That smoketek's a good value and I agree with you on the meter for voltage. I think numbers for that are foolish but, ohms and battery life are useful if you're into RBAs.

I kind of need a screen, myself (It's an OCD thing). I do have one very small, $15 device , that I use (I call it "L'il Gripper") - but only for the "stealthiest" of occasions. That being said, I don't think the Beast is a bad investment at all. Whatever gets you through the day... (to paraphrase Mr. Lennon).
Here's the two enclosures that I'm looking to transplant into...
Aluminum Box Enclosure Case -3.93"*2.08"*0.98"(L*W*H) freeshipping | eBay
or
NEW DIY Aluminum Project Enclosure Box Electronic case 27x62x110mm | eBay
I might just buy both to hold in my hand to decide which one I like best and use the other for something else.

For those that don't want to DIY on the transplant, I think Shan B could make a cool mod for ya with the guts of the gripper.
Custom graphics would give it a personal touch also as she has some really killer skillz

I really wanted a vv box mod with an ohms reader for rba's. I emailed her to see if she could make one. no response yet though. didn't think to ask about transplanting gripper guts, though. that's a good idea. her stuff is gorgeous.
I've been thinking about doing a DIY mod, and this would probably be a great way to start one, with something already assembled and just transplanting. I'd put a sealed 510 or maybe an ego connector on it, and definitely a better switch.
And therein, as they say, lies The Rub.
And if they (ProVape) did, I'm pretty confident that it wouldn't cost fifty-bucks.
Got my Gripper today, been using it for only 6h, I really like it up to now ! Quite lightweight, nice size, I so like the finish painting on it, rubber-like. Like someone said, a 3 finger grooves will be better than the 4 it has. My Panasonic GCR batteries flat-top fits perfectly well, however my AW 3100 mAh does not, too long but just barely. I also have an IMR 18650 1500 mAh which is too small.
I can confirm that the overall unit is made of cheap plastic, a drop of only 1 meter will break this thing, but aside from this, it's pretty good and at a great price!

Here are some other possibilities. You might have a tough time getting things where they need to go in the boxes you posted.
They'd screw it up with that one button menu system. That's the reason I don't own and am not interested in a Provari.
don't let the cheep plastic fool you the gripper has a bad ... PCB...I had a vmax made of ss and that didn't do it anygood...I quickly learned that a PV is like a car, its what's under the Hood that matters...lol
Now the gripper took every Atty I put on it, as long as the omhs were 1.3 and above that lily box rocks and its still rocking a did set @ 1.3 omhs.. I love it!

The vulnerability of the plastic case (especially the battery door) hasn't kept me from buying one, but the overall design has. I like VV box mods, and that size is great for me, but I'm left-handed (the Gripper VV is technically designed as a right-handed mod), the button placement on top isn't to my liking, and the four finger grooves (rather than three or none) are clearly wrong for American-size male hands. None of those are deal-breakers, but together they've kept me from adding a Gripper to my VV arsenal. I might still pull the trigger at some point---especially if the price keeps coming down---but so far, no.
I don't get it, I use the Gripper with both hands (just one at a time) and there's no problem with either. When using it with my left hand, of course the screen in the palm of my hand when I vape, but I don't consider this an issue.
Same with me Zurd it is very comfortable with either hand. By far the most comfortable mod I have.
Hi - just got my 1st gripper. Overall, I'm happy with it. It does have a very wobbly 510 connection. I've seen others say the same about theirs. For those that have a wobbly one
1. Did you try to return it for one w/o the problem
2. Did you come up with any kind of 'fix'
3. Did you just accept it as is.
Mine is loose enough you can actually 'hear' it rattle when giving it a light shake. Seems it's liable to rattle something loose later on with use.
Thanks for your feedback.
