Best battery for getting into RDA'ing?

[Diogenes]

So with the VW, the way it works is pretty much that when you first fire the battery, it automatically chooses a voltage, but then you can change it from there?

Yes, you can change it. That's why it's called variable.

But no device out there is simply VW, so no issue there! I can always try it out, see how the difference effects my vaping!

Actually, there is a device out there that is just VW, the Innokin iTaste 134.

One thing too, is that virtually no MVP2 seems to come with a wall charger ... would anyone know if the wall charger on the $40-MVP2 website would be safe to use for the MVP2, or again, if it's just a wall charger, does that mean safe is safe is safe?

As long as the wall adapter puts out the standard voltage for USB 2.0, it would be fine. Actually, your iPhone charger would work, as it produces the exact amount of power as a USB 2.0 does. If you want to get away from wall charging, GoalZero does make some nice solar products that would be able to charge your MVP, iPhone, etc.

Oh, btw, does the Spinner have a DNA20 chip - looks like we're getting down to real business with that type of question. I just, ya know, am trying to avoid anything that can be described as an inconsistent vape on the battery's end, as much as possible (for my experience-level/price range.)

It's been stated a DNA20 chip goes for around $50, and is larger than your Spinner. If your Spinner had it, it would be bigger and have cost much, much more.

But as always, I guess I can't expect perfection (or truly even try to look into it all) if in the end, I'm trying to go with something simple and with a bunch of fancy LCD gadgets! lol.

See, here's a problem, your attitude. From this, and other threads, it seems like you want the perfect vape, but keep getting crap. Maybe you've set the bar too high here, making the perfect vape unrealistic. How about starting where something tastes good. Get good at recreating that, and then try to improve. If it doesn't work, you then know you're at the apex. If the vape gets better, BONUS!

Great post btw Texas - makes good sense what you say about the charging! I will go ahead and trust that information! Good little tip about not leaving it in the computer to long! If anyone does have any negative experiences or facts to add to that, as always, love to hear it.

Actually, I did have something to add, but I added it way in the beginning.

It comes with a USB cord that has a tri-head adapter on it, for older iPods, iPhones, and iPads, a mini USB, and a micro USB port. If you are going to charge your MVP off your computer, (or really any battery that uses a USB cord for charging), make sure the USB port is a USB 2.0 port. Otherwise, you can use a standard cellphone charger that uses a micro-USB port for charging. I've used a Samsung charger for both my MVP and my eVic and have never had any problems at all.

Dang, completely forgot about that one and the Cool Fire 2 and I own both of them. Talked out of turn and stubbed my toe.

But in all honesty, GN would go berserk with a 134 because it buzzes (33 MHz PWM Rattlesnake) so that's completely out of the question. Can't comment on the CF2 because I have never taken it out of the package.

When you take the pin outta the grenade, please let us know what you think. Wondering about how it fits in a front shirt pocket and if the dial moves around too much. I'm thinking of it for the husband for the just cool factor. He's so good about getting vape toys for me, I'd like to surprise him.

Will do. I actually left it at home because when I went to Seattle right after New Years I was only expecting a 7 to 10 day trip. All that changed and they re-assigned me for 60 days so my wife is sending a care package that should arrive here at the hotel on Wednesday.

I'd love to know how security was with that! Before the rule making it mandatory to take off your shoes, I got into it with a TSA agent in Little Rock. He was "suggesting" that I take off my all leather cowboy boots so I wouldn't set off the metal detector. I informed him that I had been through security several times already without any problems, (long layover, tall beers, and lack of an in-terminal smoking area). He kept going on and on, telling me that it would just save time. I finally had enough and yelled at him, "I'm not taking my GD boots off!" and walked through the metal detector, with nary a beep. Let me tell you this, those TSA agents multiply faster than rabbits! Next thing I know I've got a pack of them around me, trying to figure out what to do. At least they escorted me back to the bar, and recommended that I don't smoke anymore.....I don't remember the flight to Dallas after that...

Well we fly our own planes so no TSA to worry about, the only officials that we have to deal with are Customs and they could care less about vape gear.

Nice new title, catalinaflyer. Did you pick it out yourself?

I know this is off topic for this thread but there is no such thing as a topic in GN threads anyway, just a place for him to spread his psychobabble.

Okay MissKitty47, been rocking the Grenade since last night and it's good but the only thing that sets it apart from other devices is the design. As for fitting in a shirt pocket, my opinion is it's too heavy and I don't have pockets in my shirts. The other thing, which BTW is no issue for me, it has a low resolution chip so it has the rattlesnake buzz like all other 33 MHz chip devices.

I've been firing my new found love, a cartomizer (it's all Baditudes fault) and so far it's been fantastic at firing it.

Now the down side, it's an 18350 device so the battery is only 800 mAh and the life is pretty short. Not a problem but definitely not 18650 level when it come to vape time. I hit it pretty hard so I go through batteries pretty fast.

I'm probably going to put it back in the box and put it away but at least I can now say I have one. Didn't touch the Iclear 30B clearo that came with it, no desire to even try it since discovering cartomizers.

 

[MissKitty47]

Never touch those clearos, lol! Thank you...I will probably buy him one just so he can pull it out during Vietnam stories, then. Thanks a million to your better half for including it in the care package!

She's "one in a million" for putting up with me and my job. This is normal for me, heading out for a week long assignment and getting "reassigned" to some "special project" that keeps me gone for many weeks up to many months. But at least my company will fly her out for a weekend every 2 to 3 weeks provided were working in a "safe" environment.

And yes, if your better half likes Vietnam stories then taking a long vape from a hand grenade mid story would be the icing on the cake!

 

[MissKitty47]

I think I'll have the youngest missy get it for Dad for just cuz...surprise him that way!

… except for the Smoktech SID! which you should also check out too if you're interested(you can find it for around 48ish dollars online).

Just wanted to add, I think I saw a place, I can't remember where maybe i can check my browser history, where you could get a SID for $29.99. Surely that is a great buy for what it is!

Edit: Here it is $29.99 Smoktech SID

BTW Goodnews!, I used to sing that jingle "Good News, Cigarette Juice" when I found my first vape shop, and for at least a month after!
