Whats the hip/improved setup now a days?

[chillaxing]

For the mod Wismec Rouleaux RX200 (3x 18650 TC mod)
For a RTA TFV4
For a rda Velocity or Velocity Mini both are great...

I'd recommend getting them all along with 3x LG HG2's

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm thinking of ordering the rx200 and velocity. Don't need a rta since I'm gonna use my kayfuns.
I see clones for the velocity. Are the clones ok or should I get the real deal?

Also anyone know what's the setup from the picture?

Rx 200 will hold up to a 30 mm tank.....I like the new xcube2..and the snowwolf..the Rx 200 holds 3 18650 and is kinda funny shaped, but A LOT of ppl love em. I think they are a good mod just not for me I guess

 

[steam heat]

Also try the tfv4 tank. It chucks huge clouds and has great flavor an its top fill.... The tfv4 is 24.5 mm and the mini is 22mm.check it out before ya buy any new tank cus this thing is a beast! hope this helps ya out

Actually the rx200 is kind of bulky. Any mod that will put out that kind of power but still stay sleek? I know I said I'm wanting to stay in budget, but I'm willing to go up to $200. I rather stay at $50 though

Sigelei 150w or 200w maybe?

It's really not bulky. Stunningly so actually.
A tad heavy for it's size though, nothing you can do about the weight of three 18650s.

For power above around 150w, all the dual 18650 mods pulse to provide it. Is that real?
Besides the few triple 18650 units, you would need to go LiPo... ala DNA. $$$.

For the Velocity "Mini"... Tobeco created it, there's no Mini from the original maker (who is that?).
So... it's not a "clone". More like a case of intellectual property theft.

But I like mine... a lot. The RX too... it's just a fun mod.

The RX200 with its 3 batteries is designed to be easier to grip than most 2x18650 mods. The triangulated design reduces finger reach.

My Tobeco Velocity Mini was $15 at VapeNW.
Gotta call that the better deal.

To be honest there is no hip e cig out there , everything that i used two years ago i still use today and it works great .

Just know your preferences and stick to it and enjoy . Only difference today is mods that are capable of much higher wattage and temp control , the design of mods change but other than that they all do the same thing.

There is a huge majority of vapors that still prefer Kayfuns and the overwhelming majority of vapors DO NOT sub ohm .

Sub ohm tanks have exploded onto the scene however and most new vapors think sub ohm tanks and high wattage mods are the standard starting setup (which is completely wrong ) imo but they don't know anything else really exists so it's understandable.

I broke my MTL when I went sub-ohm. There's no going back for me.

The RX200 looks big and bulky, but I've found the shape and size comfortable. Here are a few mod pics. Left to right they are Sigelei 150 (dual 18650 batts), RX200 (3 18650s), Sigelei 75 TC (single 18650), Reo Grand (single 1865), and a Nemesis (18650).

The Sigelei 150 is the old one without TC. It's the same size as the new Sig 150 TC and the 100 watt models. I think of it as 'the brick' but after about a year it has proven to be a really good mod. It doesn't actually max out at 150 watts, but I'm never over about 60 watts so that doesn't bother me.

The RX200 is more comfortable in my hand than the Sig 150. My glove size is men's large, but my hand will fit snug into a medium. The body seems to be die cast, so I don't know how well it would handle being dropped. It's significantly heavier than the 150 with its aluminum enclosure, but it does have the extra battery in it also. I've only had it for about a week, but it's performed great so far. Vaping at my typical 40-45 watts means I get a over a day from a battery charge. And at $40 from Vapenw it doesn't break the bank. Time will tell how dependable it is.

The only way you can get a high watt mod that's small is to use LiPo batteries, however you won't get the runtime from them that you'll get from 18650s. Unless you use a large pack and then the size goes up again.

depends on if your purchasing 1 thing or a dozen and saving $80+

 

[Jim_ MDP]

Very well illustrated Ryedan.
I've written before comparing the Reuleaux to my xCube, i100 etc., even how it feels smaller than my own single cell Sig75. But again... a picture is worth a thousand words (especially the way I ramble).

Quite so, however...
In my limited experience, I have ten or so RDAs, none pricy, but from the major "cloners"... Tobeco, EHPro etc. All under $25. Each has done what it says on the tin and none have gone bad.

Then there's the handful of $6 "styled" drippers I've had. Each was bought for one purpose... to get an idea of how the particular design "philosophies" of the authentic felt. Dark Horse, Samurai, etc.
Not a one lasted through two builds before some component gave up the ghost.

They did what I bought them for and served their purpose, but I'd never rebuy any of them.

The hip new thing is to just go from nothing to a 200W mod, ask any newbie, thats the impression theyre getting nowadays

Just get a RX200 (some people must have that permanently in their clipboard cache around here)....i mention my TreeBox a handful of times and get trolled for over exposing the forum to it....go figure...

Used to be, to be cool, you got a tatt, now you buy a 200W vape mod (works best if you get one powered by only two batteries to get that real sense of danger and being edgy, or get an RX200 with 3 batteries and questionable wire gauges in its wiring...same thing) and blow your face off

Or you could get a 60-75w temp control mod and live the rest of your life at a sedate old persons wattage of 27-40w, yet as if by some weird magic, have a fully satisfying vape. I tell you these temp control mod people are using some crazy magic to get user enjoyable clouds out of just one battery at low watts. As ive said on here before, recently at our last vape meet, we had our first entrant in the cloud comp using temp control - this uncool sensible watt heathen came second...actually he technically came first as it was decided by clapping and yahooing and we punked him a bit.

Much like Patrick Bateman, i look to Huey Lewis - Its Hip To Be Square

Now if you'll excuse me, its getting draughty and i want to go and put my cardigan on....

Lol, I have a Treebox and an RX200 on the desk right now

RX200 and an Indulgence MT:

Not sure what you are even attempting to imply. Many of the RDA's I own carry those manufacturers names and Price is choice of place of purchase. Strangely enough, many Black box items actually come from the same machinery out of the same factories made by the same people.

But then, you would know better.

Just picked up 4 Tobeco Magma RDA's for flavor testing. These go with several I already own. $35.80 shipped/USA for the lot.

Oddly, not one RDA or RTA I have ever purchased has failed. Maybe ownership has its privileges after all.

 

[inspects]

I bought six of the RX200's...simply for the battery life...I can go days without even looking at the battery level. Seldom do I vape above 40 watts.

Your snark is misplaced (and your final thought unintelligible), especially as you don't mention owning any of those ultra cheap "styled" toppers you recommended to someone else.
