Help, Describe My Next Symptom.

It's true.
I'm afflicted, and I really don't know what to expect next, because I suspect that while not unique, the progression of my affliction may not be following the most common pattern.

It started about a month ago. Back then, I was a content smoker, whose only real complaint with smoking was the costs. Sure, I knew it was bad, sure I had loved ones that wanted me to quit, and I had tried a few methods to do so with limited success.

And then I contracted Vaperitis. I caught it from a friend who had caught it about a month before I did, so I didn't go thru the symptoms he did, when I got it, I jumped straight to where he was in it's progression.

It started for me, not with some smaller starter mod, but a slightly larger starter Vision 2, and no Clearos, or EVODs, straight to the Mini pro 3. Bought some 18mg 50/50 fluids.

Next, in anticipation of quitting smoking CIGARETTES, I purchased an itaste 3 VV, and put a Aero Mini on that.

Bought Vapor Chef juices, bought Sejuiced juices, bought pure vegetable glycerin.

Bought 5 ECTO T9 tanks to put the flavors in.

Just ordered 2 USB passthroughs

SO, ... what is the next symptom of my affliction? A MVP 2 with a full size nautilus? A VTR? An IVP 5 with a kayfun? An R2D2 sized mechanical mod that plays the Star Wars theme?

Help!

I have to know what to expect.


tl;dr version - What should I get next?

Simplify your life son and get a Provari with the Nautilus (full size or mini) with the new Bottom Vertical coil, and enjoy a great vape-simpler life!!

While I'm tempted, my wallet says it isn't quite ready to be [moderated] by the expense of a Provari. What's the next best thing?

You can get a Provari Blem for less money directly from www.provape.com

For example I bought my 1st one at full retail, then a week later I got my 2nd one as a blem for $130 with free shipping.

I have had the lesser VV devices and nothing compares. What I did was keep buying new things when I should have just bought the best to begin with!

Darn, I didn't get here fast enough. I was going to forwarn you that the first three pages on your thread will be filled with two mobs of people battling gladiator style over whether you should be getting a REO or a PROVARI. And when the dust settles...you will most likely find a MVP, or VTR online fairly cheaply, maybe a nice mechanical tube and some sort of RDA after of course playing with the ever wonderful Nautilus. You will enjoy one, or more, or some of these things untill you reach a point where you are pleased, but wondering what there is thats better than you will reach the point I am at where you are sitting in the middle of the battlefield and deciding on which of these devices your going to go ahead and spend a bunch of money on...(for what it is worth, I want a REO)

While I appreciate this, why are people so willing to say what mod, yet just crypticly say "RDA" instaead of being more specific. I mean seriously, It's a lot easier to get a handle on the Mods than the RDAs.

Which RDA? Please elaborate.

RDA's really come down to personal preference in all honesty. Personally I started with a kayfun 3.1 as my first rebuildable tank system, for a dripper I had a patriot first and I normally suggest this to my friends, people I encounter simply because it is 1-cheap, 2-user friendly, 3-well built...I can go on and on. for very little money its a great dripper and very easy to build on. For tank systems thats a little harder for me to give a good opinion, I loved the kf3.1 at first, but a few builds later i really lost interest in it. I have since used the Ithica which when I am actually able to successfully build the stupid thing, works pretty well. I can't for the life of me be successful with the kracken or prometheous. I did like the Nimbus for a while. I dont know man, that one is really subjective.

Hey The Cloud Minder, I am sure so many here can relate to what you are talking about here. I started out buying different things but then I started using a reo grand and I can honestly say that "my" search is over. I can't imagine my vaping getting any better. It is nice to find where you are the happiest so I wish you luck in finding your happy place. Happy vaping to you. :)

I have both a Vamo and a Provari. Different juices taste better on each.
I have an itaste SVD that has an amazing floating pin, but 3 buttons. If I don't lock in the wattage, then I end up increasing or decreasing from thinking the wrong button is the firing button
I have a couple of very nice SIDs. But the connector is aluminum and can strip easily.
I have a drawtube (mechanical) that vapes fantastic... When the fire button works.
I have several e-pipes that look fantastic... Vape is ok, but not great.
I have a SMOK Guardian e-pipe that vapes fantastically! ...but only takes small batteries.
I have 15 different atomizer devices... Currently using the Davide.

No device or atomizer is perfect.

To the OP : you have a condition known as shinititis. You must be careful that it does not become full blown nervanaica. Nervanaica is the condition of seeking the perfect vaping nervana and never being satisfied. Find what works for you and stick with it despite any internal or external voices. Try something new occasionally, and you will then only have to worry about being infected with the warm-and-fuzzies.
:D
Hope this helped!

I'd say a ProVari blem if it was me or the Mrs. In fact, I got her a blem dragon....

But I also understand the need to be affordable. An MVP2 will be reliable and long lasting and set you back only 40 bucks. Plus you can charge it via USB pass through and even use it to boost your cell phone in times of need.

As for toppers, I'm partial to protanks and aerotanks. I like the Mrs' nautilus' too. I may eventually try a cartotank, because I keep looking at Baditude's blog post and they intrigue me. I have a Kayfun Lite clone (EHPro) and it's just meh.

To the op asking about RDA's if you plan on going the reo route (which if you can tell.... I support very much ;) ) you should get the Reomizer 2 or RM2 for short RDA. As in my picture it has a ceramic deck with a hole in it and from there the juice comes in and out. The reo is a fantastic mod and yes I am willing to fight the provari's gladiator style ;)
