Not necessarily. You can use a regular tank on a mech mod, I have a Kanger Pro Tank 2 with a 1.8 ohm coil on my Magneto. It also works well with the K100 and my other... shiny, silver mech mod. Damn! Too many freakin' toys around here that I can't keep track of their names or what I have. If you're using a sub tank or an RBA/RTA with a mech mod, that's when it becomes very important to know Ohm's Law, have an ohm meter, know about batteries and amps and...

LOL! Bebop beat me to the instructions. Thanks!

When I got sick and had a stuffy nose, I discovered that a fruit flavor mixed with some peppermint flavored juice does wonders. Not only could I taste it, but the blueberry/peppermint combo has become one of my favorites. Hope you feel better soon, Cany!

And so much easier to open the tank than the Nautilus. lol!

Got my three Triton RBA kits today.

You're welcome. Christopher has been doing all kinds of work on the forum so there might be a hiccup or two. If you don't hear from him within a day or so, you might put in a trouble ticket. If you're having problems, chances are good that someone else is also having the same.

I wonder if the signature edit got lost in the last upgrade? @Christopher Would you please take a look? I couldn't find it either. Please and thank you.

Normally, you would just click on any member's existing counter. That should take you to a page to create your own.

What were you using your CE4 on? That should be a battery, although I would suggest getting another one for a back up. Do you currently have a pen style battery?

How much did you smoke per day? That would help for us to know so we recommend the right amount of nic you need in your juice. You say you want an iTaste SVD? Why did you decide on this one? This mod is for more advanced users, I would not recommend it to someone who is totally new to vaping. You do know that you'll need to buy separate batteries for this, right? Also, I would strongly recommend getting a separate charger for these batteries like an Nitecore charger for safety. You will need to do some research of "safe" batteries to use with this as well. What is your budget for your equipment? That will also help us to help you get the best bang for your buck. @Earthling789 You wanna jump into this thread to help? Welcome to Vapor Talk.

You said in your first post that you have a CE4? That's a decent beginner's tank because you don't have any real moving parts except the mouthpiece so you can fill with juice. I would recommend a Kanger Protank 3 mini. That is an easy tank for a beginner, it's got a Pyrex glass tank so you'll need to be careful not to break it but you can use any kind of juice in this one. When the quality of vape and/or flavor that you get from the tank diminishes, you change the heating coil and you're good to go again. I'd buy a couple (or three or four) so you have back ups. Also get a 5-pack or a couple of these. There's nothing worse than having no back up when something goes sideways. Below are a couple of links to our own Vapor Talk store, they have some of the lowest prices around with no knock offs so you can be assured of quality. https://www.vaportalk.com/shop/pro-tank-3-mini/ https://www.vaportalk.com/shop/pro-aero-tank-refill-coils/ When you're looking at the replacable coils, it will ask, "What ohms?" I would recomment 1.8 ohm as a good starting point. Go with a lower resistance and you don't have anywhere to go if you get a burnt taste. Go with higher and it could drain your battery faster. It's a good middle of the road with a very good flavor producing resistance (ohms). Once you get a little more experience, then branch out into more advanced tanks, subtanks, rebuildables, etc. Right now, you'll be happier with a plug and play until you get the wrinkles ironed out. Just my two cents.

CE4 style tanks are use and throw away when they stop working well. CE5 is the changeable coil, CE4 is a top wick but non-changeable. Sounds like the tank needs to be replaced since it's no longer vaping the way you want and giving you a harsh hit.

Simple fixes are the best!

For me, I'd also prefer to fire to be more than a match or lighter. Just sayin'.

As the coil ages and is getting to the last of its life, you'll find that you may need to bump up the power just a bit to keep it going. Just don't forget to turn it down before using a new coil. Are you saying you've been using the same coil for "weeks"? If so, that burnt taste might be telling you it's time for a new one.

I'm with you, Rich. On my Triton 2, the coil is starting to go so I keep increasing the wattage to keep it going for just a little longer. Right now, it's at 10.4W when usually, I vape it on 7.4W for this juice. With my cucumber/mint, I don't go above 4W or I get a burnt taste and the vape is too harsh.

Depending on the juice, even 8 watts could be too much. Always start at a very low power setting, vape, if it's not doing it for you, turn up just a little. Vape. Repeat until you get a harsh hit or a slight burnt taste, then turn it down a notch. That will be the sweet spot for that tank, coil and juice combo. If you start too high and burn the wick, that coil is pretty much toast and you will want to replace the coil, possibly even the juice (it could get that burnt taste mixed into it).

No, I've never had that problem with any of my iStick 50W, but I have seen that a few others have. If I remember correctly, they put on a 510 to 510 adapter for a quick fix. It doesn't look pretty but gets the job done. Sorry you're having this problem, B.

What PG/VG and nic ratio do you go with, Bebop?

Ha! The second link is in stock, I just double checked it. Yeah, it's a lot more than $5 for the other one, I guess it's up to how much do you want it now?

Well that bites. Why wouldn't they put that info out there one the site instead of making you put it in the cart first? Ugh. Thanks, Shen.

Did you see this? http://www.evolvapor.com/dna200.php It's straight from Evolv. Hope that's helpful. http://www.protovapor.com/product/evolv-dna-40d-large-screen-retail-box-dna40d-com/ This one is cheaper.

And this is why I love my Eleaf iStick 50W so much, it has a 4400 mAh battery enclosed. Even when I chain vape all day, I only have to charge it every third or fourth day or so. Regular tanks, sub-tanks, it can take it all!

Now that's a lot of new gear and liquid! I'm glad it got to you all safe and sound.

My constant has been EC Blend's Feels Like a Nut. They gave me a 0 mg sample with another order. At first I thought it tasted... okay, but nothing to really catch my attention. But I kept coming back to it so I ordered my first 30 ml bottle at 12 mg nic, 50 PG/50 VG with extra sweetener. Shortly after that, I started ordering it by the 125 ml bottle with double extra sweetener. Then, to try to cut back a little, I lowered the nic to 6 mg with only extra sweet. A month later, I dropped it down to 3 mg, extra sweet added. Around this time I changed to a subtank and went to a 40 PG/60 VG, then a 3 mg, 30 PG/70 VG blend. Throat hit was no longer desirable, I wanted the fullness of the vapor and a smoooooth hit. I can't put my finger on why I'm so hooked on this flavor, it just satisfies me. This is what I vape 70% of the time every day. My switch off flavor is Fadora's Tutti Frutti, Compenstine makes a blend just for my finicky tastebuds at a 3 mg, 30 PG/70 VG. The juice is consistently good and I'd be hard pressed to get better customer service. As with the FLaN from EC Blends, this blend from Comp is very smooth with no throat hit, just pure flavor and a full, rich vapor. My newest switch off flavor is Coval Vapes' Cucumber Mint (3 mg, 30/70). I sometimes add a few drops of Vaping Watch's Clockwerks Custard (3 mg, not sure what the PG/VG ratio is, could be 50/50 or 30/70) to smooth it out even more. Once in a great while when I can't vape as often, I'll go back to one of the first flavors I started with: Vapor Source's Mojito at 24 mg, 30/70. I add a few drops of custard to help smooth out the throat hit, add a little more Peppermint from EC Blends and a touch of sweetener from Flavor West. Interesting topic, Chris. I'm very interested to see what others say.
