Always great to hear from a happy Vaper! I've been vaping 14 months now and almost every setup has been perfect until a more perfect one came along. My current 'perfect' is a Mini Istick 10 watt topped with a Lemo 5ml RTA built to 1.3 ohm pushing 3.3 volts.:)

Like beauty, perfect vape is in the eye of the beholder. My perfect is the smallest lightest setup I can put together and drop in my shirt pocket. I have 2 eleaf Icare 650 mah on the way. Hoping they become my next perfect setup. Congrats on finding yours.

Hah, I thought I found my perfect setup when I bought my Sigelei 150w using a Freemax Starre on he 0.2 ohm coil. Then found coil building and RTA's, then dripping, now I'm back and forth between an avocado and a limitless rdta plus. This is also 3 mech mods and 4 regs after the sigelei 150. I'm a terrible shopper for this stuff. Hope you have more power than I do! Congrats on finding your perfect setup though, no matter how long or little it lasts.

You never know, you may have actually found what you're happy with. I found my perfect set up about three years ago, and haven't had the desire for anything else since. Reo, I do switch around different RDA's, but the mod stays the same. Can't stop buying them though! Always something :w00t:

I'm the same. I chased around for the 'latest and greatest' for over 3 years, until I got my first REO and bottom feed atty a little over 2 years ago. Now it's all I use. I have several; REO Grands, P67s, Woodvils. I may use a variety of bottom feed attys, but they're always on a REO.

The longest my "perfect setups" have lasted is about 3 years, which isn't too bad considering I've been vaping for 5 years. My vaping preferences have changed over the years, from a mouth-to-lung standard-ohm low-wattage vaper to a direct-to-lung sub-ohm 30 watt vaper.

2012 setup: Provari with cartotank (2.0 ohm carto at 4 volts)

2016 setup: RX200 regulated mod with uWell Crown tank (0.25ohm at 30 watts) or a mech mod with Velocity clone RDA (0.6 ohm)

For some vapers, vaping becomes a hobby and you may decide to become a collector of vape gear. I was smart to do a lot of research for gear that fit my vaping preferences and buy appropriately; I also worked in a vape shop for a year and was able to experience a wide variety of gear.

Enjoy it while it lasts, your eye will inevitably wander

For 99.9999% of vapers, this is true ;)
The next new shiney is always starring back at ya, "when are you going to buy me?!"

Everybody has to take a journey and find what they like. Its like your 20's trying liquor, you dont just buy vodka and only drink that type for the rest of your life :p


My preferences have slightly changed over the years, but where its at now is probbably its last stop.

Ego/protanks with airflow slightly drilled, to kayfuns with air drilled out(still not enough airflow that i wanted), to its final stop the orchid with air drilled and juice channels bored into wick slots coupled with a slamcap. I have no need for another atomizer. Batteries, sure lol. Any simple 22mm unregulated output mod will suffice. :)


To the OP, love it while you can :)

Maybe I am the black sheep in the vaping family as I have yet to find one (1) perfect vape. But I have found 3 so far and use each daily, depending on the time. My perfect vape for much of the morning is some Reds in an Atlantis or Coffee Cake in a subtank from 28-32 watts. Afternoons I get to go a bit crazy depending on how I feel. It may be a TFV4 or an RTA around 72-84 watts or a TFV8 or dripper from 120 to 138 watts, or any combination thereof. But in the evening until bedtime, it is back to an Atlantis filled with some German Chocolate at 30 watts.
