So I have pretty much narrowed my choices down to three PV's but cant make up my mind on which one I want. Anyone have some input to help me make a choice?
I have a eGo now but am looking to upgrade to an HV device for around the house. I plan on continuing to use the eGo at work and when I am out on the town.

So I have narrowed it down to:

GLV2
Prodigy V3:vapor:
Omega

Help me make up my mind!

    I don't know anything about the Omega yet but all three suppliers of the ones you listed are good suppliers. The prodigy V3 looks like a great 6v unit and I have been thinking about buying one myself. I know someone that has the GLV2 and loves it. It is a 5v device. Maybe think about if you want a 5 or 6v pv.

    The 5 or 6 volt thing has really been one of the deciding factors for me, I have read A LOT on this forum and others and most people agree that around 5 volts is where the sweet spot is. The problem is the GLV2 is out of stock and they are only taking pre-orders ATM so I am stuck either waiting or with one of the others. Chief

    I personally own a prodigy v3 and I love the device, extremely small and easy to carry but it packs a hell of a punch. Not to mention that the locking mechanism is my favorite by far, preferred over an on and off switch actually. The omega looks interesting, but IMO its not as good as the silver bullet, it has too many nooks and crannies for dirt to get in thus making maintenance more frequent. Finally the GLV2, for as long as I've known about the GLV in general, its been out of stock, was actually looking at purchasing one when I first started looking at HV devices but it never came "in stock" whenever I checked. Honestly any device that can do 3.7v and 6v can also do 5v with the use of a low resistance atomizer, using a 3.7v battery you get the experience of 5v without the use of stacking batteries and thus you typically get a LONG battery life. My advice, the prodigy or an SB (or if you like the omega then get it), they are both well priced and have great customer service and will be in your hands within the week. Also if you go 6v then grab yourself some mega (3.0-3.4ohm) cartomizers, changed my life!

    The V3 has a good solid switch that I haven't seen misfire, mine hasn't in a month. Everything I have seen about the Silver Bullet is that it's bullet proof, (pun intended) but I have never owned one. Nor have I had a GLV so I can't say anything about either the SB or the GLV. You might want to take another look at the Super T line up, I have a S6 and haven't had any problem with it at all.

    the only problem with the super six is that it utilizes cr2 batteries. I'm not a cr2 hater though, i have a copper and a bb that both use cr2s but aside from the risk of exploding, they don't last that long between charges, 4-5 hours used to be amazing to me, but when I got my prodigy it simply just didn't compare. I average around 10 hours with my prodigy with pretty heavy usage and I couldn't see myself carrying around a bunch of cr2s anymore. And with the 200mah rating on the protected cr2s, well thats just laughable. rcr123a's kinda set the bar for 6v vaping and with small devices like the v3 now, theres no point in taking a step back. The only things that beat out the 123's at 6v are proprietary batteries that are usually huge like the tekkeon etc.
