Considering a new APV

[J.R. Bob Dobbs]

I have a provari, i love it.

I am thinking possibly an Evic. But definitely not any sort of a hybrid mod. Maybe a box mod of some sort? I would like variable wattage but its not a big decision maker either way. I would like something durable like the provari, but still some sort of APV.

Hopefully you guys have some good suggestions.

i like my SVD. it cheap on fasttech. maybe look at a reo. they are suppose to be very durable. from what i have read evic is a bit fragile. really depends on how much you want to spend. lots of people really like the Vamo in stainless

What's your price range?

 

[J.R. Bob Dobbs]

no real price range, but i'd say im not entirely willing to drop 500$

 

[J.R. Bob Dobbs]

anybody?
got any suggestions?

I love Hana Modz V2 Pack, and the Fazed Mods look nice too. Both are DNA20 boxes, both in the $250 range. Also, Duggout Mods, here on ECF are good, and a little cheaper (when available).

links top places i might see one of these? Im lazy and google hates me i think.

Google doesn't hate. But maybe you should give Bing a whirl to see how that works out for ya.

If you have a Provari, you don't need an Evic. Have you thought about getting a Genesis atty to put on top of the Provari? I have been using a DID: The Standard DID (D20) POLISHED | ATOMIZERS | mmvapors.com on top of my Provari with good results. I've also used a couple of other attys as well and have enjoyed the flexibility of the Provari.

I've never been a big fan of box mods, but I've heard everyone likes the REO. reosmods.com

The EPM mod could be an option for you. It's variable power from 2-16 watts in 0.1 increments, built like a ProVari, massive battery life, stainless steel base and body with delrin top, best button I've ever used on a PV, has an on/off switch making it pocket friendly. You can also check your ohms and remaining battery life. It's not cheap (around $230 from memory) and is heavy, but the dual 18490 version is shorter than a ProVari mini with about 3 times the battery life. It's made in Australia:

I might have to agree with our Australian friend. As you can see here, the dual 18650 is only slight taller than a Hana, and built like a brick ___house. He's right, it's heavy, but oh-so-worth it.

I'll be going into much greater detail in a week or two, after the novelty has worn off and I've had a chance to really put it through its paces. But the early returns are tremendously positive. In fact, I'm literally floored by its performance and build quality.

Do you already have a device that can read ohms and battery voltage? If so, you may want to think about a mech with a kick. If you don't already have a device that can tell you ohms/voltage, the Sigelei Zmax V3 Telescopic is pretty f-ing sweet. It's more solidly built than the Vamo and is a little smaller.

Glad to hear your EPM arrived safely and great to hear you're enjoying it so far. It's a bit like the ProVari in that you really need to hold it to understand the quality of the PV, can't wait for your review.

The battery indicator finally started blinking. All I can say is, "Wow." That's from Tuesday evening, around 19:00 (ET). I wasn't using it exclusively, but it was taking up a majority of my vape. Quite impressive, from any perspective.

As a frame of reference, I will get 4-6 hours from one 2250mah 18650 in a Provari.

And I agree completely about your comparison to Provari in the "need to hold it" area. It gets one's attention immediately, at the point of unpacking.
