Change of mind...

[Viper_SA]

I was looking at getting a squonker with high juice capacity and long battery life for driving. I often drive to Jhb (100km trip) and my Zeus tanks don't last the whole trip. I tend to chain vape/smoke when I drive. Then last night I discovered a Pico 75W and a Pandora's Box 40W mod in a drawer. So, now I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a better bet to get a 30Q battery which lasts longer than my 25R's and getting a low wattage MTL tank to add to one of the two.
Problem is, I have been out of the game for so long and vaped MTL so long ago that I have no idea which tanks to look at. I know I don't want a clone, and that I'd be more inclined towards the R500 mark than the R1k mark when buying.
This mod/tank setup will be strictly for driving. Daily trips to work and back maybe and for long road trips.
The tank should be easy to fill at a one-stop should the capacity prove to ne too little with a messy business.

I prefer a really tight draw for MTL, so like a 1mm airflow hole. Something similar to the RM2 or original Cyclone attys.

Hoping someone can give some advice and input here with regards to what tanks to look at and where to buy.

Looking forward to your responses.

Get yourself a Hellvape Vertex. I absolutely love mine being new to MTL vaping. Not badly priced and decent quality.
You can check out the review @KZOR did on it on youtube.

Morning... there are a bunch of winners on the market (old and new)

Exvape Expromizer V4 (my favorite)
THC Tauren MTL (my other favorite)
BP Mods Pioneer (takes a while to get it right, so maybe not the best choice for on the road)
Augvape Intake MTL (have not had personal experience, but apparently a good MTL RTA)

The oldies that still stand out are any of the Vandy Vape BSKR range, Vapefly Galaxies and even the OBS Engine MTL (the latter just lacks on juice capacity, but the draw is tight).

The list does not stop there and I am sure there is going to be a couple more mentioned that I did not put on here.

side note... Bearded Viking Customs has the extended tank for the Expro V4, so you get more capacity and its acrylic, you dont have to worry about breaking it too easily, great for out and about setup.

I have an Expromizer V4 with a bubble tank which I may be willing to part with if you twist my arm hard enough.

Ooooooo ... You have my attention if @Viper_SA doesn't snap it up

For a couple of bucks more, I would go here. Light enough, plenty of amp hours from dual 25 R's, pod holds 8ml juice and a 510 adapter for your tanks. No worries about juice or energy requirements. 2 amp charging if needed. You get a lot for your money.

Just a thought.

Let me hit YouTube tonight and see, but what I've seen on the V5 schematics it looks mighty complicated...

Thanks for the suggestion, but that would still leave me with two perfectly fine unused mods, so just getting a tank seems to make more sense to me right now.

Dodgy back panel, at least the one on mine is but still a good choice if a panel with loads of play doesn't bother you!

All the Expro's are over engineered but the V4 isn't too difficult to get your head around!

 

[Stranger]

I hear you. It came to mind that the Pico 75 only has a 22 mm 510 deck (I may be wrong about this), both my Pico's are 22's. My dual can take bigger. So I thought you may be restricted with tank choice. Like I said just a thought.

The V4 is the one that a bunch of us are using currently (not the V5), it is super easy to build and wick, the draw can be pretty tight depending on your airflow setting and the flavor once you get it spot on is darn awesome too. It handles both 50/50 and 70/30 juice just fine too (I only vape 70/30, High PG does not agree with me too well)

Here is a whole thread dedicated to the V4 and its workings (and our struggle to get it perfect, with results!). https://www.ecigssa.co.za/exvape-expromizer-v4-mtl-rta.t68633/

Do u know what i got it wrong, would still investigate further but there are a few of these about from different manufactures and the one i have with the dodgy back panel is actually the Artery version so this might be ok, sorry about that!

No problem Tim, I just looked at it from a practical point of view. The main thing being that the Pico could only fit a 22 mm which would not satisfy the juice requirement. Hell I agree with Viper, use what you have, Pico's are great but mine are relegated to the drawer due to the 22mm tank restriction.

Yeah when the Pico first surfaced it was a time when the trend was for tanks to be narrow but tall!

 

[Viper_SA]

Yeah, maybe I should add that I'll need a 22mm tank.

The problem you have chain vaping when driving and not needing to refill is catch 22! DL larger capacity but ploughs through juice. MTL more economical on juice but low capacity!

 

[Stranger]

22 mm tank
large juice capacity
Takes coils suited for MTL, anything below 0.5 will run the single 30Q down too quick
or has decent build deck for DIY coil
does not look stupid on a Pico 75

You are you, I am me, I understand that. I would go for my first suggestion

Don't mention MTL and @Rob Fisher in the same sentence he will set Baby Choo on to you!

Wrong tag for me @Viper_SA! I can't do MTL anymore... I do try from time to time but it makes me cough!

Bazinga!
