I go through about 5 Ml a day, sometimes more. But the Fusion is a thirsty critter. So is the Map tank. Anything that puts out allot of vapor goes through the juice.
I put batteries in the Pro once a day. They last the whole day but I'm sleeping etc. in that 24 Hr. period. I usually wake up at night a couple times and vape to though.

Well, aside from the trepidation of buying my first mod and fearing it is not necessary (although I LOVE LR atties, I have been told 5 volts is better, I have just never tried it), I have definitely decided on getting a Buzz Pro. I took a gander at a bunch of other mods, some real nice ones that were just around $50 more, and realized something. I don't give a crap about an lcd screen if I have to press a button a hundred times+ just to find what I like. I would much rather have a wheel that allows me to change my voltage in less that 2 seconds and decide if I like it or not. I also want a mod that can take a freaking beating and keep on putting out plumes of vapor. Laziness, durability, and simplicity are for me. Sad, but true. I think I will be a proud member of the Buzz army (I would still like to gather more mods, but I am of the mindset that one is all you REALLY need and an eGo for a backup in case of *gasp* a problem).

You know I have meters galore and unless I'm charting levels for testing I never use one. Knowing the voltage level doesn't help my vapor one bit. I'm more interested in vapor, throat hit, and flavor and I don't need to spend extra money for a display to tell me that. All that stuff is just bling and increasing the price. I'll bet they don't cost over 50 cents a piece by the 10,000 and the price in creases 50 bucks.

I was exactly where you are now a few days ago and am impatiantly waiting to be able to order a buzz! I thought the same thing about the others mods, it sounded crazy "push the button 13 time, push the button 26 times" I'm hoping there will never be a problem that forces me to use myTornado (same as eGo), but can see possibly pulling it out again if ever stealth vaping is necessary. (I vaped in Home Depot today!!! No one else was in the isle so I said why not, I usually don't do that!)

I know LR attys aren't what you want to use with the Buzz, but I am wondering if the regular eGo tank attys(@2.2 to 2.4 ohms) would work with it. I am looking for a MAP Tank now, but do have several mega tank attys for my tornado that I would hate to see go to waste, if they will work well, I suppose there will never really be a reason to charge a tornado battery again!

That was my basic conclusion. I don't think the lcd is really worth it. If I need it, I can just get a meter and use it on more than ONE mod. Thus, more usability for the money (and it would be less than the $50, by far). I should probably get me a meter just to check batteries and the such to make sure they are good.

Well, even if the tanks don't "fit", I think getting a 510 extension is supposed to work. I would have to really leave that question up to the experts of the Buzz army (or the maker of the Buzz). I think you can find those extensions REAL cheap (wouldn't pay more than $4 a piece).

Yes they will work but if you want to use the cone too you will need to get the adapter that they make for it. I can't remember who sells the adapter but it's in one of these threads.

It's good to have a meter for trouble shooting everything on an ecig.

It is a good idea to have a regular old volt/ohm meter to test attys and voltage etc. they are handy to have around the house as well ! .

The Buzz Pro will operate with attys down to 1.5 ohms BUT they will drain the battery faster .

We have the screw on type meters as well on the site. But I recommend a DVM ( digital volt meter )

About the digital meters you carry Mike. I'm planning on getting a Pro with a 510 cap and my original has an 808 cap so I bought a meter with an 808/901 connection. My question is, will that thing work with an adapter or do I need to order a 510 one when I order my Pro?
I have a couple DVMs but I like the convenience of those li'l puppies you sell.

Find a 510 - 901 adapter or get another one ? 510 to 901/808-D Adapter

Hey guys. Sorry to keep bothering you, but I though of another question.

How long have the threads lasted you on the end caps?

I am worried about accidentally cross-threading or just flat out wearing them out.

I have had 2 cases of worn threads , both of them were out of the box bad ! anybody else had worn threads ?? both of these were 510 types.
We use a 360 Brass for the top caps , it is a good quality hard brass

My original Buzz is 8 months old and I use it every day. It has a native 510 top cap and I've had no problems after using it with cartos or adapters for all this time. The end cap for the batteries is still smooth as butter too :)

Psycho, glad you're doing your homework before jumping in! :) Wish I had done the same. I tried so many mods before getting my first Buzz.

I love my Provari, and pushing the button repeatedly isn't that big of a deal once you find your favorite settings - BUT, I still use one of my Buzz's every day. It's my go-to mod, and travels with me everywhere I go.
I'm a little rough on my pv's and would never consider throwing my Provari in my purse and taking it out of the house.
I've dropped my Buzz on concrete (more than once), dropped it out the side of a Jeep, even got it stuck in a machine at work, and they've survived without a dent or a problem. Unfortunately it didn't survive a dunk in the dog's water bowl. :facepalm: I can definitely say, Customer service at Notcigs is fantastic!!

Never had a problem with the threading at the top or bottom. Silky smooth even though I haven't used Noalox in ages. I get about 6-7 hours out of each set of batteries, and they're about six months old.

Whether you get the original or wait a little bit for the Pro, you'll be very happy. :) I know I'm waiting with credit card in hand for the Pro line! :laugh:
