If you want to take the step up to high-voltage vaping (5+ volts), there are many devices to choose from. I very much enjoy my Super-T1 and have and AdapteveR due to hit my mailbox early next week. But, generally, most any of the newer custom battery pack devices, you should expect similar performace from your favorite atomizer. Ultimately, you selection would be based on style, safety features and other design features of interest to you. While most every deivce in this category is made in limited production runs, any would probably be the last device you would ever need.

Devices for your consideration should include the AdapteveR, Super-T, GLV, Prodigy, Xhaler, GG, and any other devices I cannot recall immediately.

I 'grew up' on a 510 and went to the Silver Bullet. I can't speak for the other hv mods out there but I can say that this SB has eliminated any hardware issues (outside of cartridge filling, that's the same as before). It is a 'native' 510 so no adaptor is needed for your atty.

In retrospect, the battery rotation that I used to go through with the 510 was all-consuming in and of itself. Now I change batteries once a day in the morning (whether they need it or not) and never have to think about it again. Add to this the vapor production (finally:p) and throat hit (finally:shock:) and it has made vaping much less of a seemingly unfulfilling ordeal so now I can just go about vaping and enjoying.

I have not tried the SB at 3.7v. There is a difference in flavor at 6v, but I use primarily menthol and there is not much issue there. Some of the other flavors tasted a bit sweeter at the higher voltage however this is something I never would have noticed had I not been used to them with the regular 510 battery.

Lastly, it feels really good in my hand and the 'trigger' functions seamlessly. It's a large piece so not inconspicuous but I usually tend to vape more in private or only around people I'm close to anyway.

Best to you and Merry Christmas !!:thumb:

If I can expect the same or similar performance to what I'm getting now, what would be the benefit of the higher voltage?

fester provided a very good reply to your questions. In addition to eliminating the hassles of typical screw-in batteries, a custom battery pack uses widely-available, inexpensive batteries, and can be used with most any atomizer with the purchase of simple adapters. No need to buy a starter kit each time you want to try a different atomizer.

I'll also recommend a chuck and an SB.

Same batteries.

Keep in mind, the primary difference between any mod is going to be the build, as the batteries used are pretty much all the same. 6V is 6V. 5V is 5V. Whether 5V is achieved nicely through a regulator or cheaply through a resistor is different. Whether its a cheap button to press, or its a nice hefty one. Whether or not its a solid piece that could be dropped and be safe, etc.
