    Need RDA clone suggestions

    I've had a lot of success with EHPro clones for what it's worth. You can find good deals on ebay. Tobeco clones just don't last that long. With cheapie fasttech clones, it's like the lottery. Make sure you read the reviews carefully.

    sub ohm power question

    I prefer to go with higher resistances / more wraps on my single coild builds to increase surface area and then just push more power to the coil as needed. I feel like the marketers have fetishized the whole sub-ohm thing to push product. Educate yourself, experiment (safely) and see what...

    Few questions & help

    1. Temp control is great if you are sitting on a pile of disposable income that you would like to allocate to vaping gear. I don't really see it as a must-have feature if you know what you're doing. When the price drops, maybe I'll consider it. 2. Dedicated ohm reader. 3. I prefer the...

    What VV/VW to get?

    From what you are saying, it seems like the rDNA is what you want in terms of features and flexibility. It is irksome that the provari only fires to 20w which makes it difficult to run a dripper. However, if you want bombproof durability and craftsmanship, then the Provari should be considered...

    My crappy experience with vaping thus far.

    I am super impressed with the latest sigelei boxes in terms of their build quality, durability and performance. I've been through the whole buying crappy hardware over and over again phase and it sucks. Like anything else, sometimes a bargain is not a bargain. WElcome and I hope you find...

    Vaping upgrade?

    The Sigelei 30w is a great choice. 101 and MVS are great vendors. If you want a 50w, I own the Sigelei 50w v2 and it pretty much kicks ... You can catch it for $70 from a trusted vendor on ebay. I prefer the Sigeleis because the build quality is top notch and feature a yihi chip but also...

    Thinking of upgrading

    I consider the Sigeleis the best investment in terms of board (yihi) and overall build quality. The ipv units will push the envelope a bit and maybe offer better ergonomics (e.g. the ipv mini) but sacrifice build quality in my opinion. Everything else is a distant 3rd in my opinion--except...

    Ready for the next step: Recommendations please

    Should be fine on lower setttings below 10w. You're gunna wanna upgrade your atomizers eventually to get the most out of those beautiful mods! Remember to get a battery when you order either of those...18650 high drain. After you install the battery, you can charge them via usb port. You...

    Looking for a good lime/tropical flavor

    No doubt. Got a 60ml bottle of it I'm 1/2 way through. Seduce Juice's Caesar is a nice lime blend but they have other tropical, coconutty flavors I haven't tried yet.

    Cloupor Mini 30W

    Sigelei 30w is obvious choice. Yihi chip + sigelei build quality = win.

    Ready for the next step: Recommendations please

    The vapro nunchaku looks like junk honestly. As a former Vamo owner, I'd advise you to avoid that one too. My SVD served me well, on the other hand, and if you must have a big tube the SVD 2.0 seems like the best option--innokin makes pretty solid devices. At the end of the day, the best...

    Best sub $100 regulated mod?

    My Sigelei 50w v2 blows my Cana out of the water across the board and it only cost me $60. I wanted a pocketable box and I like the fact that I can charge via USB so I went with the 50w. I'm very impressed with the quality and performance of this little box. I would not hesitate to buy the...

    istick 30w and dripping

    I'd recommend the EHPro Veritas clone which you can find on ebay for $18. It's not a cloud chaser, but a flavor chaser. If you run a single coil build horizontally across the airflow, you should get a pretty good vape around 30w. The veritas has a deep well that holds plenty of juice without...

    Clone vs Original Mod

    I have the stainless steel panzer clone from fasttech and it isn't the best performer but it's still pretty good. It's heavy and ugly but, this is ok because it is durable and can take a beating. The switch is nice. RDA clones can be a mixed bag. I usually try to stick with EHpro clones...

    What Can I Do Without Spending a Fortune?

    I'd just get a sigelei mini 30w and 18650 battery to power that nautilus. After that, start saving for your big money purchase down the road. Lots of new tech on the horizon.

    Why Does Alice In Vapeland Make It So Hard To Order?

    I agree that it's stupid but I suppose it allows a small business to schedule through production, packaging and shipping more efficiently. I know they service many B&Ms so perhaps they are still focusing on that. It also creates a sense of scarcity among consumers so the higher prices seem...

    I want wood

    I would never buy one of those FT wood mods unless I was going to rip it apart and start from scratch with the enclosure.

    Local vape shops very unwelcoming? Online shopping from now on...

    Good analysis. The problem with solely cultivating your tribal loyalists is that 5% of your clientele is taking up all your time while alienating the other 95% of your potential clientele. Meanwhile the tribal loyalist market is saturated real quick. Many of these folks opening shops know...

    Where do you all find all the info on future/upcoming mods?

    I ended up buying a Sigelei 50w v2 instead of the istick 50w. It was only $10 more on sale. What I give up in battery capacity, I get back in terms of a better board, better build quality, durability, replaceable battery (i.e. the sigelei is not disposable) and arguably a better vape. The...
