Personally I'm in the keep it simple camp.

I'm a keep it simple person. I use 1000mAh Twists and Vivi Nova 2.5 and mini's. I bought the Nova about three weeks after i started vaping. I have been vaping for three months. I know my delivery system and don't have a fiddle factor anymore. I have my juices that I go to all the time. I'm basically in maintenance mode. I'm happy and satisfied. The only thing I have changed lately is trying NET tobacco's from my favorite vendor.
For myself, if it got complicated I would probably go back to smoking. I'm not a tinkerer which is probably why I like my simply easy setup.

nice! I want to try the kanger T3's or T4's, I hear they are really good. And they are so much cheaper than vivi novas. I just wish that they would make some be able to fit over any 510 connection. They would be priced well, and versatile. It'd be awesome.
I keep it simple,i just use the Ego-C system and very happy with it.I cant see why people buy the clearmisers and different voltage batteries and all,im getting awesome vapour and flavours and i only fill my tank 2 times/max.
I'm both I guess. I'm both a fiddler and a fad buyer, but I'm also interested in making things as easy as possible. I especially like things to be as easy as possible when I'm going out of the house, or for those "bad" days. lol. I also hate to have BIG or ugly PVs or BIG or ugly heads in public, so I try to find things that I'd be comfortable using outside of the house.
As far as liking fiddly things, or simplistic things, on a daily basis... I change, but I'm mostly one for simplicity. I mean, I'm young, I don't always hold a job. Sometimes I can spend a good month, even two months online, researching whatever I'm interested in at that time. Vaping has been like that. Through the 4 years I've been vaping, there have been looong periods where I'm on a forum or I'm researching vaping supplies and everything else there is to research about vaping. But I get tired of it, it fizzles out, and I end up working and just maintaining what I'm vaping, and maintaining what I've already got on hand. Juices are one thing I'll always keep looking out for. Right now I'm on the hunt for the perfect sour blue raspberry lollipop tasting juice. I hope I've found it but... who knows? Hopefully what I just bought, I'll like, 30ml is expensive for not liking something. llol

Meh. My interest in the latest tech waxes and wanes. When the Zmax hit the streets, my buddy bought one up immediately. I was jealous at first, but the more I looked at it and the more I handled it, the more I thought, "This thing is waaaaay too big to be convenient". Unless I had a Luke Skywalker belt with a lightsaber hook, it just wouldn't be feasible for a day about town, or work, for that matter.
Eventually I will own a Provari, but as of right now, I'm completely happy with my Torpedo, Twist, Kgo VV, hell, even my Volt mini. I no longer drip after discovering SmokTech carto tanks, and I no longer covet my friend's Zmax. The only major big purchase I have in store is the Vamo. Other than that, it's just replacement cartos and juice.

For myself it's an eGo Twist, and T2's at 2.2-2.4 ohms. I prefer cooler vapes and decent battery life. OK...I'll fess up, I have about 10 eGo batteries and 20 T2s, and 20 head replacements for them and 3 chargers and a loooot of juice.... Hey when I like somethin' I reaaaaaaally like it 
i love ego twists... i also have the cylaplex from vapor beast...i got it b/c big battery VV nd pretty, looks like an ipod 
Also i like to drip, so i use 510 attys and a decent tip....
i would like to find a decent RBA, that is easy to use and cheap.... i have heard that the phoenix is what i am looking for...
When it comes to new hardware besides attys, i think that i am done, sure I enter contest, but meh.
i love having many different juices, my biggest thing is making sure that I am SAVING $$$$ so far i have spent about $500 on vaping and I have so much dang juice and plenty of hardware

I just want a pipe, a kicked mod, and maybe one more medium sized battery mod. Then I'll be happy with my mods. Until I win the lottery. Then I'm definitely gonna need a GG, a Zen, and a ZAP. lol. Until then, I'm buying more RBAs and saving for a pipe mod.
My interest in the "latest and greatest" equipment comes and goes too.
I have no problem with more advanced equipment, as long as it simplifies my daily use. To me, simple doesn't necessarily mean a dime a dozen. To me, a simple ego is less simple because I have to carry around extra batteries.
I'd rather have my Buzz (or soon hopefully a REO!) and be able to change the battery once in the morning, top off and go. I have two sets of batteries - I just swap them back and forth from charger to PV and it's suuuper easy. There's also enough battery life to not need to worry at all about it dying if I'm not home early enough since it'll easily press on into the next day.
I'd also prefer an RBA for that reason too, rebuild a coil once a week (for pennies on the dollar), then move on to aforementioned plan of top it off and go. I've actually found lately that cartos end up giving me more headache than they should lately, and I end up screwing around with fiddling and replacing them too often. Before cartos went south, I used a 3ml tank that would last me all day. My entire vaping setup for a day could be done in under 3 minutes and I didn't even have to think about it.
When I first started vaping I had every ego battery, njoy battery (chargers too!) and any other vaping gadget and bottle of juice I had in my "vaping backpack" which would never be far from me. After doing that for awhile I got totally sick of being dependant on havig supplies at all times, and now my main concern is all-day performance with once a day simplicity

I've been smoking disposables for the last few weeks. It's working out fine. I wait for sales and get them for about $3 each.
I have been keeping it very simple. Just bought a real good mod ( a provari ) and have been putting atty's on it and dripping. It really can't get any more simple, except for one thing that I will most likely try someday and that is the bottom feeder VV mods like REO.
It is simple for me:
Ego Twist + Ressurector/Boje carto/Kanger T3 + DIY flavorless juice.
But... After more than 3.5 years I have a lot of other devices as a back up (most expensive being a Provari) and 2 years worth of 100 mg/ml juice reserve.

My super simplified and cheap set up:
Pure smoker icon v1.1 510 style
510 to 510 adapter
empire mods dripshield
atomizer
Drip tip
3 14500 aw imr batteries
30 mL bottle of southern freeze from vaporcaststore
Batteries are $7 to replace ever several months
Atomizers are $5 to replace every month or so
New bottle of juice every 3 weeks or so.
Direct dripping so easy, you can even do it while driving (I'm kidding, don't do this while driving, yes, I'm talking to you), and it gives good flavor. Drip shield stops the mess. Icon is a simple system, I can generally figure out and fix any issues that would/could come up. I'd put in a 2 cent safety fuse if they made them small enough, but eh, oh well.

i finally found my perfect delivery system,,kanger T3 ..heads on those last at least three weeks,,yea i know there are some that don't but all of mine have so far..soooooooo i'm done hunting the perfect system,,everything from on out is just curiosity..
nice. i like my top coil redux but I want to try the kanger I hear really good things. i'm guessing you can use the T3s on any device with a 510 to eGo adapter? I'll have to get one and try it.
Still just using a 5v passthru and cartomizer. No cigarettes for over 3 years. Works for me.
ive still never owned a passthrough even though 90% of my day is in front of a computer :I I want one.
Amazing how this stuff escalates. I began the morning with the Vivi Nova mini and a 650 twist, ran the battery out and switched to a eGo-V and the mini. Now I was just thinking of switching to the vv 18650 mod the larger Vivi Nova cause I wanted more clouds.
I wonder if the resistance is going up because of prolonged usage... hmmm
Oh well

After 3+ years of vaping and a multitude of variations, I finally settled on a Rio Grande and a PrecisePlus 18650. I use standard resistance 510 atomizers and drip tips on both mods which helps keep things simple. These mods are easy clean, easy to use, produce good vapor, and have locking mechanisms.
I carry them everywhere I go so that I can vape 2 different flavors. My Rio is particularly awesome when I am driving since it does not cause any distraction.
