5v box mod vs gripper help

[Vash]

I want to get a good box mod and tend to vape at 4.8v so Im I better of going with a 5v box mod or get a gripper? I want something that is well built and wont break the bank but dont want to get something to cheap that wont last.Looking to spend between 50 to 100 for a kit.Woud love a wood mod but have a feeling that will cost more than I want to spend.Any advice on a good setup ?

Can't say I've had a lot of experience with the gripper, but I've been using the basic 5v box mod for a couple months. It's not pretty but it does the job for a low price. Parts seem to be simple to find and replace if something unfortunate happens. It also is more durable than I expected.

Hopefully someone else can chime in about the gripper.

I have the gripper, and it is a good device. Cheap? Yes. It has performed well so far. My only gripe is that you have to set the voltage lower than you would on say a Provari (I have one of those too) For example, at this moment I have a tank with a 3 ohm carto in it, on my Provari I run it at 5.5 volts, on the gripper I have to run it at 4 volts, anything higher, and the juice burns. Both devices use pulse width modulation, the Provari just does it better. In my opinion, the gripper is a fine backup for my Provari, but I wouldn't use it as my go to device.

My wife uses the gripper as her main PV and she loves it. I have dropped mine from about 3 feet onto our kitchen floor, and the only thing that happened was the battery popped out. As for batteries my wife as AW IMRs and I am using Efest IMRs and they both perform as expected, she gets a full day plus on one battery. Since I use mine as a secondary I get two to three full days. Overall, I like it, if I were to break it I would probably buy another, based on the cost. Better than having an Ego twist as a backup (Also have a couple of those)

The gripper seems good Im just wondering if for the cost I can get something of the same quality for less.What the cheapest anyone has seen for the gripper in a kit?Also momandpops has 5v wood mod for around 75 I think, anyone know of a coupon ?

The VV Gripper is an OK, cheap PV. As said before, it hits hard, though. I find with anything under 2 ohms, the Gripper hits too hard. The 510 connector is wobbly and the battery door is prone to breaking. Madvapes has it as a standalone for $40.

This place has AW IMRs and a good selection of chargers.

You might want to check out Mister E liquid for the Mod. They have a bunch around the price you are looking for.

I'd really love one of the wood box mods! They are just beautiful! Now I just need to find a rich uncle...hmmmm.

I have one of MV's 3.7 box mods. It's a basic plastic box, but it works great. Certainly not going to impress anyone with it's looks, but that isn't what is important, right? Might seem a bit flimsy, but it really isn't...everything inside is all sealed up in epoxy and mine has taken a pretty good beating the past few months and is still kicking like it was new. So I imagine their 5V ones are just the same. Also SmokTek has some 5V and variable volt box mods that I hear are VERY good. Could check there too.

But those wood box mods? Yeah. Now that's classy!

Once you have a bigger budget you should check out Reos Mods VV Woodvils. They are crazy beautiful, and crazy expensive. Plus for as long as I have been looking at them, they never seem to have any in stock.
