Innokin svd / mvp / smoktech sid / vamo / lavatube ????

[shabbar]

Hi guys ...


Need help making a decision . cant decide what to choose from these innokin SVD / MVP / SMOKTECH SID / VAMO / LAVATUBE ????

any opinions / suggestions will be appreciated .

Thanx in advance

Personally I love my Vamo V3. it has variable volt / variable wattage so you can learn about both and decide what you like. it also has a built in Ohm meter so you can get into rba's like I did, and use it to test what you made!

I like the joyetech eVic. It is vv/vw and it does not use pulse width modulation (no rattlesnake sound when you vape). The Innokin iTaste MVP and Provari (and the DNA20 mods) are the only ones that I know of that don't use PWM.

Why between all those?

I do enjoy my vamo as he mentioned above. I use a v2 for work, and a v3 for home/out n about. Quality is hit or miss though, I would get one through fasttech if you choose a vamo, they have a 6 month warranty. And real nice kits for the price of the body in the states.

As for the rest, if sure there are thousands who can/will chime in.

I have most of those, the MVP is my favorite with the SID closely behind.

IMO, Vamo is the best money can buy if you like the look of it.
It's pretty much the same chip in every chinese VV/VW mod, so it's really just a matter of personal taste.

If $ is non issue?

I have all except the SID. It comes down to which form factor you like. Out of the ones you mentioned, the MVP is the only box mod and without VW and my current favorite. However the MVP 2.0 will be out soon with an ohms reader and VW.
Although some may not like, I like the fact that you don't have to buy separate batteries and chargers, plus it is a 2600 mah device so less charging in between. The downside of that however would be that if the batteries stop holding a charge, you have to replace the whole unit.
I didn't like the box form at first, but after using it, I love the fit in my hand. So my recommendation would be the MVP, but if you like the tube mods, then the Vamo.

I have a Vamo and a SID on the way, and I still have the SVD in my cart at FastTech. I love the Vamo quite a bit.

Like the no nonsense button/menu style of the svd. Also like my vamo, but not as much as my svd.

The new innokin mvp version 2 is a good option if you like box mods too. It's mostly about where you like your buttons to be and how you want it to look.

VAMO V3 works a treat but would go for a provari

 

[Coastal Cowboy]

Yes / Yes / Yes / Yes / Yes



Seriously, you can't go wrong with any of those. Just take your time, shop around, decide which one has the features you're interested in and go with it. They all hit like Mike Tyson and they all have big followings here on ECF.

Vamo's never let me down and my mate has the svd which is awesome too.

Definitely itaste svd body for 30 eur from fasttech. Cant get better. It has looks, build quality and most importantly all the necessary features like vv/vw/ohm reader/lock buttons/oled display/battery level in volts.

Like all else have said, everything you listed does the exact same functions. It will come down to navigating between the features and the actual look of the device. I was down to svd or vamo. I'm sorry but I think the vamo is horrid looking and I like the detail,on the svd. I got my svd from fasttech last week and it rocks.

I see a lot of people across the internet opinion about button placement etc, but truth be told if you are only going to get one, you are going to learn how that one works and not have anything to compare it to. Basically your first choice cannot be "wrong" until you buy a second vv/vw device and have the ability to say you like one button or menu layout over the other. No matter which one you pick it will be the right choice.

If I had to choose between each of those models and the price points for each APV, I would choose the Sigelei V5. It has all the functions of the others and more, with the best quality of any of those mentioned, imho, and the best looking too, again, imho. Best APV under $100 in my opinion. I recently sold about half my APV's including most of the models you mentioned. Not because they aren't good, but just because they aren't the best for my personal preference. Regardless of what you get, please make sure that the basic features are included which will include variable voltage and an Ohm meter. Also, a 6 volt output is good, and needed occasionally. Also, you can get LED or OLED displays in this price point...the OLED being much nicer. Also, I like stainless steel for care, maintenance and appearance. Lastly, make sure you can use both ego threading and a 510 connection. Not each of the models you selected can meet these criteria, but I have found them important in my VapeQuest. It's all a personal preference thing, but functionality and looks do vary by device. Also, variable wattage is nice when you first start out, and are experimenting with different toppers. Eventually, you may settle in on specific devices and vw is less important. Good luck, happy hunting, best to you, power up and vape on!

This is a fantastic point. I got the MVP first and LOVED it....right up until I got my SID. Now the MVP sits in my vape box as a backup. Still think it's great, just found out I liked the SID a smidge more. Before I had anything else to compare to I thought it was the bee's knees. So I'd have to say go for whatever you find the best deal on, just do yourself a favor and don't skimp on batts and charger. Good luck!!!

Seconded for the bats and chargers. Rule of thumb is don't get anything from ebay as there are soooo many knock off batteries that boast these awesome mah but are no where near that (yes there are some good vendors if you know who they are). Second rule of thumb, from what I have gathered from the forum in general, is to not fully trust anything that ends in FIRE (ie trustfire). Stick to AW, Panasonic, EFH, tenergy to name a few good brands.

Get Nitecore charger as its trusted, carries the features you need such as over charge protection and the price point unbeatable. There are some better but 5 times the price.

@IBCR Media has good links to some trusted ebay folks for bats and chargers if you need to go the ebay route.

EDIT: One other thing I do when trying to chose between models with the same features is that I will download the user manuals from the manufacturers sites as those will generally have a better breakdown on how things work, or button combos, etc. I find this is the best way to get as close "hands on" since most cannot get to b and m store that stocks and demos hardware.

If $ is non issue?

Yes, this is on my next wish list..it sure is purdy. I just ordered a Sigelei Zmax Kit paid $76 because my budget would only allow me that much. I hope it woun't give me any problems but I get a 90 warranty on it. I am not sure if the Smoktech Z Max thing was the one with isses..so I choose Sigelei.

Check out my SVD and Vamo comparison/review. I have both and the SVD gets my nod for several reasons. All that you listed are very good, I don't think you can go wrong. I love the flexibility both the Vamo and SVD bring to the table - can run 3-4 different battery configurations, VV and VW, resistance testers built in, built in battery charge testers, very inexpensive, etc., etc.
