Read your original post...if I worked somewhere and didn't want to drip, I would definitely want a bottom feeder. Have you seen the Reo's? I'm sold on them...went from a 510 e-cig and used atty's and carts too...and also a Riva but the Reo is sturdy and allows vaping all day long...the 18650 batteries would fit in the Reo Grand version of the Reo mod which holds up to 6ml of fluid. Not cheap but possibly the last mod you would buy. I use cartos and attys both on the ones I have and either work great. Personally I like EM 510 attys- (2 ohms on sweeteer juice and 1.5 ohms on tobacco flavored juices). With the Reo I can vape 100% VG juice without any issue of clogging although about once a week I do run warm water through my atty's and blow them out and let them dry- then they're good to go again. There is a huge subforum for the Reo Here: Reos Mods

Yes I would love a Reo. I just spent over 2,000.00 on vet bills for my dog. I was told by the vet probably was not going to be a good outcome but the way I figure it he's a member of my family and I have to do everything within reason to save him. He's been diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis and liver damage. I almost choked over the vet bills but what's a person to do? The Reo will have to wait, sadly.

Ok just want to send some hugs out to Soonerfan and hoping the pup pulls through. I am so glad to see another person who considers an animal part of the family. I am pretty sure that I am considered a little "off" because my critters are like my children and part of the family. Our vet knows when I call they had better pay attention cause I'm pretty serious about the care of my animals. I know I have insulted some rather important people a time or two by telling them the animals live there they do not and if they dont like what the animals are doing they can $%^&(* leave. (and my critters do have manners). But anyway hope all goes well and you get the Reo soon

Thanks Barbie! My dog is doing better but he can take a turn for the worse so fast. He and I are almost attached at the hip. I rescued him several years ago from being euthanized because he was "mean." I think shelters use any excuse they can find to euthanize dogs to cut down on the over population. He's never offered to bite anyone. I would love to get a Reo but it will just have to wait.

At the OP: After trying a DSE901 which needs dripping every other minute, and messing with an ego tank which has leaks and stains my pockets I've settled on the ego mega/cillindrical ato+carts. One 1000mah battery would last an entire day and even going out in the evening and vaping non-stop for another 1-2 hours, my friends smoke about a pack in the same time :)
The mega/cillindrical cartridge holds over 1.5ml of liquid, so with two carts I get a over a busy vaping day.
Good luck.

Ok i've bought a set of ego's and thats what i'm currently using,
so far i've tried boge low resistance cartomizer, and joye cartomizer.
and i've got the two atomizers that came with the ego,

here is the situation that i'm running into, i purchased vg and 24mg pg nic juice, i was mixing about the 30% vg with the nic juice and flavoring to cut down the potency, (i'm using pg flavorings), but my mixes are gunking up everything i'm putting them into, should I dilute the vg before mixing? what is the max percentage of pure vg to add to pg to keep the gunking from happening.

second is I work behind a computer all day, I like the cartomizers because I dont have to fill as much, but it still seems like i'm filling up every 10-15 minutes with the occasional overfill, juice on my hands and ego, and splatter in my mouth, (i can handle the taste, its the too much nicotine in my system that gets to me),

How can I make the habit more reliable, less messy, without refilling every few minutes, i've got the 2 aa box mod coming from mad vapes, and i've got the 5v box mod enroute also, i'm building them myself, and i'm not scared to buy or try more stuff, because i'm a technician myself i prefer to punish myself and can justify spending 50-60bucks on parts and stuff rather than buying something premade, this thing has turned into a hobby for me, and any advice on cartos or atomizers would be helpful, i would like to make this process less messy, and quit overdosing on nicotine, I prefer to vape it than drink it.(I know its very dangerous and poisonous, I do run to the bathroom and rinse mouth out if its too much:p)

If you like tinkering and are building your own mods, perhaps you could build yourself a bottom feeder especially if you don't care if it looks like a cig. Like I said in an earlier post, mine works great. It has solved the problem of juice in my mouth and getting juice on my hands. The batteries are inexpensive and you can carry a couple of backups easily. The flavor is great especially with a 306 LR atty and drip tip. You don't have to mess with dripping, just a squeeze of the bottle every few puffs and all is good. I really love mine. A 3 ml bottle of juice lasts quite a while for most people. I think that would be the answer to your problems. Just an idea you might consider. Good luck with finding your sweet spot.

Did you try the tank? I love just filling up the tank.

https://www.cignot.com/category_s/67.htm

I use 70%PG/30%VG with the tank. Some people use 50/50. I don't think it can be too think (100% VG) but I'm not 100% sure about that. It might be too thick.

Me to

Use a eGo-T I refill the tank once at noon at work ( which takes all of 20 seconds )

I am using 80-20 PG-VG and no issues with the lighter colored e-liquids, there are some of the darker ones that I had a small issue with, but it wasn’t a big deal.

Tried 50-50 and didnt like that as much, 80-20 is working for me ( although your 70-30 mix sounds like it would be about perfect, I may have to try that )
