If you like the Akuma, then you should check out the dusted Ba Gau at vaperev.
A little more, but the Ba Gau I have is flawless in quality.
Either one is a good loking mod.
Enjoy the hunt
Personally, I have had bad luck with the finish of brass or copper mods. They scratch at the drop of a hat.
They look good though

Nonsense. There is no tank with a Reo. The juice is in a bottle, inside the mod, that's screwed on tight. It leaks as much as a closed bottle of juice does, as in it doesn't.
It's not like a top dripped RDA where there is a 15-20 drop puddle of juice hanging around in a reservoir on the deck, ready to leak out the air hole if you set it on it's side. You squeeze the bottle, and it wets the coil, and the excess juice gets sucked back down into the bottle. Nothing but saturated cotton ready for a few massive hits is present in the chamber. Because you don't have to drip 15+ drops into it like with traditional RDA use, you can use barely any cotton at all. IMO, this frees up airflow around the coil and is something of a step above from regular RDA use and performance.
Throw it in your pocket any which way, upside down, it ain't leaking. Set it down upright, on it's side, doesn't matter.
With the Super T stuff you can get the locking button (which is unique and nice) or purchase a regular flat non-locking button. It won't fire when standing upright from what I know, but I wouldn't be throwing the non-locking button in my pocket.
I would also add if your hellbent on getting a "tube" mod, personally I'd lean towards a Super T. Besides there indeed being flashier stuff out there, it's bullet proof and time tested. A classic, if you will. I think the precise design is going on 4 years old now? And realize when you buy one you get a no hassle lifetime service with it. If you damage it, send it in for a spa treatment.
Both Reo and Super T put up the goods and back it up with confidence. Knowing that makes purchasing either one a step above in your experience as a customer. These two American mech mod manufacturers set the bar and clearly make you feel your money is well spent on real quality product and not just hype. I'm not implying there aren't other great mechs out there, just saying these two guys are unquestionable.
Like i said though, I'm biased. I ditched tubes several months ago for good. RDA's are definitely my only preferred vape, so the Reo and it's added functionality is just about as perfect as it gets for my needs. I still occasionally use an Origen on a Hammer at home, but yeah, squonking a real RDA on a Reo has pretty much spoiled me. Everything else seems inferior to grab and go with. The only thing I could think of to make it more perfect, is to magically make it regulated over 30W+ and still be in the bullet proof little package it's in. Maybe in a few years technology will make that happen, eh? Till then...
Cheers
Perhaps a semantics problem here. I shouldn't have said tank, i should have said atty.
My bad, sheesh
However, I still found that either the drip tip hung, or the atty's cap came off, then the cotton bed would soak juice into my pocket.
I love it, but its how it went for me carrying around my REO.
I would still recommend it, though.

+1 for the Reo The RM2 Rob's BF atomizer has a screw on cap not much chance of it coming off in your pocket I have 2 Reo's and my mini 2.1 is so small I can't believe how good it performs for such a small mod even with an 18490 the battery lasts all day
[/URL][/IMG]
it does come with a magnetic switch, yes. TRUST ME! quality wise, the right clones perform just as good as an original
I like my Patriot....never liked the screw on i ordered with it.
Dont even know the name of that RDA.
May have to give it a go again to see.
Anyways, what kind of topper do you want to run?
Sorry for the thread highjacking.
Also, if you notice, you arent getting reccomendations for the newest stuff.
Not saying anything is wrong with them, its just that Super T and REO are long time participants with a proven track record, that all reviews and users that have had them grade highly.
Did you get anything yet?
As for the clone comment...you cloners are like seventh day adventists going door to door, lol.
Some clones do good, yes. Craploads dont, though.
Seems like every other thread is about clone fixes, but the same posters in the fix threads will be in a different thread preaching that the same clone he needs a fix for a screwed up button or something is as good as the original.
Suspicious to me. Nothing wrong in my mind with buying a clone, as long as you are honest about what to expect, and what you are getting

Still haven't decided which one I'm getting. Was about to pull the trigger on the Akuma but held back because I am not sure about getting something copper yet. I have also been looking at the bay city mods. I read that they have a 0 voltage drop, pretty crazy!
Any reviews on the bay city stuff?
Thanks to everyone for all of the reviews!!

Be aware that the 0 voltage drop is testing the mod only, not with the battery.
Voltage drop is a spiky issue - as it will vary depending on so many factors. I never worried about it much...as long as it's not outrageous, you will build the coil at whatever works for you. Especially since the atty is inbetween you and the mod.
If you are looking for just a pure power vape, The Amerivape Manhattan is probably one of the top competion mods out there.
What are you looking for out of a mod? Seems you are going in a different direction. Common in mod shopping. You might change directions a few more times
The REO and Super T are the rock solid, built to spec for durability and real world use, not so much for style. The palladium contacts instead of gold or silver for example. Without that cost, I am sure money for style could have been spent. I prefer the low maintenance and durability though.
Too many times have I had a mod's v drop change dramatically after a few months.
It seems like you are veering out of the tried and true into the trendy. (nothing meant by that - get what makes you happy )
Good luck getting a Bay City mod though....a real low volume mod mostly pre ordered locally.

I just read somewhere here on the forum that the new xxix can actually support the switch from the GP Paps....does anyone here know if that is true?

My biggest thing in my search right now is something that is quality in functionality and also appealing in looks. I want something thats going to give me a great hit consistently and also have a great switch.
I love it when everything looks perfectly flush from the atty down. I want buttery smooth threads and quality craftsmanship. I really love how the stuff from super t looks, but the fact that my atty's aren't going to sit flush kinda throws me off from there.
I kinda like the idea of copper, but it does kinda suck how tarnished it gets just by touching it and then the need for polishing it. But I guess if i'm spending money on a nice mod, I should be cleaning and taking care of it anyways!
I checked out the Manhattan but it uses a magnetic switch, I cant have that. I would love to use one but I cant have it on my at work if it has magnets in it. I know I'm jumping around with what I want, but there are so many options out there! Just want to make sure I'm getting something that isn't going to fall apart in my hands.
Yah, you would have to get an ELA to sit flush at 22mm. That's said, would have an ELA....
Some tips then -
Make sure that if it's a bottom button, that the locking ring is reverse threaded. There are a surprising amount of mods where this is not the case.
As for the copper/brass, it's not the polishing that gets me - its the scratches. Kind of like swirls on a black car's clear coat.
If v drop is important to you, veer away from side buttons.
As for buttons, therein lies a conundrum. A lot of popular mods out there have some button issues. Since super t is out, Paps and the Titanide have the best buttons in the game.
So does REO.
I have always liked Castle's buttons as well

Isn''t the ELA a hybrid? Or wait...it has a top cap that supports other 510 attys i see.
Those Titanide's look crazy!! The do go over my budget that I've given myself...Didn't really want to go over $200 for this. i've signed up on domovapor for the waiting list for a paps. It seems like i'll have to also order the tubes for the 18650's correct?
Yea, I had one that wasn't reverse threaded...I gave it away in 3 days, it ...... me off way too much!
I do want a bottom button mod, I'm come to love them and thats what i'm used to.
Do you know if the GP Paps switches can be used on other devices?

I have heard nothing but good things about the Reo Grand, although I have no experiance with them personally. I am, however, a huge supporter of the Silver Bullet from Altsmoke. Love them! Have 2, am getting a third, and will one day soon get the Silver Bullet - M. You really only need one (they're that good)..... I have more for color variation.
Okay so I think I've made a decision....I think.
I am going to wait for either a GP Paps or the surfrider/xxix.
I'm on the waiting list for both of them right now, which ever one comes back sooner i'll scoop it up!
I was seriously thinking about the super t with the strata rda....but i've been reading mixed things about it. i'll keep reading up on it and maybe i'll grab that one if the waiting lists take too long

I would go for the Lux.
The Bay City stuff is working on body conductivity. Just in case my avatar didn't tip you off, I work in electronics. While the mods that are built today can certainly be improved, body connectivity isn't the way to go in portable devices. It's asking for cross device shorts. The design is certainly an innovation, and it's thinking in the right direction, but it's the wrong method.
Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful device, and I will be interested to see how it does over time, especially with regards to maintaining v drop.
