Brandon76 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I just got my starter kit. I got 2 Vision Spinner II, 2 Innokin iClear 1.6 tanks, and I also bought a PT2. Question for me is what voltage should I out my batteries on. Right now it is on 3.8. Hey will go down to 3.3 and as high as 4.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe2003 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Unless you have an ohm meter to check your coils,I would say start out low and work your way up until you get a slight burnt taste then back it down a notch. That way you can work between the low and too high settings to find your flavor and vapor sweet spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon76 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Thanks Joe I'll drop it all the way down and see if there is any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 3.8 is about right. If your coil resistance is higher than 2.0 then you could go a little higher. The resistance is stamped on the coil itself. Usually they tell you in the starter kits what the resistance is. When you go to purchase new coils you will probably enjoy right around 1.8 ohms at about 3.8v But Joe's right. Just dial it in. There are enough inconsistencies with coils and even with use resistance varies. Also, different juices will take different power levels. That's the beauty of VV, just dial it in.

Brandon76 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yeah I tried in on 3.3 and the flavor to me wasn't there so I put it back to 3.8. Also are there any other tanks you would recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tx Biker Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I run between 3.6 to 3.8 depending on my coils condition and all of my juice is max vg. I've had my Nautilus mini at 4.0 with no issue also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The sweet-spot for most of my juices is between 3.6 and 3.9V, depending on the coil's resistance. The majority of all my juices taste best (to me) around 8.5W of power, so when I'm using a 1.5 Ohm coil, 3.6V hits that Wattage. If I'm using a 1.8 Ohm coil, I have to bump up the Voltage to 3.9V or even 4.0V. A 2.0 Ohm coil would require 4.1-4.2V. This is the advantage of a Variable Wattage device, like the MVP 2.0. You set the Power (Wattage) where your juice tastes best, and the device will auto-select the proper voltage, based on the coil's resistance. This is very handy if you have different tanks (same juice) with different resistance coils in them... regardless of which tank you use, or if the coil's resistance changes during it's life-cycle, the juice will always taste the same, and the vapor will be consistent. And, always remember that even a coil labeled as 1.8 Ohms will have a variance of +/- 0.2 (or more), which is why two different coils from the same box, with same resistance rating, may require different Voltage settings on your Spinner, to make the juice taste best.

Bebop Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I started out with iclear 16 tanks. It's a very decent tank that performs well. The next step is to go with a bottom coil glass tank. You start getting in to some $$ here but you get what you pay for. If you go dual coils it's another step up but the coils start getting pricey. Any of the following tanks would be a step up: Evod2 glassi Kanger Protank 2 or mini protank Aspire Davide or mini Davide Kanger Aerotank Aspire Nautilus or mini Nautilus Kanger Protank 3 There are others but that's a good place to start.

Brandon76 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yeah I have PT2 and I like it. I've been hearing a lot of people talking about the Nautilus and the mini. Those might be my next purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The Nautilus has ruined me. I now have a boneyard of tanks collecting dust..... I still use my mini protanks and davides. The advantage is coils are cheap and they are easy to rebuild and produce better than average flavor and vapor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Cost is the reason I stick with Kanger tanks... KPT2's are cheaper than Nautilus, and I buy my coils in bulk-packs of 50 to cut costs even further. My last purchase was @ $0.60/coil or $30/case... Nautilus coils typically are $2.50+ each. I also have Kanger dual-coil tanks (AeroTank and KPT3-mini). They vape very well, and in my opinion, on par with the Nautilus. Coils for those are usually $0.75 - $0.90 each in bulk purchases.

Brandon76 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Earthling where do you buy your coils in bulk from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The last box I bought was $30-32 from SmartVapes.com for 1.5 Ohm single-coils. It looks like they've gone up a bit... currently $40/brick, but that's still 80-cents each! You can catch deals from many online sites, and even though I hate eBay, you can find good deals there, just be careful that you're buying genuine coils, not knock-offs. Check vendor feedback, read descriptions WELL, and when in doubt, ask a question! I have bought smaller quantities of 20-25 from eBay and practically stole them... especially the dual-coils for under a buck each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon76 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks Earthling. I'm gonna check it out now. I just avoid eBay all together, just to avoid all that hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
