I would skip all the cig-a-like stuff and prefilled cartos that I was duped into buying. Let's see that should double my $300.00 limit right off. I would buy some of what I have now. 2 650 twists, 2 1300 spinners. 2 protanks. I would also get rid of all my plastic top wicked clearos and go to high quality all glass bottom feeding clearos with a good supply of replacement heads in various ohms. The remainder of my money? Juice, Juice and more Juice! Oops... I am probably back in the hole again..... ;-)~

I normally would not either. :2cool:

Ok, cheap bare-bones backup APV:

Smoktech Gripper $16. Extension tube for the Gripper $4 to be able to put a tank on it. 18350 battery $6.

A back-up PV is important. There are two approaches to picking a back-up.

1. A better back-up unit that will provide vapor as a good as or nearly as good as the primary PV. This will cost more but may be a smarter choice.

2. The compact spare tire approach. Something that costs less and doesn't perform as well as the primary but can get you by in an emergency.

A provari for when I'm hanging out.
An Ego twist for when I'm on the go.
Some Smoktech LR cartos
A Pyrex tank
2x 306 attys for taste testing and juice shopping
2x 19490 batteries + charger
carto punch, drip tips, and a tank tool
And a couple of juices so I don't get bored.

I'm still a newbie, and haven't tried RBAs yet, but this is what I wish I would have did.

    IMO if you can't use your backup PV for a hammer, and have it still work, it isn't a reliable backup.
    Mine fell out of a duck blind, and spent a week at the bottom of Ogden Bay ...... still works like a champ.

    Here I was thinking you were one of the sharpest peep at this site, bro.

    And you're payin $80 for a Pila charger + 2 batts?
    :p

    A Sysmax Nitecore Intellicharger i4 V2 I can source for $20-25 and I'd take it straight up over a Pila.

    I would spend $97.70 using CPASTE13SPRING coupon code for $51.42 2 V2 VAMOs, 2 Nitecore chargers and 4 Panasonic batteries.

    Then I would buy an AMP Tank and an HH.357 dripping atomizer for 141.98.

    I would spend the remaining $60 on Bee's Knees and Mad Monkey from Vapor Beast and Black Pomagrante Tea and Caramel Coffee from Ahlusion. After that I would save up as fast as possible for a second AMP Tank and HH.357. Nothing I have in the way of juice delivery devices, including RBAs and RDAs comes close in in delivering the same taste and performance.

    let's all cut to the chase.
    in the journey of vaping, i'm sure many of you have upgraded, and upgraded, and even downgraded, and then upgraded.
    from tanks, batteries, to mechs, to attys, there is lot of things you've learned to this point.

    so let's say you are to start fresh now and you have $300, what will you get?

    list the whole setup (perhaps even a juice or two) to create a perfect kit for you


    A Blu starter kit

    $100 worth of pre filled cartos

    $100 worth of lanyards


    LOL, really though, I don't even know. I'm still in the ill advised purchase phase of vaping. :vapor:
