I'm pretty happy with my M1A1 Buzz tank and Boge XL 3ohm cartos. Two decent sized slots keep the filler / coil nice and wet and I haven't seen a leak yet after 8 refills.
Thx for the info, JC Okie. Erictho- how funny. I just finished reading a thread you posted when you got your first bottom feeder. Did you wind up being comfortable with it? Do you use cartos at all anymore? I am waffling between just buying a @#*&ton more vision stones and sticking with those......or getting a bottom feeder.
Have you considered clearomizers? The eGo Vision/Stardust or the Vision Xpressomizer/Extreme are pretty much trouble free. No filler, you can empty the juice out of a dead clearo (if/when they die).
Feeders are the best possible thing currently available to reduce the hassle and to provide consistency.
.Has anyone tried the Boge Revolution V2.1 ? I'm interested but I would like to know if they are as good as they seem. I know the battery is not replaceable but the price makes them seem reasonable to replace and I would love the 10ml bottle and the charge while vaping features. If they could avoid all the problems stated by mAdHattress then I would be interested
I was also tired to death of constant filling etc. About a month ago I bought a Vmod XL and I'm loving it. Fill up your bottle, put in a fresh battery and carto, and vape away for days until you change out your battery. The juice and carto lasts me for ages. My Lil Mama tank on my Provari is also very much hassle free. I almost didn't even bother to try it as I had leaking with other tanks if the mod lay on it's side. Not so with Lil Mama! fill up and vape for weeks, and no leaking or flooding at all (even if lying flat)!
The thing about a bottom feeder or a top feeder is that how well they work depends on how well you are able to get the right amount of juice into the atty. If you get a dry hit, it's your fault. It's not a totally trouble free solution.
pay attention to the co-ops in the next couple of months. the "BFG" will be run in there. it is called the bottom fed genesis. I see it going for around 50-75 dollars depending on the number of people in the co-op.
Trust me you will want this one. it will have liquid control as well as air control. The unit is being designed by scubabatdan. I hope he doesn't get upset with me for this info.
edit: As far as the "cost," well the replacement for the coil is pennies versus a dollar for a carto, or $3-7 for an atty.
Okay, mAdHattress, have you made your list of all recommendations? Get out your credit card and start buying. No, wait! I'm just kidding.
I'm just saying that everyone has there own opinion. There are drawbacks to using any of these products. One goes with the drawbacks they find least annoying to tolerate. At least for now. Then we find something else which is less annoying to us and on and on.
I don't know what annoying feature you will find you can tolerate, but I do hope you find it. I have not found mine, but I'll keep looking.
i use the boge lr for the rev2, and i use smoketech dcc for my ego batts. i find it to be the most reliable and way cheaper, so i'm a carto girl for life now. have you tried the vision stone? i'm pretty tempted to even just try one, but i had such variable luck with the ce2s. though when they worked i liked them.
...as I just got juice everywhere....... I am feeling your pain. I am new and trying many different things. I just tried my first tank but I can't figure it out... doesn't seem to give me a good vape and I keep on getting burnt draws ever third or so vape. I use a KGO the clearomizer I just tried was a 1.7. Now I'm trying a dual coil xxl 1.5. I don't know really what I am doing too much so there you go. I know I have run into some dud 510's already... I got a drip and that was nice. Good to know it's only for a couple of draws... how many drops do you put in? Take Care and sorry I don't have any suggestions yet. Ahhhh the juice fling.
Who has a bottom feeder? What do you love about them?
Thanks for your input, Caelius Felix ! If I cant find anything else, I may have to stick with the Vision Stone. So far, in the tank/CE2 area, thats the only thing Ive found that I like oither than the cartos.
i wonder how many times i can refill it before having to replace the guts. There are 3 different versions, they all look the same to me, i don't know which one i'm using.
Bottom feeders is a great way to go. Do a bit of research and find what you like.
Personally, I like the Phidias by fonosmoak. I like good woodwork and craftsmanship, as well as a supplier who takes care of his customers, and the Phidias has it all. Of course everyone is different and some would like metal, some wood, some drippers, some tanks, and of course some people like the mini. That is what I've found and I love it, and I was having the same frustrations as you seem to be having. YMMV.

Good question. Where and when did you buy it?
Yup, tried some of the tanks and clearos, the vision stone gives me the easiest draw with the biggest clouds. i wonder how many times i can refill it before having to replace the guts. There are 3 different versions, they all look the same to me, i don't know which one i'm using.
