Coming up on 5months, time to upgrade my setup.

[BleedingOrange36]

How's everyone doing?
I've been vaping since November 21st. I started with a vision spinner 1300 and a vivi nova from my local brick and mortar.
I've since switched over to a Texas tuff tank and 3 ohm cartos at around 4.3-4.8v.
I'm usually a 4ml a day vaper, 24mg.
My current juice is Ice Ice from vape dudes, mixed with some super nova from 9southvapes.
I'm in desperate need of an upgrade, but I'm limited on funds at the moment.
I have been putting off getting verified to access the classifieds on here.
I'm looking for another VV, but not sure what to get. I really want a provari... Who doesn't.. Lol
There are soo many options out there, its hard for me to pull the trigger on a new setup.
I continue to place items in my carts on different sites, but always get sidetracked and put off an order.
I would like to get into rebuildable's, but there is soo much junk floating around I'm not sure which one to get.
I have converted a bunch of people I know, and bought my girlfriend her ego-w when I got mine.... We have ditched the clearomizers... And she's also using a Texas tuff tank.
Soo..... Any info on an ideal setup for me to look at.
I like an aggressive throat hit and big punch.
I usually find myself taking a 15sec hit off of my setup... I let up on the button right before it flashes and press and hold again. I need something with some more muscle behind it.
Anyone with used items laying around fell free to let me know what you have.
Thanks

Though I haven't used one myself a lot of people speak highly of the Vamo when it comes to VV and a good price point. Or just save up the cash and buy a Provari. I've had one for two weeks now (been vaping for 2 months) and I'm now one of those 'get a provari' people …

IMO it's this simple, there are many great VV devices out there for under 70$ they will 100% do the job, some better than others. Then there's the Provari, its expensive because its the best. Everything about it from the build quality to the quality of the vape (I think it's a better vape than my evic) is simply the best I've used yet for VV and I'm fairly certain it can't get better.

I was setting up a group buy for Evics at $40 a kit shipped but I backed out due to spending the funds on a motorcycle.
I'm going to look into the vamo. How about a tank or Atty?

Congrats on approaching 5 months of being smoke free.

Could possibly wait a bit longer for the mod that you want, while you save up a bit more?

Is the provari worth the extra $100 over a vamo? How fast is the shipping from provari? I would need it within 2wks at the longest.
Any suggestions on an atty? Or stick with the tuff tank, it has been great so far. But I've only tried this and a vivi nova.

After owning two vamos and 3 provari's, Yes they are worth the extra money. The vamo body is a press fit and can be destroyed but a firm tug on the body. The DNA board is junk (as are all the Chinese mods.). I'm not trying to start something in this thread but the quality of the vamo is really not very good. You can also check out a mod and place a kick in it.

I have a Vamo and agree it isnt the best built mod out there but the price point isnt bad. I recently picked up an iTaste MVP, for the money its the best mod I've bought. Its sturdy, VV (only up to 5v) and comes ready to use out of the box.

 

[BleedingOrange36]

Anyone familiar with the tesla?
I keep going back to the provari.... Such a beautiful piece of vape goodness.
But at $200 its a bit over budget for me. I need a bunch of stuff at the moment.... leathers for the track, ammo, going to florida on vaca in 15days...and am trying to spend as least as possible and still get a decent VV.... And hopefully VW.
My spinner is starting to fall apart. I have a ego passthrough just Incase, but I'm trying to make my mind up ASAP.
Anyone know of any good vape shops in SW FL? Reasonable priced?

Hi...I have a vamo and have no desire to get something else...its great!

 

[Riversong]

For the money, the Vamo is good. I'd like a Provari someday, but even then i'll want my Vamo. My thinking here is that there are some situations where i'm more likely to have an accident and drop my PV (like a trip to the fair with the family). Times like those, i'd use my Vamo. If I drop it on the midway, which is paved, or misplace it somewhere I won't be as bent out of shape as I would be with the Provari.
My point...get both! lol.

At an extra $100.00 over what you are looking at and considering you have other expenditures in mind, I would hold off on getting the provari for now.

Yeah let me rephrase my previous post...I meant Vamo now, Provari later. Oops.

 

[BleedingOrange36]

Anyone ever use high desert vapes?
They have the vamo in black for $59 as a kit. Looks like a great price.

How fast are their shipping times?
I'm a rather inpatient person, and hate waiting for stuff haha.

I understood lol.
I guess I'll just grab this vamo, if I like it I will grab another for my g/f. Then slowly start putting money aside for a provari soon. Maybe use some money as soon as I sell my reptile collection and some other stuff.

I have not tried the vendor that you mentioned personally, so sorry I can't help there! I did look at the link and see that you're getting one battery with that unit. I would strongly suggest getting a second battery so you can have one charging while one is in use. I got my vamo from exhale vapors but I don't see a full kit there.

Thank you. I actually have a surplus of 18650 batteries laying around. One of my flashlights uses that battery. I will grab an additional one though, the battery supplied is a cheap Chinese rechargeable bomb.... I've had bad experiences with Chinese cr123a's.

For my 5 month I went with Provari. They will out last most others. If you buy 2 vamo's a year that pays for the Provari!

Ok, I took the dive and decided to grab the vamo for now.
I'm going to start a provari fund, it just wasn't in my reach at the moment.
It kind of like walking onto a car lot..... You see the new vette sitting up front and say wow!! I want that!
But them you realize you need to tow stuff and can't afford the 60k sticker price.
So I grabbed the silverado for a little more than half, but its practical for me at the moment haha.....
True story!
Here's a breakdown of my order.

I grabbed a spare batt to have with me and charge while not in use. I also grabbed a rebuildable tank to give it a shot.... Some extra wire also.
Did I do alright?

Looks good to me! If you need help with it once you get it, let us know.
