As stated I am shopping for a tube type device. There are so many and everyone says they have the best. I have been using the basics New Nature, Blu, V2 and started with an original Ego ecig (hated it). I would like to upgrade to a tube to get even more vapor and "throat hit" but, I just don't know what to buy. I would prefer a kit that I do not really need to modify. I am not opposed to dripping but, would like to avoid it if possible. I have read 100's of post and watched hours of videos and i still feel like I'm on page one. Shipping is another factor and the main reason I want to get away from Blu cigs, for I live in Alaska. Also, the expense is killing my budget. I am looking for a device that is not too big but, still packs a punch. I would also like to purchase the juice from the same proprietor if possible. I have also learned that menthol means different things to different suppliers. I am looking for a fresh, strong yet smooth menthol flavor. I am a former Newport smoker. I have been vaping since 15SEPT11 and smoke free since. I still have a lot to learn though. The devices I have been looking at are Lava Tube, Ego W, Ego T, KGO, Alpha, VMOD and many others. Please help.
I really need help shopping for a tube type vaping device! Head is spinning!

Welcome , out of all of those , I would have to go with the Lava tube , but not the old style , the new one like the Lambo , and there are some others , that have been re-branded . I sure some other people will come on and give you a few more ideas . Good Luck
I have a lavatube, Lavatube mini, Ego twist, and my new Provari, so far nothing I have tried even at vapemeets has come close to the Provari. Yes, it has a big price tag, but even holding it in the hands just give a quality craftsmanship. my lavatube made it through afghanistan so I know its durable enough for anything.
if you are looking for full kit check out kidney punch it is a full kit with the lambo lava tube an xtar charger juice cartos( or clearo maby both??) batts and a pretty good warrenty its pricy ($175, i think with free shipping) but its great gear...
If you are looking at a 3.7 v tube joytech makes a tube that takes a 18650 batt and is a true 3.7. I love mine. Don't use it as much as the provari of course but a nice fixed volt tube. Switch head is also replaceable. You can get in to the whole kit for around 40 bucks. If you get the lava tube get the big one not the mini. The mini runs 18350's that die pretty quick and the highest 18350's Ive seen were 800 mah. GL!
Are you interested in something that has Variable Voltage? That would give you more versatility regarding cartos you can use.
You mentioned not wanted to break the budget,... that pretty much rules out ProVari ($200)
As you step down in price consider: Buzz Pro ($130), VMAX ($95), Lavatube/VTube ($60), The EGo-Twist ($30)
Or if you are interested in something more simple. A fixed voltage tube mod which will give you excellent hits using Low Res cartos/attys:
Then consider : The Silver Bullet ($85) , The Bolt ($35), EGo - 18650 "Preggo" ($25), KGO ($17)

Out of all your choices i'd choose the lavatube because it's a VV device, has a larger battery, and has generally good reviews.
But if you have extra budget, you could look at the provari, it could save you more money, if you get the lavatube then months later you want the provari. LOL

Hi and welcome to ECF,
You said a tube mod and you don't want it very big, all of the 18650's I would consider big. But, vtube and provari each have a mini if you are wanting vv, if you are wanting a 3.7 then you might want to look at the BB, it is the smaller version of the SB and built very well.

provari is offering blemished chromes for 140 right now. the blemishes are very light and dont show in photos and the mod works like any other provari..great. if you ever think about a bottom feeder try a reo
Shoot me a pm, i have a LT just sitting around that could be better used by someone else. If your interested.
I am soaking all of this in and adding to my research. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all this help so far. I also wanted to answer a few questions i was asked. The ProVari does seem a little large but, i am just used to regular e cigs. What I really would like in price is to buy something that I am satisfied with and have a better vaping experience rather than jumping around looking for a product that makes me happy. I would also like to have a smaller over all price on e juice in the pre-filled carts from certain companies that don't always deliver in their quality. So, in short the initial price may over come the total in the future I feel. o take my questions further- what direction is best for carts? as far as quality and price? Are the wick type refills superior to pre-fills or what are my options? I'm not being as clear as i want to be for everyone to help me but, I hope I am getting across what I'm wanting to know. Also, wow! What a great help you all have been so far. Thank you all!
Keeping it simple is key for your situation.
So buy the KGo from EliteVaporWorks. I just recommended this to my cousin. He loves it. I started with this kit too and enjoy it alot.
Elite Vaporworks KGO Starter Kit with Boge LR Cartomizers - KGO
The cartos it comes with will work great. The juice is plenty to get you started til you get more juice. It has 2 'cigs', a charger, enough empty cartos. Buy it and don't look back.

you have to get your 5 posts in and then wait for the system to ok you... you have 5 posts now i bet you will be able to send a pm today
For a more expensive option i would go with the Silver Bullet from altsmoke. But if money is an issue try the Smoktech Bolt from myvaporstore.
And the easy way to pm is click on the users name and you should see under their name a send personal message link. When you get a pm you can view it by clicking the notifications link on the top. Easy peasy.
