Help me decide on a vv! I'm totally overwhelmed.

[CrunchyGeek]

Here's my story: I've been vaping on a kgo vv for a few months ago. I got it because I loved my original kgos; they never had any issues whatsoever. My husband and I actually BOTH got kgo vvs. At first they were great - enough so that I don't use my original kgo anymore. It just doesn't satisfy. Then things started to go wrong...

First, the bottom plastic pieces popped off BOTH kgos. No biggie. It didn't affect the performance. Then yesterday I had my husband's kgo vv in my back pocket, when I felt a warmth. It had broken in about 8 different pieces. I had JUST filled it with my favorite, custom juice. Now my jeans smelled like snickerdoodle cookies, I had to scrub my rear to get the nicotine-laiden juices off, and I don't have a vv to vape on anymore. (My 2 year old decided to play "hide the pv" with my other kgo vv).

I'm currently using my old kgo original... and it's awful. I've been spoiled by my vv and its lovely vapor production.

What should I get? I have a budget of $129.04 (specific, I know... but it's what's on my "fun money" debit card). I have a few things I'm specifically looking for:

• must be compatible with my kanger t2/t3 and vivi nova
• must be vv
• must be sturdy. My vapes tend to either roll off the table or otherwise get banged around.
• cannot be the size of a small cannon. My husband has a vv that is obscenely large. It's big enough that my mom blushed when she saw it for the first time. (She's never admitted as to what she originally thought it was).
• no box mods. They're ugly as sin and I don't think I could be seen in public with them.

Thanks in advance!

(Edit for proper budget amount)

eGo Twist and or Vision Spinner are both great. For your budget you can get 3 900 mAh batts and be enough for all day vaping. One word of advice: Get a halyard. All batts and clearos are not back pocket friendly.....

I'm a huge fan of the notcigs Buzz Pro, been using it since first introduced in Summer 2011. Their "ECF Buzzkill" coupon code, used during checkout (step 4 I believe is where it's asked for), would get it down to $94, $100 with shipping, though adding two pairs of 16340 batteries and a charger (pick a battery/charger set in the options for the PV, then separately add one more pair of batteries) would likely bring you up to $130 shipped.

The Buzz Pro is very consistent (no voltage sags as the batteries deplete), easy to use, excellent durability, very good customer service. Mine has taken many hard falls onto concrete, others have had things up to running them over with a lawnmower (lost a tank, buzz pro still okay).

You can ask them if they could substitute the all-metal bottom cap for the delrin/metal one. You would lose the on/off functionality but no way that metal cap comes off when it gets dropped.

Ask your husband to kick in $21, early Valentine's Day present

There are other good PV, but the BP is really nice.

We own several eGo's and most of them are Twists. Many consider them to be beginner batteries, disposables and or "not cool enough". I could care less. If this were a Provari thread, I would tell you I love them also.
I have found with the Twist's we love to use them working around the house or on the go around town for short trips. They are easy to operate, dependable and durable. We have bought the last 3 from myfreedomsmokes as the price and CS is wonderful.
You can read yourself crazy about the VV's on the forum with issues and the favorites of members. These just happen to be our favorite in the size your looking for.

GL OP!

this is what i got for my first VV mod Wildfire VV -Variable Voltage Multi-size

now i'm sure its not the most accurate and i know it's not the best, but like u i didn't want a cannon, i was using a bolt and found it to be kind of too big....this is thinner but can be longer with the 18650 or same height with the 18350

it looks nice, the build quality isn't bullet proof but it doesn't feel extremely cheap either

The Vamo is also a good for the money. They have starter kits ranging from 80-90 $'s way worth it for the features you get in this thing. If you need help finding one from a good vendor let us know. I hope you find what your looking for

I'm thinking I might end up getting an evic or vamo... (can you tell I'm a bit indecisive?). Neither seems to be my "best" vape, though. I'm worried that the evic will be too delicate for my clumsy self - but I love the sleek look. The vamo seems pretty sturdy, but aesthetically it leaves something to be desired. Something about the buttons make me think of the Spongebob episode where Squidward gets covered in cement and ends up in the zoo.

Perhaps something like the L-rider robust? The L-Rider Robust Variable Voltage PV Not endorsing this vendor or product just the first one that came up with a search, and it seems to fit your desires.

Just FYI I have had an Evi for 6 days and like it, seems sturdy enough but not sure about dropping it, but it is pretty big.

Don't get the L-rider. Get the young june version of this device, it has way better reviews. Here is a link to one them now and probably the best one

L-rider= manufacturer

young june= manufacturer This version is much better IMO

I'm following this thread as I am in an almost identical stage of vaping. While i try to figure things out I just pick up an eGo-V Mega 1200 mAh yesterday from Vapor Alley. eGo-V Mega 1200 mAh
