Hello everyone!I think it`s time to change my setup and I want yours opinion.I was using an Istick30w with Aspire Nautilus mini BVC(perfect setup,I recommend everyone) and I want something powerfull.I`m thinking to buy Herakles Plus by Sense or smok TFV4,but I heard that Herakles is one of the best clearo and the best one for flavor,let me know your opinion if you tried one.
The battery...I`m going to chose between Istick TC100W,Cuboid or smok X Cube II(or if you know a better mod than these...).I want to found wich is the best setup with the components I mentioned above.If there is somebody who use these,tell me your opinion.

All these I am going to buy from gearbest.Have somebody bought from them?
P.S. I saw that 18650 batteries are not included,wich model recommend(Panasonic,LG,Samsung etc.)?
Thanks for reading my all"story" and I appreciate your answers! :)

Hi Don. I would recommend the Wismec Reuleaux RX 200 mod. It is a 3 18650 battery mod which allows high wattage vape, or gives plenty of mah for long lasting battery life. It is also very ergonomic and comfortable to hold.

I also have the TFV4 and it is a juice hungry tank. I run either the triple coils or the double Clapton, and prefer the dual rba over the single.

Recently I got a Uwell Crown and am really enjoying the .25 double coils. Currently I have vaped 70 plus ml on the one coil.

Gearbest has had quite a few negative reviews and unreliable shipping issues. I prefer www.fasttech.com (look for the word "authentic" as "style" is a clone). You might also look into www.HeavensGifts.com as I have enjoyed excellent services from them as well.

For batteries my favorite is the LG HG2 (3000 mah), Samsung 25r's (2500 mah), and Sony VCT4's (2100 mah). You can read about battery safety and recommendations here:

A separate battery charger is highly recommended, like a Nitecore or Xtar.

Enjoy the journey.

I have The TFV4, two TFV4 mini's, and a Herakles Plus. Personally, I prefer the TFV4, not only the vape, but all the coil options it has.

I am not familiar with the mods you listed and will just say I think a lot depends on what you want for looks, feel, battery life, and how you want to vape. Right now I am really liking the titanium coil on the TFV4, which requires a temp control mod. I am using the Lavabox DNA200. Whatever you like for a mod, temp control might be a plus for you. But don't misunderstand, other coils work really nicely with the TFV..

And Nutz has your information as far as batteries.

I would stray away from the Herakles Plus as it leaks A TON. If i were you, id check out any iPV products, specifically the D3 or the iPV 5. Pair them with a SMOK TFV4 and your set for a while and together, your still well under 100$. iSticks tend to be finicky and often malfunction. I will also +1 the Reuleaux RX200, only downside is the need for 3 paired batteries

I have loved my three Nautilus Minis and will go on using them off and on until they die or break...but I wanted a bit more juice capacity and so I bought myself a full size Nautilus - the one with the metal lattice tank for out and about and also a Triton 2.

Both to my mind are superb.

The Nauti with its bigger tank and greater airflow does produce both more vapour and more taste using the same excellent coils as the Mini without being a juice guzzler.

The Triton 2 can do sub ohm as well as "normal" coils and, as an extra, a rebuilding kit can be had. There is even more airflow than with the big Nauti available and oddly enough that wider bore tip does extract flavour as well as taste.

To my own mind again the Triton 2 just edges ahead although it is that bit heavier on juice though not excessively so.

Hi there. I also recommend the RX200 as a mod that will do anything mods will do, and at the right price. The TFV4 is well thought of and I would suggest it as well, You do know that's going be be a change like drinking from a straw to a fire hose, right?

Excellent choices here as 4 of my friends at work have this.

Now as for the small in stature part:

Also a recommendation on tanks: Get one you can use as an RBA as well. Pretty soon you will get tired of buying coils and start making your own. Trust me once you get the hang of making your own you will be happy.

They'd be a natural step up from the nautilus mini.

To my own mind again the Triton 2 just edges ahead although it is that bit heavier on juice though not excessively so.

I like the Triton 2 also for ease of use. You have to follow directions carefully the first time you fire it up, but its inexpensive, has great options for use and I've never had one drop of a leak - and I'm very rough on my gear. I have three of them, plus a Triton mini.

The flavor isn't as good as an RTA (IMO) but they are well built, versatile, dependable and an all-around sturdy atty with very good flavor.
