 3 to 4ml tops per day, chain vaping. My attys lasted from a couple of weeks to over a month each. Here is a link to check out the attys and how to use them.

If your willing to get into rebuildable atties you'll save a lot. I recommend rayon as a wick or you could just used any cotton. If you want to drip it's kinda a pain but lots 9f people do it. If you want a tank, it's what id recommend, I like the fogger v4 or v5 they are killer tanks.not the easiest but not that difficult either. If you have any questions sort me a PM any time.

If you like to vape often and use your PV as a pacifier, a mechanical mod won't do you any good.

Dripping will keep you and your hands busy, but it's not effortless--I never liked dripping because it didn't fit my lifestyle. When I started vaping, I wanted something that was easy--I had enough to do with two kids, a dog, work, cooking etc. I also drive a lot and I like to vape in my car.

My solution was to have several batteries with toppers that were filled with different flavors all over the house--so that I could just grab one I wanted and take a few puffs as I was doing other things. However, I don't know your lifestyle so I'm not sure if that would suit your needs.

Anyway, you should have at least two or three batteries always charged and within easy reach--they don't need to be expensive--a couple of variable voltage eGo-class batteries, maybe and MVP2, and a few inexpensive clearomizers. If you chain vape, get single-coil clearos--they use less ejuice than dual coils and they produce less vapor--perfect for chain vaping. Also watch your wattage--the higher the watts, the more juice you'll burn, so keep it at 5.5-7W or so. Try a Kanger T3S--they hold 3 ml of juice, the coils are replaceable, easy to clean and dry burn and they can even be rebuilt. Use clean, clear ejuice to make your coils last longer--my coils last for weeks because I don't vape any dark, sweet, heavy juices any more. I even enjoy vaping unflavored sometimes.

Good luck and happy vaping.

No offense but I would have to completely disagree with everything above.

The only thing you can get is a bottom feeder. That's because it's a dripper that you don't have to drip.
Write and cotton or rayon or whatever wicking material is way cheaper than buying replacement heads or anything like that. All of which are not even on the same level, or ballpark as a dripper. You'll definitely have to get a couple batteries , vtc's are the way to go, btw, but you recharge them, way easier than flung to the shop and buying new heads/coils that offer a fraction of the flavor, vapor and nic hit.

If you are willing to spend the money on a bottom feeder you'll be at the peak of vaping, if you go with a mech or dna, rebuildable atties be it tanks like a fogger, way better than a kf btw, or a dripping atty are gong to offer you the best posible vape period.

I have to agree with Katya. a MVP 2.0 and a Kanger Mega would be tough to kill in a 10 hour day. I know, I've tried. The Eleaf Istick is close to the MVP but it's a bit small for a Mega. I have both. My go to work system is to take both with a Kanger V2 on the Istick and a Mega on the MVP. That's 5+ ml of juice and more battery than this chain vaper can use in 2 days. I also carry a Innokin U-can that will re-fill both tanks, just in case. I'm going to the Lone Star Rally today & will take those pieces with me. I will have plenty to vape if getting home is tomorrow afternoon !!! LOL Hope this helps

No offense taken. This is not about what you or I like--it's about what the OP needs at this moment. And what he wants is to chain vape at relatively low cost. And he has already invested some money in his PV and toppers. I don't believe he needs to throw it all away and buy a lot of expensive gear.

The only thing you can get is a bottom feeder.

Not true. You can get a lot of different things. :D

That's because it's a dripper that you don't have to drip.

I'm really not sure what you're talking about exactly--a Reo-type mod? If so, yes, it's a great mod, but a Reo Grand alone will cost you well over $100. Plus you'll have to buy extra batteries, a charger, several atomizers or cartomizers--so we're looking at $200+ investment up front--and the OP suggested he doesn't want to spend a lot of money.

Write and cotton or rayon or whatever wicking material is way cheaper than buying replacement heads or anything like that. All of which are not even on the same level, or ballpark as a dripper. You'll definitely have to get a couple batteries , vtc's are the way to go, btw, but you recharge them, way easier than flung to the shop and buying new heads/coils that offer a fraction of the flavor, vapor and nic hit.

Kanger coils can be rebuilt easily--with kanthal or nichrome wire and cotton. You can even buy premade coils for Kanger atties at Fasttech--for pennies. Many vapers rebuild their Kanger coils and love the results. And like I said above, it's not just a couple of batteries--the OP will have to buy a mod to house those batteries and a charger, too.

If you are willing to spend the money on a bottom feeder you'll be at the peak of vaping, if you go with a mech or dna, rebuildable atties be it tanks like a fogger, way better than a kf btw, or a dripping atty are gong to offer you the best posible vape period.

"Peak of vaping" is in the eyes of the beholder. I've been vaping for 5 years and I don't want an RDA--just not my thing. I've tried several--not interested. Kayfuns are nice, but I find the draw on most Kayfuns too tight and the whole process too fussy and not worth it for me. And I never wanted a mech--I prefer regulated mods. DNA mods are nice, but they are very expensive. What you consider the peak of vaping may be overkill or too much hassle or too much money for someone else. Besides, learning about battery safety, the Ohm's Law, winding your own coils etc. may be too overwhelming for a new vaper. Most people want just an easy and safe vaping experience, at least at the beginning, when they are still trying to figure things out.

ETA: Kanger just introduced a new tank--a hybrid that allows for a rebuildable coil head or their new BPDC coils. With organic cotton. ;)

The best advise I can give, is to first see what is vape possible, and what it takes to get there, and what one is willing to do. There are just so many excellent options, but it depends on what vape path is chosen. Research everything, look for reviews, youtube is a good source, google is one's friend, or bing :D Find what makes you say, hey that makes sense, I can do that, then choose quality gear.

For me, the best vape possible, and trouble free vape is the way of the rba. Re-Buildable Atomizer. A well built tanked rba system, whether powered by a mech or reg, can provide the best of the best vape. But to get there, one must put in the foot work. Time, study, search, lots of practice, practice, trial, error, error, warning Will Robison asteroids. or something like that.

Vape is like any other hobby, can be a hot-rodder, or a moped enthusiast. But one can't just go to the cape and pilot a space shuttle.

Vape is progressive, longer one vapes, more knowledge and skills are acquired, vape gets better, and so it goes.

I never thought would want to wrap coils, wick me build, or mix DIY juice, started with a crap cig-a-like, then a ego + pt. Found the ecf, learned what was vape possible, and learned how to do it right. But then am slightly obsessive compulsive type personality. Take me to the limit's kind of guy.

I drive a hybrid car, but it's lowered with coilovers, has a catback exhaust, CAI intake and a carbon fiber rear spoiler. :D very fun car:lol:


Vape long and Prosper.!!!!

For me the sweet spot has been a bottom fed mod, namely the Reo. I combines everything I like about a RDA without all the hassle, and I can squonk while I drive no problem. I get the ease of use that a tank like the Nautilus offers and the flavor and vapor of a dripper without having to carry around bottle of liquid. And I get to try any kind of different build I want in just about, so it satisfies my hobby of coil winding.

I would second those those who suggested some kind of tank setup. For a habitual chain smoker, soon to be chain vaper, I would think that ease of use is going to be key. If you have to spend a lot of time farting around with your setup the more likely you are to fall back to analogs. Drippers aren't great for vaping while driving for example. Whether you want you go with rebuildable or disposable coils is up to you. An aspire nautilus or a beyond vape silo tank would be my recommemdation as you'll get 5ml of juice capacity and can use the ubiquitous and very good aspire nautilus bvc coils. $30. Boom. Pair that with an MVP v2 or an eleaf iStick and you've got a setup that will easily go all day and then some, and more than enough vw range for the replaceable coils. If you want to go with an RTA you could go with a kayfun clone or the new EhPro/Eciggity Billow. In the end though, my reccomendation would be to vape 1.6-2.0 coils. That will allow you to use a lower wattage, thereby conserving battery. All told, any of the pairings I've suggested would set you back less than $100 total. If you wanted to step up a little bit, I might recommend the Vaporshark rDNA 40. That will give you tons of to grow and allow you to use nickel coils when they become available, or build them yourself, to take advantage of temperature limiting. It's not critical in any way but I might consider going that route since you'll likely be plowing through tons juice one way or another and it might be worth considering how to reduce possible nasty byproducts in the long run that may be of more concern to you (if you care), simply due to the volume of liquid you'll be going through.
