Expanding my existing kit. Buy another kit? Just new batts? Or what?

If I'd gotten a regulated APV, that's what I would have gotten.

The Magneto and sigelei 8w (Caravela clone) are both excellent. I have the Sigelie as well. My Just GG, though, is through the roof. I prefer with the side button, like the sigelei 8, as my fingers are a bit arthritic and tire from bottom buttons too easily. Oh well, I'm happy now. Your choice of the V3 Sigelei says a lot. The quality is unsurpassed in any APV under $100, imho. Telescoping is the bomb, stainless is the way, OLED the only decent screen (though the one thing I like about the eVic is the screen), the flat top Sigelei is the only one I like, 510 and ego threading, great menu system, fantastic in the hand, awesome form factor in any size, but quality is like no other. Tube doesn't even rattle when the battery is not in there, meaning the machining is tight. Superb APV.

I've seen nothing but great reviews of the Sigelei Zmax V3, mentioning many of the same points you did. I especially like its screen and VW capability. I like the flat top, too. :)

Just going to jump in since others have already mentioned myvaporstore and you asked about them. Vapoor eyes was a God send to me when I first started out Vaping back in March...he's the one that recommended MVS and the Vision Spinner batts...sooo glad I listened to him! I now have 3 Vision Spinners..along with a couple Vamo's..anyhow..that one site you listed with a kit..the one that was NOT MVS...it was a small Battery that came with that kit. Meaning you won't get just a whole lot of run time before you're gonna have to charge it up. Me personally, the 1300 mAh that the Spinners have are great! Can go all day long without having to recharge. I didn't care that it was a bit bigger..if it meant longer time in between chargers, better for me.

Like you, I like having quite a few tanks going with different flavors...and hated having to switch out tanks on batteries. Since you are the same way, then yea, I'd go with 2 more VV. Like I said, I have 3 of the 1300 Spinners..been using them since March and have NEVER had a problem with them.

I have order quite a few times from MVS..and almost every time, my order shipped within 24 hours. They have a 5 or 10 % coupon code around here some where. You'll really like a VV battery though. Like others have said...some juices taste better at a higher Voltage...but then others taste better at a lower one. I bet if you get the VV battery, you'll rarely ever use just a regular battery again..unless its just because your others are dead.

Just wanted to throw out the whole mAh on the batteries though...if you are wanting to go longer in between charges, then don't get a smaller battery...because that one kit you listed, was for a 650 mAh, I believe it was...that's only going to give you roughly 6 hour Vape time...depending on how hard you hitting and what not..a 1300 mAh Spinner while give you close to 13 hour vape time. You probably already knew this..but just wanted to throw it out there in case.

Good luck!

Wow! Thank's for all the good suggestions! Bill's Magic Vapor- that's a damn good value for :2c: ! A lot of good info from a lot of nice folk's! Yeah, there's a lot of food for thought. I might have to wait until Nov 1st - Nov 5, when enough of my moola finds it's way here, almost broke for the month...at least I'll have some time to make a final decision.

The Kanger kit seemed like it might be good to last me for a while, as I'll have 4 batts in rotation, and I'm still in a moderate (yet increasing) vapor consumption phase- and I'd at least have the 2 MiniPT 2's after the batts fade. But, yeah...it'd probably make sense to go another route, mostly I'm looking at 900-1300 mah units. It would've been a nice 1st kit though....

The kit that is from MVS seems nice if I'd get 2 1300mah Vision Spinners and 2 (any combo of) PT2/PT2Mini's in it. Configured the way I would do it, it would run $92.85, $97.25, or $101.65....is there a current, discount code that'll work? I'll have to look at the previous page here to see...

I do like my PT2, quite a bit. Coincidentally I've got purple glass in mine too. I want to try the PT2 Mini as well, at least eventually. Also (and yes, this is coming from a newb) I'm digging these Smoktech ARO's, I've got 2, and they cost what, between $6.95-$8.95...I've heard mixed reviews about the full size Davide tank, and very little about the Davide Mini. Also now there's a new dual-coil Davide, some sort of glass??? I only saw it at one place, I forget where, for, I think $21.95....I'm liking glass, for sure...

It'd be nice to find a couple of VV 900mah - 1300mah Spinner type batts that are more short and stocky- not longer and skinnier. Maybe as long as my EVOD batts, or no more than an inch longer. I saw something like that, don't remember where, but all colors were sold out...

OK, now I'd like find a good place to pick up 2 Itaste 3.0's and a MVP or Segelei V3... I mean, I'd rather get all the hardware in one shipment if possible...or maybe do the devices in 1 order, and batts and charger in a 2nd order...it's a matter of both money and practicality for me ATM...

much research to do still...

Anyways, thank's everybody, have a good one!

Thank's! Found a 5% off one that might work.

Thank's for trying Vapoor eyes er!

So I checked on the Spinner kit on Sweetvapes. If I get the kit -the way I would- with a PT2 Mini and add a PT2, it costs $98.49. If I get the kit including a PT2 and add a PT2 Mini it costs $96.90... interesting...

Thanks for all the good advice in this thread. I just expanded my kit!

I currently have 2 plain-jane eGo batteries + 5 Kanger TS3 clearomizers. I have found that I like the cooler bottom coil vape a lot more than the top coil CE4(?) that my first kit came with.

Ordered two Vision Spinner batteries + 2 more TS3s + 4 replacement heads. So far so good!

Yep, the folks here are very helpful! Just watched the "taking the next step 2" video, good info there.
I definitely recommend watching some of the many videos by GrimmGreen & PBusardo. Even when my personal preferences are different from theirs or I don't particularly want whatever they're reviewing, I still learn a lot just from watching. I've also enjoyed some RiP Trippers videos.

I've also enjoyed all the input and found this thread quite interesting. Watching it evolve from Page 1 was neat :thumbs: Before I bought my first PV I watched reviews by PBusardo ( cuz he measures the voltage, etc of all these devices) and IGotch69 on YouTube.

Yeah, maybe it'd be good to get something more folks can vouch for. I've got a window for that staying open, maybe I'd even buy 2! There's a question if I'll get my money before they run out of stock, though, about 1 to 10 days from now. Must cross my fingers.
Also, has anyone checked out this stainless tank? http://c2cvaping.3dcartstores.com/B...odularity-with-stainless-steel-tank_p_214.htm
Think if I get the MVP2 here, I'll tack one onto my order- perfect for when and where you don't want a fragile glass tank, I'd think so anyways.

What about this??? http://www.vaporbeast.com/Sigelei-T-Rex-p/36-0210-000.htm Not sure about the batts or charger, but the sale price seems good. For most anything else I'd go elsewhere, just judging by prices...

Good catch. Yes the charger is at the very lowest end of quality. Sigelei battery can't find any info on them.
Here's a similar charger that failed:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...arger-batteries-come-vamo-18350-kit-pics.html
So if you do buy this kit you could count on spending an extra $15- $20 for a charger.
The only complaint I've read about the Sigelei Box Mods is they're extremely heavy (.575 pounds) but there's very little info on the T-Rex as they don't seem to be too popular.
