APV Reliability

[Bull55]

I've been vaping for 6 months. I DIY my e-liquids and use ego 1000 mah batteries and drip onto a LR 306 atty. Would like to try high power vaping with variable voltage but I don't want (at least not yet) to get into making my own mod.
Would like to purchase a very reliable APV that is well made and from a company that is not likely to stop making them. Additionally, I don't want to have to "baby" the hardware.
Does anyone have suggestions for what to purchase? The ProVari looks like a reasonable choice, but I defer to the more experienced vapers on this forum. The price of the hardware is not a main consideration. I do understand how volts and resistance affect the vaping experience. Thanks.

Many company's make revised mods to up grade from a previous version. Provari is going to be the king of VV(variable voltage) this doesn't mean it is going to be the best, a lot of fan boys will disagree. If you want something cheap to start out with for VV I would go with the eGo Twist. If you want an actual tube mod the Vamo or a Zmax will fit perfectly(these two mods are VV and VW(variable wattage)

Hope this helps T41CK

OK, so I'll look at Vamo and Zmax. I've been all over ProVape's site looking at the ProVari. If the ProVari is the "king", but not necessarily the "best," what is the best in your opinion?

 

[T41CK]

The best Can be determined by different factors...price...duability...features...warrenties...supplier...and connection(510, 901, 808 etc etc) IMO the best overall considering all these factors would have to be the vamo. It has been a hot commodity around here lately

I've got two Vamo's and now problems with either the version 1 or version 2. Also got a Provari and some twist, and spinners, and itasteVV. All have served me well. For the price you can't beat the Vamo. Under $50 usd.

It really depends on several things:
1. Whats your budget?
2. How big of a mod do you want?
3. How long do you want the battery to last?
4. Do you change ohms on your delivery device(tanks, attys, whatever) throughout the day.

The "best" is determined by the output, and you should check out the results of the vamo and zmax. They are on par with the provari to which they are compared. If you want a disposable unit with no warranty made in china but a good price, I would say Vamo. What I mean by disposable is that they are not repairable when they fail.

If you want a unit with mil-spec innards, that others have accidentally been through the washing machine, dropped in a cup of coffee, and for that matter dropped a ton of times and STILL works, (and if it didn't has a warranty and is repairable after warranty with great customer service in the USA), then the Provari is the one.

I use the vamo and my ProVari, and I like them both. But from your original post, I would say you want the ProVari.

A couple of questions for the OP.

Do you just want VV or do you want VW?

As you like to drip have you thought about bottom feeders?

Reo makes a vv bottom feeder as well as in the forums here you will find many who use either VV or VW in making wood bottom feeders.

If you want a box mod without being a bottom feeder there are many options there as well in both VV and VW

Nancy makes some good points about the Reo, and I understand they also have good customer service should something go wrong, but since I don't own one (yet) perhaps that can be clarified?

I look at it like this; 5 volts is as high as I need to go. In fact 5 volts is a sweet spot for me and the 5 volt GLV is a no nonsense and sturdy mod. I like my provari fine but when you have found yer favorite atty, carto, RBA, or tank, a fixed voltage device is a good choice and a whole lot less fiddley. No issues with a GLV just push the button and vape. The VV and V wattage mods are cool to try out many different accessories at different resistances. They are also handy for testing RBA coils if you don't have a meter without shorting out the device or wreckin' the battery. I only have ego twists and the provari but the provari is american made and can be repaired should it ever fail (mine is going strong at 1.5 years). Either way I would hate for you to be dissappointed so my advice is to read every review of the devices you are thinkin' of buyin' before you make the plunge.

I was looking for ruggedness and reliability too, and I chose the Saber Touch based on the advice of the fine folks at ECF.

I couldn't be happier. It's insanely reliable, good looking and tough as old boots. It's made in the USA, and has a gazillion options in terms of size/finish/vv/kick and passthrough. AND it has a five year warranty. I just love it.
