**** SEE EDIT AT BOTTOM****
So after getting more and more into vaping everyday I've noticed that like many other hobbies this practice can be a huge money sink.
With high quality materials and super machined parts authentic mods and RDA's can run you hundreds of bucks.8-o A worthy investment and not something that a lot of us can just throw around. So I'm proposing that we all post some good Mech Mod / RDA / Battery (and charger what the hell) Combos for 100$ or under. I wish I would have had something like this to refer to when I started out. It could have saved me a bunch of cash. Remember these are just suggestions and a way to get us poor to semi-poor newbies headed in the right direction.
I'll put in my two cents to start. Get a Kamry K100+ or a K101. These mods are pretty sturdy. I've beat the crap out of mine already and it still kicks and functions fine. It telescopes nice for when I'm using smaller battery like the 18350's and hides right in my fist. It fits an 18650 with a kick just fine and you can also buy a small extender if you wish to use a VV kick too. I got the mod and the charger, a kick, and a zipper case along with a 18650 and 18350 (both of which the guy suggested I throw away. Apparently the batteries from Kamry could be better. But I've been using them anyway and they seem fine.
I wouldn't use them to sub-ohm though.) for around 45$
As for the RDA I picked up a cheap nimbus for 15$. A three post RDA which works good for the price. You might want to drill the holes in the cap a little bigger depending on your vape style though. The only drawback I can find with this RDA is the wire holes on the posts are rather small so if you are trying to use twisted coils or parallels you probably wont be able to unless you have means of drilling the post side holes. I didn't risk trying since it was the only RDA I had at the time. I might try this weekend though.
So for around 70-75$ you can get a good starter set and still have some cash left over for some juice and some Kanthal
Again.. I'm new to all of thus but I'm simply trying to add what I've learned so far. I'm sure the comments to follow will have plenty of good info for you all as well!
Keep your heads in those clouds!
*****EDIT: I guess I should have been more specific originally but my main point for posting this was leaning more to MECHANICAL MODS and starting out with those. This isn't necessarily a thread for people looking to START vaping period in which case I wouldn't recommend going with a MECH until you've become comfortable with OHMs law and working with coils as well as battery safety. Again this thread should be for starter MECH MOD SETUPS. Thank you.******
