What's your favorite all time Ecig/PV, that doesn't let you down, or taste burnt or die, or break the bank or suck. I'm talking all categories here best PV all around. I currently have a 510 and am looking to move on to something a little more "serious." Does your fave have high battery life, good vapor production, consistent vapor/TH (juice is factored of course), is it asthetically pleasing, is it affordable, is it reliable/durable, would you keep it over your new born child.

Just give a quick pro/con list of your e-cig (not a personal dramtic life-long relationship experience with it) I want this to be as precise and informative as possible.

Thanks guys, Happy Healthy vaping. Merry Vapemass (vaping should have its own holiday ex. first day vaping last day smoking) :p

Tie between the Reo Grande and the Phidias. Both have great battery life. Reo is practically indestructible and I like the larger bottle -- easily lasts all day. But there is something about the feel of the Phidias... gorgeous piece that just feels right.

As far as affordable... I'd rather have a good piece that lasts than junk I have to replace (and usually at the worst times).

Put either the Reo Grande or the Phidias with a good atty or carto and they are perfect. I have Boba's Bounty in the Phidias and Gorilla Juice in the Reo -- now the only choice is which one to pick up!

The burnt taste thing isn't really the PVs fault. It's what you use on it and how you use it. Unless you're using something like a GGTS with a UFS, you're going to run that risk. That combo does break most people's bank.

I'll put a vote in for the e-power. It's similar to an ego in styling but it uses generic 1050 MAH batteries. The batteries cost about $5.00 to replace. It's all modular and the parts can be replaced separately.

You should really check out Apex Alpha /Ultra/Max/ (different batteries 3,7v or 6v and size) with RES from Innovapor.com Smart filling system, taste and th is like dripping on steroids without any hazel. Innovativ switch. Sturdy built with 10 year guaranty. Very great customer service. Those Innovapor guys are the best.

I'll throw in another vote for the Pure Smoker Prodigy V3. It's all mechanical, which means it won't ever die on you. I've had mine for a little over a year and have never had any problems with it at all. And it's versatile. All it takes is a battery swap to go from 6v to 3.7v.

If you want something smaller and don't mind being limited to 3.7v, the Icon is basically the same thing, just smaller, lighter, and more pocket friendly.

My favorite is the Silver Bullet from Altsmoke. It's very well built, durable, takes 18650 batt's that last all day and then some, very consistent, and nicely finished. It'll do 6v if I want also.

As far as a burnt taste, it's more a matter of your choice of atty and juice that causes that.

The SB is my favorite-never lets you down.

I like my REO's- the Grand is HEAVY. I didn't notice it so much at first, but fully loaded, and using it for a couple of weeks it's sorta bugging my wrists. I don't have issues with my wrists- and I don't think it's causing any, it's just heavier than I would like. The Mini is great- and I need to grab another one. Battery life on it with 14500's is only so-so for me. I like 18650's for their long lives, but not in love with the size of 'em.

The E-Power is nice, the Roughstack from Madvapes is nice, the Volcano Inferno System is nice too. I've been thinking about a GLV Mini with a Tank-O-Matic, but that's not absolutely ideal for me either. Can't beat it for tiny, and cute though.

After getting the REO's- I refuse to drip. I'm over it, and not going back.

There really isn't one perfect e-cig...it all comes down to what you like, and what your lifestyle is.

I have used the 510 the Blu the Ego and now the Prodigy V3.1. The Prodigy I have been using for several months now at 6 volts and Im starting to think 6 volts is a little to much. When you put your fresh charged batts on the V3.1 it tends to burn to hot for a while.

My next PV will most certainly be the Helix from ELP.

It really is subjective. All cones down to what is important to you, battery life, juice fed or not, aesthetics...

My fav is the Darwin. It's pricey, but it charges via usb and its power regulated. Simply, adjust wattage to your preference, put any atty/carto on it, and Darwin regulates the voltage for you to stay at your wattage preference. The first vape is identical to the last, no drop as the battery discharges as every other mod, right now, has an issue with. Only thing I would have different is I would like it to have a juice feed system. But, a tank takes care of that. They are sold on nhaler.com. Good luck.
