Like Earthling said, you'll find you spend less... in time. At first, while you're building up your inventory, getting back ups and back ups of back ups, and finding out what works for you through trial and error, you may very well spend more than you did with analogs, but it does taper off once you find what works for you. Then again, we're all good at helping others spend their money.

My favorites are the ones where I don't have to remove spammy links from the names of the eliquid flavors.

One more thing I would suggest for you is... if you chain vape (like chain smoking), get a 0 nic juice and switch to it an hour or so before bed time. This will help with the usual motions of smoking/vaping, but it will give you 0 nic so you can sleep better. Having multiple tanks with different nic levels for specific things will be helpful so you don't have to dump out your one tank of juice, change out a coil, etc.

If I were you, I would put a small amount... say about 10 ml... into a separate bottle and experiment with that a drop or two or more at a time. This way, if you need more flavoring you can add it. If you added too much and need more of your original base, you have some of that on hand too. If you screw it up, it's not a big loss. If you use the whole 100 ml bottle and screw that up... your whole batch is toast. Keep track of what and how much you put into the small bottle so you can replicate it when you get what you like. @Compenstine is our resident mix master here. He'll come up with some other suggestions, I'm sure!

@Edna can probably tell you more about the Pico and some suggestions on how to make it work for you (if I'm remembering correctly, she has one). Can you turn down the Pico? If you're choking, it sounds like you might need to turn down the watts/volts on the battery. Start low. Vape. If it's not doing anything for you, turn up a bit. Vape. Repeat until you either get a slight burnt taste or it gives you a harsh vape, turn down just a touch and that should be your sweet spot with that tank/coil/juice combination. With your pen-style battery, what tank are you using with it and what resistance in coil?

We've all been there and are very happy to help. Just give us details and information... chances are very good that we'll have alternatives for you to try. Ask questions. Lots of questions. We welcome those who are wanting to learn. You'll probably get more answers than you want, but then that's the nature of vaping, it's a very personal thing. Everyone is different and will experience vaping in a different way so it's up to us to give you choices, up to you to discover what works for you. It's a fun challenge.

Glad you got it working again.

Thanks for including the picture, it gave me something to work with. Since you're using this type of pen battery, you might have inadvertently pushed down the center pin. Try pulling it up a little so your coil can make the connection better and see if that helps.

If nothing else, you might try mixing it with another flavor so you can at least use the juice you have.

You could get some cotton candy flavoring and add more to your juice. Cotton candy is basically all sugar so it really doesn't have any flavor to it (or it's really subtle). Can you taste the sweet?

It could be you. It could be the juice. It could be any number of things, but without more information, to troubleshoot this problem is going to be hard. What delivery system are you using (tank/RDA/RBA/etc.)? What mod is it on? What watts/voltage/temp control setting are you using? Is the coil in your tank (if that's what you're using) a new one? If new, did you prime it first and let the wick soak up the juice for a bit before you tried vaping on it? What resistance is your coil? All of these factor into why you're not getting any flavor from your juice. It could also be that this juice manufacturer didn't use much flavor in their creation too... Give us some more info so we can help you better.

The coils you got with the Subtanks, did the coil come preinstalled in the tank? If I remember correctly, the coils that came with the Aspire Tritan 2 were wrapped and separate from the tank. Those coils, while they didn't last quite as long as the ones I get in the 5-pack, weren't... horrible.

Welcome to Vapor Talk.

As you can see, I had no self-restraint.

In a galaxy far, far way?

So... since you were able to read and understand her post... answer her already.

Yeah, but you're weird that way, Cany.

From the tanks that I use now, I still find the coils that come with the tanks to be... less than the quality I find in a 5-pack. To this day I just put those aside for a rainy day should I need some coils and not have any new ones available.

Forget copy and paste, I typed out each letter manually just so I could make sure I got it right. Hmmm. Innokin, huh? You may be on to something, Squid.

Those are not goofy bears, Bebop. I'll have you know that those are killer teddy bears with bad attitudes. I was a Star Wars fan the first three original movies. The fourth one was... okay, but when Jar Jar Binks came into the picture... the franchise lost me. Haven't watched another one since.

The font you used is unreadable. We have many good, knowledgeable members here who would love to help you. It would help us a lot, though, if you would use a clearer font so we can read what you're posting. I gather you're wanting something like this "Ikkonomin" that you find to be the most dependable. Google isn't showing me any results for this mod. Can you put up a link so we know what you're looking for?

Here you go, Jeff. Hi, I’ve been vaping for about 2 years now & originally stop smoking with a avoid be with in the past 2 years I’ve had Leaf products along with Kangerteck, Ikkonomin, etc. This year is been a exceptionally rough & fell back into smoking. I looking to buy a depandable box mod & a good quality tank. I’m not into rebuilding my own coils & I’m not familiar with hybrids although I would consider it. Out of all the different brands ice tried I found ikkonomin to be must durable. I would appreciate any suggestions on the newer products out there & your opinion of them. I’m not looking for a nothing about 75 watts. Any suggestions would be appreciated. *smiley face* Thanks in advance.

And here's another study that shows our friends across the pond in the UK know more about vaping and its effects than the US propaganda would like to admit. http://www.news-medical.net/news/20161216/Lab-based-cellular-tests-reveal-that-e-cigarette-vapour-does-not-induce-DNA-damage.aspx

No, it all depends on the manufacturer. Some (or even many) of the "cheap" brands also use the same ingredients but, like I said, you'll need to double check each one.
