What I find interesting about this thread is the lack of response from the SB / BB or Indulgence folks.

The ‘Chuck’ers have weighed in. How about the rest of you?

Really, the Indulgence for $60.00 with adapters for most any atty??? Just Chinese junk? I would really like to know why I would not be happy with it.



The BB or the SB for around $110.00? Again, why not?



The Chuck, is well, the Chuck. I get it. But graphics make no difference to me.



Just want something that I can get re-chargeable battery's for that delivers the vape and TH.


I think a lot of semi-new vapers would really like to know where to go after an eGo.

Most ecig mods are metal tubes that hold batteries. It's the looks, ease of use and the switch that make the difference with most of them. Most people DO care about the looks. The mods I've been making are covered with wooden veneers because I'm a woodworker and I like wood. The switches are 1,000,000,000 cycle C&K switches and I place them on the end cap, under the atty connecter "cause I like to push them with my thumb but the body itself is a basic 3/4" copper pipe from a home store.
The difference in performance comes from the batteries and attys. That's where you get your vape and throat hit not the piece of pipe.

I've been using an Indulgence I got from vaporjunction.com when they has a grand opening sale last week. I am impressed with the passthru option it has. I don't have the large battery cup so can't comment on that. I have the titanium which is a blackish, greyish metallic color.

Nice positive switch feel. Feels good in the hand. The surface isn't completely smooth and I like its feel over the DSE905 which I also own. Its about the same size as the DSE905 but uses a different sized battery. A 18350 vs the 14500 in the DSE905. Both rated at 900mah capacity.

Quick semi-correction also. It doesn't have adapters for the different attys but different thread bits. It has 2 end caps. One of them holds the battery or passthru and the other holds the atty thread connector. Comes with 4 of them: 510, 901/808D-1,m401 and 801 I believe. I know 3 of the 4 are 510, 901/808D-1 and m401 threading but am not sure of the 4th actually.

Sweet, I'm a woodworker too! Wonder if I could get a mini wood-Chuck.:2cool:
Already figured out the battery to TH ratio, my eGo hits pretty good with the LR Atty. But in less than a week it's already starting to have problems.(sticking switch's). I figure I may have 2 weeks till I'm back to my stock 510.

You ever steam bend? That's how I wrap the veneer around a Chuck. I steam it soft in a little steam chamber and shape it around a 1" dowel and leave it to dry overnight. Then it's close enough in shape to wrap around a 3/4" piece of pipe (that's what a Chuck is made from). I actually made a "woodchuck". It's a Chuck I ordered without any finish and laminated it with a marquetry tree in walnut on a curly maple background. It's puuuurdie!

To confuse you further, I have been a happy owner of the 510s and the eGo. Janty sells 5 pack of eGo batts for 88.00, BTW.
However: Today I fired up my ProVape for the first time, using 510 cartomizer and Halo TruePure 12mg. WOW! Awesome! And it does NOT use proprietary batts and it is smaller than the Chuck and has a smaller button, but has the heft and durability of the Chuck.

I am definitely in love! Excellently made unit and the vape is out of this world! Great TH, clouds of vapor and the flavor comes roaring through.

You can do a search on Thystean's Provape review, has pics and all.
Good luck and happy vaping!

Eh uhmmm, I don't recall getting to see a picture of that finished product!
