Absolute newbie; what do you suggest for baby's first vape?

[Stratzilla]

A bro of mine is an ecig aficionado and I tried out a couple of his mods. I want to get a supply of my own but I know 0% about ecigs and no amount of research would give me my own opinion. I don't have the money to invest in multiple mods to see which one I like most, but I can say I really like the Diamante because it's got an easy-to-use voltage potentiometer with LED display. I've found I like 5v with a 3ohm cartomizer best. I'm not a math wizard so I don't know how this translates to 1ohm or 1.5ohm cartomizers.

I've already got a buttload of juices to my cart (five 4oz doublers in custom flavors to my tasting), and at 80$ it's not bad or so I've heard. I want to keep everything under 250$ after taxes and shipping, so that leaves me maybe 120-130$ for a mod.

Any suggestions?

Hey Buddeh,

Welcome to the forums! I am going to put my vote in for a Silver Bullet. You can rock an 18650 at 3.7 volts and with a 2ohm-ish cartomizer and get similar results or you can rock 6V with a 3ohm+ cartomizer setup. The silver bullet is legendary for its reliability and cost. Here is a groovy two-part review:

I will say just go big and get a ProVari. They are probably the most popular mod and very easy to use.

This is true too, but if you want to keep it below that cost for sure, it is a bit of a leap. In the long run though you will still save money and it will likely be the last Mod you'll ever need

On order of price..
Roughstack $45
Silver bullet $95
Provari $175

Add battery and charger.

Thanks, boyos. The SB looks really sleek and durable, so that is also an option. I just love the tube Provari-shaped mods, and not so much box mods. If I can get 5v/3ohm performance at 3.7v/2ohm, then I guess the need for a regulator is moot. The SB at 95$ leaves a lot of room for extra batteries and cartomizers.

While the Provari looks very nice and I hear it's the cream of the crop of ecigs, it's a little too out of my price-range. While I'm going to save a buttload by getting a mod/juices rather than buying 2 packs of smokes a day, I still feel 175$ is too much of an initial investment for a hobby I'm not entirely sure I'll be that invested in. I don't want to start with 10/10 because my perspective on ecigs would be skewed. I'd rather start with a 5/10 or 6/10 like the SB or Diamante.

Makes sense, although I would consider the SB a 9/10 at least

Roughstack is 7/10 and I absolutely love it. Comparable specs for half the price. You can run it at 3.7 4.8 6 or 7.4 depending on choice of batteries (same as the SB)

Money you save now is money towards provari later

Then it's settled: I'll grab the SB the next time you make an order (hopefully Thursday), 24oz of juice, and other miscellanea I might need for my first ecig mod.

Thanks to all those who helped. I wish there was a feedback or thanks system so I could give you all +1 rep.
