Anyone recommend a good deal on a decent direct to lung tank? Sub ohm coils.

Looking for good flavour and maybe a nice capacity that isn't extremely costly on coils, not willing to roll my own coils btw.

Currently using a cleito Exo.

A friend had the uwell crown a few years back which was awesome.
What's hot these days?

Thanks guys.

Btw for the cork people on the forum.
Went to the small vape shop in Blackpool shopping centre and they were charging 15 euro for 50mls and 30 euro for 100mls.

Not sure if they charge more for NIC shots.
I got 300mls of McB in Wicked Vapes (Oliver plunkett street) today for 40 euro, it's a deal on 3 X 100mls

Was happy out with that for a bricks and mortar store.

Just ordered the Cleito 120 pro tank from vapewild for €27.98 including tracked with an post, and 5 mesh coils with the bubble glass from amazon.

Should be a nice upgrade!

Dr Bill V1.5 · 21-10-2019 9:31pm

The Blotto rta by Dovpo and Vaping Bogan arrived today.
The usual accessories included and 2 spare bubble glasses. One ultem and one glass. No coils though ðŸ˜•.
I've installed a pair of 3mm id Clapton's,not the easiest to coil because the angle of the posts makes getting the second coil placed a little tricky. Legs are cut to approx 3mm long.
Wicked with a length of Firebolt cotton,no issues here and the cotton ends are just tucked into the juice inlets.
It wicks and vapes very well,draw is a little restrictive with the afc fully open at 95W and flavour is excellent. Afc 2 third open and power at 80W is about right for me, strong flavour,clouds galore and overall an excellent rta.
2.5 mm id coils may be easier to install and the seal between the chimney and glass is a loose fit so be careful if removing deck with juice still in tank.
Otherwise no issues.

I'm on the Cleito 120.
I've been a bit up and down with it. Delighted at the start but then started burning through coils. That said, I was getting home at 6/7pm and the batteries were pretty much drained so I was using it heavily. I've set a custom power setting to start at 75W (with the 100-120W coils) and taper down. Seems to be doing the job.
Where did you find the bubble glass? I am finding constantly refilling a bit boring. :P

The Geekvape Aegis line are solid mods .

I would imagine the Proton should be good but there are plenty of reviews on youtube for it .

I never owned any Voopoo mods so I won't comment on them .

Hi

Thanks for that. I found a review on Reddit about the Innokin MVP 5.

You can get 5 mesh coils plus the bubble glass also.

Vapewild sent me the 120 standard in error so im going to try and sell that and buy the 120 pro.

mewso · 19-11-2019 5:09pm

I'm looking for decent empty bottles. It seems difficult to find the best of both worlds. Needle tip are great for precision when filling but the pathetic cover they come with tends to be almost worthless for avoiding getting stabbed when having it in the pocket etc. Also you tend to need to squeeze the bottle to within an inch of it's life to get the liquid out. The standard plastic tips flow much better but precision is more difficult with some devices, sometimes not even fitting.

Anyone have anything they would recommend?

I find these bottle pretty decent, the tip is also long enough that a bit if sanding will give them an even finer tip, good enough to fill a Kayfun 3.1!

Yep the 100ml bottles are about the best available, good for the newer top fill rta's.

I should have checked your link first... it's not the 100ml you have....they have a narrow enough tip though but are probably best suited for top fill rta's.

youcancallmeal · 20-11-2019 3:01pm

With Vapewild having shut down I've been looking around for an similar alternative. I saw republic of vape are back and have rebranded their range so put in an order for some 12mg liquids. It arrived quickly and they even threw in a few samples like vapewild always did. Vaping the strawberry and blue raspberry and I must say they are both quite good. They are only available in 70/30 vg/pg, would be better 50/50 for the mtl vaping I'm doing. Overall happy with the experience and I'll be ordering from them again for sure

The best mtl strawberry I've tasted comes from Dealz 18/12/6/3mg...50/50,only €1.50 for 10ml.

Is that the same as the EuroGiant one? It's a lovely strawberry flavour. The way I'd describe it is it tastes more like strawberry rather than strawberry-flavoured sweets.

Got a question for yous. Was using 25R batteries in a dual-battery mod and they same to have lost their edge, not getting a full day out of them (using about 4 months). What are the go-to batteries these days?

EuroGiant stock a different brand.

Trouble with Dealz, is they never seem to have good/newer flavors in stock, any time I pop in.

Always used Sony VTC5A and VTC6's, tried the Molicell recently and they are a good battery but I think the VTC6 is a better performer.

The Strawberry from Eurogiant is just perfect in MTL,I wonder what it would be like in a sub ohm tank,not sure how the coil will perform with a thinner juice,I do have 6 mg strawberry here at home,the question is,which tank or dripper to use because I do have plenty to choose from.

The Pear Drops is a lovely taste & a big throat hit in 6mg & 18mg.

The Raspberry is ok but not as flavourful as the Strawberry.

There is a couple more flavours which are top notch but I can't remember at the moment,I'll check later when I get out of bed.

youcancallmeal · 01-12-2019 8:30pm

I picked up some of the strawberry and a few other flavours in euro giant today. Vaping the strawberry now, it's nothing special but for the price it's perfectly fine.

I agree with you there,different tanks & different coils changes the taste completely,on a scale of 10,the taste changes from 3 to 10.

I like some of the ones in eurogiant eg rubarb and custard.
In addition, I believe the supplier is from the north, if I remember right, they are called apachevape. They have a website and do deliver.

Dr Bill V1.5 · 10-12-2019 1:52pm

Didn't build rba setup yet, 0.5 coil is good,nice flavour. Very stealthy setup but feels very solid. Only con is the airflow slot can easily be covered with your hand when having a vape, otherwise all good.

I have to admit, I'm impressed with it so far,even the stock coil is good. It's very solid, easy to operate, only niggling thing would be the ease of covering the air flow with your hand but it's not a deal breaker.

Dr Bill V1.5 · 11-12-2019 1:15pm

The Zeta rba build.
An excellent vape from it also. Included coil resistance is probably a bit higher than I'd normally use for mtl but flavour is excellent.
Very simple to insert coil, it's a 2mm ID, kanthal I'd say.
Hugely impressed with this aio,so much so that I ordered another along with an rba,spare tank and some 0.2 mesh coils.
Included drip tip is a metal so I'd replace it with a delrin 510 for vaping at higher wattage.

Doge · 31-12-2019 3:14pm

The Aspire Odan came today from E cig one and they even included a 7ml glass for free.

I'm a bit overwhelmed with the size of this thing even before I installed the 7ml glass haha!

But it's the most beautiful tank I ever owned, the whole top slides up and to the side so you can top fill, no more unscrewing.

It has a very smooth vape with 70vg /30pg but I wish i had Max vg to test it with.

No spitting also unlike my Cleito pro possibly because of how tall the thing is!

I used Vape Wild for all my juice, but now they have gone I am using The Best Shop and Republic of Vape, but I haven't found anything I really like (My favourite was their Rhubard and Custard).

What good Irish vendors are selling juice these days and can anyone recommend anything. I typically like the raspberry/strawberry custard type of thing

Thats an excellent rhubarb/custard juice, it's out of stock there at the moment in shortfills but he restocks regularly. It's available in 250 ml concentrate if you're happy to mix.

how does that work, is it 50ml of concentrate in a 250ml bottle, so you just add in VG/PG to suit?

Yes you need to add your nic or nic shots and your vg/pg. I add the nic and topup with vg. As the concentrate and nic is pg based the mix ends up at about 80/20 vg/pg. You can alter this as you may prefer a higher pg content.

Unfortunately we're classed as users of electronic nicotine substitute products, meaning we are in the same boat as smokers as regards premiums. I wouldn't recommend saying nothing as insurance companies will examine carefully all details to avoid paying on policies.
Vaping 0 nic juice will class you as a non smoker.
I'm open to correction but I think nicotine is visible in a blood sample for upto 3 months after last use.

So if anyone can help on this one, that would be great, but i think i already know the answer.

I have a few bottles of 72MG nic sitting around, along with PG and VG, but they're a few years old, 4 or 5 at least. They have been sitting in the utility room on a shelf where the dryer is, so temperature changes are a regular thing for the bottles.

Are they any use for anyone, or is it better to err on the side of caution and dump them?

Shelf life for nic etc is about 2 years if stored out of direct sunlight or changing temperatures.
If I was you I'd bin them as they are probably gone off at this stay.

Consider yourself lucky as most companies regard vaping as 'nicotine delivery substitute' and won't alter their prices from smoking. Maybe the view on vaping is changing amongst them hopefully.
