Like I said reasonable, been around awhile to stand the test of time..

Looking for a box mod that will hold juice IN the mod. I like the refined look of one that doesn't have a big atty on top, easy to throw in my purse..

I was wondering what options there are out there that are reliable and reasonably priced. Thanks!! :D

I have to say I have fallen in love with reos. They do cost more but what you are getting is something that you could pass down to your grandchildren. They are that well built and dependable. I am very rough on my stuff and they are darn near indestructible for even someone like me. If mine gets dirty, you just take out the battery and give it a good wash in the kitchen sink. They are just real simple and easy to use. I suppose what I have enjoyed the most are the people that use reos. They are just the best. There is a reo grand and a reo mini. Both sizes goes well in my pocket, purse or bra for that matter. Here is a size comparison for you so you can get some idea. Not a great pic but you can tell.

I could literally talk about reos for hours but you get the idea. It just all depends on what you want. I love box mods and used a mvp2 a long time ago and there were very dependable and easy. There are so many choices out there for us. Good luck to you and I'm sure you will find just what you are looking for.

If you do have any questions about a reo, just pop in the reo lounge and someone can answer it in a jiffy.

While the eGrip is nice it's also a one trick pony. You either like the attys or the one rebuildable option for it - or you don't. It's also electronic so how far it will last... It's too new in the marketplace for the longevity reports to be coming in. Ditto when it comes to the life span of the internal, non replaceable battery.

So there's that. And it will set you back 70 bucks, or about 95 bucks if you add the rebuildable atty complete.

But if you want something market proven - that would be a Reo. It's going to cost more than double the eGrip for a complete Reo with an RDA on top - but it's indestructible and you only buy it once. Period. The atty doesn't have to be huge to be effective either. The RM2 atty is only about 16 mm diameter and no taller than the drip tip on on eGrip.

Comparing the two, one thing to bear in mind is that the eGrip is bizarrely heavy for it's size - it weighs nearly twice as much as a fully loaded Reo Grand.

You is verified so watch the classifieds. Reos do show up and some times good deals can be had.

billet box is the one ive had my eye on for a while. originals are super expensive and sparse, but there are clones out there now. only downside i see of them is you have to use cartomizers, or get some kind of hard to find special made adaptor for it so you can use replaceable coil heads. I hate cartomizers, and I couldnt find a place to order the adaptor piece which is why i havent gotten one yet.

My fav. fav. fav. way to vape is definitely a mech. mod with a dripper. ...but it's getting silly expensive. With a .5 ohm coil on a mech. I've been blazing through around 15ml of high end juice a day.

I want to cut down but I personally haven't had the best luck with tank attys. I considered a Vapor Shark and maybe a Nautilus or something, but, like you, I just don't care for the look. Plus, as also seems to be your interest, the combo just cannot be very durable. The only real answer I found is the Billet Box (billetboxvapors.com). Mine should be delivered tomorrow! Mine will be like the pic below, but it's not my pic. The color is "RPG" for Royal Purple Grey.

I've seen these, they are nice looking but price tag too high for us right now... still trying to find where I fit in, ya know? I've tried a few different types... the beginner, eGo sticks, then the Eleaf 20V (returned, it malfunctioned on me too many times) now vaping on a Kamry 101 and it's good, but too futzy.... so saw the Innokin iTaste MVP 20 Watt on sale today for $38 and have been eyeballing it, yes..would prefer juice INSIDE but maybe down the line. The 20V is MORE than enough for me, read tons of reviews and feel good about it. Let's just hope I'm good with it. I'm a very picky gadget girl, lol! So, should get this week and really cannot wait to try something new!! I just need to find my "comfort zone"... will check back when I get it, in the meantime you guys have given me some wonderful options for the future, when finances aren't what they are!!! Thanks everyone!!

WOW they are beauties, aren't they! I love the 60's vibe they have, and very luxurious! Beauties for sure!

Hey does oldgoat still make....the old goat?

$25 bottom-feed box mod. I have one sitting around here somewhere.

Last time I saw him was on the modder accessories supplier subforum here.

There's a name I haven't heard in ages. No - he just disappeared from the scene without explanation well over two years ago.

I just read a million posts in a thread, about him making the bottomfeeders.... Would be fun to try.... so really he just disappeared after his parents took ill? I can really relate about his Mom and Alzheimer's/dementia, yesterday was my Mom's 2 year anniversary of her passing and her Alzheimer's/dementia came on real fast and strong. I had a mental breakdown yesterday over the guilt and helplessness I felt when she literally fell face down and never left the hospital. I know what that feels like having no control over what a person remembers or recalls, then they are gone. His post made me cry, I've been there. I had to do it all by myself, since my x-brother wouldn't help me and my Husband at all. There is a tremendous amount of guilt that comes with it too. Sorry to vent, but this wonderful man that I've never met or spoke to captured my heart. I hope he is okay and taking care of himself...most importantly. If there have been any updates, could someone let me know, please? IF he is still making mods, I'd love to try one. But, one's sanity and well being is most important. Broke my heart. xo
