Man, I was not expecting these many replies haha, a lot of good information here and also debates ping ponging around in my head.. But I know one thing, my next paycheck is only going to last a minute.

I didn't know that more shots equaled maybe even more steeping time, seems like a contradiction but I'm convinced now and in the last couple days I've had this hawk sauce I've been shaking it around and it seems to have already darkened in color and the flavor is a little more pronounced.But I'm thinking I'm going to try the Five Pawns sampler pack next as far as juices though just to give myself a little treat for getting off cigs again and I will let those badgirls steep while I vape on this hawk sauce and I'm sure I'll be in for a treat. :D

I also appreciate the information about the itaste 3.0, I guess I'll look into some cheaper mods maybe, I'm looking at the Vamo v3 or v5, Zmac telescope, MVP and a couple others...

Then as far as the tank goes, I'm still debating between the nautilus or aerotank (Leaning towards the nautilus now) but now one of you mentioned RBA/RDAs.. I didn't know what that meant so I googled it and a whole page showed up of fine looking tank and that you can rebuild the wicks easy is attractive.. But isn't the nautilus and aerotank rebuildable too? Or do RBA/RDA's just make them even easier to do so?

Man oh man, welp I have a couple days to figure this all out before I place my grand supreme order. :D

I mean you could rebuild an aerotank or Nautilus but if you were going to do that just get a Kayfun style tank. RDAs are different than the tank that you have. You don't fill it up. You just drip as needed. But the flavor and vapor production is far superior. Also you don't need to buy replacement prefab coils. You make your own. It's a lot cheaper.

Save your money and get a mech mod and an RDA. You're going to want one eventually anyways. Trust me brooooooo lol.

Thanks for the heads up about the MVP deal mndh1007.


ZombieZ, as I cannot afford to get more than one good mod/tank at the moment would there be any benefit to getting a mech mod over say a MVP?
Or would a MVP best suit me? I may want a RDA at some point, but I take my e-cig on the go everywhere and not going to carry e-juice around in my pocket too and stop to drip, I'd rather just take it out and press a button and vape some mad clouds, but I'd like to use it at home too. I want it to be my everywhere vape set-up.
But those Kayfun style tanks look interesting but I'd be more interested in RBA than RDA, so I'm deciding between either a nautilus or a RBA styled kayfun tank. I'm not sure if I like that iclear on that MVP kit as much.

Thanks again for the help. :)

Also the I clear 30 Bs a big upgrade from the usual tanks that come with the MVP

Yeah I think I might just go with the MVP. It's in my price budget and I'm not sure if I'm ready to get into mechanical mods and stuff quite yet. Just want simple and reliable with good performance and from what I read about it, it would be a upgrade from my evod battery I'm using now. (My spinner 2 just quit working today, I think it may have been a fake)

That MVP kit you posted, so I don't need to buy batteries/charger separately like most mods from the looks of it? It just comes with a charger cord and you plug it into your computer to charge and you're good to go? If so I like the sounds of that too. :)

I would definitely not suggest a magna as your first RDA. Either a tugboat, stillare or tobh atty. All very easy to build on and great flavor.

Eventually your MVP will die. With a mech mod only your battery can die then you just buy a battery for like $8. I had an MVP and it was cool but I consider my mech mod a huge upgrade.

I caution you... because you say that you want to be "blown away."

I'd set my goals a little lower... "blown away" isn't really something I think ejuice is capable of doing...

I say this because I'd hate to see you join the never ending quest that so many of us are already on.


With that said, I think you can find some really good vendors... we all have opinions...
If you want tobacco juices... I suggest reading the NET threads...

The juice companies that I have been the happiest with lately include: TBD Liquids, Atonement, Adirondack, Grizzly/steam monkey, and fo rthe the more price conscious... I like ITC Vapes... there is a thread titled: Premium without the price tag that you should look at...

as great as the Magma is... I totally agree... it's really best for dual coils and it is a bit wonky.

for a first, I suggest the Atomic, Trident or crown... for single builds.... stillare for twin coils...

my opinion.

You could get a vaporshark, seigeli or hana/cana type VW Mod... these work very nice with RDAS and RBAS and they have some nice protection built in...

You could push a single coil build on a 20 watt device...

but I'd suggest at least a 30watt device...

here's three vaporsharks




I get some really nice production out of these... you won't WIN any cloud chasing competitions with these kinds of set ups, but you can certainly find extreme enjoyment - and fog up a room if you want...

The smaller Vaporshark doesn't push the magma too well with the set up I have... but the smaller... Vicious Ant atty is a great fit for it...

Truthfully, I am currently loving my hana/cana best.

Haha, just when I thought I've almost made up my mind...

Those RBA's you guys recommended, they look nice but is there any reason most of those don't have glass tanks where you can see how much liquid you have left in there? Do you have to open them to see how much you have left?

I just looked up that vaporshark too and it looks beautiful, but a little bit out of my budget at $189.99. :(
The Sigelei is a bit closer to my range.

RDAs don't hold much juice. When you take the cap off an RDA is just exposed wick and coil. You simply drip your juice of choice on, close the cap back and vape. Some RDAs hold more juice than others but you're looking at an average of 10 or 15 puffs before you need to add more juice.

LOL yeah I mean a magma isn't complicated but It's not good for a first timer.

I was looking at a similar set-up the other day.. I'm thinking of upgrading my set-up too. I was looking at the itaste VV because of the LCD and the price, and was thinking of upgrading my protank to either a nautilus or kanger aerotank.
Do you think I'd see a big difference from my current set-up? (Protank 1 with a Vision Spinner VV)

Thanks. :)

i'd use these batteries as you're next step up, the iStick:

Eleaf iStick 20W Kit - $39.95 - WORLDofVAPE

mini nautiluses will work fine on them:

Aspire Nautilus Mini - $24.95 - WORLDofVAPE

i use the bigger naughties on them, but folks think they look odd. i don't care.

ITC is priced like MBV and the quality is pretty darn good:

ITCVapes Premium US Made e-Liquid

beserker and spoonlicker OG are really good.
