impossible question and request for a APV

[Misthold]

I have a little impossible question perhaps..

I like to see what vaping somthing like a provari or LT etc is like.. but limited on funds..

Is there a way to see what all the fuss is about in less expensive option?

Somthing regulated, someting VV and longer batt life..

or does the vision spinners, Ego twist give you that taste of the higher end advanced??

Just curious as so far, not a huge diffrence with just the VV option.. with a vision spinner and ego twist.. so kind of worried that going the APV route will prove not so worth it..

so a simple low cost option to try, fool with.. in the noob stage would be nice..

Any model suggestions??

What's your budget?

Full kit lavatube can be picked up for round about 40 pounds now not perfectly regulated but will give you a good idea and you havnt broken the bank if its not for you failing that a ego c twist is a good option but seing as your keen to try mods I would Reccomend the lava over it

Budget truth is.. under a $100? including batt and charger... Big expectation I know..

I like somthing in the $50.00 range..
so far.. still stuggling with reliable perfromance from nova tank, clearos etc.. and using a standard batt and the ego twist/vision options.. and not found any huge benifit as of yet to VV.. but have all LR atties.. so may be part of it..
so.. if this is the case.. will a higher end mod offer me any bliss?
I know.. I need to get to a vape meet....

Check out pbusardo's review of the KGO VV system. Version 2 with some fixes is available at hoosierecig. Awesome price for a good starter.. You'll be surprised

P.S. It's not "high end"

The Vamo is variable voltage and variable wattage. Currently around $50 from US vendors and getting good reviews.
This vendor has it: OKC Vapes - Oklahoma's Premier Supplier of Electronic Cigarettes, E-Liquid, and Accessories!
ETA: Looks like they sold out and are ordering more. You can pre-order. Or if you ask on the thread I linked below those guys will know where else they sell them.

There's a thread about it here:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...9173-any-vamo-etna-vv-vw-owners-here-yet.html

It has variable voltage and variable voltage, and test results have said its accurate.

Are there any vapers in your area or perhaps a brick and mortar? Then you could try the different things without forking over the money. That would be an ideal situation, and less chance of making a mistake buying something you don't like. If not, then just bear in mind that other than a mechanical or ProVari you are buying a disposable. Some of the suggestions for the items that use a removable battery that you charge outside the unit may last you longer than some of the eGo's, but in the long run you are buying something with no warranty or a limited warranty and no repair available. At that point it is almost preferable to get a cheap eGo for now, and while using it save the money from not smoking cigarettes to invest in a long term device like the ProVari.

So, the simple low cost option to try, in the noob stage: go with a VV eGo type device and when it dies you should have enough saved up for a long term cost option.

If you get something like the Vamo you won't need LR atties. BTW - APVs are not disposables. That's just a put down coming from politics and isn't necessary. There's some good APVs within your budget that people happily use.

The LR atties were made to use on the fixed eGo's. With the SR and VV you have a wider range to "dial in" your vaping preference. So, yes, the LR atties are part of it.

I hope you find something you enjoy enough to keep the cigarettes in the pack!

LOL, politics? I think we have a different view of "disposable". In my view, if something breaks and can't be repaired I throw it away. It has no residual value, it is broken trash = disposable. How is that political and not necessary to inform a buyer of that simple distinction - that if you buy a unit that cannot be repaired and only replaced it is, in fact, disposable? I find that very necessary to know when making my purchase decisions.

For instance, I will NOT buy a Zmax for over $100 knowing someday I have to throw it away. That is too steep a price as I am not a rich enough person to keep throwing money away like that. I WOULD pay $159 for a Provari that is repairable. I will pay $60 for a Zmax, but no way over $100 for something going to the landfill. It is simple economics for me, and is in no way "political".

There are some very good PV's in their purchase range that people are enjoying using. And if they are getting people off the cigarettes that is the most important thing, but I wouldn't want them thinking they are going to own it for the long haul.

You could look at this one eGo Variable Volt/Watt APV V2 (Only Body) [D-B4 APV] - $39.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail It looks pretty good, and from what I've seen from people who've gotten...it's being well recieved so far. Definitely more on the "high end" side, although the price certainly isn't. I have no idea about what the shipping might be for it, however. I do know lots of people order from this vendor with no problems, so it's worth a look!

No-one mentioned a Zmax. But they are pretty sturdy, and if I ever did need to use the warranty it wouldn't bother me if it was replaced rather than repaired. A whole new pv would be cool with me. Havn't paid more than $100 for mine but they are worth it at $120 or so. I say that having used them. No-one knows how long a Provari will actually last - they haven't been out that long. Your response is a bit odd tho as I didn't mention a Zmax or a Provari. So yes, I do think there's some politics going on here.

Well you don't know how long these pvs will last. Every pv I've bought still works, some after nearly 8 months. The only one that doesn't is because of my own error. That's one out of several. If some-one wants to try an APV now there are some good options within a good price range. At $50 I wouldn't care if it didn't last ten years. Lots of people are buying these pvs, which is why I linked to a thread for the OP to read their comments and reports - since they are the ones using them.
Provari's cost more than $100 - not in the OPs budget. You seem to want to discourage anyone from using anything except one more expensive pv.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the variable voltage Gripper: Variable Volt Gripper

$50 for a variable voltage mod that uses an 18650 imr battery for all day use. I just ordered one for out-and-about use to sub for my Provari. It IS made only of a shock resistant plastic case (light in weight) and may have a notoriously poorly designed battery door, but the OP wants something cheap to get some first impressions of a variable voltage mod. The VV Gripper seems like a good choice.

Well yes, Bad, we know she wants a cheaper vv - that's why she was recommended some other good ideas too. Grippers are ok, and I considered one myself. The size is good but I'm always put off by hearing about the battery door breaking.

Thanks everyone.. I think I try using some diffrent Atties.. I be rebuilding some of my stardust clearos and my nova heads soon.. and can increase the Ohms a bit to try the higher voltages on the Ego/vision VV batts I have and see..
I hope to go to a vape meet.. and get to a store as there is one..that has a good reputation.. but a hour away..
