My first setup got stolen, it was two smoktech adjustable voltage batteries and top loading tips (trophy tanks) . so i need to get something else.

I want something that is going to satisfy me , reliable, well reccomended, etc. I dont trust the judgement of the local vapor shops.


I need two so I can charge one , have one ready, etc.

need suggestions from top to bottom(meaning all the parts, not price wise top to bottom)juice i got covered. thanks guys. real upset here and I really need to replace it and get on with my life.

If I were to start over and considered all the money I've put into vaping so far and put it all toward one go to setup, I'd probably get a Cyborg with an Ithaka. That's just me though. I would however urge you to not get a couple of batteries with an ego connection soldered on, but get a mod that takes 18650s so you can just get a high capacity battery and just have to charge it at night and not have to worry about it dying on you in the middle of the day.

If you want something fatter, get something that uses rechargeable batteries (18350 or 18650, etc). It becomes a hunk of something to hold. I tend to use this at home and use the eGo Twist things at work. I like the idea of backups. I got the Vamo V5 from Fasttech and the iTaste MVP V2. I think I like the Vamo better (it seems to work better). And I have standardized on the Protank 2 mini's.

I don't like the idea of throwing away electronics when the batteries finally quit. The eGo Twist things do work and are cheap though.

Well, it depends on your budget tolerance and vaping style, but my starter pack contenders would be:

iTaste VV V3 - these things punch well beyond their weight (and size)

iTaste MVP 2 - the VV's big brother, with monster battery life

iTaste SVD - very versatile (takes 350 - 650 bat sizes), love it or hate it looks

For toppers, I'd go any aspire clearo (smaller for the VV, larger or Nautilus for the MVP and SVD) or carto tank from IBTanked.

Now, this is all while trying to keep the costs quite reasonable. If you wanted to splash out, maybe consider a Provari (still using the suggested toppers).

what are you looking for exactly? another stick style mod with adjustable voltage or you rather get something bigger like a variable volts/watts style mod. tube style? box mod? mechanical?

TBH, im not too concerned aesthetics wise, and dont want something too terribly difficult to set up, but I am reasonably competent(I a a lifelong recording engineer and hifi geek) so.....the concept here is to get something that wont require an upgrade next month. lasting power!

ego twist + kanger t3s.

or zmax and t3s. what i'm vaping today and I love it, though the kanger clearo needs some modding to really shine. but with a cotton wicked micro coil running at 10 watts with a nice airy draw, it blows some pretty nice clouds


thanks buddy! gotta learn about mods and whatnot. i am new at all this.

Luckily, I was guided well and after trying an evod on an ego battery to make sure I liked vaping, I got a MVP2 and alternated protanks and evods.

I still use the MVP daily, but now like my Sigelei Mech and Russian 91 so much.

Besides adding a few drippers, the only big purchase I see in the near future is a Provari and sorta wish I just went for one right away.

Itaste vv v3. These are the best starter devices IMHO. Vv/vw and you can use it while it's charging. Throw a mini protank 2 on it and your set. 101vape has them for 25$ and I think the mini protank is 12$

I have to agee, all things considered, this is a more than capable set up! If you could grab two, that'd be the way to go. The MVP2 can usually be had for about $40. It's a very nice affordable APV that has awesome battery life. Good luck.
