Na, I'm the idiot, got money tied up in high end gear that will last me a lifetime and provide kick ... vape. Gave away and sold every thing that wasn't at least 20 watt capable. See to die for rba's that cost two bills and don't think twice about clicking buy now. It's a sad story often seen here at the ecf. But I do have some awesome gear that provide a damn fine vape. lmao.

Vape is a progressive disorder hobby, the more you vape the more you blow, or something like that. lol.

Vape long and Prosper!!!!

I haven't gone for the large bill set-ups...hard to afford that on a fixed income. I think the most I've spent on a power source was $19.99 for a Vision Spinner.

My favorite ADV so far is an eGo Mega 2200mAh with an iClear 16. It's simple, cheap, and easy to maintain. It's short enough to easily fit in my pocket, and big enough in diameter to feel substantial and durable.

However...for an wonderful, enveloping vape while sitting in my chair, I'll grab my Spinner with an Aspire BDC. It gives a great, warm, and fulfilling vape each and everytime.

I did lust over the iTaste 134, but only for looks. It looks so damned cool...but not $100 or more cool. I think my next purchase will be the MPV, and then I'll be done for awhile, other than juice.

I own a couple different PV's and drippers and every day before work I grab my Vision spinner and a couple PT mini's and off to work.

They are small, perform well and produce a good vape.

There is a tool for every job and these little guys will probably always be in that tool box.

If it works for you and you enjoy the vape that's really all that matters. And unlike some of us you are really saving money and not spending it on a collection of different PV's and toppers.

Well I didn't spend a fortune on the stuff I've got now, and it all works - aside from a couple of clearos that aren't worth the weight of the air their displace. As for the more expensive stuff I've tried, it was on loan to me.

I don't use half of the stuff I have, but it's not wasted money: I consider it my stockpile for the upcoming Great Vaping Crunch that I fear will happen sooner or later, when governments and regulators come down on us for good, and/or the current chaos in the marketplace consolidates and only a few big manufacturers and distributors remain. And I'm looking at increasing my stockpile even more before any of that happens... That'll keep the mailman busy for a while yet :)

So, I now have a sizeable collection of mods, batteries, clearos, RBAs, RDAs and whatnot. And of course, I have a lot of liquids of different kinds too. But for some reason, I keep gravitating back to fixed voltage cheap eGo batteries and cheap Evod and iClear 30 clearos because, well, the more expensive stuff just don't seem to work much better for me.

For some very thick juices, some of the equipment I have works better than ordinary stuff, to avoid dry hits. Other than that, eGos and cheap-... clearos are mighty fine. So much so that I keep buying more to sprinkle them all over the place, which just seems easier than carrying a single mod with me and caring for it.

I have an eVic at home. I like it in a geeky sort of way. But to be honest, it's much faffing about for no real advantage.

A friend of mine lent me his Provari. Meh... What it's got over a $10 battery - aside from machining and finish quality obviously - I'll never know. To each his own, but at that price, I can have 15 disposable batteries that seem to vape just as well, for a given topper.

One of my colleagues at work keeps complaining about burnt taste with this-or-that atomizer, keeps changing atties or switching clearos. But whenever I try his setup, the vape tastes perfectly fine to me.

I've tried all manners of coils and wicks on my AGA-T. Yeah, it's fun and everything, but, well... it vapes, at the end of the day.

The bottom feeder I've recently bought... Yep, that definitely does it for tricky juices that don't want to wick up ordinary clearos. With other juices though, it's just extra work for no benefit.

So it seems I'm not "getting it". Is there something wrong with me? I feel as if I'm unable to experienced the difference in vape quality that other vapers seem to rave about with more expensive or exotic equipment. I'm perfectly happy with the stuff I use - and in fact, probably happier with the cheaper stuff I use - but every advanced vaper I know in my area seems to think I'm missing out on some magical vaping experience that's above and beyond what I know and enjoy already.

If you are satisfied and you cannot tell a significant difference, then there is no need to try to get more advanced vape gear. Save your money for more fruitful uses. Some people have better eyesight or hearing than others. The same goes for the sense of taste.

When I am at work or running errands around town, I prefer my little 400mAh ego and a Protank 2 with my own rebuilt heads. They do the trick to keep me off of stinkies. But, vaping is now a hobby for me. When I am at home, I much prefer the taste and performance of Kayfun style atties and more powerful mods. For an extra special treat, I drip with an RDA on a mech.

To each his own. If you are satisfied with your vape and staying off of cigarettes, there is no right or wrong way to vape.

how long are you getting between charges with the vv/vw twists?
I started out at nine, put it away for an hour at the gym and an hour at Mass, just ran out of power. So, right around seven hours, I think my VAMO has me spoiled. If I remember right, most twists were good for half a day.
