Hi all. It's been a long time since I was last here. I've been cig-free for a year now, and have been mostly happy using my Joye eGO, but it's just not cutting it for me much anymore.

Battery life is ok. It would be nice if I could find something that lasted a full day on a charge, though.

Carts: I hate them. I hate modding them. Big pain in the ....

Dripping is great, but my eGOs leak inside the cone, and it's just messy.


I'd love to find something that hits harder than an eGO, more flavor, more vapor... just more everything. Is there anything new out that you guys think I would enjoy more? Preferably not insanely overpriced for a guy on a little bit of a budget?

Thanks. Now to go and try to catch up on everything I've been missing. Ugh.

You might want to try the Royal Smoker ceramic cartomizers Rev 4. They are about $10-$12 per pack of 5 and are easily refillable with a $3 syringe. The refill process, once you do it once or twice is about as easy as filling a cart. They hold enough liquid that two can last you a day. Taste and vapor are very good.

The only way out is to consider one of the "bottom or self" feed mods like the REO, Phidias, Ali'i, or Integrity - all of which you can quickly research by doing a search here on the forum. These mods represent the truly hassle free way to vape. I have one of the Integrity mods, 4 of the REOs, and two Phidias mods, and would never consider any other PV. They are a little more expensive than some of the other mods, but they are all really well designed & constructed, and should provide you with years of service.

I had a buddy of mine that tried those, and told me they have to be modded in order to work right. Is that still the case? I really don't want to have to go from modding carts to modding cartos. I'd rather just keep dripping if that's the case.

I've seen a little about the REO and Phidias mods... but who makes the Integrity?

I gotta admit, the whole juice feeder thing is really appealing to me.

I agree with Banjo, any of the bottom fed juice mods will fix your Issues.
Thanks banjo for posting a complete list of the best out there.

The quality control was iffy when they first came out but to my knowledge they are much better now. I've used two out of my pack and first one was not what I expected. The second was much better. That was about 2 months ago. The mods are removing and trimming a silicone ring that can put pressure on the wicking and limit juice transfer to the cup and atty coil, and disassembling the carto to replace or extend the wicking, which may be curled. Both are easy mods if you search out the pictures and videos here on the forum. The factory is aware of the issues and stock should be depleted by now to the point where good units are being shipped by dealers.

Most of the time I use a Joye type B Cylinder atty. It's called the Monster atty at Electronic Cigarettes, Eliquid by Awesome Vapor. About $12 and it's the best taste and vapor I've experienced. I didn't mention it at first because you said you were tired of filling carts. The Monster holds about 2.5ml of juice and I fill it once a day, twice on a heavy vape day.
