Been vaping since 2011. Started with pen, then squonked for a while with rebuildables (man I miss that actually), then settled down with electronic box mods (convenient and I liked the variability), vaping .15 coils at 30-50 watts. That was main go to until last year when I quit. (hahahhahahhaha)
I did actually quit for a few days then was like, this is dumb, I enjoy this. But when I started back, I went to a Smok Nord .6 (no nic salts for me, I'm just an old school girl). Here's the thing, when it's right, this is perfect for me. Not too hot, not too cool, air is right, tons of flavor. I also noticed my lungs felt really good! I had not realized I had been vaping way too hot for my own tastes.
Problem is, these things are crap. I was accustomed to boxes and coils that *last*. With the nord? Half the coils are crap from the get go, one might last 2 days and if I am really lucky I'll get one that lasts 3 days. I usually have three in rotation, so I feel like I am constantly changing coils. I also miss a slightly bigger tank as I am constantly refilling. But I'd refill all the time with no complaints if the coils would just freaking last.
But they don't. They burn. They get air bubbles in them. I shake them. I draw with no power. I prime the coils. I fill it then let it sit overnight. Doesn't matter. They last about a day or two and it's driving me nuts.
Tonight the hubby handed me a regis geek vape with .15 and said stop trying to make the nords work (he's tired of me complaining I do believe).
Hit it and dang. While it's more convenient than charging, and has a bigger tank, and the flavor is good, it's hot. It hurts my lungs. I just can't do that anymore. I dialed it down to 15, and that's obviously too low and not an enjoyable vape at all. 30 - 50 still seems to be where I like the flavor, but after just a couple hits I could feel it in my chest. I don't like that at all. (I know I did for years, but...no bueno anymore.)
So, I think I'm past the chase super huge big clouds days (even though it tastes good). I just want the smooth, medium-not-hot-not-cold, juicy (but not spitting) vape of a Nord (.6) from hour 1 to about hour 36. (3 mg nic). But I want it to actually last 5 days. A week would be even better, but managing my expectations.
Does this exist?
My other thought was, maybe I should go back to tank vaping, but not .15? Maybe raise my ohm on my coils? I dunno. It's been a long time since I've had to think about vaping. And I don't want to think about vaping. I just want a consistent vape ;-)
Thoughts?
Thanks!!!
