How much better is vaping with a vv mod?

[Nate854]

Got an Ego-T start up kit with the 900MaH battery a few weeks ago. The tanks are cool, a little messy, I wasn't thrilled with it but it wasn't a complete fail and it stopped my 15 yr pack a day Newport habit dead in it's tracks I picked up some Boge LR 2.0 cartos and some juice from Pink Spot and vaping got so much better. I think I found the sweet spot for me personally.

My question is, will it be that much better if I bought a Lava Tube or similar vv? I don't want to miss out on an even better vaping experience but I don't want to shell out $80+ bucks for something that will only be a minor improvement.

I guess I'm wondering if I put the Boge 2.0 cartos on a Lava Tube and set it at 3.7, will it be the same vape as my ego-T? Or if I put 3.0 cartos on the Lava Tube at a higher volt would it be better than what I have now?

Thanks!

No - Egos are 3.4v. But it would be similar to a 3.7v Ego-shape device or a 3.7v mod.

i can tell ya i just made a mod that only gives a true 4.2v and it rocks over my epower that is 3.7v and i can tell

Yeah I would be happy with 4.2 all the time - that's what 3.7v's are fresh off the charger but then they drop down to their 3.7v slowly degrading slanted voltage plateau.

Short answer vv is WAY better! Its not just the volt control, its the fact that its regulated (cosistant). So whatever voltage you set it at it stays at that voltage till the batt runs down. You dont get the gradual loss of volts you get with a standard fixed voltage batt that is unregulated as the batt drains.

First vape is as good as the last.

Good qustion i was wondering that myslef

Nate854,

By leaps and bounds Brutha leaps and bounds, seeing most Carto's and Atty's are built to a spec of + or - .2 it makes a difference, it also makes a difference with all the new Atty's and cartos that are always coming out these days to be able to have the VV,,,, You have a much better chance of hitting your sweet spot ( ALL THE TIME ) compared to some of the time.!

this is very true and what I like the most about VV however it's not true for the lava tube it doesn't hold it's voltage well at higher voltages as the battery drains but it is an inexpensive device and might not be a deal breaker for most

Good to hear the LT stays consistent. What US charger works with the Lava Tube? I see it's sold by a UK company and the charger is EU only. Can anyone point me to a charger?

Now to decide if I want to go with a vv like Lava Tube/Buzz Pro or something like a Silver Bullet. Way too many decisions with vaping lol

 

[kabonk]

you misunderstand me the lava tube doesn't hold it voltage as the battery drains

 

[Nate854]

I posted before I read that. What mod will hold it's voltage then? And at what voltage does LT diminish? Anything above 3.7 or like 5-6 volts? (which I probably wouldn't go that high I don't think)

 

[whatitstrue]

volcano seels the lav tube here in the US. I havent used that particular device so I cant say how long the batt will last.

The batts are protected or IMR and are removebale for almost all vv devices. they just go into a charger.

The silver bullet isnt VV.

It also doesn't hold it's voltage if it "thinks" it should be set at something other than what you set it at. Here's an example: a dual coil cartomizer set at 5V...the LT won't let you do it...it self regulates down to 3.7ish volts. It's the worst VV mod to hit the market.

That's why ya step up to the plate and buy a Darwin, Provari, or other high quality VV/VW PV then you have no worries ;-)

There are tons of good vv devices. To many to name, but here are a couple of the most popular. Provari, Darwin, buzz pro and madvapes has a cheap under $50 vv box mod that is ok to start out with among others.

I use a MyGo VV PV (same as the Lavatube) and the voltage does stay constant as the battery drains. Depending on how much I vape-usually a lot, I can get at least a good day from the battery. I vape with atty's, cartos and tanks and the ability to adjust the voltage to each is a wonderful thing! The Ego is a great system, but if you go VV you will have a hard time going back!

As advertised it does = Regulated output which keeps the voltage the same with each puff - regardless of your remaining battery power. As the battery drains, the device will keep the voltage consistent.

I was looking at the Buzz Pro, it's either that one or the Lava Tube. Not ruling out the Silver Bullet either though but I know it's not a vv mod.

Not touching the Pro or Dar, I can't spend $250 on a mod, no matter how awesome it is lol. I just started 3 weeks ago so I don't wanna get in too deep just yet.

 

[mwa102464]

Nate the VV Reo will also be coming out soon too ! Juice, Batts, VV, all in one unit, will be a nice Mod using the same electronics the Buzz uses. just a thought, Buzz pro will do ya if ya want just the tube though.
