When I tried using my Fluke meter I found that I didn't have enough hands to be able to hold everything and still be able to read the output. lol The dedicated ones are only around $20 or so. They're much easier to use and convenient too. Vaping is a healthier addiction.

I've been looking at those but so far have been able to resist. My iTaste VTR lasts forever with the 18650 3400 mAh batteries...

Welcome to VT!

Even though I have various mods and APVs, I prefer to use my Vision Spinners. I have Spinners in 900 mAh, 1300 mAh and the new Vision Spinner v2. The 900 mAh battery will last me a good part of the day easily while the 1300 mAh will take me well into the next day of chain vaping. The v2 Spinner is still too new for me to gauge but it's rated at 1600 mAh so it lasts even longer without being bulky. The charging thing on the v2 is still a little wonky though...

The "really big e-cigs" are probably mechanical mods or APVs (Advanced Personal Vaporizers). For now, since you're just starting out, your Evod battery should be good until you're ready to move up. Then, when you're ready for the next step, I'd suggest a Vision Spinner. That's a variable voltage battery. It looks like an Evod battery except it has a little dial on the bottom so you can adjust how much voltage you want to use from 3.3v - 4.8v. Baby steps. We'll be here to guide you if you want.

All of the tanks we've been talking about on your hijacked thread can be used on your Evod batteries. The full sized Kanger Pro Tanks (1,2 and 3) as well as the full sized Davide and Aerotanks will look a bit odd (top heavy) on your battery but will work on it. On batteries like the Evod, most people prefer to use the minis of the Kanger Pro Tanks and Anyvape Davides so it doesn't stick out the sides so much.

Sorry about the bottom-thingy. It's been a rough day and the brain doesn't want to cough up the right name for the thing and I can't be bothered to google it. lol. Yes, that makes a lot of sense to cut expenses where you can. I also like the single coil because I've been playing around and rebuilding some of mine. Can't do that so easily on the dual coil if you can at all. Haven't heard of anyone rebuilding the duals but many, many people rebuilding the single coils.

Oh, and your tongue feeling burned? Or just kinda dry or fuzzy? That could be from vaping in general and not so much the dual coil. Since you started vaping, have you increased your water intake? Vaping will dehydrate you so you want to make sure to drink more water. Not soda, not coffee, not tea...just plain H20.

Sorry about the hijack, Chud. If you want more of an explanation about some of the things we've discussed, feel free to ask. We'll probably give you more of an answer than you wanted, though. Everyone is different and likes different things. That's rule #1 in vaping. What works for one person or 30 people may not work for you. You'll just have to try it for yourself to see if it's what makes you happy. That said, I prefer single coils. They're much cheaper to buy and vapes cooler with only one coil. Personally, I've never found the dual coils to be worth the added cost but that's just me.

Hijacking threads happens around here. We may be giving the OP some interesting information, however. The newer Davides can be made to accept KPT coils. You just have to take off the top part of the bottom thingy where the coils go. Versatile.

If you're going the RDA route, before buying wire and torch and everything else you're going to need...the first thing on your shopping list should be an ohm meter if you don't already have one. I prefer the dedicated ohm meter specifically for coils, it's much easier to use and you don't need as many hands... Safety first!

I love my KPT2s but an Anyvape Davide blows it out of the water for performance for me. It's essentially the same as a KPT2 and uses KPT single coils. Somehow it seems to give me better flavor.

I use the single coil on my KPT3 all the time with no problems. Don't have to do anything other than to screw it in and make sure it's seated well.

Just because you have a mech mod it doesn't mean you have to have an RDA or RBA for it. I use a full sized Kanger Pro Tank 2, KPT3, Aerotank, and Davide on mine with a 1.8 ohm single coil and they work amazingly well!

Question. The KPT3 mini is dual coil, yes? If so, can you also use a single coil in it like you can with a full sized KPT3?

The Evod 2 Glass are glass tanks, which means, like mvince said, you don't have to worry about what kind of juice you're using with it. All of them will be fine. With plastic tanks like those on an Evod 1 or just plain Evod, you want to be sure not to use juices heavy on cinnamon, citrus or some mints because these are known to be tank crackers and you could wind up with a mess should that happen. Evod 2 are dual coil meaning they have two heating elements in them. The regular Evod is a single coil. This is where your preference comes into play. With a dual coil you might get a warmer vape, especially if you're chain vaping, and you're also going to go through more juice faster. Some people claim that they get a better flavor with dual coil vs single coil. While I've not found that to be the case for me, it will depend on what you like and how it tastes to you.

Was just writing the same thing that mvince did. When the first Evod tank came out mine had a plastic tip. Just did a quick search and it seems like all the newer dual coil Evods have the metal tip on them. The first Evods were single coil if I remember correctly...it's been so long since I've used them though so I can't be sure.

Exercising caution is always a good thing, especially when we're inhaling it into our lungs. They've suffered enough. Thanks for the heads up!

We probably saw each other there and didn't know it. I was the Japanese lady at the table near the Vapor Leaf tables wincing every time the smoke alarms went off.

For me, when I first found this forum, I already had some experience with different tanks and such. Thankfully, my local B&M is very good about information and taught me much. They're also one of the rare vendors who are certified as an official Joyetech vendor so I only got quality hardware for the most part. The veterans here taught me about direct dripping and got me into more of the advanced stuff. Their patience and endless information helped me along so that I can now help others. You guys are the next wave to help noobs get off and stay off analogs. *passes the baton*

Congrats!

Mine is doing the same thing on a Joyetech charger today. WTH???

Have you been chain vaping? Dual coils get hotter than singles. Also, take your battery out and check for any irregularities. Try another battery in it to see if it heats up too.

The gold magneto. It's not shiny, looks a little aged, which I really like. It's more of a subtle elegance that comes from its sheer simplicity. And the price was excellent!
