Please help find MOD, I love Ego-T LR and don't like cartos

[dmj4]

I have spent hours searching this site trying to decide on a MOD. I hate to keep asking questions of your good people, but I just can't settle on a MOD.

I love the Ego-T with Low Resistance attys and type B tanks, but it has been a little unreliable for me. I want something that I will be able to use without cartos and have at least as much taste as the LR atty on my Ego-T. Because I hear so many people say that the Ego-T loses flavor, maybe that means that the low resistance is the part of this set-up that suits me best, along with using juice without a carto.

I tried an unidentified cartomizer on my Ego-T and I didn't like it.
I have a Go-Go with the Go-Go cartomizers (not LR) and I don't like them.

I would also like to try VV, I think.

I am not ditching my Ego-T LR, but I want something I can grab that doesn't leak and gives consistent vaping. My Ego-T works best when the tank is almost empty.

1. Price is not too much of a factor for a good PV.
2. I want to use LR atty's.
3. Really good battery life with LR attys.
4. juice fed and not just for cartos
5. VV or variable watts would be great to see if there is a sweet spot for me

I'm not one that loves to tinker.

Thank you so much! If I can get the right one, I can go on with my life. LOL!!!!!!!!!

LR is used to simulate higher voltage vaping. If you're going to go to a VV or higher volt mod there is no reason to use an LR atty at anything above 3.7ish volts or you'll burn them out or burn your juice, or both.

If you want to stick with your LR atty's then stick with a 3.7 mod and it sounds like a bottom feeder would suit you best. The cheapest ones are plastic box mods and work just as good as the more expensive ones but aren't as durable because they are plastic so if you go with one of those treat it with a little care and try not to drop it. Madvapes carries those and also look for Oldgoat in the suppliers section, he makes them, will customize to your specs for a really good price.

If you want to go with something a little more durable the Rio is about as durable as it gets. It's a metal bottom feeding box mod. There are also wood bottom feeders like the Grip and Ali and Redsky which are great choices, they will cost you more than the plastic ones though. Info on these and others can be found in the suppliers section also.

I would ultimately recommend going vv which many bottom feeders are available in vv also. You'll quickly find you can find the same sweet spot you have with your LR using a higher ohm atty at higher volts and with the range being completely customizable you don't have to worry about what ohm atty you're using with it.

Thank you for explaining the LR and how it is used to simulate higher voltage while using a lower voltage device.

It seems that I now just need to focus on VV. I may even find other aweet spots with different juices.

Is the a VV one that uses juice feeder system that most people seem to like and that is available. I looked at Reo's, but they are not VV.

Thank You

Lots of people like variable voltage, but it is really only about wattage unless you are talking regulated variable voltage. You can get different watts either by using different voltage with one atomizer (variable voltage) or using different atomizers with one battery set up (3.7v with 1.5ohm, 1.8ohm or 2.0ohm attys)

The Rio doesn't come in vv but it's the only metal bottom feeder I'm aware of, great choice if you're not looking for VV. The only bottom feeders I'm aware of that are available in VV is the Grip from Sweetvapes, Ali'i and Mark V from Redsky. Their may be more though.

mlinky is correct it's all about the wattage, that's what vv does, allows one to select a range of voltages/wattage using the same battery configuration and it stay at that voltage until the batteries or regulator can't supply it anymore then it's time to recharge. Their is one mod...Darwin, that selects the wattage instead of voltage but it's the same thing in the end result.

Glv3. Metal bottom feeder or top feeder and u can get 5v regulated

 

[ancient puffer]

Just FYI, REOs come in wooden versions as well. The larger of the two sizes also allows you to stack batteries for 5v (I think that's right, if not, a Reonaut will come along and correct me ). My experience has been that flavors "come alive" at 5v, but I mostly vape at 3.7v with a 2.0Ω 901 atty.

ETA: I don't like the taste from carts or cartos, a bottom feeder is as close as you can get to direct dripping, and without carrying around bottles, tissues, etc.

 

[dmj4]

So, a 3.7 Reo with a LR atty would be similar to my Ego-T LR in taste and vapor?

I have been looking a some reviews and it seems that some of the mods that don't have a juice bottle have some form of tank that screws onto it and hold juice.

I definitely want an easy way to fill and it does need to hold juice one way or another. it would surprise me if there is a carto out there that I really like.

Provari, does not have juice feed. I am going to look at Darwins and even Eclipses. The Eclipse looks like it will be great, but it may be more of a toy than I need. I'm not meaning to using the word "toy" in a bad way.

Also, I want to find something I can get rather quickly. I have almost killed my Ego charger and my batteries may even be getting weaker or it's just the charger(s) not functioning correctly.

A REO 3.7 with LR atty would be a big improvement over the Ego-T LR, the tanks always seem to mute the flavor (to me anyway), the REO doesn't. And you get loads of vapor. The "grand" holds 6ml of juice and uses an 18650 battery. The "mini" uses 14500 battery and holds 3ml of juice. Filling is just screwing in the bottle. You *can* use cartos if you want, but I don't, don't need them, just a drip tip in your atty. BTW, they're all mechanical, no electronics to die on you.

Jump over the REO Forum and read up on it, and/or ask questions, they love to help you out, whether you have one already or are just thinking about getting one.

 

[Nomoreash]

There are tank mods you can get to use with about any pv like the storm tank etc. They use a modified cartomizer, usually a ce2 or clearmizer and hold more juice.

A 3.7 mod is unregulated, unlike the Ego and the Ego isn't true 3.7 output although it's advertised that way, it's actually more like 3.3v. You will get a stronger hit with a true 3.7 battery mod especially fresh off the charger when they are 4.2v or slightly under and then drop off.

The Provari and other vv tube mods are great choices I just thought you were leaning more to the juice feeders from number 4 in your original post.

 

[5cardstud]

There's only one answer. Go with the best, The Buzz Pro. You can vape anything with it. I personally was getting 18hr. vaping time on the Buzz Pro between charges. It gives you every volt from 3 to 5.5 and stays where you set it. Plus customer service is second to none and you don't need to get a second mortgage to buy one. I wouldn't use anything else.

+1 I agree 100%.....

I can tell you from experience that a REO is a great choice. I went from a ego-t type B directly to a Reo grand and mini. It IS basically a highly improved ego-t with better taste, TH, vapor, and amount of juice that it can hold. Although, there are some flavors that only an ego-t type b can bring out IMO. Which is why I still use it from time to time along with some of my other mods.

The bottle or "tank" holds 3ml (mini) or 6ml (grand). Also have the choice of using LR atomizers (Love 1.5 and 2.0 cisco 306's on it). On the grand, you can use anywhere from 3.7 - 7 volts depending on what batteries you get for it.


All in all, if you like the ego-t type b. Your gonna LOVE a REO. There's a slight learning curve but it's worth it. Hassle free with the ability to go all day without re-filling juice.

I used an ego tank for a few months. IMHO the tanks LR was only somewhat noticable. However, it hasn't been the same with other LR atty's or even cartos. So, be warned!

I became a bottom feeder fan for many of the same issues. I don't agree that all of the cheaper or plastic feeders aren't durable--

I have 2 -- the Rev2 with 1400 mah battery and the Vmod. To me the rev2 has been an inexpensive and handy toy---and in some ways vapes similar to the tank. I mostly use Boge 2.0 carto's on it and it is very consistent. (I used to hate carto's too).

The Vmod is very new-- and packs a lot of punch (for a low price) with the 2.2 carto or 2.0 Hybrid Atty on it. (you can google for the threads) It seems to be getting a lot of attention right now for good reason, IMHO. This could be a big change from what you've been using without going high end.

Just thought I'd put in a little more encouragement toward's trying bottom feeding----

I'm a Phidias fan, by the way. One of the many beautiful wooden bottom feeders available. It certainly packs a punch! And, like many of the companies, there will be innovations and new stuff coming out, I hear.

Just mentionable: Any of the large bottom feeders that can take an 18650 batt can also take a 5.0v ni-mh batt and most of them can handle a pair of rcr123a's for 6.0v and some can handle a pair of 18350s for 7.4v. It isn't VV, but that's a good range of voltage choice: 3.7, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.4v.

I can't agree about a plastic box bottom feeder being completely lacking for durability, either. I have a couple and the least expensive one gets a lot of use and is holding up a lot better than I expected. And, if VV is a big deal, this review will point you in that direction.

 

[Coreva]

If your still looking, Brian at Redsky actually has one for sale on the website that wasn't snatched up on his thread -
Variable Voltage Mods - Red Sky Mods

Many feel he is one of the top two or three makers of wood mods and consistently keeps his prices lower than the other wood VV mods. I admit I am a fanboy but after weeks of scouring the threads looking for a VV box, his is the one I picked and it is not only a vape factory it's absolutely gorgeous.

 

[vocr]

I have a different suggestion. Checkout the ego booster: http://artisanvaping.com/. I really like my ego-t, especially the batteries and why jump ship to odd batteries?

The only place that sells the ego booster also sells the vapemate (http://www.supertmanufacturing.com/id80.html) so I bought it as well.

Now, I don't have either yet, still waiting for Jack to ship it but there are some good reviews of both on this forum.

Here's a couple of links for not only the best, The Buzz Pro, but the originators of Variable Voltage PVs. You know their good when everyone else copies them.

I just placed my order for a vv Grip feeder from SweetVapes, although a non-feeder version is available as well. Brad's very easy to deal with, and does some really nice work. The vv display is also hidden in the mod. Definitely worth checking out.
