@wv2win, True, twist are overpriced, I still have one as it was was first step up from simple ego batts from my early
vaping days.
My next step had me deciding between a Lavatube or a Provari, I had actually ordered a ~ just announced at the time ~ an Apollo SS VTube, but since it took them forever to release it I just cancelled the ordered an ordered a provari, I have not regret it.
Now I order Panasonic 18650 batts from Fasttech and Amazon (bought 6 between the two recently) that cost me between $6.5 and $10 a pop, those last me a day and a half to two days of 6 to 8 ml of vaping a day.
I did revisit the Darwin at the link you posted yesterday, at $258 (an recurring argument against against the provari is how 'expensive' it is, but the tube alone if $170) I think it should have VV as well. I barely use VW on my Vamo (every juice / device is better at a slight different wattage)
Still, I can't argue on price alone, it's the same about the Vamo / ZMax / Provari, one can also buy a Smok the Natural for $50 (as I did and I'm VERY happy with it) or a $240+ GGTS (as I didn't and wont, but mostly cause I hate hunting down devices)
also, looking at the pics of the Darwin, I just can't see how one can put the arm in the OFF position with an AGA-T or RSST attached to it.
But hey, you love the device, good for you, I LIKE my provari, a lot, but I'm not a fanboy, it could have many improvements as well:
- Flat top for looks (personal pref),
- 4 or 4.5 amp switch (I can only use .8 ohms-up attys currently),
- OLED Screen with multiple info at once (ohms + volts or watts + battery left)
- analog jog (not stepped) / button for adjustments
Now, THAT would be an ideal device
