i am not positive this is a bottom feeder, but it sure looks like one. There are two versions at NHALER but i linked to the 5volt one. If its not a bottom feeder sorry for the post.

Wet Box

and thanks for this list i have found it invaluable

This is a bottom feeder, but they are mainly for cartomizer use.
Thanks for the link!

this seems like a pretty straightahead immediately available relatively mass produced item. has it been around long? Does it leak? I've been trying to buy a rReo with no success for about a month and if i don't hit it this weekend i am just going to go with brand xyz. I prefer metal to plastic---but for some reason shy away from the wood models (although AG certainly has quite a set--bt do you vape them all? which one is really the go to vape?) Any other metal bottom feeders beside the reo grand and mini?

Oakland,

As far as I know, Missy's WetBox is not mass-produced. Like many other mods, it is a "cottage industry" product produced by a small number of people, mostly by hand. It's essentially a plastic 2AA battery box, sprayed (nicely) with texture paint, that uses one 14500 battery and a needle feed system. The WetBox was designed to be used with cartomizers, but the feed needle can be cut down a bit for use with atomizers. Version 1 of the WetBox was cursed with an unsealed firing switch that often burned out because of internal juice leaks. This problem was solved in Version 2 by sealing the switch inside some sort of plastic resin or epoxy. I own a Version 2 WetBox and have been pleasantly surprised. Though inherently a bit flimsy (like all plastic 2AA/3AA battery box mods), it has proven sturdier than I expected, and the light weight is a plus.

Be forewarned that ALL feeder mods (especially bottom-feeders) are prone to leaks, some more than others. A bunch have catch cups or juice wells, but this doesn't provide fail-safe insurance against leaks, which are usually caused by user error because of overzealous squonking (feeder terminology for squeezing the bottle to replenish juice in the atty/carto).

I don't know of any other metal bottom-feeders than the two aluminum REOs---Grand and Mini. Everything else is either plastic or wood.

In plastic, the cheap end is Old Goat and Missy's WetBox. Personally, I'd go with the WetBox in that choice, because I find the firing button placement of the Old Goats (at the bottom of the box) to be ergonomically awkward. Just my opinion, though. Like so many of the mod makers, Ron (Old Goat) has a large and devoted following.

If you can't snag a REO mini, I think you would be well-advised to reconsider a wood feeder, most especially Brian's Red Sky Scallywag (video is above in the thread). While there are many different wood bottom-feeder mods available now, the majority are rather large.

Brian's Scallywag is smaller than most (2.9" high, 2.4" wide, and .9" deep). It is also well thought out---sturdy, beautiful, and extremely well-made. That or a Monkeyboxx Mini (also small and very well made, with video above) might be just the ticket for 3.7 volt vaping happiness.

I don't own as many wooden feeders as AG does, but I do have 24 PVs total, and I use 18 of them, ten at my desk (I work at home) and eight more by my bed---each loaded with a different juice. Unlike some people, I don't have a single all-day vape. I prefer the variety of a different juice every couple minutes, so yes, most of my PVs get used every day.

I hope you'll be very happy with whatever you end up getting.

I use all of my boxes, but my go to has become the MB VV.
It costs a little more, but it's a vaping monster.

You can't go wrong with the REO, Sweetvapes, Ali'i or Red Sky Mods either.
In fact, the only wooden feeder I wouldn't recommend at this juncture is Southpaw.
He is re-working his design, so let's hope that changes.

As far as the plastic feeders go...
The Boge Revolution v2 is now available for pre-order...

thanks for the info. this is a very solid thread. i'm going to try and lurk the reo grand posting tomorrow and see if he finally uploads the promised 200 grands but i've actually been developing a fondness for boge and dual coil cartomizers almost pain free with an ego 650 pass through style battery so the original wetbox appeal-- i just could not stand the tedium of dripping anymore--has faded and my bad experiences with burnt, tasteless malfunctioning and short lived cartomizers is not such an issue. i like the ease of giving up on a boge that has lasted me 3-4 even 5 days ($1.66 down the drain hah!) in fact i have a new dual coil i opened last week ($2.33 a shot) that is still going strong and blows clear with no evidence of burnt juice or gunked coils after a week--granted it's been in rotation with another PV....but all that said the logic of getting a box with an off the shelf battery and automatic refills still seems to me to be the logical current resting point. The ego tank which looked good (and vaped well for a minute) was a leaky expensive short lived bummer.

These box mods are no bigger than a pack of cigs and i can certainly handle carrying it and 90% of the social situations i'm in are now ok with me vaping so i don't have to be super stealthy...i like the look of the boge and it's half the price of the grand and supports 10! ml.

not sure i want that much juice at hand--has anyone actually gotten one yet? this industry has given vaporware a whole new meaning.

Sure wish i actually could see stuff in action instead of having to lurk a forum--that said this is actually one of the most useful forums i have ever found on the internet

Hey guys. I have a couple quick questions that have been on my mind for a while. I want to buy a mod and I'm kinda sold on box mods because of what I've read here, and I know it's not the best thread to post the questions but I'm already subscribed and I'll be brief.

1. Are both the reo grand and reo mini 3.7v?

2. I'm assuming a bottom feeder is like dripping without the drops, so all you do is squeeze the bottle instead of dripping, or does it feed all by itself (talking about the reo specifically but general answers are fine.)

If there's a thread that answers these,feel free to link me to it, or PM me the answers, but I figured it's a good place to ask.

Rumor has it that TomB is working on a new Monkeyboxx VV. Code named King Kong, it is said to hold a 30ml juice bottle, use variable voltage with a built in meter, & utilize two of the largest IMR batteries currently produced. No word yet on the release date. More to come as details emerge!
