EH Pro in my own personal opinion are the best kayfun clones. I have had nothing but good experiences with them. I just started vaping in March and I can tear down and rebuild a Kayfun Lite in less than 5 minutes.

I was not a terribly "handy" lady before I started vaping either.

I saw this one last night too and now I am trying to find out which Kayfun clones are worthwhile lol

I have both the Tobeco and the EHPro. IMO the EHPro wins hands down. The connection between the top of the chimney and the top cap of the tank is crucial. If they are not sealed leaks will occur. The EHPro has a redesigned top cap that gets a great seal with the top of the chimney. The only leaks I have had is when I'm flying due to the change in air pressure. 101vape has the EHPro for $40, well worth it IMO. Nope I do not work for 101vape or EHPro, but that would be kinda fun...

I am surprised no one mentioned the pppppppP word yet. Provrari! There, I said it! Don't get me wrong, I love my Reos and other APV's ( the ones that stay home) but, the Provari/ Kayfun combo is hard to beat and a fantastic step up for single coiling as well as delivering performance, reliability, fare ease of operation and durability. When I leave the house, I reach for my Provari's and Kayfuns as this combo has never let me down as of yet. Reo #1 comes along for the ride now too. ( It has been dedicated to the Virus/Frenilla mix which is my current ADV and just too darn hard to put down! ). This is not an agenda but, merely another suggestion that is well worth taking a peek at.

You are off to a great start Ms.C and things can get confusing at a rapid rate. May I suggest that you take your time and explore your options before taking a big leap. The learning curve will pay you off in spades. However it turns out, may you enjoy the ride!

Oh!,and by the way, Welcome to the Family!!!:D

What he said ^^^!!! When I'm out and about the ProVari and KFL+ is usually what goes with me. I've even gotten pretty good at stealthing with that setup. Now that I have the REO I'm sure he will be going along for the ride also.

I haven't found anything to be a definite no, open to all suggestions. Any size is OK at home but I'm just not home too much except weekends. At work, an MVP2 or Reo Mini would be as large as I'd probably go.

I have switched up the volts and watts on the vv v3's but seem to stay at 1.9 ohms with these tanks. Don't misunderstand, I don't really speak ohms language. :) I stay generally in the 3.7 range and 7.5 - 8.0 for power.

I don't really have a budget but had been looking in the MVP2 and Reo Mini range. Not sure what to do about tanks.

Megan - I promise to never throw another coil away. The few I've tossed ...... me off. LOL. I may very well take you up on your offer or at least get your advice for learning how to do it.

Flavored - all joined up on CASAA.

Just PM'd you.

When you get to coiling, I'll heartily recommend this gizmo that makes it really easy to get tight micros every time:

Use cotton or other wicking material other than the ecowool as it really deadens the flavors.

I have never tried cotton as I don't want o change my wick every day or two. And I don't think I would like the burn if I vaped it dry.
Ekowool has it's benefits. I get really good flavor from it.
I think this is the first post from my favorite bib wearing, kiln loading, squeeze every last drop from bottles NT girlfriend from 2/3's the way across the country that I haven't agreed on.

Its all a matter of personal preference. I have tried it all and for me, Koh Gen Do is the only way to go unless of course I am using a bottom feeder wick system RBA. Shiseido has its merits a well. Ahh, The beauty of vaping. Choices, choices, choices. :)

As the Koh Gen Do has been rounded up by all the vapers and now the Shiseido I can only laugh as two different CEOs in Japan are sitting in a meeting hearing about the sudden run on their pads like this :blink:


:lol:

haha I thought that the other day when I went to Michaels and bought the artistic wire gizmo tool. I bet they had stock sitting around for years that all of a sudden they are seeing a huge influx in sales and scratching their heads.

And now the cellucotton at beauty supply stores!! All of them will assume there are many people in the world with well kept faces, permed hair wearing jewelry made entirely out of coils!! OMG the visual!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

ETA: OH! and all of them are using only high end flashlights for lighting that need lots of 18650 batteries!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!!!! :laugh:

Reonauts (man, my IPad didn't want to type that word) - can someone explain the topper? Is it a cartomizer? I now understand how the Reo works but none of the videos talk about batteries much or what else is needed.

When you "squonk" (squeeze the bottle of juice) you push it up to the RM2 where there is a coil with a wick. I saturates the wick and the extra is sucked back down into the bottle of juice, then you push the fire button, it heats the coil, vaporizes the juice like it would do if you were dripping but it is set up so you don't have to drip, just squonk when the flavor starts to fade and keep on vaping! :D

And yes, you need batteries. I recommend vtc5's for the grand (18650 size) though I don't know what size or the brand for the mini....

You can use a cartomizer, or a 306 atomizer, or for rebuildables you can get either the Reomizer or an Igo F (I think) on the REO website. There are other atomizers that can be used, but they have to be modified to bottom-feed. That's the cool thing about the REO (and other bottom-feed mods) is that the juice is in the bottle held inside the mod, and you "squonk" it up into the atty or carto.
Each of the different models take different size batteries. The Mini 2.1 uses 18490s, the Grand takes 18650s (I believe). Check out the REO thread here on ECF. There's tons of info. Look for a sticky that says something about REO Index...it has categorized links that are really helpful.

Its uses a "bottom fed" RDA. The way it works is that you build your coil and wick. Inside the door along with the battery is a bottle and feeder tube. You deliver the juice by "Squonking". ( the term used for a light pumping motion of the bottle through the window) The reo is indeed a fantastic unit and the official Nicoticket delivery device. With that being said, I just jumped on the band wagon after much resistance to box mods and now have two. (although I do own a VTR). The only downside ( not too bad though) is that these units need to remain upright as much as possible. Otherwise the juice can migrate through the RDA and make a mess. I have a leather crafter working on a custom alligator hide holster for mine. My only other small wish is that cobalt magnets would be used to secure the door. With my big mitts, it tends to slide on me a bit. Also no big deal.

Overall, an awesome unit for sure!
