I had the advantage of not getting ANY Vaporesso gear until after @Rob Fisher had already found issues with the cCells and was engaged in the start of ceramic coil wars.
Also I did not have the issues Rob and others have had with the black Gemini tank. As soon as I got it I pulled the factory coil out, put one on my many .9 coils in it bought from a specific run that have all been good without priming them, even with 100%VG joose. So I have never had an airlock or dry hit issue with the Gemini, do not have to loosen the top cap, etc. My only issue with it is that it leaks some from the bottom air slots on and off, and from the top air if I have it open. No idea if that would be the same with the SS Gemini tank I have as it still remains sealed in the box it came in unused, and will probably never be tried.
Which also brings up that I have never used ANY of the Vaporesso cCells except the .9 ohm that came with the 3 Target tanks and the 9 boxes of them I bought from a specific run of them. So all of them obviously from later runs than those being bought in SA at first. Some of those in use have around 150 tank refills on them and are still going strong (maybe in part because I dedicate each to a specific juice). So the 48 .9 cCells will see me to the end. I have not used any of the other ohm value cCells at all that came with their tanks, just tossed them in a bag and set them aside.
As it stands right now IF any money was to be considered wasted on ceramic coil tanks it would be for the 2 Gemini tanks, and both of the Cerabis tanks (one still unused) and all the boxes of coils I bought for those two. I'm very use to the pay to play thing with vape gear, so wasted is not really a true statement in my caser. The Target tanks have had no issues of any kind at all. But I have a different tank now that I like better than them that will run the cCells. I said as of right now because it's still early in my use of the Melo III Mini tanks with .9 cCells as the only coils used. If these tanks hold up with no issues at all like it has been so far, a bunch more of them for liquid rotations will replace all of my other ceramic coil tanks, probably including the Targets.
Same with the mods. To go back to the KISS it was when all I used was my Reos, the current plan is to use the Minikin VGOD 120W and 2 Minikin V1.5 150W with the 3 Avocado 24's that are monster winning combos for my uses, and 3 or more Pico's with several Melo III Mini and III tanks using Vaporesso .9 cCells as my mainline regulated gear. The 3 Snow Wolf Mini's will fall away unless I run the 2 Avocado's 22's on a couple of them or keep any Target tanks in use, the new Noisy Crickets with all the crap I bought for them can go in The Box as well, and the TheoJunk is self explanatory.
I've spent enough cash on this adventure, so it will take something new that is really earth shaking to get me to buy anymore reg mod/tank gear at all once all the Minikin's, Pico's and Melo tanks get here. The Reos have never let me down unlike much of this new gear has from the start. So they will always be my top gear, and I have enough of them for a couple of lifetimes.
However, I know me, so never say never.
. Unfortunately some gear needs to be sacrificed to fund new happiness...
