In the market again..

Hey all, so I haven't been on here in a while; I've been extremely busy!

So I usually run my lava tube as my everyday device with an ego passthrough as my back up, or taking it on the rode for over night stays.

Unfortunately, I have to send my lava tube back in for some warranty service, and my ego passthrough has bit the dust. I haven't looked around in a while, and was wondering what was the latest and greatest ego (or ego type device) I could get was. I'm not 100% set on a passthrough, as I feel I could get away with not having one.


Thanks everybody, I appreciate your help! If you have any other recommendations of what type I should get, don't hesitate to post! Also, could you post links, I'm terrible at finding good places to buy things from!

Thanks!

If it's an ego type you're after... I've heard good things about this one.

 

[whitetortuga]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

If I wasn't mistaken, I thought some of the new ego types had LCDs, or even heard rumors about a VV ego type battery? Are any of these true?

I was watching pbusardo's review of gotvapes.com vv ego. But when I went to the site, it wasn't there anymore. In the review.. the voltage dropped considerably underload, meaning that it's highest setting.. it still gave the same voltage as a standard eGo. Meaning the vv feature doesn't work too well. (which is probably why it isn't on their site anymore). If you're looking for a vv device... does it have to be an ego type?

I would pick a Kgo or E-Power anyday over an ego and the EVO anyday over the lavatube. Kgo/E-power both have better batteries than the ego and the variable/selectable Evo does not have the limitations on what you can vape on it like the lavatube. These are all in the general same price/category as the ego/LT. For much better performance I would pick the Darwin or the Provari.

I'm not necessarily looking for something to replace my lava tube. I use that primarily and really enjoy it! My problem is I'm looking for something to replace my broken ego passthrough. I'd prefer to not get something as expensive as a VV mod or anything like that.

I also like the "smallness" of the ego/kgo/etc battery size. It is easy to put a carto on there and it doesn't look bad at all! Not as big as a lava tube with a tank on it

Personally, I think a plain old ego is fine as a backup device. You can get ego passthrus on Madvapes for $19.99.

I wouldn't recommend looking for VV on a fat bat like an Ego/Riva if you're going to get one of those just get the reg or passtrough version.

Since you've already got a 18650 battery and charger though I'd recommend at least looking into a Bolt or Indulgence V3. They are both inexpensive, not much more than you'd pay for a fat battery and they are quite small in comparison to a Lava Tube. Plus with those if you want to get a kick for it when they are available you'll have a nice inexpensive variable wattage mod.

Yep... here's the link. I just saw that they are having a moving sale and if you use the code "madvapes" you can get 10% off

When I went looking for a back-up I wanted something that I almost couldn't brake,was a simplistic all mechanical device, and was versatile.
This is what I chose.
Mako Midi V3 - Moju Republic
Electronicstix.com is where I got mine, but they show "out of stock".
Funny part is that now I consider everything else that I have the back-up to the Mako.
