Bottom feeding is the best for me, got juice in bottle? Check. Got battery? Check. Ready to go. With my reo one bottle full and one 18650 is good for more than a day. Bottom feeders are the lazy mans mods.

How about for pocket storage is there anything to worry about? I keep all my mods in my pocket so i never want to worry bout leakage.

My Reo and Vmod's all go in the front pants pocket, jacket pocket, shirt pocket, well, any pocket, in any configuration, all the time. Have basically retired my Nova's and T3's as you have to be far more careful with them. I've turned into genny's at home, bottom feeders away person.

My Reo is now topped with a Hornet RBA so it is apocalypse proof.

I don't understand putting them in a pocket. How can you vape them if they're in a pocket?

I didn't say I put my Provari in my pocket. My hand is growing around it.

And once again, vapemail has arrived.

Today's additions to the obscenely large pile of stuff I use to vape my HHV stuff with include an iTaste MVP and and EA Mod, as well as the X-Tar WP6 II battery charger.

First off, the EA Mod. Yesterday I talked about how flimsy my Chi Chis were (now there's something I never thought I'd say in public)... well, the EA Mod isn't. It's definitely heavier and more solid. If I didn't have my GG's to compare it to directly, I'd be really impressed. It's a little rougher around the edges,and lacks the GGTS's air control, but I suspect I could beat a mugger unconscious with it and still vape until the cops showed up. And the finish of the thing matches my Odysseus clone pretty perfectly, giving it a nice, brushed, extra-clony continuity. The button, however, is a bit too small, and a bit too round, and I suspect long vaping sessions with it could get painful.

On to the iTaste MVP. Not the newest mod on the block, but what's not to like about a big ol' battery in a box with variable voltage? I can charge it with a USB cable, which'll be handy for work... but possibly even handier is the cable it comes with that lets you use it as an external battery for just about anything with a USB charging port. This thing could be a lifesaver for a guy like me who is constantly forgetting to charge his phone overnight. Oh, and you can vape with it.

The last delivery: The X-Tar WP6 II Li-Ion battery charger. It's a nice, big charger from probably the current second-most respected name in battery chargers, next to Pila. It can change six batteries simultaneously, which is nice when you've got a PV acquisition addiction hobby like mine, and often find yourself needing to revive multiple batteries within minutes of each other. The only real downside is that, while it can charge just about anything, it requires spacers to be used for shorter batteries. It comes with six of them, but some batteries require multiple spacers -- an 18500, for example, requires two of them, and four for an 18350. So, if you've got more than one 18350 to charge (and, unfortunately, those small ones need charging more often), you're not going to have enough spacers. I may need to see if they can be bought separately.

They're available separately from almost every vendor I've seen that carries X-Tar chargers. RTD and Super-T both have them and are both forum suppliers.

Weird how you need four to charge an 18350 though. I have a WP2 II and only need two to charge a 16340, don't need any to charge an 18490/14500. It's a somewhat loose fit, but they don't lose contact and I'd have to knock it off the table for them to fall out.

It's funny, and maybe this is why some folks have a bunch of different devices. TH and Vapor are very noticeably better with every juice I have, but only some of them have noticeably better taste. I'll probably never vape Heavenly Tobacco in a Nova again, it just pops on this Did-a-like. I finally see what people mean when they say Novas "mute the flavor". But it's not all of them, a lot of my juices taste pretty much the same in it.

Novas definitely mute the flavor but I find once the wick is broken in the muting is minimal.

GT, my LT is eligible for 6-foot under. :(

Upon further review, the problem is the threads. They're boogered and don't allow a solid connection. I got a couple bad Vivi's and I think that's what destroyed the threads. That Tropical Vapors recommends using a 510 to 510 adapter. I may consider that though it will look dopey. But then it will match my persona. :)
