    Default i dont want to hate vaping but its pissing me off

    i feel like ive spent a ton of money and i have nothing that works great - nothing im overly impressed with. i want to run my smoktech 1.5 ohm dual coils well. although nothing i have seems to run them well. i have a tube with 18650 imrs and my ego t preforms better, actually my ego batteries seem to even run the DCT better... even tho i dont use them on it really cause if i lose my egos im screwed..

    so my question is WHAT DO I GET for a reasonable price that can actually satisfy me with the dual coils? i am considering the indulgence it seems like a reasonably priced reliable mod - but now with all these "lavatubes" for cheap popping up idk what to get since VV might be really nice. i just need a mod that is gunna be reliable and wont feel like a cheap flashlight that my battery knocks around in..

    any input appreciated

    I've had the lavatube since it first come out and I have had ZERO problems with it but I have heard some people talking about the fire button not working or getting stuck and burns up a cartomizer, I also have the BuzzPro and it works just fine just dial it up or down to what ever volts you perfer just do it to taste and I have the ProVari it was gifted to me from a friend so didn't spend my own money on it but it is by far the best of the best but price does reflect that. Good luck with your search!!

    The best combination I have found to date is my ipo from notcigs and the Stardust from gotvapes. The stardust is made for the eGo battery so I have to use a short extender but it vapes like a champ!

    Pick up a 5v nihm batt and drop it in your 18650 tube. It'll rock your dct. Don't forget to pick up the nihm charger.

    Side note, the nihm won't last nearly as long as the 18650, but it will pull better. Also, the lavatube won't allow you to vape any higher than ~3.7v due to circuit protection and the low resistance of the dual coils.

    I got an Ego Booster for my Ego batteries. It works really well with both my Stardusts and my Liquinator tank with DC Cartos.
    The booster looks like a really short ego battery. It attaches onto the regular ego battery and allows you to dial in voltage from 3.3 to 4.7

    If youre ready to get serious with vaping then don't waste anymore money-get yourself a Provari and be done with having to buy a bigger and better pv every other week.

    Well... that's an honest post! Hang in there.

    It took 5 volt box mods for me. Hits like a cig.

    VV would be good too. When you evaluate mods... check the amps. For DC's you really want enough amps to drive two 3.2 ohm coils at the same time. So that's 1.6 ohms at 5 volts = 3.3333 amps!!!! Even some of the more generous mods are limited to 3.0 amps.

    I don't use DC's tho... I use 3.2 ohm atomizers at 5 volts. No problem with amps then (1.56). I don't need DC at 5 v. The single atty still has plenty of oomph.

    Your unnamed 18650 mod would probably be a better performer with high drain IMR batteries (amps again).

    Probably the best option if you're willing to spend the money on one last device.

    Do not buy an indulgence these are more hit and miss than the Lavatube. The lavatube only has issues with LR Dual coils. If you stuff a 2.5 dc or higher its fine. I'm using the 2.5 dcc's now and rocking at 5v or higher. In theory depending on your lavatube (they are inconsistent) you can get to a higher voltage than 5v with a 2.5ohm dcc.
    What if the hokey pokey is what it's all about?
