    Default E power or Bolt

    Kind new to vaping. Had a disposable 510 then got a kgo, now I'm looking into a reliable mod. I've narrowed my options to e power or bolt. I'd like to hear your suggestions. Thank you.

    I should add that they're both 18650 mods and leaning closer to the bolt with a 6ml tank LR dual coil carto setup. Thanks

    Between those two, I'd go with the Bolt. Be sure to get an extension sleeve with it so that you can use the 18650 batteries. (or a Kick)

    If you're looking for a reliable mod and you're o.k. with fixed voltage, get the PV that the bolt is lamely trying to imitate, the Silver Bullet. There is no more reliable PV on the market. The Bolt might look the same, but it isn't near the machine the SB is. It's worth the xtra money it costs. It's built like a tank. It doesn't use a cheesy $2 horn switch you can buy at madvapes. You can run over it with at truck (I ran over the smaller version, the BB with a truck). You can't find a bad review about them and people have 3, 4, 5 or more of them. Who has 5 Bolts?
    I should also mention that you can stack batts' in a SB, something I'd never do in a Bolt with it's cheap switch.
    And, IMO, a kicked SB is everything a Provari wishes it was.

    When they quit thinking a PV is an electric cigarette, they'll quit treating us like smokers and calling vapor smoke. Best not to vape what looks like a cig. or use the word e-cigarette among the uninitiated. Vaporizers are "e-cigarettes" like electric toothbrushes are e-carrots.

    I'm with sailorman, get the Silver Bullet, I have an E-Power and as soon as I get the money I'm getting another Silver Bullet.

    Thanks, I'll check it out but I want to try out a cheaper mod before I go spending the big bucks. My ultimate mod goal is a Zenesis mini.

    The fault in your logic is that you are going to get the cheap mod, then you will want the Silver Bullet and you have spent extra money for nothing If i could go back in time I just would have bought a quality mod right off the batt.

    That'll give you an idea of what a cheap mod is, not what a good mod is. It's kind of like trying out a Kia before spending the big bucks on a Ferrari. Well, not exactly like that, but you get my point. The bolt won't give you any idea of what it's like to have a mod you'd bring if you had to move to a deserted island or Antarctica and could only take one mod.

    To tell you the truth I'd give the Bolt an edge because the Bolt has a recessed 510 connector. Tanks look better on the Bolt, although they don't work any better.

    I'd rather not have a mechanical 3.7V APV. I just don't like the schizophrenic changes in vaping quality as the battery drains down from a full charge of 4.13-4.19V. A regulated 3.7 APV (like E-Power 14650) is much better suited for me.

    To my way of thinking, if you've got a KGO neither the E-Power nor the Bolt would amount to that vast an upgrade. Oh sure, both qualify as "mods" and both take a much higher mAh, replaceable battery; these are valuable things to consider, but how valuable?

    Of course, "value", much like taste, is subjective. Just because it wouldn't be worth it to me doesn't mean it wouldn't to you. The most important thing to consider is, which one are you most likely to *use*, as soon as possible & as often as needed?

    Best of luck, & Happy Vaping!
