No. The reason you went back to "analogs" is because you did. You "could" have tried another delivery device.

No, it's not. devices back when I started are nothing like today. There wasn't many options, everyone was tinkering and trying to come out with something that they could actually enjoy. Today the market is flooded, with different options for every kind of user.

N/M Not preaching. Not preaching.

It's ok, I really didn't want to go back, and tried my hardest not to, but even then with the new mods that had been coming out that were game changers were in the $200+ range. They were sold out within minutes and you would be lucky to get your hands on one. All the old timers can attest to this. I'm just glad I've found something now that will keep me off the analogs for good. :)

And I'd say the eGo Twist with Kanger T2's for the same reasons. Simple, flavorful, just-right draw, fill it 'n go with 2-3 ml juice. Similarly with the heads - cheap to replace, different ohms available, unscrew old one, screw in new one. easy to fill. The End. :D


EGo twists with EVOD clearomizers are the easiest, most predictable vape I know.

The vape quality is good, the EVOD heads are easily replaceable, and cheap.

The EVOD is also metal, so it won't crack if it falls.

Go for it.

Awesome feedback from everyone.

I wasn't all that clear I guess, here is what I am looking for:

* Easy of fill: like the Vivi's or T2's, nice opening to fill without requiring aiming, squirt it in quick and go :D
* Easy to change heads: T2's is the best at that as it sticks out. Next up is the eVod.
* Taste: The best taste I have had are from the Vision and Boge vivi's but changing the head is messy (T2's to me doesn't taste great which is annoying because I really like them).

My experiences:
Sunfire T2's from Vapingme:

  • Great size, not huge but still holds lots of liquid.
    Looks good on eGo's.
    EASIEST to fill and Change heads
    Great Price ($1.00 per head)
    Flavor, not so great to me compared to say a Vivi Nova.

eVods:

  • Great size, not huge but still holds OK amount of liquid.
    Looks good on eGo's.
    Hardest to fill IMO, fairly easy to change head but can still be a bit messy
    Good Price ($1.50 per head)
    Flavor is pretty good.

Vision Vivi's:

  • BIG but ok for at home, holds a lot of eliquid
    Ugly on eGo's even with the cone to make a smooth transition, also having to remove the cone to charger etc is annoying hehe.
    Refilling is easy but changing heads without taking it all apart is very annoying.
    Expensive ($2.49 per head)
    Flavor is great

Boge Vivi's:

  • BIG but ok for at home, holds a lot of eliquid
    Ugly on eGo's even with the cone to make a smooth transition, also having to remove the cone to charger etc is annoying hehe.
    Refilling is easy but changing heads without taking it all apart is very annoying.
    Cheap ($1.10 per head)
    Flavor is great but leaks like hell.

I am not into dripping, I did that a few years ago and I can't be handling juice all day with my kids around (stay at home dad).
For T2's I was using Sunfire's from vapingme, maybe they are a bad knockoff of real T2's hence the low flavor?

I was looking at the eLips type because there is one type you put in and that's it, from what I read you don't need to change heads as often or clean them to make them last longer. For a while I was just thinking about buying a bunch of CE4, fill 3 or 4 each day, use them for 2 days and throw them away since they're getting close to the cheapest head coil price nowadays but again CE4's are soso in taste.

Would you consider the Vision Mini Vivi Nova? It solves the size problem you have with the regular Vivi Nova (same diameter as an eGo). It uses the same heads as the regular so that doesn't really help with the changing of the heads. As far as cost, I haven't actually ordered from them but THIS place has them for $0.90 each.

Now for the having to remove the cone to charge the battery issue, you can do what I did and get an eGo pass through that plugs into the bottom of the battery instead of the top. I leave my Mini Vivi Nova fully attached when charging. This is of course NOT a VV battery but it works for me.

The only thing simpler really is to use an auto-cig-a-like battery and refillable cartomizers. Fill up 5-20 cartos use them until all empty and repeat. When a carto dies toss it and add a new one to the rotation. Keep 2 or 3 of these extremely cheap batteries in rotation if one dies, trash it and bring in a new one. With a 2 battery rotation keep one in use and the other on the charger, never without a battery.

Please do not spend $60 on an elipse... I got an ovale brand Elipse last year for $30 bucks used it 2 days and haven't touched it since. The whole thing is proprietary from the tanks to the charger and atomizers, and frankly, as Grimm says, they are "meh" at best. The inside of the mouth piece sweats like crazy... the thing should have come with a trumpet spit valve.

I haven't bought a carto in six months. Evods/Novas and Ego vvs (until something better comes along)

I've wanted something simple as well from day 1 because I'm away from home 10-14 hours a day. However I've tried many. Right now, I think the simplest setup that works for me is the Ego-C changeble. Here's what I went through:

510s
joytech tanks atomizers
Ovale elips
Ovale eMini
Vivinovas
Boge cartos
clearomizers
DCT tanks
Drip atomizers
ego twist
numerous ego usb passthroughs

Right now, for me, the best set up is an Ego batt with the changeble tank system. Pull the tank out, fill, push back in and go. 1000 mah batt lasts the whole day and more. The vivi nova is simpler bcs you fill it less often however I don't like the taste and my tonsils react to it for some reason.

I would still have the twist but I recently lost it on a beach in Thailand. :) Actually I've lost 5-6 egos. Easily replaceable.

The Ovale elips is a hassle because you have to pull off the cap, pull of the tank, fill it and put it all together again. The tanks is usually wet from condensation so you have to wipe it everytime you fill. There is also an o-ring for the cap that wears out. You;ll also have to carry both batts or a charger as well.

The emini/eroll is nice but you will be filling up often. And the power diminishes quickly.

*Caveat: With the eroll and changable tanks, you will need the juice bottles with sharp narrow nozzles to fill up.

the changeble is not perfect bcs sometimes hit dry, but I'm liking the simplicity right now. Fussing with equipment and juice..."AIN'T NO BODY GOT TIME FOR THAT" :)

I still think you should look into a Reo. I have used everything that you have and possibly more and a bottom feeder is the most elegant solution I've tried so far. From the outside looking in a Reo sounds like a pain, but when you actually use one you see how simple it is. Fill with liquid once a day. Charge batteries once a day. Feed atomizer every now and again. Replace atomizer every so often. If you get a good atty like an hh357 it will last a loooong time. Mine has been going strong with constant use for 3 months now.

I would love a Reo, I just can't figure out that ordering process at all. You have to be home at a certain time or something??

I don't understand what you mean. I ordered mine the same way I ordered everything else I've ordered online.

I was required to sign for the package if that's what you mean. I wasn't home when they tried to deliver it so I had to go to the post office and pick it up. No big deal.
