where to go from k100+

[qui_chronjinn]

Helloooo. So ive been vaping on this k100 mod for a few months now, and Im starting to get a little tired of how crappy it is. any advice on the next step up in terms of mods? Variable voltage seems cool, but I'm kind of a klutzz and I'm not sure how much of a beating those things can take. My final question: what's a good mod under 200?

If you enjoy the taste of dripping, and using a mechanical mod, the REO is a great choice. It was a game changer for me.

It really depends what kind of vaping route you are getting into. Mechanicals are ideal for sub ohm vaping. I find Vv/Vw devices are more for those people who don't want anything to do with sub ohms and just want to put a tank on top and vape it. Of course, there are those who like rebuilding and still like that vv/vw devices. So it really varies aha.

That thing is sweet! I like the storage aspect, too. Thanks for the heads up!

I love rebuilding, Im just really bad at it. haha

Vv/Vw also seems pretty sweet for the whole "not blowing your face off" aspect, so I'll probably get into that at some point, too. I just know myself too well and I drop this thing all day.

Then a REO is perfect for you. Now they contain sub-ohm kits in all new metal REO's. You can drop it, run over it, have it fall out of your pocket while on a motorcycle going 60 MPH (true story for one of our REO folks), pick it up and keep on vaping. The motorcycle REO has a little road rash, but still keeps on vaping. Some have even gone swimming, dried off and keep on vaping.

I don't even mess with VV/VW any more. I get all the satisfaction I need from my builds on my RM2's (the Reomizer version 2)

Come on over if you are interested and have any other questions!

If you are dropping things all day and you love rebuilding a mechanical mod would be perfect for you. They are very durable as they are just a tube that holds a battery. I read in a thread about someone that dropped it on the road and before he could go back and retreive it, a van ran over it. The mod worked but had some scratches and he used a scotch brite pad to turn it from a polished SS mod to a brushed SS mod.

I personally wouldn't drop $200 for an authentic mod if I knew I would drop it quite a bit. I would get a cheap "beater" mod that you carry around with yourself and it would honestly be about what is astetically pleasing to you. Now to keep a mechanical mod in your home that won't get damaged much I would buy authentics as they are pieces of art and the small details really separate clones and cheap mods with the high end authentics.

He already has a mechanical mod - the Kamry 100. I have the K101 - I can tell you - the REO is my daily driver. I only use the Kamry now for taste testing new juices before I commit a bottle of juice to the REO.

I definitely get that. I want to get a nicer mod at some point, but right now it's the combination of constant dropping/being totally poor. I wish I had the funds to drop on something that expensive. Haha

The REO sounds like a solid option for the price. It looks like there's also blemished ones that are occasionally available for less money, but those probably get eaten up immediately.

They do get snatched up very quickly and you pretty much have to stalk the site daily - or you can get yourself verified to buy and sell in the classies here and buy one used as well. Or just go for it with a new one - you won't regret it - and if you decide it's not for you- they sell quickly in the classies.

I want a REO so badly. They seem worth the money.

But in the short term, there are some great mechanical clones out there that are inexpensive. I'm using a stingray clone right now and it was only $30, looks great, is well-built and performs well.

There are also some great vv mods that are relatively inexpensive. I have an itaste SVD which is vv/vw which I've abused for the last year. It's a tank in terms of durability and it only cost $37 for the basic mod.

I mean really you can find some great stuff for $20-$40.

+1 for the Reo. It's a great device & very durable. I sold all my other equipment & only use them now. Now's a great time to be checking them out too as the sub ohm kits have just been released so newly added devices on the Reosmods.com site will have the upgraded parts. Also, since you're new to rebuilding the Reomizer is a great RDA as far as ease of build goes (Reo does work great with regular atomizers/cartomizers if you're not ready to try RDAs yet). And they do have vv Reos if that's something you're interested in.

Keep the k100. Buy some good batteries, a couple dripping setups and a tank setup. Then some wire, cotton and a multimeter. No need for something new since you're on a budget. Rebuilding isn't hard. You'll get the hang of it and love it.

Not quite sure what you mean, but here's $200 spent:
$25 - 2x Sony VTC5 (Amazon)
$10 - 24 gauge Kanthal (Amazon)
$5 - Cotton Balls (Amazon)
$25 - Trident Clone (West Coast Vape Supply)
$25 - Patriot Clone (West Coast Vape Supply)
$50 - Kayfun Clone (West Coast Vape Supply)
$20 - Nitecore i4 (Amazon)
$20 - Multimeter (Amazon)

= $180

Hey, I saved you $20!

I started my mech mod journey with the k100+ and about a week later I ordered a caravela clone for the same reason you want a new mod. I think the k100 is a good starter mech but it is kind of trashy and it doesn't look good with most RBAs and RDAs

 

[Marc411]

And I the only one that still likes the K100. It's a solid little mod that you can beat to death and not worry about it. The Neme and Stingray are sitting right now and I am using my K100 with a Magma dripper and it's kicking ....!

It's not pretty but it solid!

I like mine. That's why I said to keep the K100 and spend the money elsewhere for now.
