Is There Any System That Works Consistently?
CascadianExotics and one other reacted to CASEACE79 for a topic
Want the truth? Well here it is, EVERY system out there has a flaw. It depends on what you're willing to compromise on. The Vivi Novas don't leak but, provide a dry/burnt hit depending on the juice viscosity. Bobas being the thickest just won't work. I place all top fed clearos in the same category. They are also very hit and miss with the heads. One could be great and the next garbage. To me this system will never work consistently enough to use. The whole design fights itself. The coil is at the top and the wicks hang down to wick the juice up to the coil, all the time fighting gravity. This style people have been trying to get right for 2 years now and while the Vivi nova works the best it still has the issues former models had. Just not as often. Bottom coil clearos work better but still have leaking issues and still have consistency issues. Cartomizers have had consistency issues as well (bogegate) but for the most part that has behind us now. The good thing is that if one or 2 in a box don't work well you're not out very much money. Bad thing with thick juices is that the kill cartos very quick (2-3 days) They also mute flavor. Great thing about them is no leaking and very pocketable even a tank. All in all I believe they are the most consistent. I use Bobas in a carto tank at work most days. Atomizers have better flavor than cartomizers but tend to leak and splatter back in your mouth at times. Even with a drip shield they tend to leak and also make the draw much tighter than I like. You also need to keep a bottle with you to drip. Also remember "Friends don't let friends drip and drive."Lol Genesis atomizers have the best flavor but have a bit of a learning curve. They also aren't very pocketable as they leak when laid down. I prefer these to carto tanks when not at work. The flavor is that much better. There are also a couple enigmas that don't really fit into just one category. The Penelope is a rebuildable atomizer but it's surrounded by a tank that doesn't leak and has an adjustable juice control. The GP Spheroid is kind of a rebuildable cartomizer but also uses a wick to pull the juice from the batting. It also doesn't leak and has better flavor than a traditional cartomizer and since it's much bigger than a standard carto holds much more juice. I haven't tried either but both look promising. So there ya go. While none of the systems are perfect some are more consistent and solve more problems than others. Figure out what is really important and what you're willing to sacrifice and figure out what works for you. For me it was 2 systems. A carto tank for work and while I'm out and about because leaking is my primary concern. While at home I don't have to sacrifice flavor for portability so I use my genesis attys.2 points -
That is a trick question.There are no cigerettes in a 10 ml bottle of eliquid.That is why we vape it.Doesn't really make a lot of difference ,just vape until you are satisfied and then put it away.2 points

So I've noticed that my complexion overall has improved a TINY bit even in the first 3 days of being analog free and vaping! I'm really excited to see how my skin will improve over time while vaping. Does anyone else notice any positive changes on their skin? Moisture, reduction of fine lines or wrinkles, less blotchy complexion, or anything at all? Positive or negative is ok to list here actually. It might be a vain compare to the health benefits but I think it's a very strong influence for other smokers to see and might entice them to quit and start vaping as well!1 point

Hey everyone so I've had my eGo C twist for 3 days now and have been off analogs ever since! I love it! The only gripe I have is that I seem to be using it A LOT! I have 24 mg menthol v cartomizers that are sold by joye tech, I've already gone through one cartridge and I'm on my second, my boyfriend was also using the first cartridge so I can't say how much I really used but in your opinion what is considered a dangerous amount of puffs? I was smoking for 5 years and the past couple of months I was smoking anywhere from 2-7 cigs a day since September. I have been keeping the voltage between 3.2 -4.0. Any opinions or info is welcome!1 point

Rosy Cheeks. I received the most glorious rosy cheeks ever. I never had those before, not ever, in my life, because I smoked steadily since age 11 (and trial runs since age 7). I always envied others who had natural rosy cheeks, and now I envy ME! lol. funny, but true. Wrinkles? Well, ... that's another story. The older I get, the more appear. mmmmm, but maybe if I changed flavors...1 point

Depending on how much power you're applying to the atomizer's coil, you can figure roughly 2-3 pulls per drop. With most drip atties, you can drip 3-4 drops in without flooding or leaking. It's usually kind of hard to flood a drip atomizer because before it gets to the point of submerging the coil, the juice will just leak out the bottom of the atty and all over you. With a drip shield installed, you can (conveniently) put much more e liquid (say, 8-10 drops) in your atomizer at a time, and any leaking e juice is trapped inside the drip shield between two o-rings. If your flavor/vapor drops off, you can just take a quick, unpowered pull on the atty and that will cause the extra liquid inside the shield to be drawn back up into the atty for you to vape. The gurgling you might hear when using a drip shield is just the extra juice being sucked back into the atomizer's housing...it's completely normal. Some atties I've used gurgle a little without a drip shield, but it's basically the same deal...juice being pulled up from the depths of the atty and closer to the coil and wick.1 point

@uma thanks for the reply! That does seem like a good idea to have different strengths at all times since I AM chain vaping! It's so much better than having an analog though I can tell. I still feel satisfied, sometimes I do have an urge to have a regular analog but after a few puffs the craving goes away. It's amazing! I'm also VERY excited about the skin benefits as well, I can tell my complexion already looks a LITTLE better, have you had any skin changes that you noticed? I think ill make a post about that too.1 point

I agree with CaseAce. You'll never know how many times I've written the same message out, and then deleted before sending. Some genesis attys leak like a faucet when laid down, while others do the drip, pause, pause, drip... it depends on the genny and on how it's prepped. Making sure the airhole is sky-up helps, if you must lay it down, helps prevent a lot of leaks. But they are for the advanced users. (I have a Zenesis which has in fact emptied itself in th 5 minutes it fell on it's side before I noticed, and I have 2 out of 3 MMVapors genesis attys that haven't leaked at all. I'm not saying one is better, than the other, but the way they are built and the way we build the wick and coils does make a difference!). Once you know your OHMs, Resistances, Volts, Watts,and have a stockpile of good ol' cartos and whatnots, then you're good to go ahead and begin the wonderful world of new learning curves. But, to answer the OP's post question... "Is there any system that works consistently?" I have to say, yes!!!, the genesis, once you're past the learning curves. Getting past those curves can be ... fun, or it can be extremely frustrating, or most often, both. Like we said though, they are NOT FOR The beginner!!1 point

No no no, I meant, in a few weeks, hopefully I can send you a nicer/safer clone, like an AGA-T+ ... so you can toss out your chid. They're only 20+ bucks (avg 25). The chid is NOT citrus friendly. But, yes, it's an okay one for learning how to wrap those coils... but you will get the top coil hot spot. Don't let it get you down if you can't work out the hot spots on that chid. The insulators are rubbish, the center post hole is too large for the post, the wick hole is too far from the center post, ... it has too many "wrongs" and not enough rights. It was the Chinese's FIRST try at the Rebuildables. (might be a collector's item someday though LOL)1 point

Not all of them. Some you can just pull off the cap and refill like the jonboy lava tank, unique tank, bella tank, and elegance tanks. Just as easy as a Vivi Nova and you use 1/2 the amount of juice per day. Gaga the tank you picked out looks like a good one. I prefer the pull off tops like the ones mentioned above but it's more of an aesthetic thing. The fill hole should make filling easy and it's glass so it should be fine with all juices.1 point

I too agree with Mae and Uma. Too new and expensive for me right now. Mesh works brilliantly for me so I'm happy. I've also heard it works pretty well with 32g but with 28g Kanthal it just can't wick fast enough.1 point

jIn the beginning for me a 10ml bottle would last me at least 5 days. I was at least a pack and a half a day smoker, sometimes 2+. Now with more powerful and juice thirsty mods, I can kill a 10ml in less than 3 days. +1 for mcquinn-- There are NO cigarettes in a 10ml bottle.1 point

I believe this all depends on the amount of nicotine in the liquid. As that is the main thing that would need to be calculated for the amount of packs. So just figure out how much nicotine is in a cigarette or a pack then calculate how much nicotine per ml and you should get a fairly accurate formula.1 point

It does not wick well at all. I used it one day and that was it. I went back to my tried and true Vivi Nova. Dont buy it, its a waste of money. It sux donkey balls.1 point
