I've tried Pink Spot and it's not for me, either. There's a flavor in their juices (I've purchased 8 bottles from them), that just does not taste right for me no matter how long I "age" steep them.

I really like Phil Busardo's reviews, that he's also entertaining while giving so much vital information is a plus.

This might be a dumb question but I'm going ask anyway. When you built the .5 ohm dual coil, did you build two coils at .5 ohm each or did your meter read .5 ohm for both coils installed on your RDA?

Here I thought I was good at spending other people's money. Earthling789 has me beat! He won't steer you wrong though. You'll be very happy with your purchases that he recommends, but your wallet will also be much lighter.

Hang around, read through the threads... you'll be amazed at the amount of information you can get as well as how often we derail threads and go off topic...

Whatever it was, I don't think you're in trouble...

Very nice, Rix! And a very happy birthday to you.

The clearomizers/tanks that have a 510 and/or eGo connection will all fit with your Spinner and should fit with your Apollo battery. Since I don't have first hand knowledge of the Apollo batteries, I can't say for sure, but they look like they're off-shoots of the eGo battery so you should be fine. The Apollo charger should also work with the Spinner. I have an iStick 20W, which, while nice, I can't say I'd recommend it due to the inaccuracy of the wattage display. I've heard that the 30W version is better, but I'll let others who have them give you a better opinion. Currently, I'm really liking the IPV mini (have an IPV mini2 on its way now). That isn't plug and play, though. The IPV minis have an outside battery (18650) so you'll also need a separate charger as well as spare batteries for when one is charging. To me, it's easier to carry charged batteries and switch them out when needed than to have to wait on the whole unit to finish charging. Your requirements and preferences may be different from mine.

...or is it senioritis hitting already?

You're practicing so you can get it right when you're older. It's happening already as I could've sworn you wrote you were 30. LOL

Heh, you're sweet to say, Mirage, but I'm older than dirt (and older than you). Next hot flash coming in 3...2...1...

What Earthling said. Also, sometimes the coil can be loose so take off the bottom part and check to make sure the coil is finger tight in the base every time you fill with juice.

Depending on how often you vape, the 900 mAh probably won't last the whole 10 hr work day. It's also a fixed voltage device so, while not a bad thing necessarily, it's a one-trick pony. Personally, I'd go with a variable voltage device like the iStick or a Vision Spinner II. The Spinner II is a 1600 mAh variable voltage battery that has the same form factor of the Endeavor batteries. If you're interested in the Spinner II, just click on the underlined links in this post, it'll direct you to our own Vapor Talk store. There are no knock offs and the customer service is great! I would, however, caution you about the iStick 20W. They tend to run hotter than what the display says. That can easily be countered with a higher resistance coil in your tank of choice. If you get the popular Nautilus mini, the highest resistance coil you can get for it is the 1.8 ohm. It will work with the iStick 20W, but it's good info for you to be aware of. I use the iStick 20W with a Nautilus mini with a 1.8 ohm coil but use the iStick on voltage mode, not the wattage mode, for better vaping. YMMV. ETA: If you were a pack a day smoker, I'd recommend starting out with 24 mg (2.4%) nicotine in your juice to get you off the analogs. You can always cut down later, but the higher nic will help you more than the lower. Just my opinion and experience.

The Nautilus is a juice hog (just my opinion and experience). If you want a little more economy, I'd pick up a Kanger Pro Tank 2 (or Pro Tank mini) and some 1.8 ohm single coils. If you get the full sized Pro Tank, I'd also pick up an Aerotank airflow controller, they're cheap and really maximizes the tank.

Welcome to Vapor Talk.

For future reference, if you get that burnt flavor and it's pretty strong, you'll want to dump the juice from the tank (it's got the burnt taste mixed in), rinse everything well, change out the coil and start fresh. If it was the 1.6 ohm coil that was giving you problems, I'd definitely go with the 1.8 from now on with the Nautilus mini. That's what I use on my iStick, too. Oh, and do NOT put the used/old juice into a bottle with fresh juice, it'll contaminate your fresh juice. Just throw the old away.

Reading this thread gave me warm and fuzzies. It's so nice to see how people work to help each other around here. Atta boy, Comp!

To add to Comp's comment, you may have also saved him from going on oxygen full time.

It's Saturday. Saturdays are always great!

Except when it's all about you, huh, Jeff?

You only have to post once. Someone should be along shortly to give you an answer. You say that you're using 7 wraps. What resistance does your ohm meter read when you check your build?

For me, I just appreciate all the work you put into this forum, Chris!

Hey, just an FYI. Vapor = the cloud Vaper = the person or people who vape

How strange. Just went looking for 2.2 ohm coils for the Nautilus BVC but only found the 1.8 ohm as the highest resistance. Sorry! Your next step then, is to see what the PG/VG ratio of your juice is. Like Jason said, a 50/50 blend is a good one to make sure you get the vapor as well as the right viscosity so that your wicks can soak up the juice. What ohm coil are you using right now? Is it the 1.6 or 1.8 ohm? It should say on the base of the coil itself.
