kas917 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I would like some suggestions on what tank to use with an iTaste vv 3. I am new to this sort of vaping and the iTaste was reccomended to me. I just want to get set up for under 50.00. Also, what's a good menthol juice? I usually smoke camel menthol silvers but am done (again) with analogs. Thanks guys!!

Earthling789 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi, and welcome! The VV3 is a good battery, but as for what tank to use... there are dozens of "good" ones... but to determine which is better for you will be up to you. I'll offer some suggestions, based on personal experience: Since you mentioned Menthol, you will want to ONLY use Pyrex tanks. Menthol will cloud a plastic tank and eventually cause it to crack and leak Of the Pyrex tanks, there are several coil styles among the manufacturers -- single-coil and dual-coil configurations being most prevalent. I personally use tanks from Kanger (ProTank2, AeroTank, ProTank3-mini, EVOD), while many on this forum highly recommend the Aspire Nautilus tanks, I have tried them (not the new vertical coil), and find they are not worth the extra cost over a Kanger AeroTank or KPT2 with Air-flow-control base added... again, just my $0.02. I do hear the new design of Nautilus is nicer, but I've not tried one yet. The best thing to do is try a few if you can... but remember each brand or tank-style may or may not use the same coils... so if you have 20 different tanks, you may have to keep up with 4-5 coil types for them (more expensive that way).

kas917 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Oh boy, this is more complicated than I thought. I thought it was just a two piece setup, the battery and tank, what's the coil? I might need it spelled out for me what exactly I could buy that would fit together... Maybe a starter kit of some sort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas917 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 So, I'm looking at the Kanger Mini ProTank 2, that would fit on the VV3? Thanks for all your help, BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishguy1123 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yep, I started with that same setup. Still have and use both of them daily. Coils are reasonably priced as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas917 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 What exactly is the coil, is it something that has to be replaced? Where do you guys get juice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas917 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 So I'm slowly learning here. I think what I need to get started is: Battery Tank Coil replacements for that tank (how do you know when to replace?) Juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishguy1123 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The coil is what heats up to produce the vapor. They're replaceable on most newer tanks now. It just screws/unscrews inside the bottom or top depending on the model tank you buy. Very easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishguy1123 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) If your battery doesn't come with a charger you will need one of those as well. For the vv v3 I use my cell phone charger. The coils will get gunked up after about a week in alot of cases, some last longer and some are just duds... lol You will start to notice a lack of vapor and the flavor will start to change, thats when you change it out. Some juices will cause it to crap out faster than others so you will just have to play it by ear until you get used to it a lil.

kas917 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Thank you so much!! I think I know what I need now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yes, basically what FishGuy said... Charger, battery, tank, spare coils, and juices... I've had coils last only a week before they became obvious they needed changing (lack of flavor, hard to draw, leaking, etc), and I've had some last a month or longer... that is why you need spares, as they will always "Go South" on you at the least opportune moments Same thing for Batteries goes for coils... and tanks... you'll want to have at least two of everything... (or more). Your VV3 is a good battery, but what if it becomes damaged or loses charge in the middle of the day? You need a back-up battery, even a smaller or cheaper one... doesn't have to be another VV3. Spare tanks and coils are always a must-have as you try new juices, too... easier to pop in a new flavor into a fresh tank than to take the time to clean out your ONE tank and wait for it to dry, or have flavors mixing that you don't want mixed. christov11 and Tam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good menthol juice in my opinion is "Thug Juice" from "mtbakervapor.com" I suggest getting getting 65pg/35vg, with a nicotine strength of your desire, as for shots I never get any. That setup has given me thee best flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxile Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I just picked up and Aerotank myself Keri and I highly recommend it, expecially with your VV as you can dial in the correct volts and airflow for the perfect smoke for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
