Need some advice from a few advanced users.

I'm looking to splurge all out, and I'm a bit torn here.

I know I'm getting a Steam Turbine. I love genny attys so that's a no brainer.

As far as the mod, I'm stuck.

I want either a Nemesis, an Atmizoo Dingo, or a 69 Telescopic Rev. 2, though I'm certainly open to other options.

Also, I love my glass drip tip, but has anyone ever used the Popeye by Vapelabs? It's awesome.

Popeye

Again, I'm open to other options, and if you know of some website that sells any of these at a price slightly below average, that would be great.

Or should I just abandon all and buy a Reo Grand?

Help please, I'm stressin'.

id get the roller over the dingo, that way you can use all the batteries, even has an optional kick extension available. fabulous mod.

No Nemesis fans here? Interesting...

I meant to say the Atmizoo Roller, not the Dingo. SS, of course.

Again, also like the 69 Rev. 2 a lot. Love the option to switch the button to the upper half, though that's the reason I was interested in the Atmizoo anyway.

More help, please.

@Steam Turbine, the guy at my local B&M says not to switch to a dripper or I'll never use my genesis attys again. Quite a statement considering your user name. Is the video worth 37 minutes of my time?

IMO each device serves a different purpose.
I started out like most, egos with clearo. Next was the genisis attys, then came the drippers. Now it is cartos. And I have neglected the drippers, and I am experimenting on atty builds.
When I want to taste a couple of new flavors(a couple days worth of dripping for me to see if I like the juice or not) I set up one of my good drippers and have at it.
My needs seem to shift, I am glad I have enough gear to feed my flexibility.

IMO the side button mods are great for not having to lock the firing button to sit the mod down,
I say get the 69

personally I like atmom's work but im not a fan of the bottom button mods myself. had the 69, while a nice piece of kit i felt the button was way too soft, was going to change out the springs but never got around to it before i sold it.

I also didnt care for the pin design, there is no spring just a pin in the bottom, while it makes a stronger contact it was very easy to overtighten the mod and dent the battery as well as just in traveling the mod unscrews just a little and you then lose contact as well.


as for the video, it is for the kayfun it is set up like a dripper but it is actually a bottom feed tank design, very well made and pretty leakproof, i have one for out and about and they work awesome.

IMHO with enough time and tinkering I have been able to get almost identical flavor out of my drippers and genis so it comes down to the build.

I am well aware of that fact.
Just saying that just cause you use a dripper doesnt mean you will never pick up another delivery device. Or visa versa. IMO

I must say, I much prefer my Natural to my Magneto. I thought the side button was slightly aggravating but the bottom button is a whole different story. I also really like the Atmizoo's look, and it makes it clear that it has a floating pin, as well as different accessibility for different batteries. Also, my story is similar to yours, but in a different order; I started with a Lavatube and ViviNova style tanks, really basic. While still using the Lavatube I tried cartos, and I must say I was very displeased. I even tried cartos again after I advanced a bit in vaping ability, and still didn't like them. And, just a note, that guy in the video gets NO VAPOR! What is that about?! Another one of the guys at my B&M is like you, he uses his drip atty or genesis, simply depending on his mood. I love my genesis, hands down. I don't know if that will change, so the Steam Turbine still seems like a safe bet.

As for the mod, I want something solid! Something I can rely on, time and time again. You said you weren't a big fan of the 69? That's good to know... Again, I really like the Atmizoo. What is your favorite mod? I like the Just GG, but the button is on the bottom, and I'm like WHYYYYY?!

Hands down get the Reo. Been using the same one for almost 3 years and it is still as good as new. Darn near bullet proof also. Dropped on concrete multiple times, shrugs off a trip to the deep end of a pool, and works great to play fetch with my dog. You cant ask for a more solid mod with the best support out there.

My favorite (in house mod is my Poldiac-Aname)
My out and about (daily work) mod is the chi brass clone topped with the Immortalizer. Strong hitter

Yes, yes and yes!

Went through the same type of decision a month ago, went with the REO grand and there's no looking back. Rock solid construction, 6ml capacity, the best customer service in the biz and dripping without having to drip! What's not to like?!

I was never one of those committed Marlboro Red smokers...I always found the cheapest cigarettes I could find...my last was Basic 100..till the taxes became too much...then I discovered little cigars..

Cigars are smoked by rich white men so they opted out of charging exorbitant taxes on those...but little cigars smoked just like cigarettes, but were considered to be cigars.

AND if you got then from an Indian Reservation..they were that much cheaper..I used to buy cartons for 14.49 each...and bought 10 cartons at a time.... I still have 10 cartons in the house somewhere (sig other hid them since I started vaping...just to keep them at bay)

I have spent in October $149.08 for my start up cigalike kit and 24mg carts plus an extra auto battery and 2 packs of 18mg carts and my new eGo and 24mg juice..plus supplying my room mate with 2 carts of the cigalike 6mg carts..(I gave her my cigalikes) STILL cheaper than 10 cartons of the cheapest cigars one could find at an Indian Reservation...

It should last us a month and a half...then all we will need is juice and an occasional new battery...I know I am ahead of the game already!
