All mods

[ddy611]

are all mods(VP line, protege, prodigy, GG, SB, CHUCK, etc.) the same. they use the same battery(10440, 14500, 18650, RCR123, 16340, CR123, etc.) so in theory its all the same correct me if im wrong. so the only difference is price, looks and preference. Or is there something more im missing? finding my next mod has been rattling my brains. some people say chuck is better than SB or protege and better than VP2 or VP1 is better than janty stick... i just got a bartleby as my 1st mod and is it worth it getting another mod? i know that prodigy, chuck and SB are all bigger battery mods but they should all perform the same right? same batteries... this is hurting my brain

You are right.....but some are more reliable than others.....I am a big fan of the chuck and silver bullet, not so big on others.

Same Battery Same Performance...it really is just that simple...Different mod's have different types of switches, Different designs But thats all aesthetics...i bought the lil' chuck because i loved that it could be customized with my design....it performs as good as any other cr123a mod, i just liked the looks

PLUS Most modders offer warranties on their mods...and go above and beyond the warranty in most cases....Really making even build quality not that important...I have yet to hear of a single case of a Customer being unhappy with the build qualty of a mod, and not have it resolved RIGHT AWAY and Fixed, Its all about battery size and Aesthetics

Not 100% true.

Some of the batts you list are 3.7volt while others are 3.0volt and used in pairs (6volts) for HV mods.

But if you separate out the voltage, yes, a batt's a batt and you're looking more for style, long life, switch life and other options like 3.7v-5v-6v and usb charge/vape.

One note is that the larger batts usually have higher mAh ratings and that is an indication of how 'long' it will last for vaping - higher mAh usually holds top end voltage longer too which provides better vapor longer.

Ok, its like this...If a battery (3.7v) is fully charged to 4.2v, and runs longer at 4.2v, without dropping off voltage til its almost dead, runs for 2-3 days at 4.2v, would you want it?

a reg ecig is fully charged at 4.2v as well, but dies in a few hours, thus the first few drags are 4.2, then dropping off gradually.

The Chuck/SB runs for 2-3 days at 4.2v, and when the 3000mAH battery finally dies, only the last few drags will actually be 3.7v. A reg ecig battery is 180mAH

So, its all about battery life. If you want something that vapes like that fully charged first vape, every time, for 2-3days straight, get a big battery mod!

Im sure having the Bartleby has shown youhow nice it is having something last a half a day, imagine that...lasting 3-4times as long!

In general a mod is a battery holder. A mod that holds the same battery as another mod should perform the same using that battery and the same atty.

Some holders have different features than others, looks, button placement, safety features such as locking buttons (or other means of ensuring the device does not fire while in a pocket etc) Some may have more reliable switches ( longer lasting/more durable) Some have the ability to change the draw, ability to change button pressure or throw, or coolness factors such as shiny bling, or painted grafics etc.

So while they are all a battery holder, they do not all have the same other features such as quality of construction/durability or additional features.

So if you are trying to decide, I would suggest to first decide what voltage you want to vape at (or voltages) as this will narrow the field a lot.

It may also help to narrow down the range of choices if you know the atty you want to use, but they do make adapters to use other atty's, like the one altsmoke carries to fit on a 510 and use most others etc. (but device gets a bit longer)

From there compare the ones that are left, and decide which has the other featrues you would want such as button placement, durability, price, size, bling etc that best suits you.

Hope this helps

enjoy your bartleby for a while, you have time to decide.

ive only vape 3.7v. i have the volcano, 510 and bartleby. ive been going back and forth from chuck to SB(6v) to VP2 to protege(14500) and janty stick to VP1(10440). basically ive narrow them all, too many to list, from battery size. size and price is a big factor. i want something that can easily fit in my pocket. and ofcourse i want it to last, no switch problems.

For me throat hit isn't an important consideration and I get just the right hit on the 510 and over a longer period of time with the Bart - it holds the voltage longer.

While I have a protege on order, that happened before the bart and frankly that has everything needed - the usb mini that can be used as a PT and the on/off switch for carrying. It lasts me a day and I frankly don't foresee a situation where I need longer than that, but if I did, I do have a kensington pack that lasts five days. Putting the bartleby in the charge mode overnight is not really a 'downside' :-)

And I have a janty stick - a few of them, and the bart out vapors them although I still use the janty for the lighter fruit flavors.

Essentially, you are correct. The same atomizer and the same voltage should produce similar vapor and throat hit. Therefore, your decision would need to be based on your target voltage (3.7, 5 or 6v), ergonomics (i.e button placement, circumference of device, adjustable button throw), safety features (i.e. venting holes, locking button, device that does not fire when the body and button come in contact with metal), and mechanics (electrical versus mechanical).

I prefer the 100% mechanical design. Less things that can go wrong.A mechanical device will likely last a lifetime. That said, many fine devices not 100% mechanical will probably outlast your desire to vape.

My personal preferences include the Super-T1, AdapteveR and Silver Bullet for your consideration. I only own the Super-T, but will be acquiring an AdaptaveR shortly. Reviews of the Silver Bullet and the ecent Black Bullet are very positive. Whatever device you purchase, it will be great!
