Not a bad review for box mod @ 50 watts or less, dont agree with all of his analogies.
the sigelei 50 watt I do believe is a great box
in the past few weeks I have joined the "you dont need 100 watts or more" category :laugh: and is why I really like the IPV2X and the sigelei 50 watt however I do wish they would make one of these 75 watts or less boxes w/2 18650 batteries

All of these newer and better tanks seem to come with the glass which is such a good thing. Not sure why any tanks use the plastic these days!? Noting worse than ruining a tank with citrus or cinnamon...been there and now I'm more careful!


The Billow is very nice, and it has a glass tank, so you can put any kind of juice in it!

I wish they would too. I've gotten spoiled by having devices that use two 18650's, and that's the first thing I look for when I look at regulated mods.

Yeah, the glass is the biggest reason I like the Lemo more than the Orchid. They are both wonderful tanks, but the Lemo has glass, and the Orchid has plastic.

I can relate. I don't have enough room to store all of my vape stuff to begin with and carving out some clean space would be a challenge. And the kitchen is a non starter...like you have said with space at a premium. I remember the days when all of my vape things fit easily into one small desk drawer! Just empty bottles alone take up 2 full drawers now and a big box! But I can't throw them out in case I do start diy'ing again. :p

3. Do you DIY your own juice?

No, and I don't see myself doing so--at least for the foreseeable future. We have a small kitchen that services myself, my wife, our two children, and our cat. Space is at a premium, especially around meal times. When the kitchen isn't used, it usually means that the kids are not at home which is my time in order to try to get things done.

Ha! This still makes me embarrassed just to think about. Facepalm time as usual!!

I like to think she appreciated my efforts and didn't think me a total nut case!

Never feel embarrassed about being enthusiastic, and trying to help someone. I imagine she just thought you were new and excited. She probably thought it was funny and remembered when she only had a cig-a-like, and thought it was the best vape ever! If she hadn't wanted been excited about vaping, she wouldn't have wanted to talk to you!

Kathi, thanks for the input...I am ready to move on to some new equipment and I didn't even know that about the Orchid. I've heard so many people say it is their favorite and I put it on my "want" list. Surprised to learn they don't use glass! Maybe some people don't really care that much? Or they don't use tank cracking flavors more likely.

That's one of the reasons I don't DIY very often. I have very little counter space, and it's not easy working where there is no room to spread out. When I mix things up for cooking, I have to do it on the stove. I would love to have a kitchen big enough to put a table in.

Thanks, that makes me feel better! Enthusiasm is one thing I have plenty of!!

Yes!!! I do the same when I am cooking :)

I guess if I really wanted to diy badly enough I would find the space to mix. Walter White did!

Don't discount the Orchid completely, it really is a wonderful RTA. I still love mine, but save it for my non fruity and non cinnamon vapes. I'm very, very glad I have it! It's great to have glass ones with tank crackers, and just switch toppers when you want to change to a different type of flavor. :)

You bring up a good point about space--and not just for DIY.

When I first started acquiring more stuff than just my starter kit and a couple of juices, I cleaned out the little drawer by my bed, arranged my clearos, tanks, batteries, iTaste vv/vw v3s, and MVP on on on side (with spare heads in the back), and the 5 or so juice bottles on the other side. Now, in addition to my drawer, I have a couple boxes filled with juice acquired during sales, a box for chargers, charging cables, and plugs, another box for replacement and rebuilding supplies, and a plastic bag that collects my empty bottles which I dispose of when it gets full. :facepalm:

Vape Gear... said I would mention other tanks that I love. Did the RSST already.

I love my Lemo tank.. my son.........who builds my coils.........hates it. He says the build is not difficult but that he just feels the quality isn't there and he tends to leave that one for last when tank cleaning day arrives. I love it, it vapes great, great flavor, no leaks, GLASS tank and holds a decent amount of juice.

Lost my little Taifun that I loved to an Arnie Palmer juice. They don't make replacement tanks for it and I had only had it for less than a month. Love the Taifuns too... son prefers the Kayfuns. Guess it is a kid thing.

Yes the Box troll with it's double batteries are great. I keep seeing 50 watt devices that only use 1. I would be more prone to get one with 2 batteries that last longer than a single battery...

Whenever I see posts about vape storage issues, I get inspired to turn my mess into order. My plan is to turn an old armoire cabinet into pure vaping storage. Not even sure if that big old thing will hold everything though. Right now basically every surface available is being overrun with bottles, batteries, chargers, mods etc....
