Opening Pandora's box

AFTER 4 days of vaping i have come to the conclusion i''m in it for the long haul !! Thing is i know the Joytech EGO AIO was a good starting point.

I now want to get into the mod and rebuild part of it all to really feel like i'm in control of my Vaping experience.
Searching the net finding so many mods and coils RBA/RDA ,Batteries ,wire ,cotton , Youtube vape reviewers it is a real Pandora's box that leads you round in circles and make s you wonder is there such a thing as the perfect set up . My reason for this post is to cut through all that head ache and Failing and ask Long time vapers what would be your go to Build that you own, that you would want with you on a ship wrecked island !!! Your recommendation Mod , Tank , Coils , Batteries , Wire and Cotton . Enjoy !! At the end of this post i will hopefully end up with a set i can enjoy

 

Asking this question is like asking a man what kind of woman he likes. You are going to get a lot of different answers, you may be different than the majority and like something completely different. For me, if I could only have one of each of the items you listed, my choices would be a hybrid top cap single 18650 mech mod, a Velocity RDA, 24 ga. Kanthal for building my coils, Samsung 25R batteries and Muji cotton. If I could have one more mod and atty it would be the Tesla Invader III and the iJoy Limitless RDTA. I hope the island has power so that I can recharge my batteries with a Xtar VC4.

 

Lets continue with the first different answer as anounced by Lotta

Wire: I use 80 - 90 % of the time stainless steel wire now, grade SS316L. Sometimes it's Titanium Grade 1.
Cotton: I have Muji and Koh Den, there is no much diff and I doubt other organic cotton will be relevantly different. If anything, the Koh Den needs 2 or 3 draws to loose a a somewhat "new taste". In Thailand you can get Watson organic cotton cheap I read here. Just make sure you hide it from your girl-friend.
Batteries: I like the LG HG2 best from my batteries (the others being Sony VTC5 and Samsung 25r). Most important is making sure you are getting originals.
Tank: If you like the vape the Aio does you could buy a Cubis Pro tank and the RBA deck. It is not the best tank but a decent tank at low cost, and you can interchange coils with your Aio (as long as they are Kanthal or SS).
Mod: I think most in the class 75 - 80 W will do, most are pretty similar. I decided for the Joyetech VTC Mini in last September and I still like it. At the moment I am eyeballing this one:



If looking at a single high-end device I'd probably buy a Dicodes No. 6.

 

Mod - evic mini
Tank - griffin
Cotton - organic watsons
Battery - Sony VTC5
Charger - nitecore D4
Wire - jeez, guitar strings or cat gut, what else ?

Only kidding - kanthal, Clapton or SS, although I been building mostly kanthal recently.

 

Cheers Lotta , Peter-K and Scuba Vaper
Nice to see i can find cotton at Watson (will deffo hide from wife and daughter)
Lotta the Island has plenty of Power and Juice and loads of Vape stuff .We where on a container ship that was carrying new supplies to Thailand when we ran aground .We use the generators off the ship for power. We have plenty of none perishable food and a fully stocked bar and plenty more in the hold. If you want anything else crack open 1 of the containers you will find what ever you need .
Now i can get back to putting them Guitar strings back on my sons Guitar now i see Scuba was only joking but think its a bit late for the Neighbors cat .
look forward to seeing what other peoples builds would be .

 

Mod: istick pico without a doubt, small, discreet (important in the current climate) and more than enough power.

Batteries: lg hg2 or samsung 30q is enough for most vapers needs (except for them clowdbros)

Wire: ss316l, I prefer 26awg, easier to work worh than kanthal and tastes better imo.

Cotton: Muji

Tank: for a beginner I always recommend a toptank mini, vast array of premade coils and one of the easiest build decks to work with, good flavor and easy top fill.

Good luck

You're most welcome ... the above is what I'm currently vaping ... also liked Aromamizer and Uwell Crown ... for RDAs hard to beat the Velocity, but most only have cloned ones as the original is over $150 I think ...

Good to see you're sense of humour is in full swing, life does need a good sense of humour !

 

Hi Rob. Great post. A couple of months ago, I'd have gone with VTC Mini and Nautilus/Kabuki tank. Now things are rather trickier than on your island, I'd splash out on a Provari mod, a few RTA's that are OK for MTL, and a few hundred meters of wire. A personal view from someone who's not into clouds.

 

Just got back from an Aladin's cave that i stumbled across. Only hoping i could find an RBA for the EGO AIO and low an behold they had it all , So after an hour i left with Wismec rx200 , Griffin RTA , LG H4 's no H2's some Kanthal A 1 so here's to Vape clouds

 

Would be happy vaping but just found out my Griffin addy came with no pre made coils .I have Kathal A1 26 g but i do not have an Ohm meter yet

 

It's a RX200 so ménage à trois would be a more appropriate term I guess

 

would have made sweet love to it by now but shitty Griffin grub screw is stuck in the top of 1 of the post thanks to the silly bastard that though an allen key the size of a tooth pick would not round off grrrr
