Looking for advice/suggestions. I'm a fairly new vaper (one month in) and although my Ego C upgrade works well enough, I think its time to start into an APV. I really like the VW feature. I know how to make a calculation using Ohm's Law, but I really like the idea of being able to put any clearo or tank on and have my device figure out the voltage - with me just having to bump through the Watt levels .5 at a time to find the right taste.
I was an almost 2 PAD smoker, so at Canadian cigarette prices (the "cheap" brands, lol) I was spending in the neighbourhood of $435 a month. This means that I could justify something as expensive as a Provari - except they don't have a variable watt feature - at least not yet!
I've watched Phil's videos, read different reviews, checked out quite a few threads as well as visiting the B&M vaping stores in my town to see and heft the models they have in stock - yet I still have not been able to make a definitive decision. As an analytical type, this is unusual for me<grin>!
Here are the parameters I have to consider in my search. I'm one of those "tiny" people - never quite made it to 5' (wear a size five and a half shoe), female, mid-fifties, like a fairly warm vape. I have a hard time picturing myself lugging around a monstrous, dildoesque APV. I like the idea of the Innokin iTaste VV 3.0, particularly because of the VW and USB charging with the ability for pass through vaping - but I am concerned about battery time. I tend to chain vape, and find my 1,100 mamp batteries start to flash blue by the time I'm heading home from work (I do have a USB car charger unit, just in case). I'm also concerned about (as Phil puts it) the "anemic" voltage performance.
The 18650 battery is probably a good idea, and I don't have an issue with the "rattlesnake" sound of a 3.33 MHz chip. I like the build quality of the Innokin SVD, but it is really heavy. If I put my Protank on there, I'm thinking - tendonitis!
I'm hoping a good APV will minimize some of the gurgly vapes I get with my Kanger T3S and overall provide a more consistent vape. I do prefer to buy locally if possible - once I do decide, I want it now - not three weeks away shipped from China (Shia, shia [sp?]).
Am I searching for a mythical beast? Given the rapid innovation in this industry, is something like this likely to come out in the next few months? Or is it out there now and I simply don't know about it?
Your thoughts are much appreciated.
