Hey all,

I LOVE freshly dripped juice on a good homemade coil atop my favorite rig as much as the next person BUT...what do you all vape during the day or when out and about ?

I know the hardcore guys got 2 ucans holstered on their belt along with a nicely folded juice rag tucked away at all times but for the others what do you vape when not using your RDA toppers? .

I have enough PVs for now but I'm at a complete loss in terms of toppers I should try ?

Without having to spend an entire holiday weekend watching Pete busardo reviews (even though I love him) What are a couple good ones that are out there now ? Looking to buy 1 or 2 non kayfun RTAs and 1 good clearo (if such a thing exists) .

Thanks much !

What's wrong with the Kayfuns? :blink: That was what I was going to suggest.

If Kayfun-style tanks are out, the only RTA left would be a Genny. I wouldn't recommend a Genesis-style tank if you don't want a Kayfun. Most of them leak if not kept upright and are a general PITA IMHO. Higher learning curve and wick issues. Good luck with this one.

Have you considered a cartotank? I consider them a step between clearos and RBA's.

The only clearomizer I might recommend, solely from reviews, would be the Aspire Nautilus or the Kanger Aerotank, because of their adjustable airflow.

Lately I've been using my Magma for during the day. When full, it will last for upwards of 35 hits because it's got such a high ohm build on there. It defies all laws of vaping! lol just messing, it is pretty cool that an RDA can last that long on one refill though!

If I'm not using that, then I'll be using my Nautilus and soon to come Kayfun. It's weird, I haven't had the problems that people have been reporting lately with the Nautilus, at all. Knock on glass!

I, too, love dripping. When possible, I'll be out and about with a copper 4nine clone and either a Magma, Trident clone, or my copper TOBH clone. I keep a 15ml bottle of juice and my 4nine is in 18650 mode with a VTC5. The combo works great, unless you have a long drive. And the 18650 lasts all day with a 0.7 ohm build. If I happen to grab an atty that's currently built lower, I'll carry an extra 18650.

For days where I know I'm in the car for a bit, I'll opt for a Provari Mini with a Kayfun Lite Plus or a Smoketech RSST. A Kayfun, built at 1.2 ohms or so, on a Provari at 4.2v vapes very well. If you're use to a really airy draw, though, it may not be for you. The RSST is a genesis style atty. it is true that if left on its side for an extended period of time, it will leak. But because of the fill hole plug, if you only lay it on its side for a few minutes, it's fine. I build mine with ss mesh and also build it to 1.2 ohms.

While I've never owned a cartotank, I think cartos are a great out and about vape, as well. It's a very convenient system, though there is a learning curve for filling and priming it properly before use.

The Reo seems like a great option, as well, offering you dripping with a big ol'tank. I also don't own one of these yet, but can definitely see this being a traveller's mod/atty/tank of choice.

For me, though, what I have is working. So for now, I travel with a 4nine + RDA + a bottle juice or a Provari + Kayfun/RSST combo.

3. My vision spinner 2 with aspire nautilus atop with carmillobean

4. My mvp v2 with vision vfate atop with zeus juice konioes kooler

5. And my other vision spinner 2 with kanger modified aerotank atop with lemonade in it

I gave up dripping on the go. For me its usually a Protank II with, what else, a cotton wicked coil, either a stock 1.8Ω or one I re-coiled with 32Ga kanthal . Other times it will be a Gennie with a cotton wick in it. These seem to give me great taste and minimal hassle. My Kafun EH Pro lite just sits there, I don't know why, but it just doesn't snap my trigger...

Thanks for all the info all!
Good info baditude n others !
Been meaning to maybe try an aspire nautilus
I have only 1 kayfun clone and I haven't had good luck with it so far (I'm sure it's 90 percent the user (me) and whether it's good or not . (The only other topper I have is like a kayfun rocket I think they call
It and has worked g
But your right 1.2 ohms and reasonable wattage is where ya want to be at with them.
Regarding reo - I have used a reo for the last 4 years plus ! Worked like a charm with my cartos and never had problems with them. However, do to some bad luck my reo collection of 1 vv reo, 2 mech reos is now done to 1 mech reo which is about 5 years old. One thing I don't like about them is not being able to tune in the voltage/wattage. I would die for a juice feeder that has a good vv/vw component to it...

Getting back to original question: yeah I acquired some units (as I previously just had reos.. Acquired 1. MVP 2. Cana -DNA 30 (which has been a mistake - well built and great clone I just didn't do my homework and I don't like the 4 volt minimum required (prefer low ohms and low volts 3. hades mechanical 26650 clone (works great)

I just have no toppers at all really for these - ill re read the suggestions you guys made. Ill get one RDA topper just to have - someone mentioned one with a big well. - that might be nice - but yeah I'm definitely a tank/hassle free guy now - I paid my dues with dripping (have some ruined favorite shirts to prove it) .

Thanks again- if anything else pops up please let me know - much appreciated

if your going to try a Nautilus, get the mini. best air flow of the two, although the original with the BVC coils is decent. I have a VS rDNA and run a R91 and the Nautilus mini on it, and reo

Whay do you mean by the air flow 9n yhe mini is better? More airy? Less airy? Got on coming in vape mail
