Help me pick out a mod.

[slim95x]

Hi all

So, i've been smoking for around 10 years, and then got an e cig, I believe it was a joyetech ego cc. I was really pleased with it, but unfortunately after a while, i kinda went out of atomizers, and after not smoking at all for around a month, i got back to cigarretes. (I know, lazy me, should have just bought some). What i liked about it tho, was the vapor, cause it was really cool, (as in, cold cool kind of way, not cool pretty kind of way) . So, im thinking of getting an e cig again, a mod type precisely, and was wondering if you have any good suggestions. I was looking into Joyetech AIO, and maybe SMOK G-PRIV. Do you have any other good suggestions? Some people bash the new joyetech products, is there any truth to them being bad? I also dont want a huge mod, cause im kinda traveling a lot, and was thinking about Coopor Knight aswell. What i dont want to end up with is a device, that vapes pretty hot, like the old joyetech vape pens. Any answers would be gladly appreciated.

Why not get the alien 220, or another 2 18650 battery mod? I have a gpriv and you may find it a bit on the heavy side. I like heft but many do not. There are a ton of options. How important are weight and battery life to you? I assume you want a tank with pre-built coils.

Some of the best Beginner mods are the ones with simple chipsets that vape well. For that I like Innokins Aetheon board and Vaporesso’s Omni board. The Coolfire from Innokin has the Aetheon board. All of the Vaporesso's have the Omni board. I like these companies for the beginner because the menu systems are really simple. The Aetheon board is great for TC as well. The Omni board is a great beginner mod because as soon as you attach a tank it gives you a recommended wattage.

Also, when I started vaping I bought a single battery mod and quickly outgrew it. I only smoked when drinking but found vaping far more satisfying and found myself vaping all the time. If you think you will use it all day I really recommend a 2 battery device.

That's pretty cool that the omni board does that. I will remember that when people ask me about vaping.

Yeah, i know that the gpriv is on the heavy side, but i'm okay with that. Yeah, i will be mostly using pre built coils, but i might tinker with building some myself later down the road. Batter life wise, i just want it to last trough the day.

 

[Deucesjack]

Just did a full review on the RDTA Box Mini. Great little mod for the person looking to start building.

If you feel you might get into building and possibly using different RDAs or RDTAs you can't go wrong with the g-priv. A few people feel there is no need for a touchscreen on a mod, and I used to be one of them. But I love my g-priv. It is easy to use and I like that I can disable the touch, fire button and blackout the display all independently.

The g-priv is essentially an alien 220 with a touchscreen and a more solid build. I find the mods with the hidden tanks nice but it will limit choices for the atomizer you can use. I am using mine with a smok tfv8 and a few other RDAs and RDTAs.

I think it's a good choice but I would see what others with more experience on different devices have to add to this discussion.

How does this compare to the smok skyhook mod? Just curious, I have the standalone skyhook RDTA and it is pretty nice. I am not always thrilled with the fill slot on it though. Lol

G-priv is really nice. The X Cube Ultra is another from Smok that I like a lot. Of course, the Wismec Predator 228 is a really great mod that I have been using recently.

 

[JuicyLucy]

Something like this is very simple to use compared to the other suggestions and delivers an excellent vape

https://vapenw.com/istick-pico-kit-by-eleaf

While the other suggestions offer a great vaping experience I'm sure, they are a little fidgety for a beginner mod

The Melo III replacement coils are only a buck apiece and you can buy a separate rebuildable head for it later if you want to get into building

 

[mikeyboy74]

I would add the Smoant Battlestar to the 2 18650 recommended list, but I also like the Innokin Coolfire tc100.

For a tank, Big Baby Beast would be a good place to start. Original Cleito is also not bad.

Since aio was mentioned, I thought of the Smok Stick V8 kit with the Big Baby Beast.

 

[Banshee]

Ok this isn't going to be a popular opinion, but I travel 5600 miles every week, so I kind of understand your needs (not saying nobody else does). For everyday use, I have a Reuleaux 200S and 2/3. I like that I can set them down in a cup holder and they stay. I also like that they use 3 batteries so they last me about a day or 2. I know you said small, but it's something to consider. Also they are both fairly cheap so if I drop them or whatever I could care less. I keep my expensive boxes at home. I use large tanks with premade coils for everyday use while driving. Keeps things simple and I don't have to refill as much. Also, in a pinch, both can charge via USB so if you can't drag along an external charger, you won't be shit out of luck. You can even use a mini USB car charger. They both can run at lower wattages for your cool vape but can also be run higher if you decide to try your hand at an RDA and building. Anyways, they're very durable and will give you room to grow until you decide what you like and then you can invest more in a fancy pants box. Menus are fairly easy too.

Food for thought. Also, the Reuleaux 2/3 can be used with just 2 batteries making it a lot smaller, but you still have the option to add the 3rd battery when you need it.

 

[Banshee]

For tanks, you can also look at the Atlantis V2. Anything in the "Beast" line might be too much vape for you. It takes some getting used to. The Aspire Atlantis V2 gives decent flavor, coils last about 4-6 weeks (depending on your vape style) and it's fairly cheap and easy to get the coils. I believe there's a 5ml version. I have an extension tank on my Atlantis that allows it to hold 12ml of juice. Anyways, the Atlantis doesn't need as much power as the Beasts so it can produce a cooler vape for you. I still use an Atlantis V2 on days when I know I won't have time to refill. The Beasts tear through a ton of juice... but I'm also firing mine at 135 watts because I like a warm vape. My Atlantis fires best at about 65 watts.

 

[Banshee]

One last thought... as far as customer service, I had a great experience with Wismec (maker of the Reuleaux) when one box wasn't working 100% they immediately replaced it. No questions asked. With so many of these companies, customer service is nearly nonexistent. It's a sturdy, reliable, flexible, inexpensive box that should get you through this beginning/experimental stage. But that's just my opinion.

 

[Banshee]

This is the Reuleaux 2/3. The left is with 3 batteries and the right is with 2 batteries and the separate (but included) back. It's really not that big or heavy when in 2 battery setup. It costs around $35.

Haha, where i live, the prices are a bit different. Here it costs more like 60 euro . But yeah, it looks like a pretty nice device

 

[Banshee]

I just think since you're starting out and may eventually want to expand into building, this is a good one to start with. I've dropped mine 15 feet onto cement and it just got some scratches. It perfect if you travel a lot too.

[slim95x]

Yeah, also it makes the total price a lot lower than the g priv . Any suggestions on the tanks? I dont think that i want to buy an RDA yet, maybe a bit later down the line, so a tank with coils would be the best option. Anything specific you have in mind? Also, is the temperature of the vape affected by the tank, or is it strictly dependant on what the mod can do on itself?

 

[Banshee]

I would start with an Aspire Atlantis V2.

Anything in the Beast collection like others have suggested is awesome too, but they are kind of harsh for a newer user. They produce big clouds and use a lot of juice. I think they'd have you coughing and choking.

The Atlantis that I mentioned has almost as good flavor, still decent sized clouds, but won't choke you. Also the coils are fairly cheap and easy to get. I still use my Atlantis even though I have several Beast tanks as well as Cleito's, RDA's and RDTA's. The Atlantis is just a wel built and decent all around tank and has been around for quite a while.

Both affect the vape. Different tanks require different amounts of wattage to fire them. The Atlantis requires 65 watts or lower. The Beast tanks work best 100 watts or higher. The higher the watts, the hotter the vape. Hecknif they still had the Atlantis V1, I'd tell you to start there since that fires at even lower wattage, but I'm not sure if you can still find those. Anyways, Atlantis coils are fairly cheap ($12 for 5) where Beast coils are much pricier ($20 for 3).

I do think you'll find that as you get more into vaping, you want warmer and warmer vape. This box can accommodate that. The Baby Beast and Cleito that were suggested are good tanks forbdown the road when you get more used to vaping. I have a Cloud Beast and just ordered the Beast King, but when I let a friend try my CB, she choked and coughed and hated it. Now she owns one, but she needed to build up to it.

 

[fraleywp]

I have a friend who has tried hitting my vape devices a few times and always coughed or choked. The only tank he can hit successfully is the baby beast. For whatever reason. This is the regular baby beast. I received this tank with the Alien kit when I had the Alien. I have since given him that tank and he uses it. He vapes maybe once or twice a week.

Don't get me wrong. I love all the Beasts. I just wasn't sure about someone starting on one. It's a lot to take in, literally. Plus they do have a warmer vape and the OP wants a cooler vape. I'm stoked to try the TFV12 when I get it, although I'm hearing a lot of people say they like the TFV8 better (which I happily have 4 of).

I think the baby beast can be used at a low enough wattage that it lends itself toward new users more so than the others.

I love my V8 and considered a V12, but I ended up getting that Smkon Kumo from AnthonyVapes instead. Mainly I feel that going from the V8 to V12 isn't as interesting as trying out that Kumo. I should have it in hand tomorrow.

You'll have to let me know how you like it. Actually please just tell me you hate it no matter what. I have 6 mods on the way in my mail and the V12... I have got to stop ordering crap. At least for a little while.

I understand. I am bad about gadgets. But with vaping, things are relatively cheap and that makes them far more tempting to "try" them out. But I tend to give away or sell what I don't use. I feel bad for it just sitting there.

Oh, one more thing, what about the ohms of the coils? Do they affect the vapor temperature aswell, as to, how low can you go, or what? Cause the only option i see in my shop right now for the atlantis is 0,3ohm ressistance. Is that okay?

 

[Banshee]

The lower the ohms the more watts it takes to fire it also. .3 is what I use at 65 watts. I believe they also have replacement coils in .5 and 1.2 (I'll have to google it). The .3 shouldn't be too bad for you. Your shop probably only carries those because they are the most popular.

I have the Reuleaux RX2/3 and RX300. The 510 pin on the RX2/3 is pretty cheap. Doesn't also mean it can't work for you, just as long as you are aware of what exactly the limitations are like. The main selling point of the RX2/3, aside from affordability of course, is the fact it is a resizeable mod so in 2 battery configuration it offers good portability whereas in 3 battery configuration you get extended battery life plus extra power capability. The RX300 on the other hand has a much improved 510 pin, but the mod is ginormous and it's heavy (not a dealbreaker to me...), albeit it performs really well, and that's even more so if you don't need Temperature Control (TC) mode, and, last but not least, the overall build quality and the battery compartment are quite nice despite that the price tag is barely any higher than the RX2/3. The Predator has an even better quality 510 pin than the RX300. I don't use any tanks because after a day of using them the flavor in them starts to get, well... you know it's a personal kind of thing, but... to hell with tanks. I have only been vaping for little over 11 weeks, and already have 3 drippers... all authentic ones because clones suck (they do), and if you buy a clone you're only ripping off the people whose continuing efforts are much needed to anyone who loves an excellent vape. There, I've said it!

 

[Banshee]

My bad, they come in .3, .5 and 1.0. If you can order online, you will probably find them cheaper and be able to get the higher ohm coils if that's what you want, but really the .3 isn't bad at all. I think you'll be fine with it. You can go as low as 50 watts with the .3. Of course as you get used to it, turn the watts up gradually. You'll find that the flavor gets better. You can go as high as 75 watts with the .3, but the sweet spot for me is 65 watts.

The 510 on my 2/3 is fine and everything I ow has fit firmly on it. Maybe you just got a bad one. After 5 years of vaping and many tanks, RDA's and RDTA's, I definitely wouldn't call the 510 cheap. I agree the Predator is cool as hell, but the 2/3 gives the OP more options. Since he stated he travels a lot but wants a small box, he can start with 2 batteries and when he finds he needs longer battery life, add the third. The RX300 is just HUGE and uncomfortable to hold IMHO.

Food for thought... with expensive tanks and RDA's, I generally start with a clone to see if I even like it and if I do, I go ahead and purchase authentic. For some people on a budget though, clones may be the way to go. Not everyone can afford authentic and some of it is over priced. Everyone deserves a good vaping experience.

0.3 is fine on a prebuilt coil. Think of the ohms in terms of wattage. A higher ohm coil will take less wattage to heat up. Thus means it will get hot faster if the wattage is set too high. So if you want to burn at lower wattage you want a higher ohm coil. It is an art and a science so you will have to find your sweet spot between heat, cloud and flavor. .3 is a good staring point IMO.

I completely agree. I know the OP wants cooler vape, but to get the flavor and clouds he will need a little more power. I think the .3 will give him a good balance.

You may want to eventually consider one of these for your Atlantis. I have this on all mine and if you bottom fill it you can get more like 10 ml of juice squeezed in there. I love these extensions and they come with a cool case and a bunch of replacement parts just in case.

I haven't had any problems with the 510 of my RX2/3 myself. But nevertheless I do know there can be potential problems because I have seen them happening with my own eyes. They range from the pin of the atty being too long so it pushes too far down causing the contact to become stuck down there, to the wire just coming loose at the soldering point, to the atty wiggling or not sitting completely flush with the top of the mod. Just because I agree all of these problems are fairly easy to avoid and or fix, doesn't also mean they don't exist, nor does it also mean that everyone must ignore them. But yeah... mods from this particular brand have been unreasonably shat on by some certain individuals who just love to fuck with people's minds on the interwebs for the sake of gaining popularity. So I perfectly understand your reaction about the 510 here. I definately agree with you on the superior flexibility of the RX2/3. I like my RX2/3, and still like it a lot. But the same thing goes for my RX300. Personally, I, don't think it's uncomfortable to hold. Maybe it's because I like bricks.

Well you have man hands and I hand woman hands so that may be a big part of the difference. Lol. I will say that when my very first 2/3 wouldn't charge internally to 100%, Wismec was beyond awesome about replacing it. I agree there's tons of trolls that hate on less expensive mods.

I use both single and dual battery mods..Its not all that difficult to carry a spare battery to get you through the same amount of time a dual battery mod can give...It depends on mostly what wattage and how often you take a vape.

What tank you choose will also determine how much power you will need to get the vape youre after.. tanks with lots of air flow generally require a lot of power even if you use a higher ohm coil which then would require the need for dual or even triple batteries to get you through a day depending on power being used.

Keep in mind if youre buying juice you will have a hefty cost to go with that power as it will suck it down in no time.

I personally recommend much less power and a single coil tank with not so much air flow like a Taifun GT3 clone.

One of my favorite set ups is an Eleaf 60w TC and my taifun GT3..or my Pioneer4you D3S or any of my single 18650 mods I own....Small and light weight..Plenty of vapor and flavor and with them only being single battery mods, they still last me all day at 20 to 23 watts on a .90 to 1.0 ohm coil.

There are plenty of reliable lower power compact single 18650 mods to be had and plenty of tanks that don't require 30 plus watts to get a decent vape from.

Anyhow, just an option you may consider over expensive juice costs and costly batteries.

EDIT: Also keep in mind there are a few 26650 single battery mods you can choose from that give over 4000mah of battery life..One low cost example is the Hohm Slice that can be had for just over $30.00 and is quite popular.

True but,you can still build coils on lower power set ups..I use a home made SS316 28g/36g Clapton in my Taifun GT3 and my Kayfun V5...If he wants to build .15ohm coils then yes he certainly will...Hopefully he learns a lot more than just how to wrap a wire around a screwdriver however.

I look at it like this..I personally wouldn't recommend someone new to motorcycles to run out and buy a Yamaha R1or R6 as a first bike but I would suggest maybe that Ninja 250 or that Yamaha R3 to get started with.

a 50 to 75 watt mod with a single coil tank is a big jump from the Joyetech ego he started with..well call that a 50cc scooter.

In anycase its the OP's choice where he starts back again, I just feel its a mistake to jump right into high power and low ohm builds...If he wants to do this to stay off smokes and blow a decent cloud with great flavor then he certainly doesn't need that...If he wants to become a cloud chaser then eventually he will as he learns along the way...You just trade that scooter in on the next upgrade.

Mike, I don't disagree with you at all. But, in my case, I started with a single battery mod and was dissatisfied very quickly. I don't think low wattage vaping is equivalent to smoking in my case.

I didn't smoke much but when I did I hit the cigs very hard and smoked very fast. If that is the experience you are replacing I don't think a light vaping solution will work. It could just be me though. I know a few people who tried vaping with pens or tiny devices and they went back to smoking because it wasn't satisfying enough. I think the device and atomizer they were using were a big part of that.

Well you have man hands and I hand woman hands so that may be a big part of the difference. Lol. I will say that when my very first 2/3 wouldn't charge internally to 100%, Wismec was beyond awesome about replacing it. I agree there's tons of trolls that hate on less expensive mods.

Well, that video was pretty random

Something important to keep in mind...

If you still prefer a cool vape, make sure you don't get a tank for which only sub-ohm (low resistance) coils are available. You'll need to get a tank for which higher ohm coils are available.

I prefer a cooler vape myself and I'm not a cloud chaser. 1 to 1.4 ohms at 15-18 watts suits me fine and gives me at least 3 times more vapor than smoke on a cigarette when I lung hit. This 15-18W is way more than an ego battery will give you.

I don't agree with folks who are saying to get a mod that holds two 18650s, assuming if you want cool vape and a small mod. If you are vaping at the lower wattages to get a cool vape, one 18650 will last you a whole day providing you are not chain vaping all day. And if you are at work, chances are you won't be.

But like I said, if you are going to still be needing/wanting a cool vape, just make sure that the tank you get has higher resistance coils available for it.

0.3 ohms? For someone who's coming from an ego battery and prefers a cool vape? No way! The lower the resistance, the higher the wattage you need to power the coil and the hotter the vapor will be. And The hihger the wattage you need, the quicker your battery will drain.

If you want a small 18650 mod, I suggest a pico 75W. Been using mine A LOT for the past 3+ months with no problem.

I don't usually recommend tanks because they are so hard to suggest since everyone has different tastes/needs. It's not uncommon for a vaper to go through 2-3 tanks before he gets what he likes. I'm gonna go out on a limb here for a tank and suggest a Kangertech Toptank Mini. They have higher ohms coils available (for a cooler vape). They also come with an RTA deck which is super easy to build on if you want to get into building later.

So basically, the higher the resistance, the cooler the vape, right?
