So, I've been vaping for about a week now. I have some standard 650 eGo batteries and a 1000 eGo Twist.
I've tried out several different juices, with different ratios, and so far my favorite is a pure VG 24.
I've also tried out a few different clearomizers, starting with some off-brand top-coil plastics and now a Kanger mini Pro 2. I also have the stupid little leaky plastic tanks that came with my eGo starter kit.

The Good:
I basically spontaneously quit smokes (almost) like the first day I had my setup... smoked two that day, and only 1 each day since. Had been smoking a carton of Marbs/week.

The Problem:
Of the juices I've had, I like the pure VG best -- is less... "fluffy"... for lack of a better word -- and the one I've settled on for my ADV is Johnson Creek's Kiln House, Gold Reserve in the 2.4% (24). It is really thick, syrupy. And it is not vaping very well in the Protank Mini, nor in my other clearos. It does vape very well, great volume and taste with no latency, with the Type-A Joye atomizer... but then I'm using these stupid tiny tanks that will leak juice all over everything at some point, most likely sooner rather than later.
I really wanted to like the Kanger: the atomizers are very cheap, less than half the cost of the Joye Type-A; the tank looks great on my eGo batts (everything stainless steel); and of course it's a bottom-coil, which is supposed to work good for thicker juices (I've been told). I know for sure that it takes less priming than do the top-coils I have. But, I've just burnt the first coil, in less than a day. From what I've read here, this may be due to the fact that I'm pulling to frequently, and the 2.5 coil can't handle it... I'd test it with a lower resistance coil, but the pack my mini Pro came in had a 2.5 and a 2.4... so not much difference. I've been running the 2.5 atomizer at about 3.95v, which seemed to give me the best vapor.
So I'm considering ordering a Joye eGo-CC clearomizer tank, which will work with the Type-A atomizers I have; from what I can tell they have a wick assembly that works well with the juice I'm vaping (the short, vertical single wicks), at least with the Joye tanks.
Are there any other options? Will a lower resistance coil help solve this problem in my mini Pro? Is there something I can do to prevent the 2.4 coil from burning? Higher voltage? Mess with the wick? I have to order the eGo-CC online, which will take a while to get here, and I'm loathe to use the plastic Joye tanks until then...
Any advice would be welcomed and appreciated.
