A Question to all those who own multiple PVs!

[ddirtyvapes]

This is purely curiosity, as I know everyone's preferences differ. I myself own a 510, an eGo, a ProVari and have a GLV-2 Mini coming in the mail some time within the next 3 or 4 weeks... and that is just a fraction of what some of us own. My question is this: have you, personally, continued using all of your devices in differing capacities, or have you found as you add to your repertoire you just don't find the same joy out of some things as you found when they first came in the mail? And by "using," I mean really switching up... not an occasional toot here or there when you get bored with your favorite. For a while, even after getting my ProVari, I'd still take my 510 out in public because I was more comfortable with it. Then after using the ProVari for a while at home, I realized size is, of course, incredibly relative and took to using the eGo on the go. Nowadays I still do that most times, but after bringing my ProVari around with me occasionally and being so used to the extra punch over the eGo (or extra kick in the throat, depending on how high I dial it up), the GLV-2 Mini at 3.7v is definitely going to be my new out-and-about PV. (For the record, I use the extended endcap and 18650s with my ProVari so it's really quite big to be lugging around, and while I'm never ashamed in to vape in public, it's a particular attention grabber.) I think my eGo will always find use, but I haven't used my 510 in about 3 months, which means perhaps it's time to PIF.

So... what about you? Again, just for the sake of pure curiosity. Especially to those who own 5, 6 or more PVs... do they all have a time and a place for you, or do you find some have fallen by the wayside?

I started on a KR808 kit from a smoke shop but now use an Echo automatic and KGO (510 ego clone). I'm now looking at a REO box and maybe a liquinator as I'm getting tired of refilling cartos all the time and as I am beginning to discover what juices I like. I still use my KR808 cartos and long battery I got from Vape4Life though. The smaller batteries are only used as a last resort.

I started with an 801 penstyle, then tried a 901 & 510 because everyone was raving about them but they didn't stand up to my 801. Then I found a Janty Stick and used it up until about a month ago when it died, now I use a Joye Stick V3, sometimes you find something that just works for you.

I started with a T-Rex, upgraded to a Roughstack, built various box mods and a VV passthru. Then I bought a Darwin which I use almost exclusively now just because it's so convenient and the battery seems to last forever.

I've got quite a number of rigs and use most of them occassionally because they each have different purposes. At home most of the time I'm on my Silver Bullet. When I go out I usually just drop a boxmod into my pocket. I've got a bunch of atty's that don't work well at 3.7v so I'll use a VV boxmod when I want to use one of those atty's. I've also got spare rigs in case my primary vape machines go south on me but they don't really get used.

 

[ukeman]

I use a couple regulated power VV's (Provari, Buzz Pro) and I can see getting at least one more...
I have an eGo usb, but never use it just because I'm a fanatic about getting a great vape... the eGo is ok with LR i suppose, but I will have a few top end pv's because:
1. Chain dripper-vaper here, and it will get hot after a three or four long draws. (switch off between at least 2 pv's.)
2. Got to have back up... if one goes in for repair or something

I am not a "collector" who has rows and rows... that's really cool, but not my thing.

Seems like most of us start with little bats or eGo-T's, and after a month or two the taste isn't there any more. So we switch to cartos, then come the low resistance cartos, and then comes the higher voltage. After a while we find that we can't even taste that. Might take a couple of years to get to that point, but we all do eventually. Sooner or later we figure out that we can go back to one of the old setups, and the taste buds will reset themselves. Then we start alternating between the old stuff and the new ones, or have several different setups going at the same time.

After a while we figure out how ohms law works, and we can set up most anything to hit where ever we want.
For me personally, I think if I tried to vape on only one PV the atty would melt into a pile of goo, and the two devices I wont be without are a SB and a silly little eGo bat.

Hear, hear...

Device evolution seems to be a fairly common theme 'round these parts.

 

[XDoctor]

I've got a ton of good mods, and rarely use them. I take a Reo Grand with me everywhere. I'm not even sure where my Provari or my Helix are right now...

 

[Chinner]

I use my reo's at work, use my Darwin mainly at home or when I need never ending battery life, use my precise mainly for dripping or tanks, and my bloogs when I need to stealth or in times where I think I could lose/break my PV's

They all get some love still!

You should pm me if you want your helix to have a loving home lol.. You should vape it! Those things are too cool to be collecting dust man!

 

[hairball]

Look at my signature below to see what I have. All are in use with different flavors and serve a different purpose. If I buy a PV, I must use that PV.

I started out with an ego-t and then 4 months later. I own 7 different pv's and I use all of them. My ego, echo, and kgo batts are for testing out cartos (still use the tank sometimes when I go out). And my Reos are basically used at home but sometimes I take my REO mini out with me. Finally, I use my Volt when I'm out and about going to dinner, bars, etc. when I don't wanna cause to much attention.

Tough questions to answer.

I own a bunch of mods and a bunch of eGo and eGo clone batteries. - It isn't the mods and eGos that fall by the wayside. There are some that have been retired, sold, traded off etc along the way.. but it isn't the battery holders that I stop using. I can see nine different PVs from where I'm sitting and there is a mixture of tanks, cartos, and attys on them, and they all get used regularly (some probably more than others, but I don't discriminate).

What I end up leaving by the wayside is the cartos, attys, and juice.

A few examples: I realized recently that it has been a few weeks since I used an eGo-t atty. It has been at least as long and probably longer since I used an eGo mega. I threw away, gave away, and traded away a whole bunch of different cartos a while back because I found a couple I like better than the rest. I used to use joye standard resistance attys exclusively - but now only occasionally because I really like low resistance 306's and 2.0 ohm cisco's (what I like most is not having to clean out primer before I can vape a new atty).

Juices... ugh. Even juices I think are my absolute favorite ever, I end up getting tired of after a few days or a few weeks.

So, it isn't really the PVs I leave behind. I do buy/sell/trade fairly often or even sometimes just plain break a PV. My rough Stacks get the most use simply because my work and play involve rough physical activity and not many other devices can take the same abuse... But, generally speaking, if I'm not working or out playing, you'd be just as likely to see me vaping a tank on a tube mod as an atty on a box. You'd be just as likely to find me with a 5.0v or 6.0v mod in my hand as a 3.7v. I use eGos as often as I use a bottom feeder. etc etc etc. I like the variety.

I found myself using my REOs exclusively for 3 mos. straight, so I started giving away all my other stuff. I kept an eGo passthrough battery as an emergency backup/backup.

ProVari at work and silver bullet at home...I don't wanna scratch my silver bullet...

 

[Zombitedesade]

Started off with a BLU kit. I still have it but haven't used it in months. It was good as an entry point P.V and occasionally I look at it and think, maybe I should take it for less attention grabbing in public vaping, but just can't face the idea of an empty, airy draw with hardly any flavour.

Switched up to a mega Titan 510 kit. Loved it for ages, batteries eventually started to get worn out after 3 months, switched out to a riva ego style and that is now my main in public vape. I have back up Titan bats which I got in a TW sale, occasionally use them when trying out a new juice, but otherwise they are just emergency backups.

For indoors and work I use the e-power 18650. It grabs a lot of attention though, with a 5ml array tank and a purple cherry vapes drip tip almost everyone who sees it asks about it and kindly refers to me as "the caterpillar from Alice in wonderland". I also have a revolution V.2 juice box. I took this out only once and it leaked evywhere in my pocket. I use it at home mainly as my janty RY4 delivery device and take toots on it here the there. I'm not that fussed by it persoanly and can't be bothered faffing about with it. Vapours poor on it and a lot of 510 cartos won't work on it, it's a novelty and was cheap in a sale, I'd rather pay the money and get a reo but they are not readily available most of the time, let alone to someone in the uk like me.

Since I got a VV I don't really ever use my fixed voltage devices anymore. I got a Buzz last December and used it exclusively until I got my Buzz Pro a month or so ago. I use both Buzz's. I keep a tank on the original one and use the Pro for straight up cartos. I have personalized all of my tube mods with wood veneers so they make nice decorations.

I have a few different battery types. I still use them all, and have a couple of flavors going in different PVs. I'm with Six on changing up cartos and leaving them by the wayside more than i leave batteries.

I started with kr808 batteries... i still use them as an emergency back up or when I'm traveling by plane (easiest to deal with on the road). I use Rivas when i have to go from place to place at work and as my every day back up. I use my smokestik pitbulls (extended life RN4081) when i need hands free, or when I want a dressy PV. I use my Reo at work, at home and most of the rest of the time.

I have recently given extra kr8s and SS batts cartos/chargers as starter kits to friends who want to try vaping.

I echo Six's post too.

I still use the eGo (for over a year and a half)... I'd be lost without it. It sits inside a nice leather Lanyard from CoV and is easily tucked inside my shirt. The eGo provides me with smooth TH, nice vapor and flavor. It's always in use.

Next in line is the Copper Q3 etc that sits snugly inside a soft cell phone case which is attached via a clip to my jean vest pocket. This goes everywhere with me (except to town because the cellphone case and jean jacket both are pretty ratty). The Copper is rugged and great to hold. However, it provides more TH than the eGo which is nice for those stronger cravings. I alternate with the eGo. I mainly use the prefilled honey flu cured tobacco carto's from liquidxpress and topped off with anybody's liquid i have on hand.

Next is the Old Goat BF... this doesn't go out with me much anymore like it used to so I mainly use it at home while watching movies and stuff. Combined with the Cisco LR 306 it rocks! I love this little gadget but it does have it's quirks that make it a stay at home mod now. But for 40 bucks... it's unbeatable.

Next is the Silver Bullet. Dang this lasts all day and then some. This is my main back up to my back ups.

So, in answer to your query,... yes, I still use all of them.

I'm still waiting for my Reo Grand lottery and for my GLV super mini purchases... and a new to market tank system... but will probably always still use my main rough and readys like the ego and of course Copper Q3 by AtmosUSA for my active lifestyle. (I''m a country gal... horses, atv's, gardening, running from bees.... )
