Most products that I have bought lived up to their hype. I might just be that fucking lucky or just really good with reviewing shit before I buy

The IPV 4S - I don't know a lot of people that own this but god damn I have beat the shit outta this thing and its still chucking clouds. Also havnt ran into any issues as far as the software on the chip goes. One minor issue is the shitty battery cover. Over time it has gotten loose. Still, its my only mod that goes over 100

TFV4 - Bought it out of pure lust and glut for something that's just crazy. I hooked it up to my IPV 4S and was chucking clouds at 100 watts. I had friends tell me there isn't a tank that can do that. BULLSHIT YOU ASSHOLES!! This thing is redunculous. The taste and cloud production is that of a rebuildable.. I also havnt had any issues with the thing leaking or any of that bullshit. Its won me over. Im not using it often as of yet because my DIY juice is finally coming in today. Once it does, I will be vaping this thing daily.

EVIC TC MINI - I have dropped this thing so many times while on a drunken binge and it hasn't failed me yet. Its my abusive mod. the one I always drop and feel bad for. The thing is well built and surprised that it hasn't left me. I use it in bypass mode.

The Arctic tank - Reliable and built well. Happy with this tank. Its my ADV tank and it works and gets the job done

Rebuildable tanks. The Subtank mini beats all my drippers at flavor and the cloud production is phenomenal without the need to mentally count puffs. The tfv4 is even easier to build a single coil setup than my Velocities as well.
Tvf4 isn't living up to its hype for me though. Thing leaks if you look at it wrong. The qc on its o rings is atrocious.

While there was never a lot of "Hype" about it and I purchased it to use as my "Stealth" APV,

My Sigelei 30 watt mini has become my daily vape for the most part along with a Kanger Subtank with the RBA head.

I also find the RBA head super easy to build despite its very small size.

I keep several of those around with coil and wick already installed so when a coil goes, I just prime the new head and replace it and rebuild the old one when I damn well feel like it!

Sigelei 150. a tank/brick/beast & reliable friend..
Herakles Tc w/Ni200 coils. flavor monster.
Evic VTC Mini. Lb for Lb might be the best device ever designed.

Been vaping almost 3 years and have had I would say almost everything I've bought has worked like its suppose to and performed well. The CE4 clearos that came with our kits did work to get us off cigs but didn't last long. Vaped protanks for year and a half, once learned to rebuild them they are great attys. I then went into kayfuns and had great success with building and vaping those also for almost a year. Bought a subtank mini for my wife so she stop using the protanks, such a great atty I bought 5 more and a bunch of RBA's, still vaping them. TFV4 I bought in a coop and another great atty, nice production from the RBA's and still no leaking or issues.
As for PV's its still the provari that out lasts and performs (wife's pink provari is almost 3 years old and my black is 21/2 years old) but also have a few Istick50's and a DNA30 that has been doing us well for the last 8 months since I began to enjoy sub-ohms. I can't forget my K100 that was my first mech buy looooong time ago that I still use to reminisce those good ol days.
My real disappointment was back in the day the old evic, the top kept popping off so I never used it much. Sigelei mechs and mods, bought several and wasn't happy with any of them, from crappy buttons, wonky electronics and just plain inconsistent performance. I still wont buy any Sigelei product at all.
I make my own juice, rebuild all our attys so my wife and I have had a top shelf vape experience for the last 3 years and it will continue this way.

IMHO, the CE4's almost drove me away from vaping.

Fortunately, I found the Kanger T-2s just in time!

Uwell crown and Aromamizer RDTA with velocity deck. That aromamizer is the first tank that pulled me slightly away from 5 years of dripping. My veritas gets used much less now.

The Joytech Cuboid is passing all my expectations so far. The new arctic v8 tank is now my daily tank. Used to be the Tfv4 8*(

Has lived up to:
vaping in general;
Coolfire IV's;
organic cotton wicks;
Kayfuns (back when I still used tanks);
Achilles RDA;
Samsung 25R's;
DIY ejuice.

Has NOT lived up to hype:
Direct lung-hitting a super-airy atty. Meh. I'll always be a MtL vaper.
Mech mods. Too fiddly, and no screen to tell you why it's not hitting properly.
VG. I prefer to keep breathing.
Wide-bore driptips. They don't suit MtL vaping at all.
temp-controlled mods. Just no flavor and also no TH.
Every pre-made ejuice I've ever bought (except MFS' Virginia which got me off cigarettes)

griffin rta is actually better than all the hype led me to believe. my only problem is the tank capacity but i can live with that most days.

g-clapton coils for atlantis. i thought they were a gimmick, the guy at the vape shop did too. he gave me one to try for a laugh. they are great compared to stock coils. turned my atlantis from a never used backup into my goto tank for long days where i need more capacity than the griffin (i have the 7ml tank for atlantis). happily surprised to say the least.

For me its been the RX200, the TFV4 and One Hit Wonders Muffin Man juice.

But especially the Muffin Man. I listened to a guy on vapers.tv talk about the stuff for a couple weeks, just praising it and going on and on about how amazing it is. I thought he was over selling it something fierce since Id tried another juice he raved about and it was very bleh. So when I walked in my local shop and saw they had it, I had to try it. I took 2 puffs on the little crappy pen vapes they use for testers and bought it immediately. Ive got tons and tons of different juice, probably close to 100 different flavors/bottles, but the Muffin Man is usually my go to favorite.

Funnily enough the Provari Mini. I sold it to a friend a gazillion years ago, but despite the fact she dropped it off a roof, and later dropped it on a road where it was run over by a truck, that thing is still working as well as the day I bought it over 2 years ago:p

Of the things I use currently, my Crowns, despite some bad batches of coils and that I get max 60mls out of a coil.

Tfv4 mini by far my favorite tank I have had. I would have to say my first box mod the eleaf 30w went through 4 of them in 3 months...bad builds

TFV4 mini. At first I was concerned I wouldn't get the amusing clouds I was used to with the Arctic V8, but when I took the plunge and bought the TFV4 mini, I was not at all disappointed. I'm 50% cloud chaser, 50% flavor chaser, and it satisfied both of my cravings. I'm using a cookie/butterscotch juice and it's so tasty it will keep me thin.

What MOD are you running that on? I just bought one and can't get it right. I only have a 75w MOD and it could be my juice....all I get is throat burn.

Best was the MVP2 way back when. All mine took a beating and never skipped a beat.

Best sub ohm Tank out of 17 or 18 I own I can't really pick one as all about the same. I only own tanks I can rebuild the stock coils. Doing that I can make all tanks vape as good or how I want them to vape. Some tanks just match up better on some mods. Some tanks just plain lose performance on other mods. Drip tips can change how a tank vapes. Let in a little air in top or a wider bore changes performance.

CHEERS!

Provari 2.5 really lived up to the hype, when it was relevant for me (I still enjoy MTL vaping, but at 20-30w now a days). VaporFlask by VaporShark certainly qualifies...better than the original, and less cost.

Halo liquids still do.

SQuapes are awesome! Well built, easy to use. Kayfun 4 has been my go-to device almost since its inception, and has been the only thing so far, I like better than the SQuapes.
