IMO you should just get a ProVari and kayfun. You won't regret it. I've been through a lot of devices and toppers and my favorite combination by far is the ProVari mini with extension (because I prefer the look of the teardrops) and KFL+ V2. Hits like a dream every time. Micro Coil and cotton is also the only way to go when it comes to a kayfun IMO as well. Also, when (because most likely you will) you order your ProVari, do yourself a huge favor and get a beauty ring.

So ok lol.....hold on.....if I get the provari (regular) is that already full size and don't need the extension or do I only get the extension if I get the mini......I want the big size lol......don't want to order the extension cap if im not going to need it already......also, is it a different beauty ring because I have a couple of those already from my other devices....if its different I will get it then.

The beauty rings you have one work on the provari, so yeah, order the one from provape when you order your provari- it's 8 bucks and worth it for appearances. Forgot about that.
Extension is gonna depend in what batt you want to use. The mini and standard are the same price, so it's just a size preference.
The mini uses 18350 batts, the mini with extension and the standard both use 18490s and the standard with extension uses 18650s.
All options have the same board and same behavior; the only difference is the batt you use.
Personally I did the standard with 18490s because I figure if I ever want more batt capacity I can get the extension and larger batt; which, I'm going to order after I get my June deposit. The 18490s last me half a day each, if I go to an 18650 I should double the battery life so I can leave the house with a full tank and not need to bring anything with me and be good and worry free all day.

It goes like this
Mini takes a 18350
Mini+extension 18490
Full size 18490
Full+extension 18650
The difference isn't only the size. The mini has teardrops where the full size has a diamond type design with lines swirling around it. I'm sure you've seen them, lol. And I don't know about the beauty ring. As far as I know the only beauty ring that works for the provari are ones that are made for it. Are you maybe talking about the ego rings that you use to cover ego threading? Like the ones you get with a protank?

There is a kfl ring for provari also, the kfl is a hair narrower than a provari and it has this graduating angular design to fill the gap- personally I think 25 bucks for it is a total waist when the provape one looks better at less than half the price

Dripping just isn't for me; several reasons. I've tried it with some of my friends mods; and, it is enjoyable. It's just not my thing, too messy, and I work around electronics all day, my mod site in my lap or in my shoe all day, don't wanna wear the juice. I don't like genesis style attys for the same reason. That's why I love the kfuns so much; just pure flavor IMHO; and, no mess! They may not put out the same amount of vapor as a driller or a genesis but the flavor is allot better and with the right build just as warm!

If you like the taste of dripper, but don't like the actual act of dripping, check out bottom feeders like the REO's

I was looking at those and have had a few people telling me they leak.
Kinda sucks cause I do like them; but, leakage is a total deal breaker for me. There is no way I can keep the mod standing up all day.

Haven't had that problem with mine yet with the rm2, but I've only had it for a few days so far, so I'll see. Loving it right now though

More I think about a backup or new device the more I think about getting a DNA board and hitting the workshop lol

I've got a ZNA30 and love it, but it sucks through batteries like crazy in 490 mode. Does okay with vct4s and vct5s.

Interesting- that is a beautiful mod, no doubt about it. It's just one of those deals where I feel like what I have is perfect and I can justify getting another provari for back up. I know what I'm getting and already love it. I just can't justify spending more money on something that I may not like more.
I can easily justify buying the board and building a mod though! Lol. In fact I'm gonna start putting together a cad sketch for the 3d printer for one!
Maybe when I become employed again I'll go ahead and buy a dna30 mod.
