I will not comment on juices as I have WAY over extended myself when it comes to these.

Here are my priorities when I choose vaperphernalia:


1.) Flavor delivery
2.) Ease of use
3.) Vapor production
4.) Throat hit


You see that list and know that I am SO easy to please (not so). I have had to learn so much about so many techniques and then discard the ones that just have not worked for me. I may have not spent enough time mastering them but read #2 (above) again.


My battery/mod choices (listed by preference):


1.) ProVari
2.) Vamo (V3)
3.) Plain old eGo
4.) Itaste MVP


My tank system choices are also listed by preference (all are with Boge cartos when allowed):


1.) Phiniac tank
2.) Loki Lab tank
3.) ProTank
4.) Vermillion River quartz glass tank
#.) I am NOT a plastic clearo fan


I have tried the RBA tanks and found that there are WAY TOO MANY variables involved to get that perfect vape. I don't want to spend the next eleven years figuring out the perfect coil/wick material and/or wrap. Again, #2 in my first list signifies that! Do I sound like a lazy vaper? YOU BET! As long as I am getting the flavor I expect and am looking for then I'm happy! Don't be hatin' me for my personal preferences. This is just where I currently stand. Three months from now this post may look different but, after 19 months of nothing but vape, this is where I stand.

Let's talk ease of use, flavor, and vapor production. Until last week, my setup was, exclusively, an eGo battery underneath an LR 306 atomizer--juice varied, but was mostly Dekang.
Now, it's a Vamo V2 underneath an LR 306 atomzier, juice from Dekang.
I was in Missouri, where vaping is big, two weeks ago, and all the dudes in this tiny B&M shop had mods underneath tanks, and they all remarked about my vapor production.. especially when they saw my tiny little eGo under my tiny little 306. Get simple, bro! You don't need that giant tank!

Hey, I currently have 11 eGos fully charged and one on the charger. I always have at least seven tanks going with my favorite juices and the ones I am trying out. I have at least fourteen juices waiting to sample. My favorite juices usually reside atop my favorite mods. Here again, my list can change within three months!

using the vamo v3 with a kanger protank and strawberry lemonade 24 mg nic juice. really love the protank, its easy to use and i like the airy draw. the vamo is great for the price, but im sure there are better mods. the strawberry lemonade juice is amazing. grabbed a 30 ml bottle for 4 bucks from vapor phoenix when they were liquidating their supplies.

Price and ease.

I won't buy any delivery device that can't be rebuilt, now.

I DIY and rebuild almost exclusively. I've settled on two tobacco blends, wintergreen, and spearmint for now.

I still only vape 2-3 mL/day, so while I have larger batteries, VV eGos, evods, and vivi minis rule the day. My RBA serves as a taste-tester more than anything. My cig-a-likes have super-strong juice in the cartos for very quick trips, formal occasions, and emergencies.

I'm standing much better now that I can DIY and rebuild. I can stock up months in advance for very little money and space than if I was buying proper juice and replacement heads and cartos.

Including equipment (assuming for the sake of this post that I buy new equipment every four months), I vape as much as I want for under $0.25 a day. It's probably much less than that, but I'm not calculating right now.

There may be better mods but I do LOVE my Vamo! (Yes, I do own some of those better mods.)

My go to setup is a Z-Atty-Pro on my Provari. RBAs aren't rocket science and it is easy to learn how to get that "perfect vape" setup. My wife has been running with Kanger T3s which I have been rebuilding for her, but she tends to go through coils more quickly than either of us like. She got her first Re-buildable dripper yesterday and so far it is a hit. As others have said, I won't invest in anything I can't rebuild.
