I am a bottom feeder girl. But, I really have been eyeing the Alpha Ultra with RES lately. Are they as easy as my bottom feeders? Are they worth the price? I am not a heavy vapor, I would say I'm a medium. What size should I get lite, ultra or ultra max? Any info you guys and gals can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

I have an ultra max w/res and love it. I even bought an extra res so that I can change flavors in a flash. The only thing that takes a little getting used to is the switch but it's not hard. It actually slide fairly easy. I suggest the max because you can use it at high voltage or at 3.7V with a 17670 which lasts longer than the smaller battery models.

I use a low resistance cartomizer with mine which gives me an extra ml of juice along with the res. It sucks up every last drop.

Wasn't happy with the one I purchased. The switch is difficult to work, and after 3 weeks I gave up. Great company to do business with though, but the switch design is annoying at best. There have been a TON of these for sale on the forums here, and if you are really interested, best to at least get a discount that way.

The RES is a bit small, even on the ulta max. We have cartos that hold over 3ml now, and quite a few different types. There is even a 3.5 ml dual coil carto on the market. Filling the RES by dripping down the center and blowing lightly to push the juice into ceremic is a bit cumbersome as well. You know its full by the juice coming out the holes in the side and onto your hands or the occasional suck of straight juice into your mouth. Not my favorite system for sure. You can remove the ceramic and drip on it to fill, but again, cumbersome.

Its a very expensive mod, and for the money, there are quite a few great options with greater battery life, better switch designs, and more holding capacity. You could even go Variable Voltage and still come out cheeper.

Again though, bunches of these are being sold, over and over again. Its not a mod for everyone, and you can pick them up used at quite a discount.
