getting the bottom feeder rba like kayfun and taifun would save you money by skipping a few upgrading purchases which at the end will lead you to the two eventually. i expect to get my taifun gt clone tomorrow and maybe next payday i will buy a kayfun lite plus, one of the clone of course. but i don't regret playing with my gennies, as they gave me a good learning curve on building coils and wick setup. plus they are fun playing with. if you like to venture into gennies, look for those with reduced top cap chamber design for maximizing flavor.
