The Right (& Best Deal) On Kanger Genitank Mega Atomizers?

Do you, or do you not, change atomizers between flavors. I myself do change atty's ESPECIALLY when switching between designer juices that I've paid close to $30 for a 30ml bottle. I am wondering if others do the same. If so, how do you store your used atty's and ensure they don't get mixed-up? Look forward to hearing from all of you!  

So I have been vaping for a few months now. I started with the ego type battery starter kit bought from a brick and mortar ( you all know the deal, littile carrying case, 650mah battery, junk clearomizer, and bottle of funky juice). I knew after a week I would not stop smoking with that alone. I then went and bought the Vision Spinner 2 and a Protank mini 3. I was feeling quite happy with this setup and went from a pack a day down to 4-6 analogs. I was even feeling better health wise. I soon discovered the vast world of vaping and "needed" the iStick mod. I bought that and threw the Protank mini 3 on it and life was good. I had no problems with my iStick and it was a huge step up from what I was using prior. It "satified" my need of "smoking". Everything was going well untill one day I busted the glass on the tank. I was not gonna let that get me down though. My vaping buddy gave me a some sort of knockoff topper that used the aspire coils ( I beleive it was a Nautilus mini clone of some sort, branded with the local shops name ). Still it fed my habit well. Now let me say I live in a small town and there is 2 brick and mortar shops. I usally would buy my coils from them and a bottle of liquid every now and then but.....I bought my iStick online. Fast forward a couple months now and I live with 2 roommates (one is a total jerk, and the other is a party machine. We all are in our mid 30's). Well recently I get off work and come home to a "party" on a tuesday night (like usual). Now remember I live in a small town and everyone vaping is using the ego type with plastic clearomizer. The brick and mortar shops here selll those and $100 RDA (which only a few friends I know have). Well this particular night my iStick was the talk of the kitchen table. Everyone wanted to try it and push the buttons. "Who can hit it at the higest watt?" type conversations. The night is ending and Im getting ready to go to my room. I set the iStick on its "charger" (just a handmade cutout box I made for it) sitting on the kitchen counter. 8 hours later I hit the BREW button on the coffee maker and reach for the iStick. IT IS FREAKING GONE!!!!!!!!! Now here is the deal. Noone there the night before knew anything about using it or finding the "sweet spot". The thing is that the knock off tank I was using is a 510 thread and I was using the included adapter to ease the wear and tear on the threads. So I am left with a Vision 2 spinner and a tank that just does not fit it. I AM SO ANGRY! I bring it up to my roommate and she is like "no one stole it, you misplaced it". If anyone of you guys and gals are like me, you know where your setup is at all times. So that leaves me with a MARK 3 disposable for now.
Sooooooooo does anyone have a lead on a good deal right now online? I see threre is a 30 watt now available. So if anyone know of a great deal please PM me or reply. I have limited funds right now but do not want to go back to Parliment analogs. Thanks for looking and letting me vent.  

I started vaping ages ago back in 2007 or thereabouts.
The only ecigs available then were either 510 or older type 801 atomizers.
We then bought the chucks and vaped on 6 volts with 5 ohm atomizers for a while. (Custom made Vivi Nova 5 ohm coils)
This "while" lasted for years, and I am a little "out of the loop".
I recently bought an IPV mini 70 watts with a few subohm tanks (Kanger, Artic, Herakles etc, 0.5~1.2 OHMS).
The internet is riddled with videos of guys blowing huge clouds of vapor with these sub ohm systems. This intrigued me.
What they do not tell you, is that it is impossible to take a mouth to lung puff, because these tanks afford too much airflow.
Personally, I feel very uneasy breathing anything directly into my lungs. My older 801 and 510 atomizers sometimes spurted out liquid.
I would like your thoughts on this one?

I find that a mouth puff gives you more taste. It's sort of wasted if it goes directly into the lungs.
Another thing I discovered is that these sub-ohm tanks vape much hotter than my previous e cigs. I cannot get a cool/cold vape no matter what wattage I use.

Thirdly, The kanger sub ohm mini coil crackles loudly, sort of Pops loudly from time to time. This greatly annoys me and adds to my lung inhale paranoia.
I'm a little stuck at the moment, and do not know what ecig/tank/coil system to transition to.
 

I've noticed a lot of online vape shops are closing. Brick and mortar shops are still open in my area, so it doesn't seem like they're being affected. I've been getting emails from online shops announcing their closing dates. Do you think it is from all the vaping hysteria going on and flavor bans? Are brick and mortar shops closing in your areas?  

So I'm deciding to try sub ohming and see if I like it, now will the sub ohm kangertech atomizers work in an aerotank? Also would an aerotank mega with sub ohm coils and a istick 30w be a decent setup for clouds? Or should I get an actual sub ohm tank like the Atlantis?  

I have a CLT v2 Plus and a Mutation X v2 running on a Sigelei 150w and an Asmodus Klone v1.5. I am a cloud chaser, just to get that out of the way. Both attys on both mods used to CHUCK the clouds like nobodys business. My builds have not changed, if anything I have gotten much better at it obviously with time and practice. But boths attys on both mods just don't do what they used to. Neither performs in a way that is something to be "ashamed" of, if you will. But they don't do near what I used to get out of them. Maybe it's the batteries? I have 10 18650 batteries, all have been in even rotation for a while now. Although I would think it wouldn't be such a big deal in the Sigelei, it being regulated and all, right? Or maybe I just suck and don't know it? I am not against getting new atomizers, as I love throwing away hard earned money on vape gear I don't really need as much as the next ECF member, but still. Thoughts?  

Background: I started vaping years ago when the technology was relatively immature and rapidly changing. I was an avid participant in this forum at the time. I used 808s and 510s with all sorts of atomizers, cartomizers, clearomizers, and tanks (and most of them were awful by today's standards). Some of you who have also been around for a while may remember cutting up air conditioner filters...

But when I found the Eleaf iStick Pico and paired it with an Aspire Nautilus tank (1.8 Ohm coils) I was done. I have used that same rig for years and have been very satisfied. I even quit coming to this forum because I thought there was nothing left for me to learn.

But I know the technology has continued to advance and I am now wondering if I am missing out on the next great leap in vaping. I have come back to this forum (a little surprised my account was still active) seeking updated knowledge.

To be clear, I am not interested in creating giant thick clouds of vapor. In fact I generally prefer to keep my vaping clouds as thin and inconspicuous as possible when I am anywhere outside of my own home (which sadly is not too much these days). It is throat hit and flavor that I am after (so I try to find low VG juices, for example).

So I am hoping that some kind forum members will help me quickly get back up to speed on the state of the art for vaping. Maybe point me to some good resources that will explain the more recent advances. I tend to think of sub-ohm mods as being only for those giant clouds, but maybe I am full of it. But I have been told that rebuildable atomizers offer better flavor, so that interests me. I don't even know what I don't know at this point. Please help me learn.

Thank you in advance for your help.  

Hi All,

I passed the 4 year mark last month without even one cig thanks to this group after 40 years of smoking.

Here´s my situation. I have been using an e-go type tank with a 1.8 atomizer stuck of a 40 watt iStick. I have 5 of them that I rotate around so I am never without. It´s been fine. I get use to something and don´t want to change. I make a batch of flavorless juice that last 3 months and I´m all set.

Anyway, along comes covid and after a while I needed more atomizers and I couldn´t find them. I picked up some tank that uses a 0.3 om thing and put it on my Istick 40. I have been using it for a month or so. It was a big change. Before it was mouth to lung and now it is like taking a big .... hit like when I was young haha

Now I´ve found the 1.8 atomizers again but I´m not sure which way to go. I do know I want to keep using the 5 Istick 40´s I have. I am am way out of date on what is available. I do know I am sick of 2ml tanks. I am sick of filling them all the time.

All thoughts welcome and thanks for being here 4 years ago when I had had enough of smoking.  

Hey everyone! I took a substantial trip down cigarette lane and I want to find my way back home. I’ve not been keeping up to date with the new tech out there but I’m really wanting to get back off cigarettes. I’m going to be lurking around to try to relearn everything so I can get an up to date picture on which mod I should be getting. My biggest concern is falling off the wagon again, and having the same problems as before which made me leave. Mainly leaky tanks and bad atomizers. I’m hoping the quality control has gotten significantly better.

Anyway, I’m super excited to be back with you guys! Say hi if you see me around!  

I have considered making my own replacement "tube" for glass part of atomizers (like my old PockeX that the glass is thin and breaks so easily) Also (after next May) might be making several hardware projects... even attys. Is aluminum safe around e-juice? I know (in general... like for cooking) I avoid using anything acidic with aluminum... I assume most e-juice (besides citrus/sour that I don't like anyway) should be fairly neutral. It's easy to cut and work with.
