Finally jumping into VV!

[Mett]

I've been really happy with my EPOWER 14650, but I'm starting to crave more vapor!

After some research, I decided to start cheap and ordered a Smoktech Gripper VV. I'm really hoping this will quench my "want" of an analog completely. I've been smoking a few (2-3) cigs a week, mainly while drinking. The EPOWER just doesn't have enough .. "oomph" when I'm drinking.

I'm started using a Vivi mini two weeks ago, which has made my vaping experience much more satisfying, but the only heads I really like are the 1.8ohm. They hit much fuller and I don't have to drag as long to get a good hit. But I also find that they tend to over heat quicker, and start to burn the wick. I'm currently using the 2.4 ohm, as I really like to chain vape and the 2.4ohm seem to handle it better.

I'm hoping with these 10 - 2.4 ohm heads I ordered along with the Gripper that I'll be able to find a sweet spot now that I'll be able to play around with voltage levels.

Wish me luck! BTW - Was a Gripper a good place to start with VV? I got it on sale for 38$, plus used my rewards bringing it to 28$. It was less than 40$ for the Gripper and two IMR 2000mAh batteries.

Welcome. Scroll down the forum and you will find a couple of recent topics concerning ohms. I don't care for the form factor of The Gripper myself but others have been pleased with it.

I'm thinking of getting one of those but I'm a lil concerned about durability...where'd u get it from btw?

2.4 ohm sweet spot btw will be from 4.4 to 4.8 volts (up to 5.0 even if u want but i wouldn't go past that)

I'm not to worried about it. The 510 threading can be JB welded to the chassis, and the board inside can be as well .. and the battery door for that matter. I've heard after this is done the device is pretty solid. I got it at hoosierecig.
