I've been off of this forum for a while. I also stopped making e-cigarette related videos on YouTube. I was happy with my Reo and Unflavored e-liquid. Unflavored is something I'm still happy with, but I'm getting a bit bored with this setup. I'm currently debating on going to a regulated setup and rda. However, when I look up on the sites. I see a lot of 200w mods and even up to 300w. I see mods that require 4 18650s which is also a bit crazy to me.

I want to go to a vape shop, but I know they'll be more expensive but there isn't much of a selection. I'm thinking I want 100w, but I'm not sure I want to deal with 18650s anymore. RDAs, do they make normal 2 or 3 posts RDAs that are good? I see a lot of new ones that would confuse me the first few times I try to build on them.

Thank you for your time!

What do you want? Big air, big clouds and good flavor? Get a Goon. Single coil with restricted air and incredible flavor? Get a Narda or a Hadaly.

100w mod? Dunno. I have a bunch of vapedroid c1d2 dna 75's. It's a really small, very well built 26650 for around $120.

If you plan to continue squonking, I got no suggestions. I'm sold on the REO. You already have one.

You could get an Asmodus Oni DNA 167 and upgrade it to Lipo...it's already prepped for it, just need to buy the battery. (that also unlocks it to 250w iirc)

100w mod without 18650s...hmmm....something with a built in battery pack, like a Innokin MVP4. Only drawback to that is the battery will eventually wear out, and unless you're very tehnically inclined, you'd have to replace the mod. You could always get a DNA mod with a built in lipo, and pretty much have all the vaping power you need (plug and play lipo: once it wears out, just replace) like the Oni I mentioned. Easily vape it between 50-100w and have sufficient capacity to go most of the day without recharging. The DNA 250s have built in 2a charging so all you'd need is a robust micro usb cable and charger capable of delivering 2a.

The consensus now is DNA mods are the best, they have a fancy software called E-Scribe that allows total customization of your vape experience. There are many choices with DNA chip mods. Dual 18650's are the most popular for the convince of just swapping batteries. There are Lipo powered DNA mods also, only draw back is the mod has to be plugged in via usb to charge.

I dont do much dripping, but I can say the velocity style deck is very easy to build & wick for dual coil builds.
If your a single coil RDA guy, the Narda & Hadly have awesome flavour.

I don't really plan to continue with squonking when I switch up mods. Big clouds are meh to me but if that comes with the type of vaping style I enjoy than so be it.

I'll look into the Asmodus Oni. I haven't used a mod with a lipo yet.

The massive 100+ watt mods are needed to fire the fancy art coils.
They use a huge mass of metal, and have terribly long ramp up times unless you use a ton of power.

If you use normal round wire coils you wont need all that in a mod.

I'm not really big on fancy coils. Most I do is twisted 28g or 26g.

Thank you for the suggestions. I remember DNA being out last I looked, but that was when the DNA 200s were just coming out.

There are quite a few DNA's now 250,200, 75 & 60. The 75 & 60 are usually single 18650 configuration.
250 & 200's are only capable of the full number if equipped with the right batteries. In dual 18650 mode they max out at 166 & 133 watts respectively. The dual 18650 configurations have all the power you need & good battery life to :)
