Most of you are just starting so you may not be at this stage in vaping yet, but don't count yourself out because you may get the bug as it may turn into an avid hobby. I myself started with a 510 kit for $36 about a year ago and a 5v 510 passthough as backup which later on became a must have when starting out. When it came down to performance and battery life you soon don't care if it looks like an analog cig. Then I got a Riva Ego which was better and the battery lasted longer but of course wanted more. From there I tried the Hello 016 batteries and that was even better. At this point I had been using 510 LR atties with carts but started to try Boge cartos.
Now since all of those batteries are dead, I've been using a maxi Roughstack 2 from Madvapes stacking 2 protected 16340 batts. It hits great with the LR atties but I pulse fire the button otherwise you pop them. I thought I could've just started with the Roughstack but with having to invest in extra batteries, chargers, atties, cartomizers, etc is a larger starting investment.
It does a great job but still wanted more so I just ordered the Eclipse EQ because now I want VV, and an auto feed system, programmable juice feed sequence, usb pass though charging capability, capacitive touch. I don't mind dripping but it's not the most convenient or safe way to vape while driving.Might seem crazy to go from $36 to $300+ pv but with the feature set the Eclipse offers and after watching some of the videos on VapeTV, the Eclipse gives me everything I want in a PV.
