I agree with the kayfun/ Russian tanks for sure, someone mentioned the fogger but that's a dual coil design so imo would stay away for now. now it can be very confusing about these kayfuns because there are so many clones about. there are some great clones, but some bad ones as well, if you can swing an authentic new or used, it potentially would be less hassle. as for a mod, imo at first stay with a vv device and not a mech and personally I would go for at least one that is 15 watts this way you can build coils in a much wider range. I know its easier said then done but a provari is one of the best vv mods in the world and well worth the money, here again you can pick these up used in the classys. a kayfun and provari set up is the best choice imo for you hands down. also if for some reason (which I doubt) you don't continue to vape or decide to go back to protanks( which I doubt after you vape this set up) you can always re sell without a negotiable loss (as long as they are authentics)
Very good Advice! A provari and Authentic KFL both of which can be picked up on the Classifieds and I am pretty sure the pair could be had for less than $200 if you shop carefully FB classifieds are also a great place to find steals. The authentic KFL will sincerely give you a hassle free device I know there are decent clones but so many have slight changes that can (not always do) cause issues. Also as Vapdivrr stated if in the unlikely event you quit or just feel like going back to your old set up you will most likely re coupe most of your investment especially with proven devices like KFL and Provari

Use your vv 3.0

Kayfun mini...kemosabe -ivigo/angel cigs version?

Igo L for a dripper..might need a collar for flush look..and even an agi will look fine, and work with the itaste..and spinners.

Some are fond of the Igo f.. I have no experience..

Tank- kayfun mini is you're easiest, and best bet.. it's so simple, you just need kanthal and wick. I prefer cotton...But there are many types. Learning how to use mesh can be difficult for many..so agi will require you looking up a review...I haven't watched any:/.
Youde AGI- hybrid 510 atomizer. Dripper and tank.. $10 last time I checked... I'd get ss mesh, 400 or 500 thread count...I've never used ss rope wire.. I've heard mixed things..rayon works..I don't like it.

Get kanthal 28-32awg..just to see what you like with each setup...

Get a dripper and the kayfun mini..then go from there.

If you get a mech. . Get a 20x1 threaded mod for future capability of using awesome atomizers that don't have 510.

Thanks for all the advice....honestly couldn't have done it without your help - and if this goes well - will try a dripper since they are supposed to be so good too!

great choice! Please feel free to PM me if you need any advice when you get it. I am not familiar with the SID but I am sure it will work at first. As far as dripping I would suggest putting that off until you master the KFL. Then venture into RDA's.... I had 5 KFL before I stepped into dripping and even now with 5 really nice RDA"s I still primarily reach for my KLF's 2014-09-24 00.10.18.jpg

Just thought I would report back.....
I almost gave up!
I had 3 or 4 builds ... from 2.8 ohms to 1.4 - with 2 different types of cotton and a rope of silicone.... all tasted nasty ..... so I put it in the box for several days - and today decided to give it one more try.
1.4 ohms with silicone .... still nasty .... then I realized I was at 4.0 volts - turned it down .... and wow ..... I'm sold!
Thanks everyone for the advice and help!
