Hello,
I've been vaping for about 6 years. Started with the Dragon M401, then had the Chuck, and for the past 3-4 years have had the Prodigy V3. I think it is about time for my wife and I to get new rigs. Since I have not even looked at what is on the market in the past 3-4 years needless to say my head is spinning. We want ones with tanks as we are a little worn out with dripping though we use cartos and don't direct drip per say. We're looking for something on the cheaper end of the spectrum say hopefully $120 and under. We are used to vaping at 6 volts using 2 RCR123A 900mah 3.0v batteries.

So with what's available now, any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :D

Edit: Oh I thought I'd mention that one of the main reasons we got the V3s was due to the mechanical button as we had issues with the button on the chuck(though we loved them) going out pretty often or the soldering on the wires inside coming undone.

If you like the flavor of dripping but want a tank on board take a long look at the REO. It basically carries a 6 mL bottle on board you just squeeze to send juice up into your dripping atty. You can use standard 510 dripping attys or I use the rebuildable RM2 with mine. It is my 90% of the time vape. THe REO Grand is a mech and the man that makes them is terrific with customer service. The thing is built to last years.

Had to look some of those up, but they appear to be mechs. So, I would suggest AltSmoke's Silver Bullet M which is a bit higher than your budget but American made. Another popular one is the Nemesis. The hCigar clone version is nicely made and I don't know the price on it as I won mine from a vape shop.

If you want something totally different and has long battery life, look at the MPV 2. The cheapest(Ithink) is 101vape.com. Has an internal 2600mah battery, and can adjust the vv or the vw. Under $40.00. worth a look anyway.
Also, ebay has them for about the same price with shipping included. Just make sure if looking at ebay, that the shipper is in the US and has a good rating. Vapingtown has good products on ebay and I have bought several times from them. Always as advertised and really quick shipping.
Let me know if you want me to post a link for ya.

Thank you all for the responses so far. I did take a good look at those mentioned above. Talked to the wife about them and showed them to her, but she is against the REO and other box shaped rigs because "They look like a breathalyzer" :p To be honest I wouldn't be opposed to a Pen style with a tank, though I'm sure unless it was a VV it would be 3.7v. In that regard are there any that are well known to be solid builds and not known for shorts/buttons breaking or the like?
