It all comes back to the ideal that "Value and Price are two very different things".

I get my KPT coils from Sweet-Vapes.com almost exclusively. Genuine Kanger for $5.95 a 5 pack http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop?page=shop.product_details&flypage=vmj_color_plus.tpl&product_id=1836&category_id=80 They fit KPT, Davide, Evod

My all time favorite movie is "the jerk"

You could always dip your drip tip in hot sauce before vaping. Hey, maybe you're on to something there... A little ranch dip and then a broccoli vape...hmmm

I personally find that very unappealing but I know ECblends has a novelty juice section and you might be able to find something like that there.

Yeah. Breaks my heart to see $140 spent with little to no chance of getting off the ciggys if thats what madmax wnts to do. It's important to me that people have success with vaping.

Thanks Tam for filling in the gaps!

Yeah, unfortunately you will have to invest in new gear but there is good news. It doesnt have to be outrageous if you know what to buy. You can keep your battery for now. It will last for a while Here's exactly what I woyld buy that will keep you happy for a while: Vision Spinner battery - $25 5 pack Kanger T2 clearomizers - $20 5 pack T2 coil heads - $7 After that you only have to buy the coil heads (heaters tou refer to) to replace a burnt out head. Each head should last you a solid week of heavy vaping if not more. You just take the T2 clearo apart and pull the old coil and replace it and vape on. The kind you have now, you can't replace the coil so you have to buy a whole new tank/clearo every week. There are more options - what I have given you is just a good start. Using the above I had my last cigarette April 9th

Well stated! I started with the Cigalikes (510, 901, 401, 112s) they were good for me for a long time. I ended up getting adapters and was using 901 and 510 attys on a 112 batt. Now that I have better gear, I'm alot happer. My advice is follow the advice you have been given here, it is sound and spoken from experance.

I have 9 KTPs but only one mini davide, and love it, but want more, it's a great vape...and I have lots of needle tips!

I posted this once before, but this is a picture that represents the steps in my experience with vaping, which I have been 6 months smoke free as of last Sunday. Just to give you an ide of what is out there. From right to left (where I started to where I am now) 1. NJoy disposable that gave me the will and showed me this was possible to quit cigarettes this way 2. Topaz stick type that I spent $160 on kits for my wife and I (total waste of money, gave them away) 3. 400mah Ego Mini was a step up but very short battery life 4. 1000mah Ego T kit was where I started to really get it and understand what vaping can be 5. 1300mah Vision Spinner is where I learned Variable Voltage is where its at and still use when not using my Vamo 6. Vamo V3 is where I finally broke down and bought a Mod and is what I use 95%+ of the time now

If you plan to continue vaping I would invest in decent gear. The CE4 clearos that are most likely cheap off brands like most B&Ms carry are good for 2-3 fills at the most in my beginning experience. Thats my big knock on Brick and Mortars and why I will never buy any hardware there unless I am in a serious pinch; they sell inferior products (some not all, but I would say "most") for inflated prices making people think vaping is a lot more expensive than it is. Then when peoples gear doesnt work the way they thought it would, they go back to smoking. I live in a city of over 100k and there is one B&M that I like their liquids and carries real name brand products and give good advice. Only problem is they are 200-300% higher than the same product online. Dude you are on the path most of us started on. I spent $80 a piece on a kit for my wife and I from a local cigar store that was garbage. Once you research and find out what is out there a whole new world opens up. Its like cars. If the only car that was available locally was a Hyundai but you could get a Corvette ordering online for the same price would you do it? I suggest looking into one of the following kits: http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop?page=shop.product_details&flypage=vmj_color_plus.tpl&product_id=2104&category_id=54 http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop?page=shop.product_details&flypage=vmj_color_plus.tpl&product_id=1593&category_id=54 I mostly use a Vamo now, an APV, but I still use my Spinners every time I am not wanting to carry my "Light Saber" with me lol. A couple tips. If you get the Pro Tank be sure to pick the ProTank 2 If you get the other one I suggest the T3S as your tank Definitely upgrade the battery to 1300mah. I cannot help you with your kit, because there is no advice that will make it work consistently the way you want it to. The CE clearos last a week if you are lucky and have to be replaced. They do not have coils that can be changed if I am looking at what you have correctly.

No I am pretending to be working but in reality watching football lol. I have 8 total but am not sure about whether I will sell them or now. Right now I am all about he KPT 2 but for a couple months my KPT 2 sat on my mantle barely used. I didnt fully realize what a great piece of hardware it is until I filled it with a favorite flavor and that night, I ordered 4 more.

The kit looks to be a knockoff 400mah with CE style clearos(2) and a charger Maybe you just needs help understanding how they work. I mean if you are really opposed to changing gear and want to make the best with what you have then my only advice would be to find your favorite flavor , tip that rig up when you hit it (keep the wick wet) , dont hit it back to back (chain vape) and change the top part (clearomizer) in about a week if you're lucky you'll need new clearomizers. You should know that those types of starter kits are considered a rip off because you could have done better for a little less money. I know that's not exactly what you want to hear. But if you are serious about vaping and upping your chances of having success then you should read up here and find out more. You've already spent $140. You could have a pretty killer set up for that.

I know I am way off subject but I just have to say it. That little cool guy with the shades on in my profile picture is my Grandson Brandtly who is turning 2 years old today. I just could not hold the proud Grandma back.

Good luck with that. If I relied on the advice of B&Ms I would probably be outside right now freezing my *** off with a pack of Camel Lights in my pocket. I thank my lucky stars every day I found a helpful community like Vapor Talk. I wish you the best in your looking, but most likely the problem is your equipment and supplies being sub-par in a "big picture" sort of way. I am sure it is the same sort of cheap knockoff starter kits the B&Ms here private label and call something different. I mean no offense, just being honest.

I get my AW IMR 18650 2000 MAH from Sweet-Vapes for around $12. Brian at Veteran Vaper has E-Fest for about $9. You may be able to find a marginally cheaper price elsewhere but I do not mind paying a little bit to do business with a reputable vendor I trust completely.

I have a friend in real life with your same name, first and last name, he lives about 5 minutes from me though. lol, I like the Veteran Vaper and need to order from him again soon myself.

Ok, you can slide this time.

LOL, Harv. I could have rewound even further and said frell, but I usually say frak. *sigh* I miss thar show. Proteus, $8.50 for a five pack is good for around here. Of the four shops here, one has the off brand, one is the $8.50, but the other two shops are $10 for a box. If ALL you need is the coils, the $8.50 cheaper than what you would pay at DV plus shipping.

If I could get you into those Davide minis and lower your payment, would you buy today? Lol

Between Tam and I, those are sold, love my KPTs but the mini davide vapes fabulously!

lol... one of those subtle signs of a SciFi geek! (takes one to recognize one in a crowd)

Put in my order, and the code still worked. Got all that juice with priority shipping for only $52. Can't wait to try them out.

Wow. Worked like a charm! I get it now. Be "one" with the davide ...or your wife

Yeah, I was really excited when I saw that the mini KPT 2 came out.....but I wasn't thinking and didn't check the capacity, and had hubby pick one up at the b&m shop.....paid $20 for a 1 ml tank. That's the more than I paid at the same shop for my full sized Davide....yet they had no idea that there was a davide mini. I sent them a message letting them know they might want to look into them since they hold double what the KPT 2 mini does, so they would probably move more of them. They mark that stuff up by several dollars anyway (at least from Discount Vapers prices), so they'll make their profit. They also supposedly have a supplier on the replacement glass, but that supplier is always "out". Glad Wizard found an online supplier and posted it here. Don't get me wrong, that B&M, Better Vapes, I can't fault them on their juices, or how much of a help they've been to me taste wise (well, the owner and his, I think it's his gf/SO or something), but on hardware, they really don't know more than what they get from their suppliers or outside of what their suppliers carry (the confused looks I got from most of the staff when I asked about the SVD last weekend when the owner was in the back), one of the clerks, it's her weekend job, I THINK she vapes, but I'm not positive, but I know more about steeping than she does, I know that, and her "day job" is a telephone representative for the water company. Another one - granted, he's not actually a sales clerk, he's not even trained on the tablet to ring people up, he spends all of his time in the back mixing juice - was TRYING to help me with information on the SVD, and I said it was made by the same people that make the MPV, and he looked at his MVP, and started trying to google iTaste SVD (when I told him Innoken, and he found it, basically his help was reading the information I already knew, and telling me it sounded just like the MVP, except it was round, and it sounded good - he even said to one of his co-workers, "hey look, it's got the battery warning just like the MVP does,"). I'll buy Evods and coils from them, or maybe if I want another full sized Davide (one) or if they start carrying the mini Davides and their price doesn't exceed the $12 I'd pay at DV + the shipping - or if I really needed one that day, but other than that, or empty easy fill bottles, I'll stick to getting juice from them. Wow, and I so totally wandered around in this post it wasn't even funny!
