    No worse than half a flash-light, boxes that look like they belong with a slot racing track, or other phallic looking thinggies.

    ROFL

    Now I feel socially acceptable when out in public

    I'd have to answer with "The Classy GG". I haven't seen a more classier pv yet, and it's been ahead of it's time since it's conception, and is always unbelievably improving.

    Otherwise, I'd have to say the best is yet to come.

    Headway is being made every day we vape. They're now talking about Darwins in beautiful bodies, Drip on demand vvpv's, affordable vv's with lockable settings, .... you name it, they're inventing it.

    Hang onto your hats, ladies & gentlemen, we're in for a wild ride!

    Provided that you don't mind walking around vaping on what looks like a recycled laptop battery.

    No difference than those "honkers" sitting in front of the duck in your profile picture. Actually, I get more comments that it looks either like a tape recorder or a laser finder, which is cool.

    But-but I wove my honckers :blush:

    BTW, the honker, second from right, is the same size as my index finger. (carto & drip tip included)

    I vote Buzz Pro. It doesnt have the read outs of others, but I vape by how I like the inhale. I can dial up or down from there. The LEDs only tell me where I like a certain flavor or brand of carto/clearo. Change up and readjust. Same as a Buzz Pro. If I really HAVE TO KNOW, I pull out a multimeter. Same job done.
    I've tried the Darwin. Its a cool unit, but I dont need the bells and whistles to know when to reset for taste. It would also mean owning 2 Darwins for me, as I CAN run down its battery before bedtime. At least with the rechargeable batteries, I just change and continue. Plus I see more Darwin and Provari "help its broke" type theads than Buzz "its broke" threads. One of my Buzz's took a bath. Pulled batts, dried, and it kept working. Not sure anyone who owns a Provari or Darwin can say that?
    On the other hand, I will not own a black/gray PV, and prefer to keep away from fingerprint magnets.

    If you want a set voltage unit, GG, Rio, and GLV are high on my list(GG is a print magnet).

    But time to jump in. Enjoy the waters.

    I don't think one PV could do everything I like my multiple PV's to do.

    I like having a mechanical mod as a back up device, preferably one that can take a wide range of batteries like the empire mod (which I don't have) or a prodigy with an adjustable dummy battery.

    I like one ultra portable very cheap PV, a 510 with a 2.0ohm boge cartomizer on it, not the best vape I own but its pretty good and more importantly I take three of those ($21 dollars worth) out to a ball game or a night on the town and don't really care if I loose one. Good for drives as well.

    A VV is nice to crank up a dieing atomizer. A wood mod makes a nice around the house mod and probably looks better than any other type of mod to me.


    No one PV is ever going to do all things at all times.

    Is the Provari a complete unit on its own or do you have to put in different atomizers and such? Is it a tank system?

    Something needs to be said about the provari vs darwin comparison. Since I have a Darwin and a VV device Lavatube. comparing the Darwin to the provari to me is like comparing an apple to an orange. Both may be fruit, but they're not the same.
    The Provari is a variable voltage device that the user select from something like 3v-7v. You have to select the proper voltage with the resistance of the atty or cartomizer your using. example on the provari using a 1.7ohm atty you wouldn't dial in a 6v setting to many volts and you will get that nice burnt taste.

    Now the Darwin is a variable wattage device that automatically senses the resistance and adjusts for proper volts and amps.
    you can crank up the wattage to increase or decrease the warmness of the vape, which will have an impact on the voltage but not like you would think. I'm using a 1.3ohm dual coil cartomizer and if I turn up the power all the way to 12.7 watts I get.
    4.3v,3.0amps,. If I turn the power all the way down to 4.2 watts I get 3.5v,2.5amps. so any resistance will vape at any wattage because it will adjust the volts and amps to keep you from overdoing it. The provari puts out watt you dial in.

    So Like I said at this moment in time in the vaping world. No other device out there like the Darwin

    I only have a provari and other vv devices. But I 100% agree the comparision is apples to oranges. I been researching Darwins and I agree it is a totally different beast. I love my provari but I also think getting a darwin will be in my future

    I have a similar question. I currently have a reo mini, which is great for home use. But I am looking for something less bulky when out and about. I was thinking of just getting a regular joye 510. Do you guys think this would be my best bet? Im looking for something that looks somewhat similar to a real cig.

    Hmm, if your looking for something that is less bulky then a REO mini. Then I would suggest you taking a look at the VOLT. Still use mine's sometimes when I'm out and about:

    Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic Cigarette | Electronic Cigarettes | Wholesale Electronic Cigarettes | E-Cigarette | Best Electronic Cigarette | Electronic Cigarette

    You can piece together the Pro kit since they're out I think. But, it shouldn't be to long before they re-stock.

    What about the tiny Precise, the P10? I got asked to please stop smoking every time I used it.
