amp switch?

[Gnimmel]

I'm looking to buy my first vv pv and have been looking at the Knight Rider and Starfire, both from www.ecigcharleston.com. The main reason for this is price and shipping, everything I've ordered from them takes 3 days to get here at only 1.99 shipping and both these devices are $69.99.

I've only found a few reviews of these, but they where all positive and the price is great for a VV. It seems the main difference between them from their descriptions is that one has a 2.5 amp switch (Knight rider) and the other a 3.9 amp switch.

Basically, what does this do? and what noticible differences does this make in their performance?

Just to add, the reason for the looking at VV is trying to get a better th than I do with a ego battery.

The higher amp switch will let you run a carto at a higher voltage. It really comes in handy with dual-coil cartos. With a 1.5 ohm DCC you will hit 2.5 amps at 3.75 volts. Same carto will hit 3.9 amps at 5.85 volts.

Not a bad choice for an entry level VV APV
Here is the same mod for 10 bucks less, and I'm sure that if you look around you can even find it for less yet.
THE MINI CYLON VV MOD

49$ looks even better, guess we should have looked at the site a little closer, without worthless bats & charger. (you want better bats and charger anyway)

Thanks for the quick replies.

I think a battery and charger would be handy or else it's going to be a very cold vap
So from this, it looks like I'm looking at the starfire than, because it has a higher amp switch.

Thanks,

The problem is that if you wish to take advantage of the amp limit you want to have batteries (like AW IMR) that can handle the load. Otherwise there is no reason to spring for the higher amp limit. There is more to it than just having a switch/booster that can handle the load. You also want a better quality charger that is SAFE.

Sorry, but I just have a real problem with manufacturers bundling their APV's with the cheapest batteries & chargers that they can find.

Sorry, I missed the "worthless bats" in your last post. I see what you mean, so basically it would be better to buy just the APV without batteries and then also pick up better bats and charger.

Thanks,

Money spent on quality batteries and charger is worth it for the peace of mind. The higher limit one is best to have even if you do not require the maximum limit now it may prove handy in the future.

JMHO

It was a lot easier a few months ago when all I had to do was pick up a pack of smokes from anywhere and set fire to them
Oh well, it's totaly worth the switch and I'll soon know a lot more about electronics.

Yup, gotta become an electrical engineer, a gadget freak, and a techno nerd
