Building a mod is a great way to save cost....plus you get to decide exactly what you want it to be like.

If you don't have the patience (like me!), invest in a Reo. They're extremely well built and the fact that they are bottom-fed devices means that you don't have to ever worry about dripping or cartridges again.

The larger Reos use the 18650 batt, while the mini uses the 14500.

The only downside with them is that demand greatly outweighs supply at the moment :( When Rob (the creator) makes a batch, they tend to sell out extremely quickly.....in a matter of minutes in some cases.

I've been using mine for the past 6 months and it's the only thing I use. IMO, bottom feeding an atty produces the best results in terms of draw, flavor and vapor production. You get all the advantages of dripping, without the hassle.

Hi Vikings. Took a look at the Reo Mini. Looks like a great mod. I'm waaaayyyy too untechnical and lazy to attempt building one myself, so this is starting to look pretty good. Thanks.

Now I gotta find some place locally that sells chargers and 14500 batteries to feed it.

Battery, Batteries, Rechargeable Battery, Lithium Battery, Cell Batteries on Sale - DealExtreme

Here's a really good place to get chargers and batteries. They ship via regular mail for free. Only problem is that they're in China and will be closed until the 7th of Feb cos of the CNY break.

Great website. Was hoping to get some locally somewhere in the Klang Valley, as it would be nice to be able to just go out and get some if I happen to need more in the future. It would be bad if my batteries failed and I need to wait a week for more to arrive from China. Hahahaha.......(Nicotine Withdrawal....suck suck)

Check lelong.com - I believe there's a guy there selling AWs....they're pricier than the typical Trustfires and Ultrafires, but are supposed to be much more reliable and perform better.

Word of advice - buy more than you need! I've had batteries suddenly just die on me for no reason. Also make sure you pick up an extra charger. They're all made in China at the moment and are pretty flimsy.

Great advice, Vikings. Thanks bunches. I found the Lelong seller, quite convenient for me as I live within 15 minutes drive from their shop. A bit more expensive compared to what I can find online, but is well worth it for the local support and convenience. And....can't beat having a local seller with 14500, 18650 and other assorted batts from both trustfire and AW in stock. I'll make sure to stay away from the unprotected ones. Cheers.

Can you order the Provari from Provape or the Ali'i from rnrmanufacturing in Malaysia, they are rated 2 of the best in the world.

JWebb....I've found that some of the US e-cig makers do not deliver to Malaysia, due to some list online somewhere that says that Malaysia has banned e-cigs, which is an error. However, most of them are willing to ships to Malaysia once we provide proof that only the juice is regulated. I know of at least 2 Malaysians who has a Provari. Provape initially didn't ship to Malaysia, but after one of these guys communicated with them, they did.

The Ali'i is a bit unknown here. Some of the vapers I've shown pics of the Ali'i to commented that it looks huge...haha. Personally, I don't mind the size, as I've got a GGTS with UFS on order and waiting for the shipment.

Hopes this answers your question. BTW, I heard from some friends in St. Louis that is snowed over the weekend. That's kinda unusual, in March?
