First upgrade from starter kit?

[Brett K]

I have been using a VapeUSA 1100mah twist, 3.2-4.8. I am not so sure I like it. I broke it after a few days bending over while in my pocket. I am looking to upgrade to something better. Simple to use, good battery life, and durable. I do like the pen style, but I'm open to other styles as long as they aten't big and clumsy.

I would also like to try something nicer and longer lasting than the Kangertech EVOD that won't break the bank because i like having several different ejuices ready to go with different flavors. So, a 3-5 pack is desirable. Any recommendations?

I'm still pretty new to the vaping world and def new to these forums but from what I've seen and read I think going to the innokin I taste vv v3.0 would be a good switch from a starter kit...you get ur first mod with enough power and settings for a beginner to get comfortable with.

i.m.o. if you are not impressed with a "Twist" eGo battery then bypass the Innokin iTasteVV v.3

Believe it or not, the iTaste VV doesn't play well with many of the latest dual coil clearomisers, leading to weak vapour.

For a single coil up to 10w - fine. For dual coils.... nope, the chip will limit the power, and it shows.

I am swapping out both of my iTaste VVs as I am moving to dual coils only in factory heads.

I-Taste MVP always gets good reviews and you don't need to buy separate batteries. Anything that uses 18350 or 18650 batteries requires a larger initial investment.

The first mod I bought was an Innokin VV V3 and the screen had issues, the Ebay vendor replaced it with another V3 its been used very little use but usually doesnt work and will simply show 888 on the screen. Both of them checked out as authentic on Innokins website so for me that is the first and last Innokin product I will ever buy, YMMV!

The Innokin MVP 2 is a great little battery, it's 2600 mah and will last for over 2 days. It's a box mod so you'll either love it or hate it but I have found them very reliable and come with a tank and you don't need to buy any extra batteries 'cos it is the battery. It also comes in handy if your phone runs out of power when you're out and about 'cos you can power it up from the MVP. This was my first upgrade from a starter kit and I now have 3 of them.

What's your budget?

What are you looking for as an "upgrade" to what you have? Only something with more durability than you had?

USB charged mods:

• itaste VV3 (Innokin)- pen-style, 8-10 hour battery; pass-through function; voltage meter and ohm meter
  
• itaste MVP2 (Innokin) - box-style, 2 day battery; pass-through; voltage & ohm meter

Replaceable rechargeable battery mods; will require purchasing batteries and a Li-ion charger in addition to the mod.

• ZMax (Segelei & Smoktech)
• SVD (Innokin)
• SID (Smoktech)
• Vamo

Just broke a Spinner 2 doing that today. In the back pocket, got in the car. DUMBASS


I would get an SVD or a Vamo. I recently did the upgrade and looked at both. I liked some others ( I like and want them all) but the single button control is not for me.

I bought the Vamo V5 and I love it. I do not suggest buying a "kit" buy the batteries,the charger and the Vamo separately. You will save money and get better stuff. I chose to buy an authentic KSD really wasn't much more. Nitecore I4 charger, Efest 18650 and 18350 batts.
Running the 18350 battery with the tube off and a AeroTank Mega it is in fact shorter than my Vision Spinner 2 and an AeroTank. Yes, the one I sat on today......

I can send you links to all off group.

Unless of course money is a big factor, then I would get an MVP 2.
