Well I'm happy to say I don't think I will be going anywhere. I got to sit down with the owner of a local b&m. We picked out a tank and a dripper for my to try out. I'm settling on the orchid and the origin rda.

I did get to test the erlkonigin. I will be saving for one of those. I rebuilt twice and have had zero issues for the last 2 days.

Thanks again to everyone. I really needed a kick in the pants lol.

Good to hear you found something you like. I was getting fed up at one point, money going to waste on things I didn't like and at one point I thought I found my happy place and then it ended up making me angry and now I think I settled on certain kinds of devices. Honestly, at this point I couldn't go back to tobacco even if I tried. I did yesterday since I forget my juice on my commute to lunch. Lit it up, took one puff, out the window. Almost vomited O_O

I hear ya on that. They are completely different tasting. I sometimes slip up when I go out drinking for the night. Nothing worse then waking yup with a knarly hangover and tasting/smelling like an ashtray..

I fill carto's and put one on my Provari. It is pretty easy. People get frustrated because they chase everything available. It's only as complicated as you make it.
I have no problem with anyone chasing Nirvana but my flavors taste great and I'll take simplicity over wrapping coils and buying endless clones till i find one that works. At least until I know that's what I want.
To each his own.
 
I know exactly what you mean. EVERYTHING is a hassle. Your choices seem to be between products that either leak, clog, won't draw, or taste bad. Smoking was so much easier because your only concern was how to make fire. After fighting with every delivery system I could find for over a year, I finally found a good solution with the Kanger aero adapter on a protank for my APVs and I bored out 1 air hole on some Evods for my Egos. Man, what a difference! I'm vaping happy now. It's a much cheaper solution than a Reo and you don't have to hassle with rebuilding anything unless you want to (Kanger coils are easy to rebuild, check youtube). Good luck, hope you stay off the analogs.

I can remember the Joye 510 days. Dry hits were normal operation. We went from the cotton cart fill and the Polyfill to the blue fish tank filter Fluval that you had to buy at the pet store. Then, you had to cut pieces of plastic drink stirrer straws to make the Fluval stand up from the bottom of the cart so more juice would fit in.

Then, we got eGos and went through type A, B, and C plastic tanks that leaked in our pockets. Finally we discovered Boge cartos. First decent and reliable vape I remember was from a Boge carto. I just didn't know what a good vape was until then! I carried a 3ml bottle of juice in my pocket to top it off every 20 or 30 minutes.

When Protank arrived I thought I was in vaping heaven.

I was just talking about that fluval fish foam yesterday. Boy, has vaping come a long way!

My current 'perfect' vape is a Seven-30w with an AeroTank Giant - big 'n heavy but the battery lasts *ages* and the Giant seems a pretty reliable vape. I have a Kayfun too which I use daily but yeah - getting the wicking just so can be a pain - if I just want a great vape with no hassles I screw on the AeroTank and go (the airflow on the Giant is amazing - as tight or loose as you want).

I will say that the Reo looks awesome though - might get one at some point :)

I'm not even going to read all the other posts because I'm sure they're full of "get a Reo!" I've been vaping for 4 years now. I finally got a Reo a few months ago. Nothing compares... and I've tried them all. I still use and enjoy provari's and kayfuns but the Reo with a RM2 is just stupid simple. I use micro coils and KGD cotton. I change my cotton every couple days and it takes less than 2 minutes. I refill my bottle every night and it takes about a minute. Squonking quickly becomes second nature. My coils last weeks and when I do feel the need to make a new one.. it takes maybe 5 minutes.

No leaking. No fiddling. No dry hits unless you don't squonk. A forum full of helpful devoted fans. A company that cares. Easy to carry and pocket.

They ONLY thing I can think of that might be a negative is that it's not real easy if you change juices a lot. The feed tube, unless cleaned with alcohol tends to retain the flavor and carry it over to the next juice. I've read that people dedicate a bottle and tube for each juice. So it's easy enough to change juices if you switch out bottles and tubes. I am fortunate enough to have a great all day, every day juice that I keep in mine and use kayfuns for other flavors.

Once I bought my REOs.. I quit looking at everything else except more REOs. Even the new Provari 3 doesn't interest me much. I enjoy fiddling when I want to fiddle. But I don't always want to fiddle.. the REO is perfect for me because it's just so easy.

Once you buy the device and atty.. some kanthal and cotton... that's it. There's nothing else to buy except juice (and more REOs LOL)

I urge you.. before you go back to smoking and all that comes with it... try just one more thing.

I'm glad I am a "simple" vaper! LOL. My nirvana is a miniProtank3 on top of an MVP2, with some Itaste vv/vws as backups. Now, if I could just find the PERFECT Watermelon...
Have you tried this one yet? On sale this week for $0.99

http://www.killer-juice.com/watermelon/

My brother in law has quit 8 weeks with that same setup (MVP + MPT3). Do you use the stock base, modified stock base (bigger holes), or Aerotank base?

Not a tangent. I've thought about checking out the Nautilus. I've heard good things.

Try the nautilus with the BVC coils. It was a game changer for me. That and the Provari were a winning combo. Coils last me about 7-10 days on average. I don't clean them or dry burn them. Getting 25-30ls of juice out of a coil seems to sufficient.
Make sure you purchase from a reliable source.
I have been using the coils for 1month and have had no issues. Running 4 different tanks. Fill it about 3/4 full, don't over tighten the base and you should be good to go.

No, I haven't tried it yet...GREAT price!

I use the stock base with no extra holes. I am simple...I use stock coils, too. I like the ease of use.
