So I recently switched from a standard 510 battery to the Twists, I love 'em.

I recently ordered an Anyvape CVI, it's a vv/vw AVP.

Anyway, I'm waiting for it to come in the mail.

I'm curious to know, from you guys with a Provari, Vamo or other AVP, is the experience more enjoyable?

If so, why?

And if not, why spend the money on an AVP?

I'm just curious and excited to try one out for myself.

Thanks!

I agree... I have the eGo T as well and a Zmax and am waiting on a Vamo... The ability to adjust the Wattage as opposed to the Voltage makes a huge difference to me... more heat, more vape, different flavor... so in short YES !!! It does make a difference, a very noticable one.

By the way... I looked at the Anyvape CVI but couldn't find any good solid reviews... let us know how you like it when you get it... it looks like it would do all the things I am interested in I was just afraid to be the guinie pig if you will.

I was actually looking into a Vamo. I was at my local shop, and the guy there (who I trust) mentioned it to me. He said he heard they're great, and he was actually sending me to his competition in doing so, his shop doesn't stock AVP's, so I'm trusting him.

I've been looking for reviews too. I'll definitely do one.

There's one here in the forum, and I found this today on Youtube...

ANYVAPE CVI APV MOD E-CIG - YouTube

The gist of the video is that he likes it.

Excited to try it out. And thanks for the replies!

I dig my APV because of its sturdiness & heft, ability to change out batteries / long life plus I wanted better power regulation (the twist can't keep voltage constant during a drag or as the battery dies).

I like the look of the CVI V1, not so much the eVic clone appearance of the V2.

An APV, particularly one with VV and VW allows you to tailor your vape, regardless of the battery condition, type of juice, or the resistance of your carto. They also accommodate a much larger battery, so you never have to worry about being stuck with a dying 510 or ego while you realized your "other" battery just went on charge a few minutes ago.

VW is especially nice in that you never have to decide between what resistance to use. If you like a certain juice at 9 watts, for example, you set your machine to 9 watts and pretty much throw whatever carto/clearo you have on it. You won't have to re-adjust the voltage to compensate for this or that resistance.

With either VW or VV, you can just use anything in the 2.5-3.5 ohm range and you'll get consistent results regardless.

IMHO my twists give the same vape using the same juice delivery device as my vamo or provari do. Now battery life and functionality are a different story. No way to check resistance on a twist and they look like a lamp post with a 5ml carto tank on top. No way to tell how much battery life is left or nearly as much longevity with a 650mah twist vs a 2250mah 18650. Twists are accurate and work great for the money though and are a regular recommendation of mine to people new to vaping. Many people with some of the more expensive devices have twists or spinners around because they are so great. Do I prefer my vamo or provari, you bet. It's nice to know whats going on to fine tune the vape to your liking and my provari mini is my goto device when going out being that build quality is noticably better and I tend to use my vamo at home for the lazy factor of VW and using RBA's with random resistance coils... does that mean you need to go out and spend $160 right now on a Provari? No, but if you desire to, there is a high chance you won't regret it.

I'm sure you will like that CVI, it appears to be a fantastic first mod. Beware the add to cart bug, it may bite lol

I have an assortment of pv's and think each one has its place. I carry a 650 twist with a t3 for short outings or when size will be an issue, but the rest of the time I use a dna20 box mod that has an insane 20 watt limit with an amp rating that would be hard to max out.

The DNA definitely provides a better vape, but I think I'll always have a charged twist for the same reason I have a pair of ratty shoes for muddy days

First post!!

I think the biggest difference for me was the battery life and ease of carrying extras around if I know I am going to be away from an extnded period of time. I also like the ability to purchase a 8$ battery and have VV/VW control. Also the APV devices in experience seem to be more durable than the ego's, ego twists that I used.

I have a friend who just bought a vari tube mod and he is in awe at much more reliable and longer lasting the vape quality is than his standard low mHa ego batteries. A true convert from analogs.

For those most part, a variable voltage Twist will give the same vape as any other variable voltage device.
The only real downside is that you are limited to 4.8 volts, and using a proprietary battery.

And of course, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles.
:)

While essentially true, the twist can't run a consistent voltage (in regards to taking a draw or as the battery dies).

I'll see if I can find the video showing the monitored output voltage jumping wildly.

Don't get me wrong though, there will always be a place for my eGos in my arsenal.

Was in the same boat. Went from a 510 bought at kiosk Mall...NOOB mistake, but it put down the pathway for the ultimate vape. Then went up to the TWIST and Wow I was hooked. Upgraded to Provari mini and just rebuilt my new ZAP with own mesh and coils....and WOW what a differnce. Plenty of Vape and the FLAVA is ridiculouse.

It all depends what your going to throw on top of that new toy that makes the biggest Difference!!!

Comparing the twist to a standard eGo does not make sense. Of course the twist has VV and the std eGo does not. But a Twist to an APV is a good comparison. I have several twists and several APV's. The APV is great in many environments but not practicle in others. I personally won't carry a Vamo, Provari, or box mod in my pocket so the twist is perfect. The vape on both is the same if you get the voltage set correctly the VV is just not a easy as the VW to get adjusted. Once you find that sweet spot it makes no difference. Battery life is shorter on the Twist. Having both give me the flexibility I want. So sure get an APV and keep a Twist handy.
