Thanks a lot for the suggestions. They're actually running an 8% discount today so I think I'll order it.

BTW, while browsing the link you provided, the SMOKtech DRUNKER rba caught my eye. Any thoughts about it?

I bought a drunker a long time ago but I haven't ever used it

Woot! kayfun Lite Plus came today. Built a 28g 11 wrap microcoil on a 1/16" drill bit, used some cotton ball as a wick. Came out to 1.3 - 1.4 ohms. Playing with the variable air flow is fun.

Only running 3.4 volts and it is hitting unbelievably good. Not any improvement to me going up to 3.6v and at 3.8v the cotton isn't wicking fast enough. Breaking it in with N.E.T Black Cherry (sampling). I think this device will be destined for Huntsman though.

You all weren't kidding about these kayfun things. :vapor:

Bronze it was grilled into my head from the start AW IMR Batteries only..so that's what I use.

That's what I thought. Those are unprotected batteries. X provided the science behind it all and I can't recall what he said.

I go the easy route. There is a link at REOS Mods for batteries that takes you to RTD Vapor. I'm told the owner is a fellow REONaut so if it's good enough for his own REOS, and is approved by Rob..... and they are AW IMR Batteries. Protected or not, they are recommended.

The IMR batteries use a new technology and safe chemistry - they will not flame out or explode if over charged. They are designed to expel gas. Being safe chemistry they do not need the protection jazz the older style used.

ProVapes now also give written notice with new purchases to use IMR batts only.

Hello guys. Bronze suggested I get a Big Bully from GotVapes as my first RBA. Unfortunately, it's out of stock right now. Does anyone know if I can purchase it from another vendor or if there are comparable alternatives out there?

I also have a question for those who use clearomizers. My preferred ones right now are the T4's and Phoenix BC's. What others ones are popular around here?

I will appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance.

Hey Voltron, how's it going? Besides the Protank that Bronze mentions, the Aspire and iSmoka I hear are doing well too. Both are bottom coil, however I haven't heard anyone rebuilding the atty's on these yet. If you go that route, ProTanks (regular or mini) might be a better deal. They're about as easy to rebuild as the Novas are.

HHV carries the iSmoka: Tanks and Clearomizers : Heathers Heavenly Vapes, Top Quality Custom E-Liquids

Hears a link to Aspire: Aspire BDC eGo Clearomizer

    I got two EVODS from GoodEJuice yesterday really liking them although Im changing out the 1.8ohm heads for some 2.2ohm. PBusardo makes it look easy to recoil them although I ordered some replacement heads lol

    I don't think it would be that hard to do that just made it look alot easier with the closeup of his camera in his review of the EVOD BCC

    I don't know anything about it Volt. Sorry.

    If you need help on the microcoil build, just ask. There is plenty of knowledge here. It's not hard.

    Glad you like it Bap. KFL is the best juice burner I ever owned. And on so many levels too.

    Already have some ready lol. Do they require signature on delivery?

    You know, I can't remember. There were some who said it did require a signature but I don't recall signing for it. Come to think of it, they allowed me to post a signed note on my door telling them where to put it. If you follow tracking, they might give you instructions.

    I ordered my Lite Plus from Vaperev. No sig required on delivery.

    I am noticing that cotton ball wicks don't feed as efficiently as silicon or whatever it is that everything else uses. It is sure easy to build with though. I think I'll try cotton gauze next.

    I've used both cotton and silica in my KFL but have stuck with silica. That said, I am in the minority. Most people prefer cotton.
