GLV 2 vs Saber Touch 5v

[jjrose]

Can anyone who has used both tell me the pros and cons on both models?

I have my next purchase down to these two, and can't figure out which one to buy.

Hey While both great devices I have used both quite a bit and without a doubt the GLV2 is a superior device

Saber touch is a great device.....But for portability it is bulky

it fires great and is comfortable but sometimes i feel like it hits less hard then it should for 5v

GLV-2 is lightweight Much smaller and compact COMFORTABLE like crazy
feels sturdier hits like a truck fires soooo nice and the click of the button is second to none


I would go with the GLV2 it has a better design and better looks and is more portable

Not to knock the saber to much as it is a solid pv and also a great choice

but like i said the glv2 is more defined and much lighter

Smaller and lighter is good, being as I have little hands.

Thank you, for the information.
Anyone else want to chime in?

I dont have both. I just my GLV-2 5v. First 5v so cant compare to anything. But I will say the GLV-2 kicks ..... Smaller than I thought. The button is awesome! Like Amajn said it fires like a truck! Light wieght. fits good in the hands. I did a a lot of research before I finally made my purchase. glad I chose the GLV. Its amazing!!!!!! I dont think you would be disappointed with either. But man...I am loving the GLV!!!!!!

Thanks! Now I have to decide between 3.7v or 5v.
I have never tried a 5v at all.

Glv..... .....

GLV and hands down 5V
The only down (for me at least) is that GLV does not have an AF. Being 5V, you need a lot of juice; so I use mine with mega carts/attys.

i love my GLV2... it is super comfortable and perfect for me... i prefer the top button ove the side or bottom buttons... i havent tried the saber... but i dont see anyone being disappointed with a GLV unless you just dont like top buttons...

 

[jjrose]

Thanks guys, and girls!
Now the waiting begins. Car repairs just ate my next pay check!

I think GLV has $100 kits still going...no batts or charger, but still...it's not bad.

It's not exactly the same, but I LOVE my GLV-1. For my money, the Saber Touch looks to much like a garden hose.

GLV would have to be the winner hands down! As mentioned in this thread already....The switch/button is a masterpiece. If you want dependability the GLV is the most logical choice!

glv-2 5v hands down
or a mini 3.7 with LR atty

 

[muttSRT]

jj, GLV2 like everyone else said. But I would go with the 3.7/6v option. You can use it at 3.7, LR attys and 3.7v gives ya close to 5v experience, and then of course 6v. 3 options, 1 PV...5v you will be stuck at 5v.

 

[jjrose]

This is true Mutt. Is it the same size as the 5 v?

While I will NOT admit to having small hands...

I persoanlly have not used a Saber... but I for one cannot imagine using another 5v device, unless Jaybird comes out with a Variable Voltage GLV...


SURVEY SAYS!: GLV for the WIN...

 

[muttSRT]

This is true Mutt. Is it the same size as the 5 v?

exactly the same...only difference is a resistor piece in the head unit.

I dont have the saber anymore to do a side by side pic, but the GLV2 is so much smaller and compact and uses the same batteries. The first thing I thought when I received the GLV2 is that I accidently got the mini instead of the full size. The pics on the website are kind of misleading as I had pictured it as being way bigger. Here is the full size unit next to a regular can of soda:

 

[keyzygirl]

I have got to get a GLV2.They are so nice.

Mutt is that the 5v?

 

[jjrose]

This is so mine...........soon, very soon.

 

[muttSRT]

I have got to get a GLV2.They are so nice.

Mutt is that the 5v?

no ma'am...i got the 3.7/6v

 

[keyzygirl]

So is it bigger than the 5v or same size?Sorry I just cant tell to much from the website and I dont want to call Jay till Im ready to order one.
