Which one would you pick if you couldnt have both?

Yikes. Scary proposition because I use both daily.

Probably my Provari, only because I can use any kind of tank or dripper on it. Some juices are better in different toppers. I need variety in my world. If I only got to keep one device period, it would be my magneto clone.

Please, no one make me actually choose, I'm sweating just thinking about it.

That's what I'm talking about. I also like the variable voltage, resistance checker, battery checker... I don't want to be stuck with only bottom fed devices. Heck, one day, I'll probably get both just to see... but in the future, I'll be lucky to get a Provari... but that's what I want first.

Not the answer I thought youd give, lol. I have 5 gennies, 1 protank, and one carto tank that sit around not bein used at all now, lol. To heck w variety, I want dependability, no oxidation, and to be able to put the damned thing in my pocket/car w/o a mess. Until the reo, I couldnt have all these things. The vmod was close, but the reo is so much more well made than the vmod...

Are you talking about in general or just from Ahlusion? I, personally, have found very few that I like FOOB. Most of mine take at least a week to develop. Alice in Vapeland takes 1-3 (the 3 is the tobacco, so I don't really hold it against it and it's my favorite one) The only one I like straight up is Honey Peary and only in certain devices. Tried putting it into my protank today and it disappeared. (flavor wise, not from vaping it. lol)
I'm talking in general. I don't mind a 1-2 week steep, up to 3, but after that, I'm getting annoyed. Plenty of great stuff out there that I don't have to monkey around with so much.

You can get a vv reo, and after you find your perfect-for-you coil build, you'll hardly test them anymore... I test mine with a multimeter since my junky ecig ohmmeter broke. I only do it one time though, right after i install it, and thats a formality at this point. The sam wire wrapped the same number of times around the same diameter wick is likely gonna be the same every time. Microcoils make it more necessary to test because of shorts, but I'm not into cotton so I dont mess with them.

Vaping tonight, three tanks running

1) Eve's Delight (Highbrow) with a splash of Coval: Dreams...I always have this tank loaded...it is my go to when all else fails. I use Dreams in the Eve's to extend my Eve's . They blend so well together and I cant vape Dreams solo.

2) Figian Nights (Ahlusion)

3) Caramel Kong (Tetra)

For all those things listed, you could get an MVP for a lot less money. It has the added benefit of variable wattage. It has it's downside, being eventually basically disposable, but is really an awesome device for less than I paid for an ego starter kit a year ago. I have one and use it quite a bit. It's sitting beside me right now with a carto tank on it.

A couple of the juices I've tried only get better with sitting in a tank. Kind of like rapid steeping. I don't use big tanks for anything I don't think I will vape in a couple of days (usually).

Part of it could be that I've had the others longer so they are more comfortable for me. Ask again in a couple weeks.

If I had to choose one thing to vape forever it would be Eve's Delight...but without variety I would soon start smoking again. Its not just about changing one addiction for another. Its about being so happy with variety that you ignore the cravings of those f upped chemicals that were in the nasties!!! If I had only one flavor I would be unwrapping a new pack (you know the sound) as I type.

Checked out ocd mods on the google... Pretty snazzy powder coating, lol. Way better than a $13 sticker. Do you know how much he charges?


The "about me" section on his FB gives estimates. I remember thinking it seemed reasonable when I saw something he did that I liked.

I feel you but I've DIY'd my own flavors and sometimes that's just how long it takes. Especially high VG. If you've ever worked with high VG... it's a bi t c h. Just to get any flavor whatsoever is a task, steeping or not. I personally gave up on that. I had enough problems mixing 50/50 but at least I tasted those.
The problem with vendors that presteep is that stuff can be sitting around forever... and depending on who you get that from, there's a thing called reverse steeping... which may have been what happened to both my 5 Pawns and Namber Juice... Both were months old before I even got them... and both lacked in flavor. Not sure if the sitting around was the issue or something else but both pretty much sucked.

People love those things. B&M I went to today had dozens of them in different colors. Reo's have ruined me for all other devices, lol. But I do see the batt indicator as a good thing.. I sometimes change batts too early when my coil is just weak and in need of a swap. That'd also mean that reo needed wires, and negates waterproof aspect.

I have Dreams here but haven't tried it. I still have awful memories of Queenside and can't even think about an orange cream vape. How come you can't vape it alone?

Battery lasts forever and you can charge it on a cell phone charger if need be. Can also swap around the cord and use it to charge your cell phone. Pretty versatile device, consistent performance. Mine also has a skull on it which gives extra points in my book. I had 2 of them but sold one. My mod/pv collection is getting out of hand. I lost count if how many I have here, plus I think 2 more I've ordered and a couple out on loan to new vapers.
