Battery Mod help / suggestions

[eris667]

Hey, new member, year long lurker
I have been vaping for about 12 months, I went through this battery cycle ego 800, spinner 1300, Vamo, SVD
I really like the vamo in 18350 mode,but my 510 threads are about wiped out after 2 months of use, I decided to replace with a SVD and I am noticing similar wear after 1 month.
I am a flavor junkie so I normally have 4 tanks with me and about 15 at home that I cycle through.

So my question: is it worthwhile to get a higher end VW mod? ( Recommendation ?)Reading forum posts the 510 / ego connection seems to be the weakest link on even the Provari. Or is it better to go with a solid Mechanical with replaceable top caps and a kick? ( Recommendation?) I normally vape between 6-7 watts @ 2 ohm. I enjoy ProTanks and Carto tanks with the occasional RBA / RDA.

I rebuild my protank coils and RBA / RDA, and I am hoping to start mixing my own juice in the next few months.

I appreciate any advice or guidance.

Another option would be to get a $2 adapter to put on your apv and use it for the frequent tank changes.

I picked up a few airflow adapters and I was looking at the 510 shorty adapters. The airflow adapter has my Vamo working again.

If you wear them out that fast, you might want to look into a provari.

I would second on an adapter if your threads are getting worn after 2 months... hard to believe those threads are wearing out. You must be replacing those tanks 20+ times a day haha

Anyway, go with an adapter, it will save your threads on your mods.
From what I see, you are going with the fast tech items (Ive had the same mods for about 6 months and never worn threads), but if you have the money to spend.. provari's are solid.

Was just lookng at the zmax as well - I stay on fasttech and vapor joes, my only hang up on the provari is the cost of 2 (wife gets same upgrade) I put a tank on about 10x a day +/- and store with no tank

My vote is for an adapter too, that way you just put on the adapter then the carto and you don't have to worry about wearing out your apv's threads.

Cheapest solution would be to use an adaptor. Hopefully you won't mind the extra length it adds to your gear.

If that doesn't work, I suggest go with a Provari. Although the connector is the weakest link on a Provari (on any mod for that matter), its connector is by far more durable than any mod made in China.

Went in to a local shop today and they recommended a magneto mechanical with a kick, had not heard much on mechanical from this thread

What about building a mech from these
Maintenance - FatDaddyVapes.com - Home of the best vaping equipment, eliquids, and supplies!!!
Can build a telescoping magnetic switch mech and add a kick to get VW, + easy to replace top cap 18350 to 18650 battery

I am jumping in to the deep end?
