mods and "regular" e-cigs

[hgilbert57]

Hello all! I'm new to this forum but I have some questions that I'm curious about...

1. I've been just exploring the types of regulars and I wanted to know if there is one that is comparable to a mod
2. I have the reva mod and I really do love it. At the same time, I quit smoking over 4 years ago and this is my 'indulgence' item b/c I really did like to smoke while watching movies and so on... Now I have found this whole new world of flavors and gadgets and it's all so confusing b/c there is so much going on with the mods. (I think I have a mod?)

Anyway, I was wondering, and I know this is more of an opinion from everyone, but I wanted to explore and learn about the different types of e-cigs and mods that are as close to the real thing as possible.

I am also interested in aesthetics in that, there is this huge 350$ thingy that would never be for me. I like the smaller varieties any suggestions on companies or types of mods or even regular e-cigs that are good?
thanks so much!

Seriously, I been off cigs for 6 months now and I don't even remember how cigs feel like. I have smoked cigs during the 6 months but in total would be 3 sticks. I do know I no long have the desire to try it again. I started out with inferno from volcano e cigs, then a month ago I made a 3.7 box mod and that blew me away. A week after that I tried making a VV bod mod and once I got that one working, let me tell ya set the thing at 5.3 volts use a 2.8ohm atty, bam! Nice. I vape all vg and I get a consistent TH with this set up. I thought 3.7V with 1.5 ohm was nice but now my back up is a 3.7box mod and the back up for that is 4 infernos. I waiting on my order to come in and In a week, I will have 2 VV mods and will have enough supplies to build another. That reminds me I need to go buy some paint to paint my mod.

You mean you have Riva?

KR808D-1 (sold in fancier colors at Vapor4Life) - KR808D models are the only slim ecigs that are a full 3.7 volts, the same voltage as a 3.7v mod. but other than that, no. KR8 does not have the same threading as Riva 510 but the KR8 threading is the same as Riva 901 (but with different air flow requiring an adapter sometimes).

Other than that one voltage equivalence, no. Slim ecigs can never use low resistance attys or cartos nor can they use the fast chargers of fat battery models because slim ecigs never have 450mah+ batteries. Slim ecigs have shorter battery life and use standard resistance attys and cartos.

Hi Hgilbert: I have been vaping for 8 months now and I am very satisfied with V4L cig type pvs. Go to the Vapor 4 Life website--they have several Kr808-1 set ups available. Their pvs provide great flavor and throat hit. I have both the manual xl and the automatic xl. Both are terrific--and their cartos are some of the best you will find. I think these will satisfy you very well if you want a cigarette shaped pv. I vape a fat batt also, but keep going back to these quite often.

Different "mods" were created for the following different reasons...

--Bigger batteries that go much longer before needing to be recharged
--Bigger and/or multiple batteries to provide the ability to vape at higher voltages
--The ability to use non-proprietary batteries to reduce vaping costs
--Incorporating some kind of automatic juice-feeding system

They are by necessity always bigger than the cigarette-sized devices for the above reasons.

I would not consider the Riva to be a "mod" because it has proprietary batteries.
It does have bigger batteries though, so they do last longer between charges.

A mod isn't a standard ecig, mods are mainly just devices to support overall easier vaping or atleast more convenient for most

Performance wise I find the dual coil carto superior to analogs.
Many analog simulators don't support the high current drain of dual coil.
I'm really liking my jazz cartopipe.
Strong liquids can be satisfying w/o inhale.
Typical liquids can be inhaled of course.
Looks nice in public.
Can vape long time w/o changing batt or adding liquid.

If I had to choose one PV the cartopipe is the one.

If I had to choose one analog simulator I would choose a 1.7-2.5 ohm 306 atty and direct drip.

Thank you all for your insight and wonderful advice. I have really been curious about all of this simply b/c this was my one guilty pleasure and after quitting I put on some extra pounds b/c of being a night time smoker. I am going to check some of these out!

Again thank you so much for your advice and insight!

Okay, I've decided to try out the tank cartridge thingy before I throw in the towel on my riva. Sorry for the misspelling before; this is all new and the flavors are so much fun! (so much better than smoking!). What I do like about the riva is first the design and I would hate to pay for a product that I'm not happy with-esp. b/c it's for enjoyment purposes... So I ordered the cartomizers from totally wicked and am going to see how that works out. The one thing I don't like is constantly having to fill the cartridges on the riva and I've noticed that they don't last long before having to refill them. However I like the design of the riva and given that I have small hands, even the riva is a bit daunting. I have had the opportunity to try the 'gg' and while it truly was amazing, it was just far too large for my hands--the gg is huge, but b/c of its performance, I've been trying and researching the maker to see if they make anything smaller and less daunting to use....

thank you alll again,
Heather

Heather, if you want a mod that you don't have to worry about refilling and makes vaping easier than smoking, get a REO Mini. Just a bit larger than a zippo. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...urements-parts-terminology-8.html#post3092444
