Need help finding a new device :)

[chele9]

Hey all! A few months ago my 5th vamo died (stripped out the screws that hold the tank in there) so I got a little random starter kit from my local store. It's one of those IJUST START kits, which is okay, I guess.

I need some recommendations for something I can get and use long term. I already have 18650 batteries and the charger that some of the kits need, so I'm good there. But because I stuck with the old school vamo and used my nautilus aspire tank with it, I sort of would like something similar.

I like the variable voltage stuff, but even that is okay if its smart enough to figure out what setting to use on its own ... are there "smart" devices for vaping? lol. I dunno, maybe, hahah.

Anyway, I'm looking to spend no more than $100. I am in no rush, so I can order it online and wait for shipping.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Oh, I still have my nautilus aspire tank too, if that helps, so something that could go with that would be good, also...

And I change flavors every other refill usually if that matters... I know some of them once you get it on the coils it takes awhile to get some of the flavors to leave.

Thanks!

The iStick Peco 50 Watt might work for you; Valdosta there is always the Provari 2.5 on Provape site under "specials" tab

My first question - box, tube, or pen?

I have the Pico. Convenient and small. I also like the eVic VTwo. Good call on the Provari...

If you are going the Provari route, I would recommend getting the 510/P3 upgrade for the extra $20. The Nautilus and Provari 2.5 are a solid combo. The 2.5s are rock solid devices.

I was looking at the Provari Dragon... It has a special right now I think it said. I can get the extension that will let it accommodate an 18650 battery which I already have. Looks like it might be worth it. Would that be as good as the Provari 2.5? Or what makes it better? Thanks you guys!

get a pico for the mod portion.. then as money allows try out dif tanks. until then buy an adaptor to run your other style atty's. $1.19 510 to eGo Adapter Convertor for E-Cigarette at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I picked up a Dragon earlier this year as one of my very first Provaris. I believe it is a 2.5 (at least mine is.) Extension cap - YES! However, you will need BUTTON-TOP batteries for the Provari. Most of mine were flat-tops. I now have a special set of button-tops, just for the P-thingies.

The Provari Dragon is a 2.5 It takes 18490 as is and with extension ring will take 18650. You must use button top batteries though.... As i suggested previously you might want to spend the extra $20 and get the 510/P3.

New box mods like the iStick Pico or VTC mini2 are good choices. However nether of these have a 'VV' mode if that is what you desire.

If you'd rather have a tube mod Sigelei Vmax v3's and v5's can be found NIB on eBay for $25 or less. Be sure to get the 'telescopic' version which can accept 2x18350's or a single 18650. (and many in between)

The discounted 'blemished' Provari are another option. Made in USA and loved by many. They may require extension tube and/or other optional stuff. (along with needing button top batteries)

My Vamo v10 lives in the "throne room". Sometimes the fire button sticks. Outside off that it still works like the day I got it. I think Vamo's can still be found on the web and eBay.

another vote for istick Pico. awesome little 18650 mod that has lots of options for temp control and plenty of power if you ever want to experiment with subohm builds.

 

[dennism]

I also give my vote to the pico. I have 3 of them and am very pleased with them. Since you already have the batteries and charger, you are good to go and the pico is only about $30.

 

[chele9]

I'm not sure what the p3 means. I know the 510 part... But is that something different?

 

[chele9]

Where can I find the pico?

The P3 upgrade is just the flat ring that P3s use. The angled mount that the 2.5 uses is geared for smaller tanks. Gotta say, the DC power signal is the exact same...every time. Will last you forever. The 2.5 only shows volts, as compared to watts. Simple, easy, last forever.

Where can I find the pico?

The Pico can be found here. Box MODS - MOD / PV'S - Eleaf It's a good place. I've ordered from them before.

If you prefer a tube style mod, definitely get the Provari (and extension ProVari 2.5 Polished Dragon It's rock solid mod (I have several).

The Provari needs the button top battery and the Pico needs the flat top.

Why not get (at least) one of each. (I also have 2 Pico's and it's a very nice little mod.) If you get the Provari, they also have batteries.

This is what the P3 looks like. ProVari 3 (P3) - The Personal Vaporizer Perfected Only a few tanks are made to fit it so it's very doubtful you will ever need it.

 

[chele9]

The P3 looks nice! I will eventually be getting one for sure! Thanks so much.
