that there is no perfect PV out there. I have an Eluma 902 an Joye 510. I started out with the Blu, but quickly outgrew it. I like the 902. It has good vapor and good flavor. Batt life sucks. Need to rest too much in between drags. The 510 does not give me great flavor or TH, and batt life stinks. I have researched mods, read hundreds of posts, visited numerous websites, and I have come to the conclusion that all e-cigs stink to some degree. There is no perfect PV out there. Tell me about your perfect PV if you are one of the lucky ones who found it. Something with great batt life and power, good vapor, great flavor, consistant performance. Does it exist?? Please tell me it does.:confused:

My perfect PV - 510 atomizer on a silverbullet.

Why? Because the 510 provides a huge amount of vapor, while still giving great flavor (at 6 volts, I believe it actually brings out the flavor of the majority of my liquids). As for your throat hit problem, you may not be vaping juice that has high enough nicotine content. Battery life is excellent, and the size is 100% fine for me. It easily fits in my pocket and also fits in the palm of my hand with ease.

My other perfect PV ;) - 510 atomizer on a Bartleby.

Why? All the same reasons as the SB, except it's smaller! (Not vaping at 6v isn't a huge issue for me)

Vaposue: I'm with you. Although, I have several PVs which I like better than the others in my arsenal, I strongly doubt I'll be using them for 35 years ... as was the case with the brand of cigarettes I quit smoking. I'm expecting delivery on my Juice Box tomorrow or the day after. I have serious doubts I'll be using it in 2045 either. But then, I have serious doubts I'll be breathing air in 2045. And, serious doubts that in my lifetime there will be a PV as simple as setting fire to a rolled tube of leaves. But, maybe it will be better in the future than what we have now, if the FDA doesn't screw us over and damn us to DIY. I'm having fun, from a hobbiest POV with some DIY juice. But, that's a far cry from creating your own PVs and juice from scratch out of necessity.

Hey, I'm not smoking cigarettes. Imperfect as PVs may be, they're good enough to get me off a 35+ year habit, and I'm delighted with that fact.

I understand your frustration! I wanted something that had a long battery life, that was durable, and would work every time I hit the button. After much frustration and a lot of money spent on other mods, this is what I now use and really like.

GGTS: Home use: 1 14500 Battery

GG Slim: Public use: 1 10440 Battery

i3 Atomizer: Great throat hit and flavor even at 3.7v

I admit that the GGTS and the GG Slim are expensive but I look at it as a long term investment. :)

Get a 5 v mod......an adaptor for cartomizers, you're favorite juice to fill the cartomizers....to me, that's ideal! Long battery life......No worries if you blow an atty.....cartomizers are cheap and seem to last when refilling. Basically you get 5 atomizers for 9 dollars instead of ONE......
Can you suggest a 5 v mod? Which do you use?

In a nutshell....a Provape-1 with a Tornego backup and you'll be good to go for quite a while :)

Exactly what I use (ProVape and eGo) and couldn't be happier. I also added low resistant atomizers to both for a slightly increased throat hit. For the first time, I'm completely satisfied.

Here is the thing....This whole PV Market is so new that we are literally back in the Dark ages.....We have cell phones, Pc, electric cars,Talking navigation systems...Cars that stop them self's...Well you get the point the list goes on and on....But for some strange reason..Theirs no one out there, that can replicate a smoking sensation....I find that hard to believe....Here is My personnel opinion....All of these So called Moders and Juice Makers,are just jumping on the ban wagon...And making as much Money as Possible...Now don't get me wrong a lot of the Mods are decent and vape decent...A lot of the Juice Is decent and Tastes decent.....But when there is an industry that has no control,It is in human nature to make what you can, Cause people will buy it anyways...I guess I'm just rambling on so let me stop....

The perfect ecig, in my opinion, will come with better cartridge engineering / liquid delivery. Take a redesigned cartridge, a 510 atty, and an eGo battery, pretty hard pressed to beat that. We must be patient and enjoy what we have now :)

Ditto could'nt agree more! :thumbs:
