I agree with you completely. I'll bet some people don't realize that the buck technology in the Buzz Pro is almost identical to the new Duke box mod with the OKR-T10 chip. Of course the Duke will go to 10 amps and up to 50 watts, but even Goss (the maker of the Duke) will tell you he only uses about half of the available power. Since I'm not a cloud chaser, I find that even when I use an RDA at .7 ohms, the max current I ever need is 6 amps. That's for me of course. Some people need more and that's fine.
However, if I want to use an RDA, I usually set it up for .9 to 1.1 ohms. That uses 3.8 to 4.6 amps on a freshly charged battery. If I'm vaping on a Kayfun or Nautilus, I only use a max of 3 to 4 amps. So the Buzz Pro is literally perfect for me.
I was thinking of building a buck circuit box mod, and I considered the OKR-T10 chip, but it would just be a waste for me. I'll probably use the OKR-T6 rated at 6 amps. If I ever do build it, I will post some pictures of it.
I have to tell you that recently I have had an epiphany about my vaping.
Like many other people, I started on cig-a-like RN4081's and KR808's. Then I went to ego batteries, and then I got my Buzz. From there I got a Provari and then a few Chinese vv mods with voltage displays. Next I made the move to variable wattage devices including a DNA 20 device. I did the mechanical mod thing too. Don't get me wrong, I love a good mechanical mod, and I now have the Silver Bullet-m which is my absolute favorite mechanical. I'll screw on the Paradigm or Quasar dripper at about 1 ohm, and it works great. But that is my "in front of the TV" mod. Most of the time I am using a regulated device.
So what I realized very recently is even with a variable wattage mod, I am constantly adjusting the setting to compensate for how well a topper wicks. Even with a topper that wicks very well, I still find myself making wattage adjustments all the time to get the best vape. So FOR ME, I realized that even with variable wattage, I simply cannot "set it and forget it". Taking that into consideration, there is no real benefit for me to use a vw device over a vv device. Again, that's just for me. Some may not agree.
And to take this one step further, I also realized that the voltage display was really not all that important. The taste (and lack of burning) is what really matters. So once I realized all this, I remembered the Buzz Pro that has been sitting on a shelf in the pantry for almost 2 years. I would turn the light on to grab a loaf of bread and there, in the corner, on the top shelf was the Buzz just waiting for me to come to my senses. I also remember what Grimmgreen and Phil said in their reviews of the Buzz. They preferred to set to taste instead of looking at a screen.
It was for these reasons that I grabbed the Buzz and slapped on the Kayfun. I think I might have just found vaping nirvana.
That's also why I want to build a buck circuit box mod as I mentioned above with a potentiometer knob.
Ok, I'm done rambling...
