What mod is the best value for the price? Pretty much what Iv'e seen and beed contemplating are; Indulgence, The Don, Buzzpro, Infinity Pro, Helix, Maxiroughstack, Silver Bullet, Omega, Alpha, BB. ($$$Provari, Galico and GG$$$). Is there more out there that I should take a look at, that are cheep?? Alos I dont get why pp purchase atty's for mods, for dripping? Also, don't carto's have that filling in them and doesn't that suck with mods?? What is a popular way of vaping with mod batteries? Ce2's and CE3's? Do the duel/triple coil carto's need to also have a drip tip on them?? I'm confused about the whole tank/atty/carto/clearo thing. I just need some recommendations. I am using ego tanks right now and would prefer not to go back to the polyfilling of atty's and carto's. Any advice would be appriciated!

...the roughstak/maxi roughstaks from madvapes are hard to beat for the money...to use a liquidator on one, you will need a 510 extension to clear the switch...also available from madvapes...the addition of a drip on demand, also from madvapes is a pretty neat tank idea as well...all of the above are at the top of my wish list............

1. What exactly is your price range?

2. People primarily use atties for dripping but I only use atties for bottom feeders as it's easier than dripping IMO. Never enjoyed dripping since I find it painfully annoying. If dripping was the only way to vape. I'll go back to smoking cigs in a hear beat.

3. Yes, almost all cartos have filling in them except for CE2's, CE3's/smokimizers, Fluxomizers, Clearomizers, G4's, and G5's. Although most of those have had leaking, flavor, and vapor issues. With Fluxomizers having the best reviews so far. Anyways, all cartos can be used with mods. Different ohms will correspond with what voltage your vaping at. For example, 1.5 and 2 ohm cartos are great a 3.7V. While 3 ohm cartos can be used with 5V.

4. Different mods depend on certain batteries to make them function properly while some can use various types of batteries. For example:

GLV-2 require two CR 123 batts. Since it's a 5V device, it needs this type of battery to power it.

REO Grand can change voltages with different batteries. EX. 18650 = 3.7V, 4.8 nimh = 4.8 - 5V, CR 123 = 6V.

Buzz Pro uses only 16340 batteries.

5. With cartos, you can just use the little plastic cap that it comes with. It'll just be a little inconvenient when you need to top off to constantly pull that out of there with your tool of choice (toothpick, paper clip, etc.) So, it's ultimately your call whether you want to use a drip tip or not.

Never used tanks such as the CE2 or carto types since I'm a bottom feeder user. So, I can't help with that question.

Wow thank you soo much! This is perfect! So, I CAN use a "bottom feeder" on any mod? I didn't know that ce2's and 3's were bottom feeders. This has helped so much!! So I should go with the fluxomizers or G4/g5's? Are the tank mods specifically built for use with cut cartomizers? Thank you! :) I just want to be able to switch v's. Either a VV or a 3.7/5v. I read the indulgence can vape at 7.2 v's?? Ease of use is good. I don't really know. I know that I cannot afford a Provari at the moment, so just want to try somthing else in the mean time.

...it has normal 510 threading but due to the location of the switch, the tank would block it...a 510 extension to raise the carto up to clear the switch would work...as would the Drip on Demand that madvapes sells........

Thank you!! So if I want to use a tank with any mod I would most likely need an extension? Don't know what a DOD is but I will find out! :)

Actually bottom feeders are a type of a mod. For example, the REO Grand/mini, VV Army Tank, and Old Goat (most affordable). All of them are box shaped mods. They work by having a bottle with a feed tube attached to it. This is connected to the 510 connection to where your atomizer/cartomizer is screwed in. When you squeeze the bottle than it feeds juice to the atomizer or catomizer. Thus, taking the fuss out of dripping into your atty or topping off your carto. Another bonus is that you don't have to carry extra bottles and supplies around with you.

I don't really know if filler-less cartomizers will work for a bottom feeder honestly. You also can't use those with tank mods such as the j-tank or liquidnator. It's really your choice if you want to use a fluxomizer or not. If you want to see what they look like than here's a link:

FLüXomizer CE2 Cartomizers - GotVapes.com

*Just be aware that fillerless cartomizers aren't for everybody and they do have their problems like I said before.

And yes, you have to use cut cartomizers or stripped down CE2's in order to use the tank mods. Which means that you would either have to pay extra for pre-cut carto's or do them yourself.


My best advice for you is to be patient and take a look at different mods before you make your final choice. The Indulgence with be like the Rough Stack, Omega, and the originator of those types of mods which is the Silver Bullet. All those mods require you to switch out batteries whenever you want to switch voltages.

If you really like VV tube mods than the Buzz Pro is for sale right now at $129.00. Which is as cheap as these type gets.

My vote goes to the 14650 e-power. Modular design so that you can replace any part without breaking the bank, good batts that are very wallet friendly to replace, and it's about as light as you're going to find for that big of a battery. Far more durable that a box mod - not as durable as machined aircraft grade but shoot, buy three of them for what the machined is going to cost.

Pick up a five pack of the 2.5 ohm bauway ce2 clones. Test all five by taking out all the top plugs, put them on a battery and fire for about 4 seconds, watching closely for vapor. If you see any at all, clean with whatever method you use and set aside to dry. Fill by tilting and dripping down the side of the ceramic, toss the bottom plug in a box, put the middle plug and the end plug back in and push both down against the ceramic, and pop on a mouth piece. Screw it on your e-power and viola - mini fog machine. I'm vaping one as we speak. :vapor:
