tank help, please?

[susieqz]

hiya, guys.
here's what happened.
a month ago, i got the most wonderful mouth to lung mod.
i instantly stopped smoking.
then, i got paranoid. if this thing broke, i'd be ruined.
so i ordered another, but since everyone likes direct to lung i thot i'd try that.



i got a smok t priv n i've been using it.
direct to lung is ok, but not as nice as mouth to lung.
i could just put this away for emergencies, but it gives me a fun light show.
it is a very nice coffee table mod.

so, can i put a mtl tank on it without hurting it?
i can't just change coils because smok isn't offering one.

also, can you recommend a good mtl tank?
there don't seem to be many.
some are ugly.
some are too small to look good with this mod.
some require building coils which i won't do.
so, i need help.
any advice would be welcome.

 

[JuicyLucy]

so, can i put a mtl tank on it without hurting it?

Yes, you can use a MTL tank on this mod

Sadly, I'm not very up to date with the current MTL tanks on market, but there are plenty of other very experienced users here on VU that can help you

 

[susieqz]

thanks, lucy.
this mod is well made n i don't wanna wreck it.
might get a spare tho. what do you use?

I'm a long-time squonker, a whole other animal, lol

 

[susieqz]

ok. not interested.
i'll make juice, but i'm no mechanic

 

[Huckleberried]

This might help you out, I had to turn to google. You can at least read about those, then decide. I'm sure there are others, though. I don't care for lung hitters, either, but I make my own coils.

[susieqz]

thank you huck.
i'll go look.
super. i just ordered the innokin zenith which was their top rated.
i want the rainbow colored vapefly, but i can;t find it in stock,
if i do find it, i'll order it.

i already broke one glass of the baby tank, so i guess i;ll be going thru these.

i know people don't care for smok, but i like this one, so i'll get extra tanks n coils.

 

[Huckleberried]

I really haven't heard very many people say they don't like the Smok tanks, they're pretty popular ones, really. For a while, it seemed that the QC with Smok mods wasn't the best, so they had a LOT of frustrated vapers for a while.

For your Vapefly, and not knowing where you are, you could check out some of the overseas vendors. Some of the China vendors carry hard to find items a lot of the time. For me, it's usually 3 weeks when an order might arrive at my door, but some of the pricing is pretty good, and if I can't find it locally, then I don't mind the wait.

Good luck! Hope you enjoy the Zenith tank

 

[Letitia9]

Welcome to VU.
Zenith is a good tank, think you will like it.

 

[susieqz]

thanks, guys.
i now feel kinda silly for buying a new tank for the t priv.
the up button has failed.
i'm hoping it's just because i spilled some juice on it.
i washed it with alcohol n i'm hoping that if it dries out it will work again.

 

[susieqz]

um, does anyone have a suggestion for a better tank that direct vapor has?
i don't know if they will refund my money.
i hate having to find a new one.
i like shop ping, but not when i'm ignorant of the field.

EDIT
IT'S THE MOD THAT BROKE,
I NEED TO REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING THAT WON'T BREAK.

 

[f1r3b1rd]

You may want to look at the new hellbeast tank
https://beyondvape.com/products/beyond-vape-x-hellvape-hellbeast-tank

It works with both smok direct lung coils or nautilus mtl coils by just adding an adapter and chimney restrictor.
It’s prettt neat. You can use the same tank for mtl or dtl, this way if you wanted to vape dtl down the road, you don’t need another investment.

The nautilus coils are really a standard of comparison for mtl vaping.

A better tank than the Zenith you just ordered, or something else?

 

[susieqz]

oops. please excuse me. tanks i already have. i meant a nice mod. preferably one that works with the tanks i ordered.
boy, i hate it that the t prev failed.
i liked it while it worked.

this vaping stuff is hard.
i guess smok isn't good. i want something that will last.

 

[f1r3b1rd]

What features do you want?
How much power do you need?
How long of a battery life would you be happy with?
Do you use temp control or wattage only?
What sort of budget are you working with?
Do you prefer smaller and lightweight or something rugged?
Something technologically savvy or simpler the better?

 

[Huckleberried]

Is it that you prefer Direct Vapor, or that you want to try and get a refund/credit?

Damn. EXCELLENT questions.

Yea, I have nothing to add to this.
In fact if I had answered first I would have missed a few of these.

Since you are liking that size mod I would suggest a aegis legend, tough to kill and a good device. I know you like the flashing lights but they are just a waste of battery life.

 

[susieqz]

yow! that's a lot to consider.
i was gonna buy from direct vapor only because they are holding my money, $60..
if they offer a refund i'll buy from wherever you guys think is best.

i don't need tons of power, since i don't want clouds.
i have tons of batteries, so a 2 battery unit would be nice.
i use watts.
i need something that will last a long time that looks nice, but i won;t be carrying it around.
just answering this list of questions shows i'm not competent to do this.
thank you.

Ok so at direct vapor for under 60$
I would take a look at:
https://www.directvapor.com/geekvape-nova-200w-tc-vape-mod/
Dual battery, nice mod lots of power available. Used either tc or power mode

https://www.directvapor.com/tesla-invader-4-280w-vape-box-mod/
Power only mod, that will last a while but the finish is said to be a little less than rugged. That said it will work and work well for a long time.

https://www.directvapor.com/voopoo-black-frame-drag-157w-tc-box-mod-resin-edition/
Just a fantastic mod with a great board that really excelled in wattage mode! For 40$ it’s a great deal!!!

https://www.directvapor.com/geekvape-blade-235w-tc-vape-mod/
Another nice option that’s a little more ergonomic that the others and definitely works well.


If it were me choosing from that list, I would get the drag. But you have to decide what fits your
Needs better.

 

[susieqz]

wow, ftr!
i never expected so much effort on my behalf.
i can sure find one from that list.
thanks tons.
HUGZZZ TO YOU GUYS!

 

[susieqz]

they haven't returned my call yet, but if n when they do, i'll order the dragon.
i'll order the kit if they price match like they say they will.

 

[Just Frank]

Needs better.

Is there something the Drag does better than the Nova, or just personal preference? I haven't used either yet.

 

[susieqz]

well, i'm gonna have to jump thru hoops to get my refund.
it will take weeks.
i won't do business with them again.
can anyone suggest a better place to order that dragon from, please?

i could find places online, but your recommendation could help me avoid more mistakes.

 

[Huckleberried]

Lots happened here while I was sleeping! @f1r3b1rd you rock.

I like eighvape. https://www.eightvape.com/
vapor range https://www.vaporrange.com/default.asp (free shipping, usually takes about a week - great customer service)
101Vape https://101vape.com/
VaporDNA https://www.vapordna.com/
Breazy https://breazy.com/

Others will be recommended I'm sure.. I have no personal experience with Direct Vapor, so I'm not saying don't buy from them. One of our Admin liked them, for that matter.

 

[MrMeowgi]

I know you have one picked. Just wanted to add the vapresso revenger kit is a really nice one too. Not the x but original. Usually take it to work landscaping and it's held up really well. Dropped it at band practice the other night. Door came off but not a scratch.

Love Ecigity - a really good retailer

 

[susieqz]

i'm trying to order from ecigity, but, for the life of me, i can't find the place to enter the 15% off coupon code.
i left them a message.

 

[Huckleberried]

Without trying to carry out an order, they're sometimes to the left of the screen, other times, right above the final price of the order. They sometimes say discount code or gift card.

 

[susieqz]

thanks, huck. i'll go look again.

 

[susieqz]

ok, i found it n the order is placed.
i'm sorry for all the trouble guys.
the ecigity price with coupon is better.
this hobby is getting expensive.
my mtl pls cartriges was over $200, but worth it.
if i eat the loss on the smok, thats %70, counting spare coils.
this new order is $ 80 n i got %50 worth of liquids that may not work in my plus ohm tanks, because they are kinda thick.
since this is zmas, i'm spent out.
still, i prefer vaping to smoking.
since i enjoy it more, there is no will power needed to quit tobacco.
that's amazing.
kinda nice to meet such kind people too.

You can get juice cheaper elsewhere. I love Eciggity for gear, MFS for coils. I'll let others mention good juice deals, I haven't vaped commercial for over a year.

I know it does seem expensive getting started up, but once you find your personal groove, it does save you money. Just consider what you might have spent on smoking in a month;s time, then how much you might need to spend a month on coils, juice, incidentals... over time, the difference is pretty amazing.

Once you get set on what you know you like, you might even become curious about making your own coils, making your own juice. Both save you a LOT of money. A lot.

Glad you found us, we're happy to help out where we can

 

[susieqz]

i plan to make juice myself, but money is tight right now.
i guess i'll cut my bot juices with water.
this won't hurt them.
i tried 2 n they are too sweet anyway.
i guess i'll have to make my own just to avoid the oversweetness
people seem to like.

 

[MrMeowgi]

Juice wise.
The sauce La/ awesometown
Verde valley Vapes
Vapewild
Abstrakt vapor is good but really sweet

 

[MrMeowgi]

Definitely once you find the vape that fits you, you'll be in love. And the spending does get easier/less. I spent a lot on different devices before I realized it was coils that were my issue. Having to use .2 or .5-6 ohm coils. Sometimes just changing the airflow gets you right where you need to be.

If you plan to cut your own juices, use vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol, which are both main ingredients in juice. Both are very, very reasonably priced. Keep in mind, the flavor and the nic level will both be affected, as you are aware, I'm sure.

Absolutely . They take care of buisness with the quickness.
