I would like to have the ability to switch between voltage but if 5V or 6V is "perfect" for me its not too important. Shipping time is sorta important. I was set on the V3 bc you can go 3v or 6v. Then i read all over 6 is too high that 5 is sweet spot so i leaned towards GLV2 then i seen infinity black and chrome with thumb dial for a good price. Basically my head is spinning from all the reviews and i need help. Shout out to Pharaoh and Swap1 they have been helping me through PM and are probably tired of my many questions. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks guys

Hi, wf!
I cannot really advise you because I do not own any of those yet. I do have a GLV2 on the way. But just an observation to offer, or two. The Prodigy is well considered, but you are right - it is 3.7 or 6. And many find 6 too much - unless- you use hv atties or cartos. Then, it's ok. The GLV2 is 5v; and that is what I chose myself. I have a Megalodon with a couple of 5v batteries for it (it can use a wide range of batteries and be either 3.7 or 5v depending on the batteries that you use). I like 5v vaping with a standard resistance carto. But the 5v batteries for the Megalodon have only 400 mah - not much for me. The Infinity sounds great, and being vv you can adjust to exactly what you like. But the Infinity takes a special 14430 battery that as far as I know is not available anywhere but notcigs.com. That may or may not matter to you at all. And the 14430 batteries for the Infinity are lower mah than the 16340 batteries for the GLV2. But...the Infinity is vv! And the batts are 650 mah compared to 750 mah - not a big difference.

So, just a few thoughts, but no recommendation.
Best of luck whichever way you choose!

I have a 5v GLV2,I absoulutly love it.My coworker has the V3.He hated 6v,tooo hot, and is only using it at 3.7.Plus he has alot of firing problems and gets very frustrated with it.I personally would choose between the GLV2 or the Infinity.I dont care for VV because I know I want 5v.Its up to you,just get what you think will make you happy.

My first mod was a buzz. I wanted to know what the hype of more voltage was without being stuck with high voltage. Glv2 is great too, but now I mostly use 6 volts with standard atties. Everyones got different needs so if your not sure what they are yet you can't go wrong with variable voltage, its the best of all worlds! All these devices are great quality.

I have owned a GLV-2 5V and currently own an Infinity. Both have been exceptional PV's for me, so this is a tough question. My only problem with 5V mods is just that...they are 5V all the time. Everyone says 5V is perfect, but that is not always true. My sweet spot runs closer to 4.5V, so I grew tired of being stuck at 5V constantly. This being your first mod, it is really an unknown what voltage is for you. GLV build quality and reliability are amazing, The Infinity or any VV mod does have more that can go wrong with it, but the upside is being able to choose any voltage you desire. The decision is yours....

Just got my Infinity, really can't tell much difference in the juices, but seem to like them just a little more at 4.5. My pt is too hot with some juices and some are a little better on the ego. So I guess the infinity is a good thing. Would really like a GLV that was also a VV. I just like the way it looks. Would be nice if the ego could go just a little higher, may have to go to a higher atty one of these days.

My first Mod was The Chuck... good for 3.6 or 6.0 vaping. Also, it's the
ONLY mod I know of that let's you use custom artwork on it.

I also have a Silver Bullet. It has a better button. lol

I just sold my Chuck, and I'm moving to the ProVari for variable volt
vaping. It's going to come in handy with all the different juices and
devices I'm trying now like Cartomizers, Tank Mods, etc.

It's too bad also, cuz there was a brand new Infinity in the classifieds yesterday.
