They have the same internal circuitry, and the tested (vs. written on the battery, which is often BS) mAh of both is effectively the same. They both have the same "Off" approach, slightly unscrew the bottom cap and it breaks the connection. Both of them work with the TR-001 charger.

It pretty much depends on which form factor you prefer, longer and skinnier vs. shorter and wider, though it isn't also that huge a difference. The Buzz Pro might have a slightly larger drip well than the IPro, though I just use carto tanks so that is a don't-care for me.

I have the original Infinity, picked up a Buzz Pro when they came out, like both a lot. As I posted elsewhere, I run 6 - 7 ml of eliquid, at about 8 watts, between battery swaps, using 2.5 - 3 ohm cartos in the 4.5 - 5V region. To me that translates to full day.

If you only have the one charger, still select the charger/battery option with the IPro -- it seems to be coming up at just $10, which means you get the first set of batteries with basically a free charger :) I'd recommend then adding a second set of batteries. Don't forget to use the "ECF Buzzkill" discount code.

You could do what I did and save even more money and pick up an original buzz in the classifieds for around 80 dollars. Also pick up a screw in meter from Madvapes. I have found my sweet spot (specific voltage) and I just set it with the screw and leave it. I found playing with the wheel I would overdrive my cartomizers. Atomizers are a bit more forgiving.

I like my devices to stay where I put them and the infinity pro in my opinion is just way to long and I was constantly bumping the wheel on accident, and in cartomizers the difference between 4.7 and 5.2 is a burnt tasting carto.

All that being said I think they are great products, I might have just gotten one with a finicky wheel. Can't wait to try the VVPV!

My wife uses her Buzz Original Red with Brass everyday all day with no problems. I put a Boge 3.0 Liquinator 3ml set the screw 4.7 and she is a very happy camper!

Note that the OB does use the screwdriver adjustment, that is why I went to original Infinity instead of OB, I prefer the thumbwheel. I find I tweak voltage a couple times during any given day, so not having to use the screwdriver is a plus.

Original Infinity is nice if you are okay with 2A current limit. Since I vape single coil, 8 - 10w, that's not been an issue for me, but it is a limit. Also on original Infinity you have to put the batteries in the right way, newer IP has reverse polarity protection.

(I really like my Infinity, working like a champ, batteries still excellent.)

There is a 2mo old Buzz Pro on the classies for $115 with 2 sets of batteries, I am twitching at pulling the trigger on.

pulled the trigger and offered full price minus the paypal fees. Think I would rather have the shorter, larger diameter, as they seem to fit my pocket pretty well.

I would rather have an XL Roughstack in my pocket than an eGo XL, due to the form factor, so that is my basis, given a good deal.

That is a good price, 2 months old is nothing. Are the batteries powerizers? (either those or the aw 750 mAh nominal work quite well)

Yeah awesome deal, they are Powerizers, 2 pair, one pair new still in the wrapper and the other pair he's been using. Awesome deal I would grab it if I didn't already have one. Only thing is it's got one brass cap and one chrome which is a little different but buying a cap to match wouldn't cost much if that was an issue for the buyer.

I am not concerned with the caps being different. this thing will be sitting at my home desk 99% of the time. Thanks all for your feedback. I am either getting a used Buzz Pro or a new Infinity Pro. I want to be able to use the dial to change voltage,

The buzz also has the advantage that it will stand up on my desk easier with that larger diameter.

My only complaint about the Infinity Pro is that it is so light, skinny and long, that i knock it over all the time trying to reach for it. If you're a tank user, I might recommend getting a buzz pro, because the Infinity Pro is skinny, and the tank makes it kind of top heavy (especially if you use a stainless steel tank... those weigh more than the iPro itself).

Other than that I love it - vapes great, and is a dripping machine with a drip shield on it (the round ones fit perfectly on it - almost like they were made for it).
