I looked at the ECF search...and didn't have much luck. I am looking into getting another bottom feeder mod. I have the Vmod, and know about the REO and the Bogger Box...but surely there are other options? Can someone give me a few vendor suggestions for a nice bottom feeder? I'm not picky about what it's made of...metal or wood or whatever. I'm pretty gentle with my mods. I'd like one that holds at least 6ml and can use a 18650 battery...but again, I'm not that picky if it's a good bottom feeder. Appreciate any help and/or direction anyone can offer! (hope this doesn't get stuck in the Liquid Feed forum right away..where it'll probably get promptly lost...)

Just looking at options. And with hubby in the hospital, and having a bit of bad luck lately...guess I'm looking for a more economical option. $144 right out of the gate is a little steep for me, and I seem to have awful luck with my timing getting the blemished ones. I may end up with the Bogger Box, because it's a bit closer to a budget I can manage right now (I'll want extra bottles, repair kits or whatever too, you know. Plus things to put my juice into to vape! lol!). But I was hoping for some other options to at least look at. Be able to make a decision.

I'm doing okay. But things are falling apart 'round here.

Sometimes you can pick them up in the classifieds. Or post a wanted ad. I got really lucky and I did pick one up in the classifieds for a great price. I've had it for close to 2 years and it was used when I got it.

This was the first China Made bottom feeder --- and I found a place selling them for about $40.

Boge - Revolution V2.1 (BOGE REVOLUTION V2.1 best priced mod, personal vaporizing item, very strong and secure!)

It's comfy plastic, non replaceable battery, works best with carto's. Mine was a blast for about 6 months when it died an early death.

Phidias is still being produced. Nice hand friendly wood mod and models for over a year now now have the typical closed tube feeding system like most of the hand made feeders. They are also being wired so they are Kick Ready. It's still one of my favorite "at home" mods. It isn't low end, tho......most wood mods aren't.

If I were in the market for another wood feeder it would be a Phidias or a Bogger, though the foreign made Picolibri & Kazulinhomods could be tempting me.

After trying a bottom feeder, I knew that that was what I had been looking for. I knew that sooner or later I would end up with a Reo, after trying a couple and building a cheap one in a battery box. I haven't been sorry that I bought the Reo, although it did cause me a little grief at home ("You spent how much on a vaping thing?").

There are the blems and the classifieds to save a bit.

Since you already have a VMod, I would strongly recommend against the Boge Revolution. It works, but it's very cheap and flimsy.

I would dig through classifieds for used Reos. Rebuild kit is not really necessary for them if you're careful. Based on your experience with VMod, I'm sure you won't need to rebuild your Reo any time soon.

A huge way I found to cut vaping costs is with DIY juices. It's very simple, and saves me about $50/month.
