Ok so since My pv arrived I havent had a cig 11 days now! Its been really hard my cravi.gs have been bad but Iv not caved. I use an epower 18650 with atty's, cartos, and now a 3.5ml tank modified with slit I added all by smoktech at sweet-vapes. I have several ejuices from same site really like a couple but still trying to fi.d that juice that really satisfies. I use 30mg nic and chain vape. Still looking at units and with so many venders its hard to know best choices. So Im wondering what do you think the next or ultimate mod I should get? What do you think about the vision 3 stone tank from gotvapes? How much different is the silver bullet from the epower 18650? What do you think is the best mod, the best tank, the best battery, the best juice, and the best vender? Looking forward to everyones opinions! Looking forward to making my grand wishlist!:vapor:

I think you need more POWER! Maybe try the Provari so you can take it up till it satisfies. I just got my first mod yesterday and got a nic buzz within 10 min because it was giving me so much more nicotine from the same juice than my pen style. Good luck and let us all know what you decide and how it goes. Hang in there. This is the place to come if you need support as you get threw the transition and don't freak if you cave and smoke a real cig cause it happens all the time. Oh and welcome to the ECF friend:)

I too, use ProVari. I prefer tube vaporizers. If you prefer the box mod, shurely the Darwin would be an excellant choice. I've also been using VISION carto's since they've been available. Mostly the Stone on the ProVari. I DIY my own eLiquid, have from the start. It took a PV with many hour battery, and many hours eLiquid container to really get me off of nicotine. Six months now, I'm 0Nic0FA, Zero Nicotine Zero Flavor Added. All I'm dealing with now is the hand to mouth thing. Good Luck with your quit. JMHO

Cheers,

    Only one problem with the Darwin ............ YOU CAN'T GET ONE
    A mod isn't worth even mentioning if it hasn't been available for months. Wish Brandon had the ability to keep up with demand, but he doesn't. The Kick has been taking up all of his time. When he does manage to get another batch of Darwins made they will probably be sold out again in less than an hour.
    If the V2 Provari had been around when I was shopping for a VV, that is probably what I would have gotten. But, since it wasn't, my solution was to just build my own.

    It been said that the WTA chems in analogs "may" be more addictive than the actual nicotine. For the first 10- 14 days you'll be suffering withdrawal from these chems. I smoked 1 PAD for 40+ yrs very strong tobacco and began with 36 mg nicotine. I would suggest either:
    - tough it out for a few more days
    or
    - up your nicotine level
    or
    - purchase a stronger voltage PV
    In going from the ePower to the SB there's not much difference as they're both 3.7 except the SB, if you change the batts, you can up the voltage- same as my Don. A few months ago I found my sweetspot at 4.5 volts and it carried me over some rough spots- am now back down to 3.7 volts. As for batteries I have Trustfire 2400 mah and AW IMR batteries. With the trustfires, after 50% discharge, performance falls off a cliff while the Aw's perform 100% to the end. Was also confirmed in the flashlight forum.
    Good Luck.

    Welcome to ECF !! and congrats !!!

    Before you drop money on a new PV, find your sweet spot as far as what type / style of carto or atty you like best. Buy one pack or one atty to try, and compare the differences. Find what you like best, and with what e-liquid you like best...:) With so many flavors available, if you found your "all day vape" on the first try, you may be the first ever recorded!!!! :lol:

    Plenty of good suggestions here , The SB can also do higher voltages by changing out the bats . I use the 4.8 nimh bats in mine , all the time . I have a Provari V2 which I also like , but then I like my Reo "Grand" , my SSGGTS , my HV , VV Saber Touch , etc. They all have have their plus's , and minus's . You have to decide what you want out of a PV , if your only going to get one , then really do your homework . I am waiting for a Darwin as well as a lot of other people out there . Hopefully they will be back in stock , before I die of old age . The main thing you need to figure out is how much money your willing to spend . I was spending upwards of 300.00 per month on the analogs , so I don't mind spending the same on PV's , and I usually do .

    I was spending north of $300 a month on analogs, but I'm using the money differently now....just came back from a week in Vegas, playing poker and eating in the finest restaurants......:lol:

    That is a good point. They need to ramp-up production if they can. But it is one sweet vaping machine. The best I have ever used. It is just so incrediably consistent which is what I like the best about it.
