Help!! Tube mod??

[DaBears]

So I went to my local vape shop and looked at the new innokin itaste 134, the thing looks amazing the price tag however does not... After doing some research on it I find the features to be a bit limited although I have no idea about variable wattage. Looking at this mod started me thinking that I might be interested in buying a mod right now I use a smok winder vv. my question is this what were the motivating factors that push the users here to go from the ego style to a mod?

I would say the ability to use larger, interchangeable batteries so you don't have to plug your mod in to charge it, and variable wattage are the two big reasons.

There are also mechanical mods but they are intended for advanced users.

In lay mans terms( if its possible) whats the advantage of variable wattage over variable voltage ?

it's easier to understand and requires less math. 9 watts is 9 watts, no matter what topper you're using, but 9 watts is around 5 volts on a 2.8 ohm coil, or around 3.7 volts on a 1.5 ohm coil. either way, it's usually not really a big deal, most people who use vv/vw devices will typically just throw a topper on and adjust until they're happy.

I'm not an engineer and I don't know all the technical terms, but wattage trumps voltage by all means. My boyfriend and I are both proud owners of the vamo and wouldn't go to a different battery for a very long time. We were eyeing the provari because the "high end" stuff, but this one is all we could ever want with all the technology of the provari. (I'm sure an engineer will be explaining the differences so I'm not even going to touch it because I don't know all the proper ways of power lol) Vamo's are great because you can buy backup batteries to charge while you are on the go and then when it dies, no waiting to charge, swap the battery and run with it. Flavor is amazing, vape is so much better, it's a happy vape life here.

I see this stated all the time and it makes no sense to me at all. When mechanical mods first came out which was well before VV mods they were not intended for advanced users at all. This new sub-ohm stuff isn't necessary to enjoy using a mechanical mod and there is nothing unsafe as long as you use good batteries like Sanyo's or Panisonic protected batteries. Stacking batteries in a VV mod is ten times more dangerous and using trustfire/ulrafire batteries is the worst yes even in a provari or anything else it's worse to have a cheap battery than a good battery in a mechanical mod.

So don't rule out a mechanical mod based on this "advanced" user stuff. But if you do go for a Mechanical mod buy good protected batteries and stick don't go the rebuildable route unless you really feel comfortable with it. But it's not necessary at all.

I'm not really worried about battery life as if I did get a mod it would likely stay at home while my winder would be mobile. On the go getting my nic fix is my main concern but at home I would like to have the most satisfying vaping experience possible, while talking to people here its been brought to my attention that dripping is about the best way to go, so is their a preferred mod for dripping and should I choose not to drip are said mods capable of using a carto tank or clearo ?

Bye thank you for taking the time to answer a newbies questions, I really do appreciate your help its saving me tons of money. If anyone has any fishing questions I can try to help you haha it's about the only thing I know about

I purchased my Vamo after about 3 months of using the ego twist (which I still like), for me I decided to get a vamo mostly out of curiosity. I usually don't use the watts setting but I do really like being able to check the ohms on my clearos, I find there is some variation in the ohms on all of them (even identical ones). What I normally do is check the ohms and if the resistance is for example 2.4 then I add two and start at 4.4 volts and adjust from there, depending on the juice etc. I can say I really like my Vamo and my twists. Vamo for home and twists for out and about.

I started with ego's, then went to ego twist VV, then went to eVic's and now I'm using a mech..... the mech works the best for me. The eVic's are nice and it's fun to play around with the different settings and try to find the best watts for the topper/juice combo being used but I got tired of replacing the eVic heads (wife broke 3, I broke 1) so I wanted something pretty bullet proof and the mech I have is. I put a battery in it, top it with an AGI or AGA T2 or RSST and vape away. It's simple and easy to use once you learn to make wicks and coils. My wife has one now too and uses protanks and a kick on it with no problems. My current line up is a sigelei 19, a sigelei 24 and an eVic.... the eVic is just sitting there collecting dust, the 24 has an annoying firing button that I will replace eventually and the 19 is currently sitting in front of me full of homemade coconut cream juice in an AGI and a fresh 18500 battery.... it's vaping great and I'm gonna stop typing now so I can go back to enjoying it.

thanks, quiter, for pointing that out. mech mods themselves are NOT just for advanced users, they're very easy to use and are, for the most part, perfectly safe. as long as the mech is being used with "standard" toppers (ie, carto's, clearo's, etc.) and decent batteries, they're no more dangerous than any other apv. it's only when you start trying to put sub-ohm coils on them that they become potentially dangerous.

@ DaBears - if you're pretty satisfied with your set-up right now and would like to try dripping, i'd recommend ordering a couple HH357 atty's. they're a little pricey, but they're probably the best pre-built dripping atty's available. it's not quite the same as a rebuildable, but you should get a pretty good idea about what to expect with one.

So I've been looking around and found I like the features and design of the vamo v3 from fasttech $54.32 Vamo V3 Variable Voltage E-Cigarette Mod Battery Compartment Set - with Nitecore I2 charger / 2*Sony US18650V3 batteries at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping any suggestions for a delivery device? I have been using a evod pretty much all the time, I've used the iclear30 and vivi nova and I prefer the evod for flavor ease of use/filling. My experience with the nova was so so when it worked right its okay and the iclear 30... Well I hated it.. Everything about it the flavor seemed off the mouth piece was unpleasant being its raw metal I felt like there was a taste trasfer. So I'm wondering does the protank have the same problem or not being that its a coated (chrome?)

 

[vapo jam]

well, i unfortunately lost my protank, but if i remember correctly, sometimes it did taste a bit metallic. i think this was more when it was new than after it had some use, though, so perhaps it just needs to be cleaned very well prior to use?

all in all, the protank does perform very well with the vamo. actually, it works very similarly to the evod, except it has a little more airy of a draw (some people like this, some hate it).

one thing that may be worth mentioning is that the vamo does have ego cone threading, so it does work with the evod. if you're perfectly happy with it, it's not at all necessary to go around looking for new toppers.
