Advice on a Tank needed

[RichJB]

I've been able to stick to my 6ml per day target. Most of my vaping is done on 1Ω coils at around 26-30W. I use my Merlin around 2/3 of the time, with my Avo24 the other 1/3 and then occasionally the stock Ni TC coils in my Melo 2. I have to watch my Avo usage, I could see myself bumping up consumption substantially if I used that all the time, and even more if I did dual coils.

I was considering getting either the Limitless Plus or the Tornado Nano to dip into regular dual-coiling. I'll give it some more thought, not sure I want to up my juice consumption significantly. It's not really a cost factor because I make my own juice, but I'm still entertaining notions of giving up vaping as well and don't want to get too hooked on it. Yeah right, like that's gonna happen.

I find the Nano to he less juice hungry than my other tanks like the RDTA or TFv4. I suppose Stosta isn't used to the consumption these new sub ohm tanks.

In my experience it's not as hard on juice as other tanks

Thanks for the heads-up @Stosta and @Greyz, will be sure to stock up on juice with my next purchase...

I'd say go for this one

A great all-rounder and awesome for taking down a gov..... oh, sorry, wrong forum ...

That's one helluva drip tip .

Guys,

Quick question, How do you know when you need to replace the cotton? I know you get a muted taste, but are there any other indicators? And when do you have to replace your coils?

I'm not sure about everyone else but I tend to change cotton quite often especially if changing flavours.
I have a 3 rewick rule - after 3 wicks I rewind new coils.
All this I do to avoid having muted flavour or bad hit because the coils are dying. It's only a little cotton and wire but it makes the world of difference to your vape.

Muted taste can be an indicator of poor wicking, poor coil position and gunked coils too. If I don't change up my juice's flavour, wick usually stays good for two weeks or so. Depending on the material, coils last me a month or two, but that's with maintenance, wiping them down, dry burning gunk.

Hi @Imtiaaz , thats a good question and not easy to answer since I think there is no rule

For me it generally depends on what juice, what wicking material and what power.

Higher power and darker richer juices and tobacco NETS tend to shred my wicks and coils.

The other issue for me is that the taste "muting" is very gradual and sometimes difficult to notice.

On my Reos I typically rewick every Reo bottle (about 5ml) although clearer juices can last longer - easily three bottles. But when I rewick after 5ml I do notice an improvement in taste. Rewicking after 10ml and the improvement is even greater.

On my Lemo1 at low power 15W single coil with Rayon and my Strawberry Ice (forgiving juice to wicks) i rewick after about 20ml - so about 5 tankfuls. But i have sometimes gone to 30-35ml and its still fine.

On my Subtank mini with a similar juice and also low power its the same - about 20-25ml

As for the coils, i have been guilty of not changing them frequently enough. Some coils are unchanged for 3 months but my devices are used in rotation so not dedicated use. For my vaping style and habits I think about a month is optimal for me before building a new coil. I often notice a much improved vape after building a new coil even though I do dry burn and rinse under a stream of water often and the old coil looks ok. Still tastes better when I build a new one.

Hard for me to judge the exact juice use per coil, but i can try estimate. Im doing about 2-3ml per day on the Lemo1, so in a month thats about 60-90ml. I would say thats about optimal for me for a coil change. It could easily go another month. But bear in mind, this is low power and a forgiving juice on wicks/coils.

For me though its more about when I get the time or have an urge to try something different.

Thank you so much @Silver , @Feliks Karp and @Greyz , appreciate you guys sharing you're thoughts and think I get the idea now. So basically varies with wiking depending on juice types, how often you want to change flavours etc and coil changes will be in the ball park of a month depending on maintenance.

I just needed some sort of baseline before getting started. I will see how things go on my side and hopefully be able to rebuild soon with lots of practice.
