Suggestions for first RBA and mod?

[Cait Sith]

Hi, I'm want to get a mod and a rba. This will be my first. I want something powerful but easy to build. No preference on size or shape, but I was thinking of a tube or box mech mod. Don't know much about these but I'm doing research now. Suggestions would be great!! Thanks!!

Grab the new 20w MVP and a Kayfun rba. That's how a lot of us started down the hole..

Cool, the new mvp is out?

A quality kayfun clone and 20 watts of variable power is a great setup. (Don't get an istick)

How can I tell the difference between clones? Several other people have suggested the kayfun. Do clones have their own names? Thanks, I really appreciate the advice.

I have a Kayfun Lite Plus clone that is Tobeco and it's not bad at all. Granted their QC isn't outstanding but if you find an HCigar one as well, those tend to be great too. I may very well have lucked out with my Tobeco and a few other products from them (My dead, arc-welded Russian clone for instance) leave me always eyeballing them carefully.

Sounds like it's hard to find a good one. Do they typically work well or is it hit or miss with these clones? How are the genuine kayfun's?

Infinite and EHPro make pretty solid clones..

Why not the Istick???? From what I have seen it has the same issues as the MVP 2, with the performance of the NEW MVP3. Unless you are assuming that all issues the MVP2 and even the Istick have been addressed in the MVP3. From the research I'm doing, trying to make this same decision. I find that ALL devices in the MVP/Istick/vamo/DNA clone price range <$60 Ebay, have nearly identicle pros and cons.

Here's where I'm at right now. Have pretty much determined that I have lots to learn about Vapeing. I have to learn about making coils and maintaining a RBA, whether drip or tank. I ask myself do I really need to toss the learning curve of a VV/VW device into the mix? So I'm leaning to a Mech, maybe with a VV or VW kick. This way I get the stable vaping of the regulated device, and the ability to concentrate on making proper coils and such. When I am ready for More wattage, or sub ohm coils, Then maybe it will be time to start looking at VV/VW devices, in the minimum of 50w range. For a topper I'm thinking a Kayfun with a Nano tank. Drippers for me are out of the question, I want to fill it and forget it and be able to carry it in my pocket.

For a kayfun clone, go with EHPro.

The istick is cheap. But, its inaccurate and prone to the 510 threads stripping. But, it will do the job. If you're willing to spend more, the new mvp is probably accurate and built like a brick poop house like the 2 before it.

To get a genuine Svoemaesto Kayfun, order it from Svoemesto.

oh; looks like that lists vaperev as the usa supplier.

I'd recommend a dripper, but then there's the bigdripper, which I use as my mobile device:

I'd recommend getting the regulated mod first;
I'd say that anyhow you take it you'll want to have a mech with a kick for backup, but for learning your way around, a regulated mod is the better way.

With the regulated mod you can check your ohms, battery charge, adjust voltage and/or watts easily.

++ It takes maybe 10 minutes to learn your way around your mod. VV/VW is nice when you're not great at rolling your own coils and you can't consistently get the resistance you're looking for. There's really not that much to learn on a regulated mod at all. The terminology sounds confusing if you're not use to electrical work - but you can pick up what you need to know very quickly.

I'm pretty good on which mods I'm gonna get. Just not sure about the kayfun. Clones aren't very expensive so I can get one and try it out. Any other RBA suggestions?

Also, when is the 20w MVP coming out?

Get a Lemo over a Kayfun.
They are fundamentally the same, but you have FAR more air control with the Lemo. An authentic is under 40 dollars (matter of fact I don't think there are clones YET).

I just picked up a Lemo and a Lemo Drop for under $34 a piece with free shipping from Vapercompany. I can easily recommend either of those without hesitation. I haven't yet built the Lemo, but I wound the drop with a 1.1 ohm coil and cotton wick, and it's vaping like a champ. And I would put its performance right up there with the Kayfun (although I only have a V3.1, I don't have a V4 yet) and the Russian.

For mods, I am liking what I'm hearing about the istick, but pick up a "Bending" adapter to protect the threads, which some folks are having issues with.

 

[Cait Sith]

I really like the Lemo. think I'm gonna get one. Any tips for building?
