Hello World,
In the upcoming month I plan on buying a second vape kit, and I want it to be more on the "Look at those gigantic clouds!!!" side of things.
So I started my search and in terms of price, coil availability, look&feel, features, etc. the Smok X-Priv 225W kit(the red&black one) which comes with the TFV 12 Prince tank seems to be my best bet so far.
However after a little digging I sadly found quite a few posts on google and vids on youtube(dated 2017-2018) with people complaining about the prince coils and Smok's QC.(some anti-Smok threads here too I see...)
So my question is have things gotten better since then?(primarily asking about the T12 coils) Did they up their QC and can I purchase this product without many worries? Do you guys still have to keep a needle handy and use it to poke holes in the new coils?
While I don't plan on this mod becoming my daily driver, but rather something that I use only a couple of days per month(so a bad coil once in a while won't be the biggest deal) I don't wanna get something that has frequent problems, where the mod's gonna die after a couple of months, or the coils come already broken, or they burn out fast, or I have to poke holes, etc. Specially when I see the price some of those coils have. Like the T12 that I'm interested in costing around 8$ per coil!! so... yeah...
If on the other hand you guys really don't think it's worth it(which would suck since that kit seems perfect for me, if only it would work...) then I suppose suggestions of other products I could look at and do research on would be welcome too. Just remember "giant clouds" and I'd rather it be a kit.
And no squankers/mechs or rdas(or whatever they are called) please, I'm not ready for stuff like that, just want nice sub-ohm tanks, regulated mods and premade coils.
Thank you.
P.S. Sorry for the long post.
