Reo Grand and a Cyclone with dual coils at 0.4 ohms and rayon. This has been my ADV since I got the Cyclone a couple of months ago.

DIY juice rounds out the vape. I can adjust my recipe to help me get exactly what I want from the hardware. This won't fix bad hardware, but it does put the finishing touch on the setup.

how can you not have the desire to improve the quality!? not matter what it is; vaping, working out, video games, painting etc i MUST improve!

You asked Rick, but I wanted to give my opinion because I find myself in the same position for the first time in 2 1/2 years of vaping. I've vaped clearos, cartos, Genisis RBAs, a few different drippers and a couple of Kayfun type RBAs. Every time I discovered the next level of satisfaction in my vape, it was good for a few months and then I found myself wanting more. I started making my own juices somewhere between the cartos and the Genies.

After working through the above progression, I tried a bottom feeder and loved it. Then I bought a Reo and a RM2 and found dependability to go with the system's performance. I prefer dual coil drippers so I bought a Cyclone. The combination of bottom feeder, small dual coil atty, rayon wicks and DIY juice is everything I need to be satisfied with vaping. Yes there is still room for improvement, that will probably never end, but this improvement is not something I need to be satisfied, it is just a bonus I will accept if it presents itself.

You say you must improve in all things no matter what, but I doubt you really mean that. Is there nothing in your life that grounds you that you would not change?

I know vaping is not quite that deep, but you're the one who said everything must improve. IMO once something gets good enough, it's, well, good enough :)

Assuming the question isn't rhetorical you have to try a Reo setup and make your own decision about what needs to be improved. As it stands a Reo solves most of the problems that come up in never ending threads on ECF regarding mechanicals.

It's a one piece body. So that solves all the voltage drop, conductivity and crossed/seized threading problems with tooby mods. Since it doesn't have those problems to begin with what's to improve?

The bottom feed system gives you all the pluses of dripping and eliminates the hassle. Rob is actually working on an improvement right now to the feed tube to the bottom of the 510 connector, making it larger to work better with certain BF attys that are kind of "tight" on feeding. But it's not like this is being done because the existing design is crap. It's being done because people keep trying atty after atty - and a lot of those attys could use some design improvement.

The switch parts were updated in the last six months for sub ohm capability down to 0.2 ohm. Any prior Reos can be retrofitted with the new switch parts. What a concept: a product that can be upgraded instead of tossing the old one to get the new one. Same applies to the new 510 connector if anyone feels the need for it.

If he can improve anything about the design he does. But there isn't a lot of wiggle room here because of flaws in the Reo design to begin with. It's proven itself by being in the marketplace and selling for over four years now. I can fix it in the unlikely event that's ever needed and if Rob can find any way to upgrade anything about it he does. Name me another mechanical that has both those options on the table?

Gotta go. Was just in a thread about some guy who couldn't get his top cap off his copper mod. Then he couldn't get the atty off the top cap. Last he reported he stripped the threads on the 510 connector, because he had to use the atty to remove the top cap. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/apv-discussion/592033-4nine-top-cap-stuck.html

Yeah - lot's of stuff out there that needs improvement. A Reo? Not so much.
