after reading through a couple threads about the provari, those people remind me of the worst kinds of apple users, which has kind of turned me off on the product; it seems a lot like quite a price to make people feel better about the big bucks; I could be wrong, for sure! But it really doesn't seem to have much on cheaper options besides "build quality."
So, at first I was dead set on this kit:

(please tell me if those batteries will explode my face)
It's complete, it looks nice, and I really like the whole, built in multimeter thing.
Buuut....

This also looks really nice. I'll have to get batteries separate, and a charger, and so on, but it's also slick and appears to have roughly the same features.
But there are a LOT of mods floating around, and I'm having trouble differentiating what's going to be my best bet.
So, any suggestions/reasoning for such suggestions?
Besides wanting to know my resistance without having to whip out the multimeter, I also really like the rubberized grip, and I really like the cylindrical shape.... those huge box-batteries are kinda horrible, and I already have a 5000mah charger in my little kit I use for my phone and tools and such.
My dream APV would still support changable batteries, but would also have it's own built in charge controller to accept a usb charger ala ego style batteries. I have two ego twists I can readily charge with my charger, but I'd really like something big, with huge capacity, I can also readily trickle full with my pack if I'm traveling and such. Or even, if it had a pass-through function in addition to using changeable cells.
