I landed on two devices that work quite well for me- My Provari toped with an IGO-L; which doesn't leave my house. I drip with this to try new liquids, experiment, etc. I use My Reo bottom feeder topped with a modded A-7 when at work, or am out and around, because it's so easy to travel with... "filler up and forget it".

Liquids: not much cost savings for me over analogs because I'm always trying something new

I have the igoL but canned it. Felt like I was always fighting with the air hole alignment. Switched to the cyclone from viscious ant. Was pricier but they look nice and are extremely well made. I too am very pleased with the provari. Only reason I'd get a mechanical is to play in that sub ohm range. But I'm not certain it would be worth the hassle. From what I've read going to 28 gauge kanthal and using a few more wraps creates an unreal vape even at my usual 1.5ohms. Those reo mods get great reviews. Im sure I'd like them. I just cant get past how they look. Lol. Here's what that cyclone looks like.

Although I LOVE my bottom feeding, mechanical Reo, your thoughts are correct... no need to play with sub-ohm coils. Micro coils (small diameter coils- utilizing additional wraps) provide additional surface area for juice to come into contact with-and the results are HUGE. Sub-ohm coils are far over-rated and... with so many "first time rebuilders" out there these days, these are a recipe for disaster. I can wrap 32 ga kanthal micro coils that would knock one's socks off- even at 1.5 ohm! When vaping some of micro 1.2-1.5 coils on Provari, I literally have to turn the volts down to 3.3 for it to be a comfortable vape

Shipping from mom and pops is unreal. I literally got my email shipping notice after it was already here. Ordered 60 more mls of haze on Friday. Here on Monday! Got some callipiter chow too. I can get into that one as well. Like rice krispy treats.

Mom & Pops are just the best! Two if the nicest people in the business- period. No one, and I mean no one I have met so far delivers the customer service they do. I've take a break from TA liquids for a while, but they are like family to me.

Can you tell me about your thoughts on caterpillar chew? Does it have a decent throat hit? Flavor- what's it taste like?

I just got a 30ml of CC. I had a 10ml that I'm pretty sure I finished before it finished steeping. Fresh out of my 10ml sample I got what tasted like a combo of graham or animal cracker combined with a chicken in a biskit cracker taste. I know, weird huh? After two or three days it tasted like maybe an apricot bread pudding but I've been told there's no fruit in the ingredients. :confused: After a few more days it tasted more or less like a 'fresh out of the oven' snickerdoodle cookie, warm sweet oven vapor included. That taste was so appealing to me I think I may have finished my 10ml before the steeping completed. Anywho, it was good enough to warrant a purchase of a 30ml.:2cool: Oh yeah TH/VP, I'm a taste man sorry. Mild to moderate TH, pretty substantial VP so the mix is probably near 50/50. Oh and to make guessing the ingredients worse I've also been told none of the ingredients of a traditional snickerdoodle cookie are included in CC. All I can say is it's definitely a bakery type flavor, but not too sweet, and I like it.

Yeah throat hit is great. Not quite as much as pchelas 5 layer or haze but still good. To me is very marshmallow tasting. Sweet kind of light buttery vanilla flavor. Honestly tastes like the individually wrapped kelloggs rice krispy treats. Have had some bavarian cream vapes before that it kind of resembles.

OOOoh, I have Pchela's 5 Layer in my wishlist. I'm curious about its taste? And while I'm at it, any experience with Pchela's Poison and/or YUM!? Thanks.

P5L tastes like chocolate butterscotch to me. It's good. Haven't had the others.
