Just realised I haven't used anything except the reo for the last week, I going to make a new coil for the kayfun and take it for a spin now :p

Haha, yes Reos tend to do that to one. I use my Aquas to screen juices for my Reos. But am waiting for original Russian to try....@Rob Fisher is to blame!

I may be to blame for the Russian Story... however you are to blame for the REO story... I have 2 Russians and I don't even want to say how many REO's... so you are more to blame than me! ;)

Awesome rob thanks :) so you do actually push the cotton into the wells? I just reading and the posts mentioned not to fill the channels.
I stopped in at VapeMob and asked Chop007 to build it up for me as I was having issues. He did an amazing build, still using the coil he built ;) he also did not go into the channels but then I had slight flooding issues and have been going into the channels since, but I think im using too much cotton, I end up twisting the cotton through the coil to get it in there... MUST be too tight :D

just need to finish this tank and I will re-wick ;)
 
Sorry, @Mike, we have seriously hijacked your thread. Please forgive us. And get an Aqua for that IPV!
 
I have an aqua, and kayfun. IMO:

Aqua:
Pros:
Great flavour
great vapour production
Is definitely designed for sub-ohm builds.

Cons:
Juice capacity is only 2.5mls
Prone to leaking if not filled correctly

Kayfun:
Pros:
Juice capacity is 4.5mls
Easy to fill
Great flavour (for a single coil)
Good vapour production

Cons:
Prone to dry hits if not wicked properly
Can't see when to stop filling using the all steel design

With the above said, personally I would say get both if you can afford to. Kayfun for when out of the house and when you want higher ohms like 1.2ohms and up. The Aqua, due to its minimal juice capacity is perfect for home use and is capable of sub-ohming, i.e. <1ohm

If you cant afford to get both simultaneously then I would say you need to ask yourself the following questions in deciding which RTA to go for first:

1) How much juice do you vape when away from home?
2) Do you prefer sub-ohm coils or higher ohm coils?
3) Do you carry/own spare batteries?

If your answer to 1 is more than 2.5mls I would opt for the kayfun
If your answer is you prefer lower ohm coils then I would opt for the aqua
the answer to the third question isn't as consequencial as as the previous two but please bare in mind that with dual coils your battery will run flat faster than with single coils.

IMO I cannot choose between the two and use both on a daily basis, I will say that my Kayfun goes with me when I am away from home and only carrying spare batteries with me. Other wise I am using the aqua at home or when i have my vape travel kit with me (spare cotton, scissors, extra juice and batteries).

I hope that helps
 
yeah it would have to be something that can ideally fall over and not leak juice all over the show. juice capacity is not a major hassle as i always carry spare batteries and juice with me, so it's more of can be stuck in my pocket and not leak requirement
 
Maybe look at the 3D, it's a dripper but with a tank, i don't have one personally but from what I hear they pretty good, all the flavour of a dripper with the convenience of a tank.

Personally I have a Kayfun clone from fasttech which I love. I really want an authentic Russian but it's out of my budget for now.

If you are going to go the dripper route with a juice well then look at the magma as well. Twisted420 gave the magma a seriously good review
 
I didn't wanna burst anyones' bubble, looked like you were all having fun discussing this. Thanks for the brilliant reply @BhavZ after reading your points and thinking about it, I will be going with the magma. Will be acting as a hubbly replacement :D

Where did you find a Magma @Mike?
 
@JakesSA will be getting stock of them very soon at a sick price. Can't wait!
 
My 2 cents......

I bought an Aqua clone on @Andre advice and have come to love it. In fact it is now my all day device. I have found the sweet spot for me is dual 0.8 ohm coil setup. The flavour is awesome (in fact I prefer it over both my drippers) and I never have leaking issues. A tank lasts me for the whole working day even though it only holds 2.5 ml and I only swop out the battery in the evening when it's not even really flat (2100 Mah 18650). Also I keep it in my pocket,pants, case and even laying in the door of the car and no leaks at all. Never get dry hits either. I just notice the clouds become less and then I know it needs a refill.

All in all the best buy I ever made and the perfect choice for dual coils. It vaped great in the 1-1.2Ohm range too but then I have to use the SVD at 15 watts because at that resistance it does not draw enough watts from the mech.

I tried 0.6 Ohm coils as well but the vape is too warm for my liking which is why I ended up with 0.8 Ohms. Another point to remember is getting 0.8 Ohms on a single coil is not that easy unless you use 26 or less gauge Kanthal. I made 2 sets of 0.6 Ohm coils with 26 & 28G Kanthal and the 26 takes too long to heat up for me. The 28G is just perfect.

Also the Aqua you fill from the top. It can be filled from the bottom but why make you life more difficult to cram some juice in?

I will buy a Kayfun/Russian next as I have only used them but never owned one.
It is sensitive to wicking but eventually you will find what works for you.

I use my drippers for what they are intended - tasting juices. Ofcourse something like a Reo is in a league of it's own.

A mini protank 3 / Aerotank :) Don't have anything else.

Getting an IPV2 from Vapeclub.

I'm fine hey, got the mini for on the go. Was considering a dripper, but this seems like a good compromise between a dripper and a Russian.

Thanks Andre, have you tried an Aqua at all? I'll definitely be considering that too - gonna research it now.

iKeyaam, I think you forgot to read my post.

I was actively searching for someone that went ahead and got the IPV2 - how is your one holding up so far? Really tempted to get one, but not entirely sold on whether it will last for a good while
 
Got one, it's fantastic. Putting out 14W into my mini protank right now. If you want to check it out sometime, give me a shout as I see we're both in Pta. I'll have my Tobh on Wednesday too hopefully.

That sounds fantastic, would love to feel it in-hand as well :D

My car is currently at the dealership getting serviced, so perhaps if you are free the Thursday or Friday after work / the weekend, I'd like to swing by and check it out

How does it look with a 22MM Atty up top (any overhang?) Would love to take my Nautilus with BVC coils for a spin on one
