Help me find my first APV

[MattBott]

A few week into vaping, I have the bug for an APV.

What I'm looking for:

• Under $100 (doesn't have to include batteries)
• Removable Battery(ies), at least 600mah
• Tube style
• Not HUGE
• If not VV, able to kick later

Not necessary, but awesome if it is:

• Variable Voltage
• Can read the Ohms of a carto / rebuildable (HUGE plus)
• Smooth transition with a standard or mini tank / Vivi Nova / RAT
• Batteries / charger included

So far, I'm looking at the "Mini Vector Variable Volt," aka Young June Mini Lavatube. Anyone else have any suggestions?​

A mini lavatube like the one you linked is your best bet for those specifications.

Other than that, a silver bullet is a good choice being kicked. But it's around the size of a Provari with extension cap.

Okay I'm not going to be much help here. I can tell you that Mini Vector Variable volt is as large as the Provari. If your looking for a smaller mod your looking for the battery size to be 14500. I've looked around cause I'm addicted to VV but have yet to find a decent VV 14500 Mod. Ego just came out with one but is getting poor reviews.

...., then how big is the full size? Maybe the provari is just huge in my head and is a bad example ... I've never held one.

 

[MattBott]

And I just noticed that this board censors swear words ... my apologies.

After digging around, the lavatube mini is about 15/16" diameter and 3 3/4" long, that seems to be about perfect for me. Is the provari really that size?

 

[Closetpan]

I just stated the Provari cause you mentioned it being huge, I do not want to confuse you into thinking I'm recommending it to a person that just started vaping. Yes the Provari is 4.1" L and about the same dimensions.

 

[Closetpan]

Then there's the Mini and then there's the extension caps so the size changes all over the place.

A good starter is the Lavatube or the Lavatube mini if size is an issue. I have a Lavatube and it has done it's job well. Volcano is suppose to have the new version sometime soon. If you want something that is the same size and the Lavatube but with alitle more to it then the new Zmax is great. I love mine and now use my LT as a backup. Now the Zmax is gonna run about $120 but is well worth the price imo. Madvapes now has the SS version along with the chrome and they look great. Just my 2 cents for ya.

i have a Legacy from puresmoker....it is entirely mechanical and I believe you can get the kit for about $88 bucks, includes charger, two batts at 2200 mah, a box of low resistance cartos, and 6ml juice sample....the Legacy was crafted with the kick in mind....its made mainly
of stainless steel, looks awesome and very very durable...you could run a dump truck over it and not harm it

he also sells a mini version if you want it smaller and the battery on those i think is 700 mah....check out puresmoker...very well crafted durable devices

i've also heard great things about the silver bullet and baby bullet but i dont own either...those are available from alt smoke i think
