I'm looking for a small bottom feeder box mod.

If it turns out you like them, then you can sell the Old Goat on the classifieds section to get most of your cost back and purchase the REO Mini.

By the same token, a Reo could be resold as well. They tend to retain their value pretty well and it's not easy to find a used one. It would get snapped up pretty quickly.

Also, for the record, the 3.7v Old Goat is MUCH smaller than a pack of cigarettes. It's built in a battery box that fits 2xAA batteries. Here's a pic of a box mod (without the feeder) built in the same box compared to the size of a quarter.

Ha! I believe I'm finely understanding some of this.
Correct me if I'm wrong but, direct dripping is where you drop the juice directly on the atty coil, then vape it till it's gone. You then repeat the process over and over again. (This appears to be a pain in the .... for my style of vaping because I'm busy doing something with my hands all the time. Direct dripping would be a hindrance to my life style.)
Now, what a bottom feeder does is, do the direct dripping for you when you squeeze the bottle, so to speak. It's a more convenient way to direct drip your PV, if I'm understanding all this correctly.
If this is spot on the money of the understanding, then what I'm looking for is a fuel injected or gravity feed system that will keep my juice cup filled to the brim because I constantly vape all day long. I rarely ever put the thing down. It's either in one hand or the other or between my teeth always. It's rarely ever at rest.

Question is, who makes something like that? For constant vapers?

Thanks, guys,

I use my REO mini all day long. It holds a 3 ml bottle of juice. The Grand is nice also, but a bit heavier. I have to say the Woodvil is a tad larger in dimension, but much lighter weight. The wood is lighter than the metal mods.

I have not tried any of the boxes that are not bottom feeders. My goal was all in one device. I wanted to eliminate having to drip. I dont enjoy the carto's either...so I just use a 306 LR atty on my REO's. Fuss free.

If the old goat is a bottom feeder, it might be a good device. Folks seems to like them well. And the price is pocket friendly. At some point, you might want to consider a REO. It is absolutely a good device, and well worth the money.

By the way...I wanted to say congratz to you for giving up diggs after so many years of smoking! That is excellent!

 

[fray]

If we ever get our local meet going I'll let you try out my grand so you can see what bottom feeding is all about.

Again, it's the money. I'm on an extremely small fixed income and any moneys taken from my pocket dips directly into my food budget, and general house supplies. LOL
Being poor is quite an hardship.
Although, now that I've stopped analogs, I may be able to save a little for later on down the road.
We'll see...

Thanks,

Many thanks, Fray. I love your cat. LOL Just plain cute...

I rescued her out at work. She came in on a truck inside of a box of raw material. She got shipped all the way from Maryland. I was pulling samples and heard a faint meow and found her. She probably only had a day left.

You know, I wanted to add that you have to consider the batteries and their cost when making your decision. The batteries and charger for the REO are not cheap. But will last a good long time. I do not know what batteries the old goat uses. I have seen some mods that use AA type. I'm not sure how much vaping power the smaller batteries have. Perhaps others can help and chime in about that.

You got it right. When you squeeze the bottle on a bottom feeder the liquid flows up through the bottom of the atty soaking it. When you release it the excess is sucked back down in the bottle. There are a few top feeders out there as well.

To my knowledge, there aren't any "self feeders" (yet). The bottom feeders (and top feeders) are essentially dripping, except you don't carry around a separate bottle. A lot of folks think that the "filler" in carts/cartos give the vape an "off" flavor (me included). My preference is dripping, best flavor of anything, but as you note, its not always convenient. At least the "feeders" eliminate the extra bottle to carry, constantly taking off the bottle cap, etc.

Don't know if you mentioned it, but are you handy with a soldering iron? If so, you can build a feeder quite cheaply from readily available (RadioShack) parts. There's a whole subforum dedicated to "making your own" here, if you're interested. They aren't too difficult to make, I actually made one myself that works

 

[swedishfish]

Go see Steve and tell him I sent you if a plastic mod at a good price is all you need. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-cigarette-suppliers-forum/183648-quality-3-7v-box-mods-19-5v-box-mods-28-a.html

Which would you recommend, the 3.7 or 5v?

Old goat recommends the Trustfire Flame 14500 for his little 3.7v bottom feeder because they fit best. He does not recommend high drains. A single battery charger at madvpaes is five bucks. The Trustfire 14500 is about four and a quarter, and a person should really have at least two of them. They're rated for 900 mah, but I've never gotten a whole day out of one.

Im a 3.7v kinda guy. Steve is good and honest. Its really boils down to low or high volt vaping.

Yeah, I am very mechanically minded/inclined and have done stuff like this all my life. Unfortunately, I lost everything but my life in a fire awhile back so I have nothing to do it with anymore. I now purchase everything I need. I'm too old to start all over acquiring all my old tools again and I can't afford 'em either.
I'd have to buy all the tools and parts. My first one would cost a fortune. LOL
Living in a small one bedroom apart lacks any room to move in, too. Life's gotten too short for me anymore, now.

Looks like the Old Goat's mods are about what I'm looking for.

Thanks,

If you don't mind waiting 3 weeks or so, the trustfire flames are about half the price on dealextreme as they are just about anywhere else.

Just to check in with you. I've had my OG 3.7v bottom feeder for a couple days now and its been performing wonderfully! It's nothing fancy being a plastic box mod, but for the price I couldn't have asked for more. the 14500 trustfire batt with a 1.5 ohm LR atty lasts me a good 5+ hours and surprisingly I didn't notice a drop off in power too much toward the end of the charge.

Of course now that I have discovered how much i LOVE bottom feeding I want to step up to a Reo partly thanks to all the reonauts in this thread =P

 

[thegrindre]

If you're going to step up, what are you going to do with your 'old' OG???

 

[thegrindre]

Actually, it was quite easy. I knew that vaping was going to work for me that very first day I tried it. The whole process was so close to the 'real' thing that I knew it would work.
I've never wanted to quit the habit, just the tobacco.
Thanks for the support, I appreciate it.
