How much better is vaping with a vv mod?

Just got my provari today!....I was foolish to think my 510 batteries were what you would call vaping...You can't even relate the two...Seriously...cranked it up to 4.7 and it's beautiful...warm vapour, large plumes, excellent flavour, it's just ammmmmaaaazing...and know I don't have to change batteries in an hour, I don't even know what I'm gunna do with 1100 mah. Oh and the button menu system is child's play, showed it to my non-vaper, non-smoker friend, and she pointed out the only thing I consider a major flaw in the design....it doesn't play sodoku...
Sorry, I'm just really excited, so the only things I can find wrong with this thing are:
-It's biased towards right handed people. I'm a lefty, so when I click with my left hand, the numbers are upside down
-I'm constantly refilling cartos because of how much I wanna vape this thing
-It doesn't play sodoku...

Warm vapor..that's what I'm missing on the ego-t. I want warm vapor and great flavor, those are really the main reasons I want a vv.
I've thought ahead about refilling cartos, I hate topping them off a lot so I'm placing an order for a Lil Mama or a similar tank/carto system.

Hello and welcome Nate.
Congratulations on your killing the Newports in such short order and with such ease.
There's a couple ways to go about answering your question but I've decided on this:
You are new. You are looking to find and try as many vaping experiences as possible. So, YES, a VV device will help you as it can be adjusted to match your taste. It is far, far more flexible.
Your vaping experience is about to get a serious upgrade!
All the best!

My approach to getting a provari, was the same as playing a racing video game. You can either progress slowly and buy slightly better cars, or you can have a bit of a hard time in the beginning, trying to beat as much as you can with the starter car, and save up to buy one of the best cars, and the rest of the game is a cake walk. Then afterwards, every other car you buy is cheap and affordable because of all the higher level races you're winning, and you really only buy the other cars for fun and to get achievements (sorry if this is nerdy). I had to scrape and scrounge for the provari, but I'd rather from here on out, think, oh the mod is 50 bucks, I can totally do that, instead of...10 bucks here, 20 bucks there and when I finally get a provari, I think of all that money I coulda saved. It doesn't have to be a provari, but once you get a feel for the game, I think investing in a high quality high reliability mod will definetely cause less of a headache overall...
Think of the mentality we had when we smoked...10 bucks here and 10 bucks there for a pack of smokes didn't bother us, and it added up to alot...We need to get away from that kinda thinking that got us into trouble in the first place

If you're going to stick with low voltage for a while, I'd suggest going with dual-coil low resistance cartos. It'll increase the amount of vapor and heat, without going to a mod. I'm not sure I'd suggest getting a dct. I don't have one, but they seem to be pretty cheaply built. But then again, they are cheap. I'd say look at a j-tank from electronic-stix. It's what I use, and I'm nothing but happy with them.
About the dual-coil...without much knowledge on it I first think of course it's going to be a hotter burn but my concern is, will it be too much throat hit? Or does it effect TH at all?
I can get a great TH with these 2.0 boges by doing a small drag followed by a big one and sometimes I get a really hard TH that makes me do the funny face and cough
I'd also definitely recommend a vv over your ego-t. I started with the same ego as you. Found the ego atties had virtually no flavour at all. Tried various cartos on (LR's, standard 2 and 2.8) which improved the flavour but still didnt find them satisfying, either not enough heat, lack of vapour or just a funky carto aftertaste. Purchased a vv and absolutely loving it. Will still use the ego's whilst out and about but for vaping at home its the vv all the way for me.
There are some useful review vids on youtube which may help and plenty of info on how the lava tube fares against the provari, which is so popular that its often used as a benchmark.

Well, it's going to depend upon your preferences and what liquid your using. I know it sounds like a cop out, but everyone is different, and it's important that you find what works best for you.
I won't ever suggest spending a whole lot of money on something that you may or may not want, even though I do it all the time. I think that you may be able to get what you want by trying out a $2 carto versus a $200 mod. I wish that vaping was more popular, so that you could go to a physical store and try out some devices. Personally, I'm currently using a lavatube, with the aforementioned j-tank, a 2.5 ohm boge and gorilla juice from ave. When I'm out and about, I tend to carry an ego topped with a clearomizer of some sort, filled with a thinner liquid.

Ego-T owner - at least try some Boge 2 ohm cartos on your T. That's is what most T owners switch to on their batteries. it will be warmer.
got my 1st vv experience w/ a vv eGo type with 3 settings & 4.2v rocked over standard eGos but just made me want MORE!! now sporting a true vv box mod & loving it. usually dialed in around 4.5v to 5.2v depending on type of liquid/flavor, some are better at lower voltages, some don't truly kick ash til I break the 5v mark with them. It's all a matter of taste & preference but having the CHOICE is what makes VV vaping so awesome!!!
Very well said. And, if I could piggyback, most everyone picks up vaping to quit smoking because of health benefits. I haven't heard a soul who has used a provari and not liked it. They offer a one year warranty with the purchase. The cost of the device is 160-170, not 250.
If you're serious about quitting smoking, which you obviously are because you're here and you're vaping, why not do whatever you can to maximize the experience in any way you possibly can? Sure, you'll spend more on the mod, but when you get it and fall in love with it, won't that be worth the guarantee to stay off the analogs? I see it as a small price to pay for my health, absolutely worth it, and that's why my wife lets me get away with it, too, lol. Plus, if for some reason you didn't like it, you could sell it in the classifieds section for near what you paid in a heartbeat or return it to provape, I'm sure.
Anyways, enough about the provari, back to VV. Everyone has pointed out the really big things, but one thing I didn't see mentioned is that sometimes, you want a harder hit than others. I've found that in the mornings, my throat is really dry (I snore) and I can't handle a killer throat hit. So I dial the voltage way down to 4.2-ish volts. After I've had my coffee and get to work, I pick it up to 4.7-5.2 volts, depending on the juice. On my drive home, in traffic, I want a murderous throat hit because DC traffic is insane, so I dial that sucker up to 5.8 volts. VV makes vaping so versatile to fit whatever type of hit you're craving, I absolutely love the flexibility and wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again. Hope this helps!
The vapor will be warmer, more like the real thing, if you kick it up to around 4.5 - 5.0 volts.
I agree, as long as it is regulated and has the circuitry to keep the battery at full charge mode. I'm not sure all variable volt or variable wattage models have that circuitry, however. I would not want to vape any other way now that I have my power regulated, variable wattage Darwin.
Many who use VV models vape around 8.5 watts which equates, depending on resistence, to between 4.5 - 5.0 volts. I would not waste money on a VV or VW model that is not regulated or would not allow me to use any atty/carto I prefer, including dual coils. I use dual coils on my Darwin regularly.
Being an ultra light smoker for years, throat hit isn't something I look for. As long as I can slightly feel the inhale and get a mild peppery effect from the vape, I'm good. What I found using my Madvapes vv box mod is that with Boge 2.0 Cartos I ended up around 3.4v to just under 4.0v with variable voltage. With a 3.0 atty, I was happy at 4.5v to 5.0v.
The first day I had the MV vv box mod, I vaped myself into a slight nic OD at one point. My eGo with a Boge 2.0 carto is just about right.

It won't even be close to a good VV or VW model that at 4.5 - 5.0 volts.
