I think you'll thank yourself for going ahead and getting Variable Voltage or Variable Power right out of the shoot.

Most things required of the Buzz or Infinity will be universal to most of the mods out there.

1. If it uses a 'set' of stacked batteries. Mark them as sets and keep them together for life. If 'one' battery in the set goes bad, go ahead and replace them both...together. Not just 'one' of them.

2. If it uses a 'set' of batteries together...some people like to alternate which one goes on top each time. And if the charger is geared to charge in sets (as opposed to charging each battery independently)...some folks like to alternate that order as well. I'm not sure if that's really a big deal...I suppose it depends on the chemistry of the specific batteries in question. It shouldn't hurt anything to get in the practice tho'.

This takes a little more time/effort than the typical 'use and throw away' starter ecig kits, but in the end I think you'll find it really is worth it. VV will save you nickles and dimes along the way (I find I can milk a little more life out of each carto/atty due to it...and less trying to clean them is needed), as will the replaceable type batteries...PLUS, your mod will retain some value in and of itself if you ever outgrow it or decide to quit vaping.

THNX again Creedo,
I'm going for it and get the Infinity. I found Buzz and Infinity are the same inside (electronics) I read Buzz Kill saying in one of their posts. I want the slimmer model (Buzz is a little fat). I went back to Nocigs site and see you order it 510,801,808 or 901.
My search has come to an ebd,as far as the E Cig I'm getting. Now I need to start my research for which way I want it.
I'm such a "Rookie", I need to figure out the differences between those choices and which one I want.

So to all that have responded to this post and others I have posted in the past. THANK YOU ONE and ALL !!! As I said;
I've been smoking 40yrs,so I was taking my time ( a couple months) to make sure I get this right the 1st time. You've all gave your opinions and I've listen to them all. I'm going to spend the money for the Infinity Pro. But now need to learn what I need for Atty's ,Carts and Juice. I'm still going to look at tanks. Don't know if I'll go that route,but they have some very nice looking ones,some blown glass on's also.

THNX EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!

Hi Water, I'm looking at buying the Infinity or the Buzz as well.
I'm leaning toward the Infinity due to its price and repositioned voltage wheel. Although it looks a bit tall.

I went with V2 cigs a little while back (and they are actually really good-- 4.2 volt batteries and tasty carts), but I want different options now.
I want to drip, and to smoke LR and HV carts and atomizers... to never be left wanting more kick or flavour.

I still smoke analogs too (which sucks), but I feel like having a more versatile tool will make all the difference.

So don't make the same mistake I made. ;-)
You can pick up some stick batteries later if you want, for portability... although you may not want to, after going vv.
It damn well better work for me! lol

Good luck to you, Water.
And if I ever inherit a fortune, I'll have you build me one of those engines in a Porsche.
Coincidently, though, I am looking into trading in my VW Golf for an Altima hybrid.
Baby steps.

Take care.

Potts:
I'm not building engines.
What I'm talking about is: Using a very old technology (over 100 yrs) Electrolysis. You probably expermented with it in school
Where you take a battery and run DC current between an Annoid and Cathoid in water. The Hydrogen and Oxygen seperate in the water and raise as bubbles to the water surface and escapes into the air,as there natural gases. As in water: the gases aare produced at the same rate they are in water (2 Hydrogen and 1 oxygen) Hence: H2o or term used when use as an enhancement for fuel "HHO". We done in you car,the the Wet (not very effiecent) or dry Cell (much more efficent),water continually eneters into the Cell and electrity from your cars charging system is used to seperste the Hydrogen and Oxygen through the Electroysis process. The gases are collected as they leave the water and intrduced into the engine through the air intake. HHO burns 3X faster than gas and is 10X as explosive,so it gets into the combustion chamber and starts the excellerates the burn process. making a much better overall burn. Hence: you improve your MPG's,get more HP and aa much cleaner exhaust (drastically reduced emissions). That's about it. If you Gooogle "HHO",you'll find tons of Cells being sold
But for anyone thinking about doing the. BEWARE: there is tons of absolute garfbage out there. So you'll need to be extra carefull in your research !!!!

I think you should get whatever device you'll feel most comfortable using, and one that'll give you what you want to get out of vaping.

Sometimes all your important criteria won't exist in the same device.

I started vaping a year ago on a KR808 setup just like the Volt. I chose it because it was much like a real ciggie in terms of size and shape, and operated in much the same way. I got black auto ones with blue led's and they attracted a little attention when I was out on the town...something I didn't think of at first.

A few months later I tried the Joye 510 and got rid of it after a couple of weeks. It worked great but I just found myself reaching for the 808's more often so it wasn't for me.

Since then I've tried a box mod, a massive pipebomb much bigger than the buzz pro, and an ego and now I'm back to where I started on the 808's.

I'm considering an 1100mah ego for home use, but there's no way I'd be caught dead vaping from it in public. Maybe I'm a little vain but I feel silly vaping from a great big thing when everyone else is smoking ciggies and I don't like to look like a tool that much. For the same reason I won't vape from a pipebomb or a walkie-talkie box mod where anyone else can see me either. Others will surely disagree.

My suggestion...go for the buzz pro IF you feel that it will be a wonderful vaping experience for you, but please also consider how you'd feel using it in public. The Volt is a solid choice for an analog style ecig and easily the best of the mini's when it comes to price, size, performance and battery life so why not get both?

Now even though the Volt has great battery life in the 78mm version for a mini e cig, it's still quite short so get two batteries minimum, I'd go 3 at least myself, and get a PCC case so you can charge on the go.

Whatever happens, you've picked out some great gear to choose between.

I've thought about that,which is one of the reasons I didn't want the Ego. I didn't want a Big fat E cig,which made my search eventually head to the Volt. I really like the Volt and it gets great reviews. I was about to order when I found the Buzz and Infinity. Nothing but Rave reviews on the Buzz. When I was looking at the Buzz,I seriously thought about it size. I learned that an Infinity is exactly the same as a Buzz on the inside. I like it's slim sleek look and it's the same as a Buzz,so I decided I would give it a try. I know I need a back up,so I'm gboing to get a Volt also. Now I'm on to learning about Atty's,Carts,Juice Ect. I'll use the same juices in the Volt and Infinity,just need to find some great juice MADE IN AMERICA !!! No china juice going into this body !!! THNX for resp[onding to my post and for your thoughts.

Great stuff.
The volt will make an excellent backup, and like myself, you'll find yourself reaching for one or the other depending on the situation and what you feel like so it's definitely worth going both options.

I'm not an expert on sources for good US made juice, except maybe buying nicotine from myfreedomsmokes.com and flavourings from The Perfumer's Apprentice or LorAnn, that's as far as my knowledge goes on that topic.

When it comes to juice though, I do know that the performance, vapor and flavour are going to be totally different on the iPro and the Volt unless you have the iPro set at 3.7v and are using the same cartomizers, so you'll probably end up mixing special volt batches and iPro batches. That's what I did and it's plenty interesting playing around with it.

510 threading is what you'll want, like others have said, there's way more choice of fittings and one thing I have noticed is that 808 cartos don't cope well with high voltage vaping, but you can buy a 808 top cap for the iPro separately I believe in case you change your mind, but you probably wont.

Either way you're gonna have alot of fun learning about all this new and cool ecig stuff, and mixing your own juices and trying them out at different voltages with different resistance attys will open up a whole new world for you.

You're certainly kicking a 40 year habit in style mate, you're gonna love it.

Water4fuel,

I am usually in the notcigs forum but stumbled in here and found your post. Congratulations on your wise decision of considering the Buzz Pro/Infinity Pro. They are both EXCELLENT PVs, and customer service is top notch! My advice to you is to hop on over to Notcigs and say hello. Ask any and all questions you may have and let us help you make your decision as to which PV might be best for you. The Army (as we're dubbed) ;) are some of the friendliest bunch of people and really enjoy helping new customers.

I vape a purple Buzz Pro with 510 connection with an M1A1 tank......and have never been a happier vaper!!! ;)

Haven't ordered my 1st E Cig yet,was going to order the Volt.
But have found the Buzz Pro and Infinity Pro.
Just not sure if that's my best option for a 1st buy.
They can be ordered with a "Tank",but seens that's not a good fit for a Newbee.
I've read absolutely awsome reviews from people that own and use them.
I'm sure I'll get one later,if not now.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

The BuzzPro is an awesome unit and it's newbie friendly. Don't let anyone tell you anything different. As for the M1A1 tanks, also very easy to use. If you decide on one, you can always contact someone from the notcigs subforum, or myself, to help you with it. Mike, Buzzkill, makes a very easy to operate PV and it may be the only PV you'll ever buy.

THNX for responding to my post !! I have gotten so many wonderful people trying to help me. The Vast Majority say go for it !!
I think I've pretty much made up my mind,and will get the Infinity Pro. As far as the Tank,you think that's a good idea. Tell me a little more,if you find this post again.

Good Evening Water, As posted the carto tanks are great for those who dont like always having to "top off" our cartos. The carto tanks are a great way to ensure a long life from each of the cartos, all the while giving that hard to describe full flavor of the liquid thats bathing the carto. The cartos can be purchased without being punched or modded and you could mod one to fit into the tank and see if its for you or not. I think the ones offered by buzz are very nice and they compliment the device/design well. After all the tanks are only a couple of bucks especially if you are already ordering a full kit. Good Luck. Happy Vaping.

Ah Ha! I re-read your first post.... sorry about the confusion..... I thought your original post was referinng to the "T" series of products that so many poeple here fall into and for lack of a better wasy to putit... they are not for a new vaper...Way too much tinkering in my opinion. The tanks you were talking about are the carto tanks that are supplied on the Buzz site... the above post still applies....

    The BPro and IPro are both nice mods, but for a first PV?
    In all honisty I would suggest that you learn how to vape first. If you have someone there that is well versed about vaping that can guide you, then ya, go for it.
    If not I would suggest something like http://www.madvapes.com/eGo-25-Ohm-Cartomizer-Kit_p_3470.html for a first e-cig. You will want a reliable back up device anyway, and you don't even know if you will like vaping yet.

    If you go with a M1A1 tank, they are really easy. Go to your local hardware store or plumbing supply and get a small saddle valve. It will punch holes in your carto without much effort. Or you can use a dremel and cut a slot...just be careful not to go too deep. Simply insert the carto into the tank, remove the fill port, fill it up, fill carto from the mouth end like you would any carto (sorry forgot you don't have any stuff yet but it's easy to do), let everything rest so the juice gets into the carto, screw it onto your PV and vape away. When the tank gets low, refill it. The hardest part is making sure that your carto is full of juice BEFORE you start vaping on it. Once it's full, the tank will feed it.

    When using variable voltage, you want to make sure that all cartomizers or atomizers are regular/standard resistance...which is around 3ohm. This way, you can use the different voltages to find the best taste for the juice you're using.

    One other thing, make sure you get some atomizers. Atomizers come in hand to test flavors with...then they can be easily cleaned/rinsed out. You also might find that you like atomizers over cartomizers. Plus you aren't ruining cartomizers because you hate the flavor you have.

    On top of all this confusion, get a drip tip. I can't remember if one comes with the m1a1 or not. Drip tips feel nice on the lips plus it makes for easy dripping if that's what you decided you like the best. However, there's a little bit of a learning curve when it comes to dripping. Not hard to do but takes awhile to get the swing of it.

    Ummm...maybe for you a small PV worked but why go through all the hoops? There's nothing wrong with going straight for a mod. Plus she has me to help her as well as all of the Buzz Army.

    Water 4 Fuel ~ I think an Infinity Pro or a Buzz Pro would be a very good choice... I wish I had gotten mine before I spent so much $$ on other types of mods. It would have saved me many moments of frustration and almost going back to smoking a couple of times. I have tried the vmod and it is okay, but nothing compares to the quality of the notcigs pv's. The learning curve is minimal. The battery's last all day, altho that varies depending on your vaping habits... The ppl over at notcigs are most helpful w/any and all questions you may have. We love helping :)... The customer service is top notch and since these are manufactured in Calif., if something does need to be taken care of it is, and is given top priority... The owner of the company uses what he makes. The tanks are very easy to use. You can use boge's, fusions, or any sr carto. I use fusions in mine. Both are good. I'm not sure if Notcigs pre punches his, but you can go to any hardware store and get a saddle valve for under $10. Well worth the investment. I do believe you get a discount if you buy tank/mod together. Also if you use "ECF Buzzkill" you will get a discount. The hardest part is deciding what color to get, as the new colors that just came out are absolutely gorgeous.... Good Luck w/your decision to quit smoking analogs and to get a notcigs pv!!

    honestly...when you hold the buzz it is not nearly as fat as it looks. Maybe the diameter of a quarter.

    You are making a great choice either way!

    Actually the buzz pro is the same as a nickel, and the Infinity Pro is the same as a dime. I just put one on the bottom of each.

    So bobthesalesclerk is correct in it is not as fat as it looks :) :)
