After doing a lot of reading I think I decided for the mod I'm getting the IPV v2 (50watts, changeable battery for under $100)
And for tank I'm getting a EhPro Kayfun lite v2 clone (Easy to rebuild)

I was thinking kayfun type as well and then i started reading about the Lemo. Check it out if you haven't pulled the trigger already.

One of the sites has them for 33 but they are out of stock. waiting on one of them.

have you thought about the sigelei 50watt? it's smaller. 10% off with twisted420;free shipping for that, too.

I got my 100 watt from them with reddit10 coupon. Ordered on a wednesday night (late), and it was here monday. I would highly recommend spending the extra 25 the mod and another 18650 will cost you for the extra 50 watts. You may never use it but if you get a 50watt you won't even have the chance.

Man am I so glad I didn't place an order right away haha. I think this may be the biggest conundrum I've ever had ordering stuff online but every time I think I found the perfect setup for my me and my budget someone brings something new to the table I think will suit me even better.

I'm definitely looking at that Sigelei now.
And I think I'm going to get a Eleaf Lemo instead of the Kayfun clone because of the glass tank...

But now I'm going to hold my breath because someone may well recommend something else I like more before I need to exhale anyway haha.
Thanks for all the help and recommendations. I've learned so much in the last couple days and I'm 100% sure any of these setups I've been considering in my later posts I'll be more happy with than the setups I was considering in my earlier less informed posts.

Eleaf Lemo rebuildable atomizer they have both the lemo and the sigelei for as cheap as I have seen it. If you live in CA the tax adds a bit of cost but still super affordable. Word of caution I have not ordered anything from them so I can't comment on service or ship time. But at about $35 for the lemo I think I am going to sleep on it and then order.

I have both a Kayfun and a Lemo. Both are the same build.

The Kayfun, since it (usually) has both a stainless mid-tank and a plastic one, is more durable. However, Kayfuns are quirky and are prone to leak through the air hole.

The Lemo has a glass tank so you don't have to worry what juice you put in it, but since it is glass you need to be careful with it. Lemo's do not leak.

Kayfuns have good adjustable airflow. Lemo's have much better adjustable airflow.

Either one is a good choice. Personally, I prefer the Lemo.
 
I co-sign on the Eleaf IStick & Mini Nautilus combo. My IStick can last 2 full days with out charging and it has a pass though so you can vape and charge. I like that it's smaller than the MVP.

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. :)
You will notice better flavor and more vapor with an any Aerotank using the Kanger enclosed dual coils. I have purchased over a dozen other tanks, and loved my Mini Protank 2.5, until the Aerotanks blew it out of the water:)

I'm a noob myself who's been almost exclusively vaping Mt Baker. I am on a budget. I've found the more flavor shots the longer you need to steep. Most of the MBV liquids I've tried are best at the 4 wk or longer point. I too was skeptical about steeping but am 100% convinced it is necessary now. There are vendors who pre steep but not a lot. My wife had a bottle of Five Pawns Castle Long Reserve... Awesome pre steeped juice, but over $1 per ml. At that price we are spending as much as when we smoked. But if price is no concern, I highly recommend that one.
Try ITC VAPES. They just reduced their prices to compete with MBV, and many people love them.

I couldn't agree more. Before I got into RBAs, I used Aerotank Mini's and Mega's.....and never had any issues with them, as well as good flavor and vapor. :thumb:

So do you think you're headed towards lights (fruit/desserts/teas) or darks (maple, coffee, naturally extracted tobaccos, chocolate)? Don't forget to continue drinking lots of water too as a lack thereof can give you vaper's tongue where much seems meh.

Since I began vaping I have always used mount baker as they are recommended a lot and their prices are good..

But I just got back into vaping after a break and went right to mount baker vapor and ordered their best selling juice "Hawk Sauce" and got as many flavor shots as I could (5) and I'm not impressed at all, there's definitely a very subtle fruityish/berry/menthol flavor like people say, and it's smooth and enjoyable enough to vape as in it doesn't taste bad, but it's not even enough flavor to keep me interested, I wish it were 50 times stronger.

I don't know if steeping would make that big a different in INTENSIFYING the flavor would it? I hear the longer you steep this juice the more menthol and less fruity and I'd prefer more fruity.. It could be my taste buds too from just getting off cigarettes again.

But anyhow, in a few days I'm thinking of ordering from a different vendor, I don't even care how expensive it is as long as I'm blown away by it.. I'd still be saving money if it kept me vaping rather than if I went back to smoking.

So any suggestions you have I'd appreciate, thanks. :) :2cool:

I bought juice from MBV when I first started vaping and I purchased a good amount of juice from them, but it took only a few weeks for me to move on to other brand juice and now I just mix my own. I mix mostly organic flavoring/extracts but do purchase some pre-mixed juice on occasion (for example from Viper Vape, EcigExpress, High Desert Vapes). Too many other brands/vendors to mention and so many factors/options to consider.

You certainly can't go wrong with that hardware. I've been seriously enjoying my Kayfun Lite Plus v2 over the past couple of months...it's a beast. I have an Orchid v3 on its way...I considered a Lemo but I wanted my 2nd RBA to have a smaller tank so I chose the Orchid v3.

My Kanger ProTank and Mini ProTanks are in my daily rotation as well...I've basically converted all [6] of them to AeroTank-style tanks by adding an airflow control v2 to each of them, and I also build my own coils since the stock coils offer lesser performance/flavor.

Have fun in your quest for the perfect vape!

I want to order so bad haha.. But I'm waiting for a wired payment to go through to my bank account, I can't until then. Hopefully it goes through today!

I keep changing my mind on what I want, but once I make the order I'm just going to have to suck it up and deal with it.

Right now I have a Cloupor T6 100watt, Sony 26650 VT 50A battery and a Eleaf Lemo in my shopping cart waiting patiently to click the checkout button. :closedeyes:
I looked at ITC vapes too, I have a few of their juices in my shopping cart too, the prices look good! Going to give the Lemon Bar Custard and Dragon Dew a try. :D

Well I think I may want to head down all roads, why limit myself to one genre of taste? :D
So far I have only tried sweet/fruit juices, but I'm interested in trying a tobacco, nut, chocolate, bourbon..etc. type of mix too. Maybe it will be my new love, maybe I will hate it, I just don't know what to expect.

Currently my favorite juices are custards, cremes, vanillas--all flavors I didn't think I would like before trying them and profiles I hate in terms of real life foods.

Try as many different flavors as you can.
