The setup: 1. Stacked Dreamer with Ardent Rda for my mech setup
2. Triad 250C with Bonza Rda

The why: Warm/Slightly hot flavorful vapes with good battery life

The Liquid: @fidalgo_vapes Strawberry Milkshake and a Turkey Hill style orangeade Iā€™ve been tweaking forever.

Why I keep coming back: the best mix of warmth, clouds and flavor I have come across for my liking

Price point: Dreamer Stack/Ardentā€¦around $140,
Triad/ Bonzaā€¦around $170

Great topic @Skullblade789 and thanks for the tag :+1:

1.)The setup: Mod and Device.

Steam Crave Aromamizer Plus Limited Edition and Sxmini G Class (I do prefer the DNA250C chip but donā€™t have one that fits a 30mm tank without overhang)

2.)The why: Why is this your tried and true?

Bought the original Aromamizer Plus as a preorder a long time ago and it has never left my rotation. The Limited Edition adds the series deckā€¦love love love and the single coil deck along with a bubble glass for 15ml of juice. Great flavor on the Plus and hard to do a bad build, very forgiving. Can also run it shorty glass, tall glass or in RDA mode, so flexible.

The G Class was chosen as a good all around performer and able to house the Plus and look all sexy. The G is my comparison mod for testing TC along with a DNA mod. Since I run a custom profile for SS316L on my DNA the G is my baseline and it has never let me down.

I do have a Think Vape Finder DNA250C and 30mm tanks donā€™t overhang the mod but they do the 510 plate. My favorite DNA250C mod is the Lost Vape Paranormal, great mod.

3.)What liquids: What do you use with the device combo?

I am all over the place since I love DIY, just mixed a banana cream, Sex on the Peach, MAGA (Make America Grape Again) Samoa Cookie, some tobaccoā€™s and yadda yadda yadda.

If I had to choose only 1 though it would be what hooked me and I am sure thousands of other, a tasty strawberry custard, hard to go wrong there.

4.)What motivates you to keep using the device combo?

Reliability and ease of building along with excellent performance.

5.)Price point: How much did this combo set you back? (If you review products and got it free, let the user know how much the device is.

I did get one Plus for review but the other 2 I purchased, the last being the LE which set me back about $55 on sale.

The G Class I hunted and hunted until I found a deal when it was first released. Was able to snag one for $175, normal retail $225 if I remember correctly. Now that it has been out a long time you can find it for decent prices.

One thing I have learned over the years is it is best to buy 1 higher end product that will last then 3 budget items that either break or you get sick of quick. The Lost Vape Paranormal DNA250C is a great example. A mod that can be had for right around $100 and kicks the snot out of most out there. Come with a warranty from Evolv as well on the chip, a US company that stands behind there work.

That said there are some really great budget products, just have to weed them out behind all the crap.

Lolā€¦

In my hand this minute is a smoant battlestar and an OG cleito with the rta dual coil Clapton build with COTN and 5ml bubble glass

Ive tried others and i have always had this in my rotation , itā€™s easy , has good flavor ā€¦the mod has a great form factor and keeps in ticking

Fruits , custard , desertsā€¦70/30 vg/pg

Its always worked and neber lets me down , the rta is easy to rewick ā€¦

Originally my first battlestar was like 40 to 50 USD, now I think under 40

The cleito was originally 30 , the RTA was 15 and the bubble glass was like 4 USDā€¦now you can buy it all for 25ishā€¦

Im a huge fan of the Smoant Cylon , battlestar and charon 218 TC , Topside dual for mods

Tanks/ Rda etc would be the og crown but im out of coils and not sure Iā€™ll buy stock coils again :frowning:, the drop rda , velocity v2 ā€¦

My list to buy is long but I always take forever to get something new

1.) The setup: Mod and Device.
a. GeekVape Aegus legend $50.00+/- with a Freemax Fireluke mesh tank $29.00 +/-

b. Smoant Ranker $60 +/- with a Vapresso Cascade Mesh tank $27.00 +/-

2.) The why: Why is this your tried and true?
a The Legend first because itā€™s one tough SOB Iā€™ve developed a bit of a neurological problem and tend to drop a things or twitch and more or less toss them right out of my hand. this mod takes all I can give it. As for the Fireluke it has one of the best flavors of any tank.
b. The Ranker just fits my hand, I like the fire bar as opposed to a button. The Cascade Tank works well with the mod great flavor and huge plumes of vapor clouds
3.) What liquids: What do you use with the device combo?
California Dream a creation of a friend of mine, but he no longer makes it, I have the only living copy of the formula. itā€™s very peachy with lots of other hints and nuances.
BerryD Is Straw, Black, Raspberry combo with a hint of cream and a backnote of Bourbon.
I vape my juices in any and all tanks/mod combos I have.
Pardon me but I missed #4
This is why I keep vaping the ones I do

Yes sir @Skullblade789ā€¦ Some here know my setupā€¦ DNA250 and 250C in REPLAY, topped with a Boreas v1, Titanium Deepwater Build (Dual 6 wrap 22g or Fused Clapton - Dual 5 wrap .5mm Ti / 32g Ti wrapper with Cotton Bacon v2 wickā€¦ 3mm ID on both).

This setup just works best for me. Warm, Dense, Flavorful Clouds and a single charge lasts a full day. The Longevity of the DW Build is amazing! Itā€™ll will last for a year with proper care.

My 3 daily setups:

  • Topside Dual - dual 18650 battery squonk device with the profile mesh rda in squonk mode(obviously). Low mg nicotine for ā€œchain vapingā€on the couch watching tv or just chilling around the house. Smooth fruity flavors. Itā€™s tried and true because I love the vapor production and flavor and the hit off of the mesh at around .13 ohms and 55-60 watts.

  • GeekVape Aegis Legend - Squid Industries peacemaker 28mm RTA. Dual battery for long lasting vape at work and the mod has much needed durability of being drop-, water-, and dust- resistant. Peacemaker is a shielded tank which I end up filling up once for the ride home after work. I enjoy a mid to high mg juice for quick breaks and stealth hits.

  • The Vandyvape Simple EX - super tiny squonk device I mostly use for my Cbd juice from Hemp Bombs. But also for high mg nic salts like Cotton Candy by Mr. Salt -E.
    These are my tried and true setups that have kept me off of those rotten cigs. I love the fact that I know exactly what goes into what Iā€™m puffing on and I feel so much better than 2 years ago.
    As far as price goes, Iā€™ve spent a lot of money throughout the time since Iā€™ve started vaping but I wish I wouldā€™ve seen a thread like this when I started because I would have gone with one of these from the get-go.

  • Aegis Legend with peacemaker XL - $120
  • Topside Dual with Profile RDA and a pack of nexmesh strips - about $140
  • Simple EX - $40 bucks I believe or less
    As for my go to juices : if itā€™s premium E- liquid, there are 2 that i will spend hard earned money on. Dripping Sour is the company that makes my favorite Blue Raspberry called Rolled up and the other one is by a company called SteamJunk and the juice is called GhostBerry or some ppl would call it Crack- Berry because itā€™s so friggin good. I think Iā€™ve come the closest in my recipe called GhoulBerry in my recipe list.
    Check it out, let me know.
    Also any comments or feedback are wanted and welcome - nice fire you got started there Skull

  1. Billet Box rev.4b 60w
  2. Itā€™s easily pocketed, and no worries about breaking the tank. Itā€™s been dropped numerous times and still working strong. I was lucky enough to get in on the ground floor and get the first BB, but the current ones are awesome.
  3. I usually vape various fruits in it as the square tank doesnā€™t do desserts/cereal that well in my opinion.
  4. The above mentioned reasons plus the option to use many different coils. I currently switch between the Vaporesso EUC coils and Super Tank coils. The EUC coils are nice because they are the same size as a carto with the bridge, allowing more juice and uses the stock boro tank. Also the ability to change batteries, I personally dislike not being able to change batteries and having to wait for a device to charge.
  5. Roughly $260
