Hi everyone, just a quick update. I have now bought a VT Box 250C. The batteries I use are efest IMR ( whatever that means )18650, 3500 mAh 20A 3.7V. And the coil is a Fireluke mesh coil 0.15 ohm standard 510 thread. So far, so good, though any advice on improving will be gratefully received. Be lucky.
Sweet set up. Maybe invest in some batteries, Sony, Samsung, or LG. I get mine from Liion Wholesale.

I have been vaping for about ten years. And yes, it seems like every year I have to buy a new mod. I got really tired of it. The issue is low-quality devices(china made). Low-quality products are usually mass-produced. I bought a high end(relative) Chinese mod about a year ago and yeah, the screen went out. I sent it in for repair and it should come back soon. It was the SX-Mini G class. It was also seriously faded. I recently bought a Rebel 250C squonker. IT has a great chip and it's made out of 3d printed nylon. Hopefully, this will last me.

Your best bet is a mechanical mod. A good one I believe is the reo series. The P67 should hold bigger atomizers I would assume 22mm - 24mm, possibly bigger. The thing with mods like the reo is that they are made out of a solid piece of aluminum. It has no chip, you can literally wash it in the sink. Below is a picture of the Rebel squonker.

Efest batteries are re-wraps, so you can not trust the specifications.

Your best bet would be to purchase some AUTHENTIC Lg, Samsung, or Sony batteries from trusted reputable battery suppliers:

Yep the problem with that setup is going to be the batteries with the low resistance of your coil, which may need higher wattages to get it going properly, and those batteries are (it's pretty much a fair probability) not going to work well with what you have, follow Baditude's guidance, he knows. LOL.

I also think your revenger is fixable most likely and it never hurts to have a backup mod. If you hav a vape shop near you, it might be wise to take it in and see if they can help you fix the low atomizer warning which could mean several things, but most likely more connected to the tank or coil. If you liked the vape. There's no harm doing so and Vapresso is often pretty reliable as a mod maker in my opinion. This is a "learning how to vape/figure out what is wrong," situation, not a failure in my opinion. If I had given up on every mod that provided me with an error issue I'm not sure I'd have that many mods in operation, period.

Use it as an opportunity and welcome :)

As a user of the voopoo drag, i recommend this one. Yes, its a little heavy but not that bad. Personally, i like the solid feel of it. On another note, the voopoo drag 2 is out and caught my eye. I was gonna buy another drag but the drag 2 might prove to be all that and then some.

I still own all my mods i got since i picked up vaping, and they all work flawlessly, you don't need mech mod to get a good vape far from it.

Welcome to ECF, @https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/members/fred-bloggs.338127/

Lithium batteries are often rated by the manufacturer at higher than actual capacity. Don't trust the label on the battery. Go to Mooch's battery tests in the link below and see what your cell is actually capable of delivering.

To be fair, you haven't been vaping that long.
Long enough to know very well what i'm doing, i'm a tinkerer by nature messing around with that kind of stuff is what i enjoy. Mechs are just too much homework for nothing, there's no reason these days that make it so you absolutely need a mech mod, yes they are simple but too dangerous. Plus you didn't answer my original comment, i still stand by the fact you don't need a mech to get a good vape and you never will.

I am not necessarily recommending a mech. I am talking about durability of a device. One that will last. As stated, I bought the Rebel 250C squonker(which is regulated) in hopes to get durability out of a mod.

Many of us never had a choice.
A Darwin from 2012 was very expensive.
A mech was the only choice if we wanted to vape at more than 15 watts.
Thank you SteelJan:
