First VV/VW mod advice.

[VaporClouds]

Hello all,
I currently own a Halo triton ego style battery and a Smoktech Magneto.
I have a couple of Protanks that i use on the triton (It looks awful with the adapter and everything) And i have a dripping atty with the Smoktech magneto.

I have come to the conclusion that i do not like dripping. Sorry if anyone takes offense to that but it is just a hassle to have to rebuild coils and not only that but i personally get really ....ing annoyed with dripping. .... always spits everywhere, i am messy when i do it and i always get juice in my damn mouth. Maybe i am just a dripping noob but i just want to stick with tanks now because i can enjoy vaping more with them.

Anyways, what would you recommend for a good first VV/VW mod? Ive been looking at the Itaste VTR, Itaste MVP V2, Itaste SVD, and even the Itaste 134. Also i have been looking at the Tesla.

Part of me wants the Itaste 134 but than i think well what if none of the preset wattage settings are my preference, than i will have wasted my money. Than i think well maybe ill get the MVP V2 because it looks very affordable and has alot of features, but i really like the look of the Itaste SVD. .... i would just get them all if i could afford it but with christmas coming up and a ton of bills, i have to make sure i get what i want because i cant just keep getting mods.

These are the main mods i have been looking at, so if you know of any others that you think i may be interested in than please let me know. Also sorry for the long post. Thanks.

P.S. btw, i know i can just use the Protanks on the magneto, but im looking for VV or VW so i can adjust the voltage or wattage.

I have a Vamo 3. Nice features and has VV and VW. The down side is that it a heavy mod compared to those with AL. bodies. I am putting a Provari on the Christmas list just so I can be one of them. . The Vamo will be the daily carry at work unit. I plan to vape forward my really generic lavatube/l-rider/ something clone to someone at work struggling with vaping and stinkies.

As a VV noob, I can only speak on my experience with the SVD. Solidly constructed, easy to adjust, and looks great. The SVD has more functionality then the 134. Adjustable wattage or voltage, can check the resistance of your device, as well as a current voltage availability from your battery. I believe it also capable of more battery configurations.

Not to mention that it's cheaper.

I currently own 8 mods, 5 of which are VV and/or VW. I love my 134 and use it daily. The drawback to the 134 is that it doesn't allow for fine tuning and doesn't allow you to read resistance.

The eVic is a great mod and well worth taking a look. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the feedback, i completely forgot about the vamo, looks like a good device. I think it is going to come down to MVP V2 or SVD or VAMO V3. So far i think it may end up being the SVD simply because i like how it looks the most. Im watching the Indoor Smokers eVic video right now.

Wow thank you GPSTrucker, the eVic actually looks like the mod for me. Great recommendation. Cool features and it can even become a passthru.

I just went right for the Provari because I figured over time it would save me money and frustration (no need to replace a broken mod down the line). Yes it costs more, but it's a solid, long lasting mod and the company will stand behind it should anything ever go wrong. It also looks pretty decent with a Protank if that's your tank of choice.

After a couple months, I liked it so well I bought another (a mini).

Note - I do still use eGo Twists when on the go.

Well I will say for your moneys worth you are down to 3 of the four your first listed. Don't get me wrong, the 134 is a nice mod, but for that price, I'd go the VTR first, though it to has its drawbacks, from what I have seen it is still a nice mod. I own an SVD and 2 MVP's, a V1 and V2. The major difference between the SVD and MVP V2 are 1) Output range, the SVD is 6Volts and 15Watts over the MVP V2 5Volts and 11Watts, and 2) the SVD is a modular telescoping tube mod needing investment of a charger and sepperate batteries over the MVP is a built in battery pack box mod, depending on the batteries bought the SVD mah rating is that of the battery, I use 2600mah 18650 Samsungs in mine, the MVP comes with its built in 2600mah battery already. I actually love all the 3 of the mods I own, and seen that you have a Magneto, so you already have the batteries and chareger, not a bad investment if you get the express kit on the SVD, my MVP V1 and V2 is easier to fit in my pocket while at work and is a bit cheaper than the SVD, so balance your decision out from there I would advise.

I say spend your money once and spend it wisely. Unless you just like wasting money (and hey, some people just love to shop and collect and if that's your thing...more power to you!) then I would suggest doing your research, saving your money and buying the VV you want to end up with. In my opinion, looking for a "starter" VV/VW is basically saying "I am willing to experiment and I fully accept that I may be disappointed with my vaping experience"

Take my experience as what NOT to do. I started with cig-a-likes and tried a bunch. I even worked for one of the cig-a-like companies for a while. I switched to what became the eGo battery (I had several at $20-30 each). Then eGo C with a higher V mode, bought 3 of those at ~$25 each. Then spinners (my first VV devices)...had 3 of those ($25-30) each. Before I left eGos entirely, I had spent $250-$300 on just egos. Lets not even calculate the endless clearos and then BCC tanks, attys, etc...

Then I got my first ZMAX. I think I paid 80 bucks for it. Of course I had to get extra batteries and a better charger for them. Lets say all in was $150. It was ok. Bulky and built poorly. Decent output on a fresh battery, but the voltage drop was noticeable about 1/2 way through the charge. It was a decent mod, not great...and I found I couldn't get a great vape off anything above 4,4V. It also only had 510 threads and at the time I was really liking evod tanks that only fit on eGo threads.

Within 3 months, I was looking for another. I thought I wanted a VV with 510/EGO threads as a choice, but I also wanted a telescope so I could use the smaller 350 batteries and make it a little more pocket friendly. I was torn between a SVD and a ZMAX V3 telescope from Seigeli. Both had nice OLED screens, VV and VW modes, both had dual 510/EGO threads. Both were shiny and high-tech...but the telescope won out and I left with a good price on a ZMAX 3 ($90 out the door with a cheapo battery and charger that I gave away). AWESOME...until I got home. I got a good vape out of it to start, but again voltage drops. The 2nd half of the battery seemed to lose some punch. Then I had other issues, electronics issues. Like Atty output being mis-read, or voltage output different than where I set it, or the OLED reading one thing when it was set to output another. I took it back to the B&M and got a replacement, but they told me then that there was no warranty on them so if I had more issues I was on my own. Of course I dropped the 2nd one a month later. Ever since it gives weird error messages randomly and the upper head is deformed a bit. Basically it's junk now. Another $100 down the drain.

If you are playing along at home, we're at $550+ now and still not really vaping with satisfaction. Sad really, because $550 down the toilet is a lot of money for most people.

Even more sad when I ignored review after review of the provari because I just couldn't justify spending $200 on a battery. "How much better could it be?" A lot better actually, and I was an idiot for not buying one first. I would have saved $350 off the bat, and I would have enjoyed VV vaping much sooner. I wouldn't feel like a fool for wasting so much money and I wouldn't have a box full of hardware that I can't even sell to someone. I've dropped it...no problem. I've slammed it into things accidentally, no problem. Voltage drops...seem to be totally gone. Simply the smoothest most consistent amazing hit each and every time.

So that was the right one for me. Also for about 3x more people than any other single APV. Look at the APV specific sub-forums here...the Provari group is the largest by a mile and way more active. It might NOT be the right one for you, but if you are not a dripper, then it's definitely the mod you should spend the most time researching before you buy.

Built-in battery lasts 2 - 3 days on a charge. (No extra batteries or charger to buy). Can be used as a pass through. Can be used to charge your cell phone or iPod. Equally effective for home or away from home (pocket-friendly). $50.

If you plan to go further into mods id get something that takes your standard battery sizes so you can save that expense upgrading. I used the vamo as my first mod, and i used it for a while and loved it. Ended up on an evic and now mechs with/without kick depending. All of my mods put together probably cost under 120 bucks put together(excluding the evic which was 50 on classies) and i have 5 and they all still work. Finally feeling kind of content...kind of

 

[VaporClouds]

Nice, thanks all. And badexec you really got me thinking, your totally right. The cost could get ridiculous quick so i need to make sure its a good durable mod. Upon further research, the provari seems to be a winner too. And it is very expensive but one thing i noticed from alot of reviews is that the hit is more consistent than other mods(well thats what i keep hearing). I cant actually afford it for about two more weeks so i have someresearch and thinking to do.

I just got the MVP a couple days ago, it's amazing!!!!

The 3 most highly touted devices seem to be Provari, MVP, and Reo. With any of the DNA20 mods showing a strong 4th.

Form factor is important in your choice.
The MVPs and Reos are Box Mods, square in shape. I find that not to my personal liking, but they are, by all accounts, great devices. Only 1 or 2 models of those have Regulated Variable Output.

The Provaris all have Regulated Variable Output, and by most accounts, the most precise output. Each vape is exactly the same for the life of the battery.

The DNA20 chipset can be found in several different Mods. It also claims to be very precise, but I have not seen a side by side testing/comparison of the Provari and DNA20s. The DNA20 Mods can range in price from just a little less than the Provari to $100 more for the new Futura NexGen Vapor | Specs which looks very nice.

Agreed.... You just can't go wrong with the MVP 2. Cost... battery life... vv/vw... and a great performer!!

 

[suspectK]

MVP 2.0.. itaste 3.0 if you want something small. You can't go wrong.
