So I've been vaping on my MVP 2 which I love with my complete soul for what it's done for me(plus it was a gift), but I vape a lot and my sentimental attachment is making me want a new device so I can have something else to take to work and bang around and not feel so bad about putting it in my pocket with my box cutter and such.
Some people look at me like I'm crazy, but I've been using a Nimbus RDA on there for almost ever and would like to continue with another RDA/RBA/RDTA(?). Frankly I just enjoy rebuilding and having the full control over that aspect of my vaping, plus I'm a very technically minded individual so I enjoy building the coils and learning what makes more vapor etc.

I've just ordered two Nemesis clones, but I'm still looking to either order another device, make a Mod, andbuy a new tank.

A few things I've looked at (mostly all clones); Taifun GT, Little Boy RDA, Stillare RDA, Tobh v2.5, Magma, Black Russian, Tugboat, Omerta, Vulcan, Big Dripper*I like this a lot, Kayfun 3.1, Kayfun Lite, Plume Veil, Atomic RDA*Heard great things, Stillare Cartel V2 and v3, Mods - Chi You, Turtle Ship, Panzer Black Hawk, Aspire SubOhm, Manhattan Mod, stingray, 4nine, cloupor T6-8, Provari.

I don't have a strict "vape budget" but I'd also much rather have ten $30 mods than one $300 mod. I'm a huge fan of black mods and black RDAs. I don't like brass or copper really or SS in most cases but some mods I do. I'm interested in SubOhm builds so any input towards what would be best for that yet still sturdy with a decent finish that won't become one giant scratch after one day of work would be awesome. Thanks for bearing with me and reading this whole post!!!

I hear bad things about the panzer clones, but I'm sure that depends on what one you get (like most clones),
My silver 4nine clone with my kayfun lite plus v2(1.2??) is my stealth setup. I put 4nine in 18350, and use the short kayfun tank without a driptip. It's gotten pretty banged up over the last several months, but has held up well, voltage drop on it can be an issue if you want to build low in the subohm region. It's a great beater mod because the 4nine clone can be found for under $20.
You may want to look at the Reo mods for work... Just get a smaller one and accept that it is going to get banged up in your pocket or whatever... It's dripping made easy... I don't have to Cary a rag with me any more from my atty leaking, over dripping, juice dripping off dropper on way to atty, and such. I recently got a grand LP, and it's my go to mod for my adv. with 6mls of juice on board you can stray pretty far from your juice collection when you aren't chain vaping. However for over $100 it may be hard to accept it as a beater mod.
The iStick is a 20w mod (updated version pre orders are available, ships at the end of the month). Also cloupor made a mini 30w mod. I'm haven't seen any reviews for the cloupor mini, so hard to tell if it's any good. The T series seems to be hit and miss for a lot of users, so be sure and do your research whatever you get :)
I think there is an IPV mini out too.
The iStick and cloupor mini can be found for under $40 each.
With a 100+ watt mod you are likely looking at 2 18650s, so they are less pocket friendly, but they do make subohming super low much less necessary as they can boost the battery voltage to get the higher wattage, unlike a mechanical. They are also safer.

I hope that helps some :)

    It's not black but this has superb quality of build , native dual coil , good capacity and enough air flow to lung hit as well as excellent flavor , I can't go back to an atty with premade coils or heads , they're money pits . https://www.fasttech.com/products/1980900

    panzer black hawk clone with a black mutation x rda = freakin sweet

    but an aspire Atlantis tank on a 30 watt device provides an awesome consistent vape just not much tinkering involved

    The Panzer Black Hawk has been something I've wanted ever since I started vaping so I definitely am going to get that. The only downside it looks like for me to the aspire is that it uses coil heads, which I guess I technically could rebuild them like I do on my iclear30, but like Retic said, replaceable coil heads seem so expensive after buying enough kanthal for 300 coils for about 6 bucks lol

    Panzer mod though, that's a def.

    Sadly I've heard bad things about the black hawk panzer clones. I'm bidding on a 4nine mod on eBay now simply because they seem to be going fairly cheap. Ive been looking at the istick lately but it seems like it may be a bit fragile to be at work in a warehouse all day, however I've really wanted a T6 or T8 but the price kept me from getting one but I've found the cloupor mini for around $50 so that's probably gonna end up being the one unless I win one of these eBay auctions then I'll just grab one of these rebuild able dripping tank atomizers and whatever I win :)

    Side note, any of you guys have any experience with the OKR 10 mod diy kits? The chip itself is fairly cheap, could probably wind up with a 50w box mod for $20ish using some hardware I've got laying around
     
    I started with the mvp2 and the nautilus. Just made the switch to the Atlantis and their sub ohm battery. For me I think this is the complete setup. Only wish the tank held a little more juice. I have heard some good things about the eclipse by science of gaping that uses the same Atlantis coils. May check it out when it comes out this month
