    Default What do most recommend after trying out the Volt?

    I've had the Volt for about a week. I like the fact that it is small and I can throw it in my pocket. I also like the size because people don't think I am taking bong hits in my car .

    But if I were looking to upgrade with something a little more powerful, but still on the small size..what would you guys recommend for me?

    Epower all the way.....rechargeable batts, reliable...I use mine in public all the time. I have been using an e power for 11 months...have tried some mods...keep coming back to the epower.

    A Kgo or E Power is the next most common step. And in the future, they would always remain as great backups for wherever you go next. Also look at other juice delivery systems like cartomizers, clearomizers, and carto/tanks.

    Yep either the E_Power or Kgo/ Riva. E-Power the better buy but slightly larger than Kgo/ Riva. Both PVs are true 3.7 volts. Diff is E-Power bats are 2 for $9.00 while Kgo/ Riva batts are $15+ each. When looking at PVs note re: batteries 100 mah= 1 hr normal vaping before recharge.
    Good Luck.

    you could just buy a Volt X2 and have interchangeable parts that are compatible with the rest of your volt equipment.

    and i agree with Flyer about looking into clearos, fluxos, etc etc

    People have recommended the KGo, Ego, and e-power. All very solid choices. They aren't necessarily going to give you more power though. The battery will just last long between charges.

    If you want to dabble into the variable voltage world, the Ego twist models can be had for about 25-30$ but you'll also need a charger (another $5). You can get a 808 to 510 adapter and this will allow you to use all your volt cartos with it as well. The twist will alow you to vary the voltage.

    These devices are about the size of a sharpie.

    Provangelists will recommend a Provrari
    Twisters will recommend a Twist.

    Most others will recommend a kGo or e-Power, The Volt is more powerful than the eGo, most of which are regulated at 3.4V, so forget that one. The only advantage ego has is the 510 connector and battery life.

    The e-power and kGo won't give you more voltage, but they will hold their voltage higher for longer than the volt battery.
    They'll also let you experiment with different juice delivery devices without the need for an 808/510 adapter. The 510 connection rules the thread world and what you put on the end of the battery is more important than the battery.

    You can accomplish the same thing with a Twist, and get more power. But a 650mah Twist, while being the same size as a 1100mah kGo, will last about as long as your volt battery between charges. The 1000mah Twist will last around 8 hours, but it's as long as your leg. So forget that one if you value compactness.

    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.

    Clarification: The kGo, e-Power and eGo are about the size of a sharpie marker. They have a 1000-1100mah capacity. The 650 mah Twist is the size of these others, but with about 60% of the capacity. The 1000mah Twist is far bigger than a Sharpie. It's as long as a full sized Lavatube and only slightly smaller in diameter.

    Unless it's a non-regulated or switchable model, the eGo is a downgrade from the Volt in terms of power.

    Don't forget that the Twists, unlike the others, don't come in pairs or kits. You will need to vape something else while it charges, and the charger is sold separately.

    Thank you all for the replies. Please forgive my noobneess. I don't know all of the terms yet. I shouldn't have used the word "power". I meant something that might produce more vapor when compared to the Volt.

    Unrelated- how many posts do I need before I can have a signature?
