Ya know, in a few months (ugh) when my budget is balanced again, it is ALMOST tempting, with every thread I see this in. But I really don't want to drip. I want the best of BOTH worlds. I want the flavor of dripping but with a tank to feed the wicks, and the space to work in. AND i want it affordable. So...there, there's my problem...lol.


You've described the Reo' perfectly. Once the sub-ohm kits come in, you should see some of the older models appearing in the classi's.
Some have shown up already. Be ready . . . :D

Don't shoot me...but not a fan of the aesthetics:oops:

And it's bigger than my MVP2 which I'm in love with AND I see they have VV now, I did see it can use those skinny dripping cartomizers, but yeah the price point even in the classifieds would be killer for me. The VV is almost $200 >.< Though the purple is kinda pretty. That would have to wait at least 6 months.

Right on! Another convert! You won't regret it! :D

Just another tip or two DaBucs? Go on down to Michaels (the girl store) and pick up some Sugar and Cream cotton yarn, #4, for $1.99. Boil a good amount of length (don't do the whole skein at once) a couple times for 10 minutes a piece. Then dry it out and use that as your wick. I started doing that a few weeks ago and wondered why I was ever screwing around with regular cotton balls. It makes wicking/rewicking a breeze. Oh, and one last tip? Learn how to do twisted Kanthal. It's easy...a drill, an allen key and about 3' of 32 or 30 gauge Kanthal will give you a fantastic quality coil...it lasts a lot longer and it's less prone to breaking on install.

I already got a roll of peaches and cream from wally world.. is what I have been using with the PT coils :)

I don't boil yarn or cotton.

LOL Lex, a Reo and a RM2 :D

And Dabucs, you might as well give up now and save yourself the trouble. The Reo has the seal of approval from Superman himself.

Hi All,

So I currently just own basic vaping gear such as MVP v2, multiple mini protank 2's, and some basic ego batteries. I've heard of drippers SSRT, mods, etc. I'm not really familiar with how any of these work. Can you help out a newer vaper with some good recommendations on an upgrade I can have fun with. Looking to spend maybe $50 or under? Not sure if that is possible.

Thanks for the help in advance :)
gettin a decent vape with a MVP with a smok RDA (yes a smok RDA :p). Although its rebuild with cotton. Getting a pretty decent vape from it compared to a tank and it not that expensive to slam onto a MVP (and u can learn rebuilding with it too).

And never knew dripping tasted that good.. the creme brulee.. my god.

So I think I did good, 100 ft wire to start. Going to roll with cotton wicks, got a Patriot Dripper (Clone), and the gf got a Kraken RDA. Also like 4 different thread pieces. $30

Hopefully tomorrow I will start rebuilding my Kanger coils as practice and will move on to the other when they arrive from fastech (2-3 weeks). Appreciate all the advice, wish me luck!
