Looking at purchasing another APV. I have a Vamo V5 but want a 2nd mod. I would like it to have replaceable batteries so it rules out MVP (even though I know its a good mod). Would be using protanks on it. Any suggestions? Thanks.
HD.
I know this may come out wrong, but here it goes.
It sounds like you're chasing a Unicorn. You want a nice APV under 100.00 which uses replaceable batteries. This means you expect the device to last over a year to a year and a half,
Well the sub $100 mod's are just not built to last over a year. I'm not knocking them, but a lot of them are just not built with the components that can handle consistent use 24/7/365.
Say you perform 300 fire button pushes a day of vaping (not inconceivable) you are looking at almost 110,000 button pushes a year. A ProVari's switch, for example, is rated for 5 million actuations. This means the switch should last about 45 years....
I personally think if you don't mind replacing a mod every year or year and a half, buy an MVP and don't worry about it. You don't need to carry around spare batteries or a charger or any of that nonsense. It will most likely last you your year or year and a half, and then bang, get another one.
If you do want it to last, then you have to spend more than a Benji. Now you are into ProVari, Semovar, ZNA price range. I thought that VW was a hill to die on but have really not missed it on my Kayfuns since I routinely build 2.0 ohm coils and have retired all my ProTanks.
Here's my suggestion. Buy an MVP for now. You will get one of the best vapes available for the price. Then save up the sheckels and if you want to keep buying MVP's great. If not, then use what you saved to get a better quality Mod. One that you know will last longer than the batteries you put in it. (like a ZNA, ProVari, Semovar, etc....)
