Hey everyone - I have a couple questions I was wondering if you could help me with, as well as maybe break down some of the lingo that I'm trying to cross-reference and research what they mean when I see you guys using acronyms, lol. So, I'll get right to it.
Quickly, I've been vaping about a year off and on, a little more in the past 6 months, so I've decided to try and learn some more and try some different things.
In May, I got a Kangertech Topbox mini, primarily because I thought at first I'd be happier with something smaller and not so bulky to carry around to somewhat replace cigarettes, etc. Well, with the Topbox mini, it only has one battery, and I've been running into a lot of issues with my battery constantly dying even though I'm not using it that much, so I wasn't sure if I just need a new battery, or if that's just the way it is... Many times I'll charge it up and it shows full, but after a few hits... the battery blinks and shows empty when pressing hit button, but then shows full again when I release... I'm not sure what that means?
Furthermore, about a month ago I decided to change the coil (I believe I was using .15, but I'm not sure, I'm using 0.5 now and seem to like it.) However, the rubber seal was beginning to separate on the bottom part of the glass, but I tried to go ahead and reseat and replace... but after a day or so, I went to hit it and hot liquid came out the vents and burned my hand - I went to the store and he said it's probably a bad coil. I don't know - but it scared me, kinda... Anyway, it continued to leak so I just bought a new tank for the time being while I research a better build.
So - I bought a Tobeco Super tank Mini - it worked fine for the last month until earlier tonight - it's started leaking as well. *sigh* So now I'm just aggravated.
So here's my questions:

So here's my questions:
- Are there any boxes that are smaller/easier to carry that my battery isn't constantly going dead with, or do I have to resort to a bigger box with multiple batteries. If so, one I have been researching is the Wismec Reuleaux RX200S - do you know if that's a good one to upgrade to? or is there anything inbetween just as well? It holds 3 batts, so that's gonna be a good chunk of change - which I've read the Samsung batts are better to go with? Annndd I guess I'll need to get a dock charger thing.
- Second, I'm still at a loss for which tank to go with for this box I listed above, if I go that route, I'm not sure which coil is best except that I'm good with the .5 coil. I've read Clapton is good. I don't know exactly the benefits of SS, Ni, etc or why I'd choose one over the other just yet. I just like a lot of vapor, and I think I am more of a direct lung hitter - since I'd read some are more directed for MTL opposed to DL hitting. I like the vaping experience but I'd also like it to satisfy the extent of smoking/wanting a cigarette. Currently, I use about 45-50 watt setting, wide open vent. I'm also not sure how I'll know when a coil is bad or how often to change them.
- One of the hardest things for me has been finding a liquid I like, so currently I'm using a type that is just like a regular full-flavor cigarette that is made at a local shop here... I'll venture out on this later but I don't understand what PG/VG means? Also, why some nicotine levels are numbered different. I want something similar, maybe a lil lower than a regular cigarette right now, but I don't know how to equate the numbers. I'll also prove a picture of the liquid I use. It's 6mg. Are some liquids not supposed to be used with certain boxes/tanks? That's a whole other thing, so I'll move on.
- Lastly, how do you all carry your box? Maybe silly question, but if I carry in a purse should I always carry upright, etc?
