Well, generally in order, I've used:

- Standard eGo (650mAh batts) with 510 atty/cart - Worked fine for a few weeks, got tired of small carts always running dry.
- eGo Mega batts with mega (type B) atty/carts - Worked much better, was my favourite combination for quite a while.
- eGo-T (Type A and B) - Didn't work for me; muted throat hit, muted flavour, anemic vapor.
- eGo batts with dual coil cartomizers - Replaced everything I'd used before, loved them.
- 510 with cartomizers - Got this for my wife, she didn't care for them, but I used them for a while as an alternative when I wanted something small and light.
- eGo batts with eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizers - Replaced regular dual coils and are still my favourite cartomizers.
- Currently using ProVari with the above EMDCCs. Awesome combination. Going to try the CE2X Fluxomizer Deluxe next.

Right now I prefer the mini REO with a standard 510 atty....liquid is 60/40


..(boy ...that is tiny print !)

I know, right! Makes me feel old to say that.:laugh:

Mine is my ego. First and only pv. Some boge, dual coil cartos, or echo-e cartos, nhalers nuport juice and I'm in vaping heaven!

Forgive me but, what is a bottom feeding mod?
It is generally a box setup that has a bottle near the base of the unit that you pump your juice directly to the cartomizer or attomizer. RIOs, Monkey boxes, Revolution, and many DIY mods are good examples of bottom feeders.

I use a Boge Revolution currently. I am currently using a tobacco flavor mixed with butterscotch and caramel. In the future I will cut out the tobacco flavor all together. I'm just too cheep to throw any thing away. I haven't been vaping for two weeks yet and I am already obsessing about building a 6-volt variable voltage bottom-feeding mod using a dual cartomizer. I still have to work on the plans and justify the expense to my spouse.

The best and easiest I've found is variable volt (VV) PV w/ 1.6ohm dual coil and about 12mg light colored eliquid.

DIY VV costs about $15 plus batt, charger, liquid and carto.
Cheap VV Mods start around $30 up to more than $200.

3.7v is ok if everything is matched perfect; best if you have some experience.
I like Jazz cartopipe especially in public.
I like Roughstack for tough pocket friendly PV.
Analog size auto batt for hands free.

KR808D-1 with Boge 3.0 ohm or G6 cartomizers. Best liquid so far is Johnson Creek Tennesee Cured and Quick nic Juice Cinnamon Red Hot (double flavor) and French Toast. I HATED Virgin Vapor's Kona Coffee Milkshake; just remember tastes are gonna be different for everyone.

Wow, you left me in the dust!

Well, my problem was that things generally started off pretty good until I got tired of the negative aspects of whatever I was using at the time, so I kept chasing the next best thing hoping it would give me what I was really looking for. (Turns out what I really needed was stronger juice -- which I did take care of -- but unfortunately that occurred right around the time I was trying the B-type tanks, so I had awesome juice from Vaperite but this crappy tank system that wasn't doing it for me.) In the end, the cartos settled the VTF side of the equation, and the ProVari have now settled the power/performance/versatility side. Cartos still aren't quite perfect (the only thing I loved about tanks was the ability to quickly change juices; can't do that with cartos) so I'm hoping that despite the lack of capacity, those new Fluxomizers might be the answer.

Hmm ... is this the vape equivalent of chasing the dragon?

Mindfield, what are the odds that you'd give your ProVari to a poor starving vaper (namely....me?)

Well, I am overdue for a concussive head injury, soooooo ... shall we say, not quite zero? :)

510 (standard size and mega xl) manuals w/ Boge standard resistance cartomizers (slim batteries should only use standard resistance, not the hotter low resistance stuff)

KR808D-1 (Vapor4Life) standard size manuals /w Vapor4Life WOW cartomizer blanks

Riva 510 (the new model from Liberty-Flights.com) - a popular Ego clone, 750mah, can use low resistance stuff but also adds a bit of extra heat to standard resistance 510 stuff.

Common to all - manual batteries (what most people here use and recommend) and cartomizers (I think how most people prefer to vape their favorite juices)

I pretty much just use dual coil cartos with my Riva and eGo batteries.
I've tried cartridge/atomizers, 510-T tanks, eGo type A tanks, and various gotvapes contraptions (Vision, FLuxomizer, Sapphire, etc.). The dual coils are by far the most satisfying so far.

Mindfield: maybe with your higher voltage the fluxomizers will work out better for you, but to me they gave hits that felt like what I got from the 510-T/eGo tanks. I didn't get the bad wicking, burnt taste from fluxomizers (like I did from the tanks), but the hits feel sort of cool and seem to lack TH.
