Hi guys. I've been vapimg for almost a year now and I want to buy new mod and new tank but I am kind of stuck here.
My first mod was 20W small mod with Aspire Nautilus mini.
My second (current) mod is Innokin Itaste MVP 3 Pro (60W) and Im using Kangertech Subtank Mini and just using RBA head all the time.
Now I want to buy new mod and 1 or 2 tanks (rebuildable) but Im not sure which ones are good and strong. I like Eleaf Istick 100W mod but I was thinking to maybe buy a temperature controled mod and I dont want to spend a lot of money.

So my mod options for now are:

Elaef Ipower 80W
Innokin coolfire 4 TC100
Siegel T150 touchscreen
Laisimo L1 200W TC
Joye Cuboid 150W TC
Eleaf iSmoka iStick 100W (no temp control)
Joyetech eVic-VT 60W 5000mAh

tanks:

IJoy Limitless RDTA
GeekVape Griffin 25
SmokTech TFV8 (but this one eats juice and has crazy low ohm so I afraid to buy it)
Goliath V2
Eleaf Lemo 2
Horizon Arctic V8
Uwell Crown Tank

These are just my options and what looks good to me.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks to the wonderful people at My Vapor Store I got the same order that had beed stolen for free. Im so happy now! After I was waiting for more than a month I finally got it! Im really thankful because my package was stolen because of USPS not because of MVS and they still decided to make me happy even if they are losing their money.

For DL, also take a look at the Crius Plus. Nice big velocity build deck, top and bottom airflow, and it doesn't leak. It is 25 mm, so it won't fit something like the Pico.

I didn't notice if you want TC or not. If so, while most mods will do it, you might also look at some of the DNA options out there. More money, but nice performance. Also, at this point in the vaping industry with all the regs going into effect, I would not buy a mod that does not have replaceable batteries.

I was looking at Griffin 25 too. Looks good. The other Im not familiar with it.
Hah, I am not either. I am literally just going off of the things I would like to see, and reviews. Any further insight from anyone that has experience would be fantastic.

August of last year, many recommended the Kanger Subtank Mini kit to start with, and it was an absolutely fantastic recommendation. I am still using it now. I definitely trust the hive mind of this forum, as far as good hardware.

Wait for the new Wismec Reuleaux RX2/3 TC Mod. They just updated the board the 510 pin to gold, And whatever else I don't know, but It's new and 200 watts of power for 50 bucks.
Again, Wismec will never get another dime of my money! Look up some of the threads on here about their customer service, or total lack of it!
The Kayfun v5 is a DL RTA. Watch any of the You Tube reviews and you'll see what I mean; plus I have one and I'm a MTL Vaper and really was disappointed with the DL open draw of the KFv5. I expected a larger version of the KFMv3. Oh well they have come out with a retro kit to make it a tighter draw and MTL Vape though. But right out of the Box it's a D/L Vape. Surprise, Surprise!:lol::D:?:
Thank you for the clarification! Sorry about my assumption.
No it is certainly not; MTL as I stated is like smoking a Cigarette. Don't believe me look it up again ;)
Correct!

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I couldn't wait anymore, the anxiety is killing me, lol.

I went ahead and blew around $180 bucks on stuff! I got the Griffin 25 and the Limitless tanks. I picked up the Cuboid as well. Bought a bunch of cotton, wire, tweezers, batteries, and other crap too.

I was reading a post on reddit about the Griffin and Cuboid combination, and it didn't seem like the overhang was very noticeable (people say that the actual base of the Griffin was more on the order of 24mm).

Will see how this works out, hopefully well! Still going to be looking around for another base/mod at some point too. The Cuboid definitely seems like a solid choice. Thanks again!

Im gonna end up with the same things by the end of next week plus I bought Kayfun V5 clone. All I need is to finally mix some good ejuice and Im good. [emoji41][emoji106]

@MC Vape
Got my stuff in today, great birthday present for myself, haha. Here are some pictures. The Griffin 25 and the Limitless fit great on the Cuboid. Basically, zero overhang. Have only built the Griffin 25 coils up so far, moving from Wattage control only to this, is a large step. Time to go try building some TC coils on the Limitless.

Griffin 25 and Cuboid:

Limitless and Cuboid:

Disclaimer: Had to downgrade the quality from my phone, so sorry for the somewhat blurry/crappy pictures. No clue what the upload limit size is.

Overall, pretty happy thus far. Only complaints are, the Cuboid screen was somewhat scratched up when receiving it. I am not sure why they wrap plastic on the metal, and not the screen portion. The plastic is obviously going to scratch much easier in shipping.

I don't like that the fire button on the cuboid is on the opposite side of the mod than my Kanger Subtank Mini. Just some getting used to, I guess, but it feel more natural to hold it and fire with your thumb (and you can grip it better with your index finger on the top of the mod, to prevent drops.

Fire button on the Cuboid has a slight rattle. The battery door on the Cuboid doesn't sit flush with the base, so there is some wobble when setting it upright on a table.

Other than that, everything seems to be working great!

The Eleaf Istick 100w does have TC control. It's a very nice mod for the money! But for the same money, with thrifty shopping, you can get an Istick Pico, or Istick TC 200w. So a one, two or three battery mod, all do TC, all have more options than you and I will ever use and all can be had for around $40!
I'm a huge fan if you can't tell, I won't lie! I have a Pico and an Istick TC 200, I've used a TC 100 and probably would have bought it, but there was a sale and I got the 200w with three LGHG2's shipped for around $54? I wouldn't want it for my carry vape, the 100w or Pico are much better, and a lot lighter/smaller to carry.
All the tanks you've listed are above my limit, too airy for my MTL style of vaping, so I'm no help there at all, sorry. But I have an Avocado a Theorum and a TFV4. I like the Theorum the best, but Wismec will never get anymore of my money.

I will suggest for a mod the Vapor Shark Stout. 2650 Battery; it's 75 or 100 Watts, and a sturdy reasonably priced.
The Tank Kayfun v4 (Clone). Easy deck to build on; great flavor, nice 4.5ml juice capacity, & last but not least durable.
Oh wait once again reasonably priced.
Or if you like a more open draw to your Vape the Kayfun 5(Clone)
Please post on what you do finally get:thumb:

This is a DL hitter looking at the list, I don't see a KF being airy enough for them.

I've checked this Kayfun V5 tank. It looks like a lot of flavor type a tank. My question is if you put glass tank instead a metal one is there a change in flavor? I kind of like to see what is going on with my juice while I vape. [emoji51]
Another thing does it leak alot? For example Kanger mini barely leaks on me but sometimes it does especially after I wick it and vape with the same wick for 4-5 days.
Thanks

Well I've not had any Kayfun leak on me and Have had the real and Cliones of all models. B the Five does have good flavor along with a more open air flow; so it's more of a Direct Lung Vapor style. About the metal Tank instead of the glass. I hadn't noticed a flavor difference, but I'm with you that I like seeing the juice level.
I hope that I answered your questions.
I use a wick a week unless I want to change flavor
Enjoy
