Suggestions sought for mod, RTA/RDA

[Postmodern Smoking]

My brother is looking at vaping again after a long period away from it. He's looking for something simple, reliable and not too expensive.
He's needs both a robust small mod (probably separate battery...he should have a charger) and a RTA or RDA that takes stock coils; not too tight a draw.

Ideally UK supplier.

Thanks in advance.

Very generous of you.... I'll check it out online and get back to you.

Thanks,

Postmodern Smoking is it deffo MTL he's after? If so, I'd have thought a doggystyle with a tub of pre-made coils from FT, but that's not UK..but satisfies the rta bit...

Thanks for the suggestion, but coils and rewicking will be too much faff for him.

If £50 counts as not too pricy, how about
Innokin Kroma-R Zlide kit

I got one a couple of weeks ago and it's great. Zero faff and cheap to run.

Came with Perp's recommendation too! link

I'm on my 3rd 10ml juice bottle and still on my first coil, no drop off of flavour or vapour so far.

If your bro has no 18650's / charger, then this:
Innokin Coolfire Z50 Kit

or this:
Innokin Adept Zlide Kit

Both look very tempting to me

Cheers,

John

Thanks for the suggestions John, whilst the Kroma-R looks appealing to me, however I'm a little worried having seen a video review that the interface has too many options for a bit of an ecig-technophobe brother. Adept looks simpler, but internal battery.

Having been very happy with the Eleaf Pico .... I wonder whether THIS might suit him 
Anyone got any comments on the Melo 4 tank? (or other thoughts)

[flimflam]

Natty looking thing that Pico

But the Melo seems to be a sub ohm tank.

You can get the mod separately here though:
Amazon

So you could maybe grab eg a Zlide tank elsewhere


P.S. On the Kroma-R, I've not messed with any of the advanced settings. The basic default settings are dead simple, and all the coil boxes/wrappings show what the recommended Wattage range is for them.

At the mo I'm just using the 1.6 coils that Perps recommended at 10 Watts. On the lowest airflow setting it's a really nice draw.

P.P.S With all that said, I've now watched a couple of reviews of the Pico and it seems to have at least as many functions as the Kroma-R, but a less clear (to me) set of menus xD

Brother settled on going to a local vape shop.

Ended up getting an Aegis mini and Innokin T20s tank.
