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.

Hi Water, Welcome to the ECF, I see nothing but rave reviews for the buzz and infinity products. If i had a choice i would go with the infinity because the 510 connector on the infinity has the capability to use ego threading as well as standard 510. I think if you want to give yourself the best possible experience you would be hard pressed to find a better first vape (at a reasonable cost). I agree with your assesment on not opt-ing for the tank system as a place to start. I say go for it. Pick up some good quality cartomizers and a varied selection of eliquid...You have done your homework, now you can reap some rewards.... Good Luck. Happy Vaping.

As a beginner, at first it may appear overwhelming but rather than go through so many steps to achieve the ultimate vape, I would highly recommend going this route. My reasoning is straightforward. The advantages of using a variable voltage device (and excellent ones such as the Buzz or IPro) is that the learning curve will be no more than going with cartridges/atomizers, then cartomizers, then tanks. You can use all of those systems (recommend 510 threading) with these VV mods. The real beauty is that you will get optimum flavor and vape from each of your juices with excellent battery life. If you were to use say for instance, Boge 2.0 cartomizers, these mods will work at lower settings providing you with a sweet spot.

The Boge 2.0 cartomizers with an eGo battery provide an excellent vape as the cartomizer is what is called a LR (Low Reisistance). The VV mods though will allow you to bring the voltage higher a bit to maximize the flavor and vapor output. Not only that, you will have "consistency" in your vape time after time, unlike the eGo or similar batteries that diminish power as they reduce in battery strength.

Using a Boge 3.0 will really shine as those cartomizers can handle higher voltage and make those flavor "pop". Some like the dual's as well but to begin with you can stay with a 3.0 then experiment as time goes.

I can always tell when my eGo batteries are losing power as I have to draw harder for the same amount of vapor, and the flavor is not nearly as rich.

You cannot go wrong with either of these devices and is my opinion, one of the best on the market, simple to use, excellent build quality and something that will last you for years and years.

Here is a video on the ins and outs of the Infinity Pro (which personally I have coming in the next few days)

A PBusardo Review - Infinity Pro VV Mod from NotCigs - YouTube

The learning curve using this mod will not take any more time than starting with substandard systems and you don't need a math degree for that matter.

Just my 2 cents.

I would suggest you use a device that will make vaping a little bit easier for you such as a good bottom fed design and there are many to choose from.
It will contain your juice and batteries in one device so all you need take with you would be an extra battery.
Typically both of these mods will go all day long on a single 18650 battery which makes vaping very easy and convenient!
I like the Vapage V-Mod and the Reos for ease of use.
I suggest you check those out in their respective forums.

I've been doing my homework for a couple months. I've continued smoking ,but looking for what would work best. I don't want to be unhappy with what I get or have a feeling that I need to immediately need to find something else. I was going to go with V2 or the Halo G6 and later I was looking at the Bloog and the Volt. I had recently decided to buy the Volt and was just about to order,when I discovered the "BUZZ PRO" and "INFINITY PRO". So I staated researching them and everyone as you sated, "Gave Rave reviews" I just didn't know if it was too much for a 1st timer to take on. If you're wondering why I use "Water 4 Fuel" it's because I'm totally into "HHO" (using water as a way to increase MPG's) it also drastically lowers emissions. THNX for responding to my post.

Hi Water, I do not think either choice would be too much. We all eventually fall so far in love with vaping so much that we look to replace our first/second/third choice by some form of larger battery and or adjustable mod. Go for it. BTW i have a 13b rotory with water/methanol injection going in my current project truck...LOL that i found your thread interesting.... Good Luck. Happy Vaping.

It doesn't sound like it'd be too much for you to handle. If you're patient enough to do this much research...you should be just fine.

If you can drop batteries into a flashlight, drip liquid out of a bottle, and work a little thumb dial, you can handle the Buzz or Infinity :)

The 'only' thing about a mod like this I can think of that might not be 'obvious' is that you'll want to keep a close eye on those batteries. Use a multi-meter to periodically check them. If there is any sign of damage...don't take chances...get rid of those batteries (as a set) and replace them.

Some of the pricier mods have meters or warning lights built in if batteries aren't up to stuff. Maybe the Buzz and Infinity does too? Check that...if not, get a cheap multi meter and be safe. Inspect your charger regularly, and try to be near the charger when it's plugged in (don't push in a set of batteries, plug it in, and leave the house for the day...that really applies with any e-cig tho').

Other than that...vape on and enjoy :)

Hey Green Latern.
You were my favorite Super hero growing up.
THNX for your thoughts. !!
You and couple others say it's a good way to go.
I thought it was a good way to go,but didn't know if it was too much for a 1st timer.
You know,trying to figure out the correct voltage and everything else I would need to do.
I had a long time ago decided I wanted to fill my own Carts,even when I was looking at V2 and Halo.
Then I found the Volt and I knew it was the absolute best,for what I was looking for,
a E Cig that was a Cigarette replacement (close to the real thing.
But decided maybe I should look over my horizon and see if something else was better. I was told by many to go Ego,
but found the "BUZZ PRO" and "Infinity Pro" I'm now leaning toward the Infinity,as it not real fat,like the Buzz.
That's kind of the reason I was going with the Volt and not an Ego.

Agree with Credo. Buy a multimeter and be sure to use it on your batteries before and after a charge. Simple insurance to make sure they are in good shape. The two models you have mentioned are good, but you really might want to check out the REOs. They are not variable voltage (will be soon), but do have the advantage of carrying your eliquid on board. Whatever you decide, good luck! :)

Good to see we have interests that a fairly simular. I have a small Dry Cell with a Fuel Saver chip (made for HHO) in my S-10 with a 4 cyl.. I plan on designing a building a new Dry Cell,but it won't use Stainless Steel. I going to make it considderably bigger and make it out of Titanium. There will not be dirty water to clean out or Hexivalent Chromium to take to a Hazardous
Waste Station. I hope to do this with in a few months. Actually, the cell I want to design and build,won't actually be a Dry Cell.
It going to be a Hybrid cross between a Wet and Cry Cell. It will get the best of both worlds.

That's wht I'm here. to learn and to get opinions from others that know better than I do.
I'll keep smoking my anologs until I maake that final choice and their replacement gets here.
I was in no hurry,when I first started looking imnto E cigs and I'm not going to get into one now.
I think I have made up my mind and will go with the infinity (shinnier and a very good one).
Retriever I looked at the REO awhile back,I'll recheck it,as you and others before have sugguested.
BUt I've been smoking for 40 yrs,so another couple more weeks isn't going to change much.

Wow, Thats impressive. Good Luck on both respects ......mine is primarily for boost density/cooling so completely different but fairly the same idea.... keep us posted.

I screwed up and said a cross between a Wet and Cry Cell and what I meant was a Wet and Dry Cell.
The whole cell will be total submersed in Potassium Hydoxide and distilled water,with the ends of the plates sealed,so they don't leak current out into the Potasium Hydroxide and water. The current will be snet through the plates,as a dry cell.
Createing Electrolysis,seperating the Hydrogen and Oxygen from the water. The gases will be collected and introduced into
the air intake ( as close as possible to the throttle body) Actually,my currnet set up itr almost inside it. Since HHO is much more explosive (10X) and burns much faster (3X),it enters in and increases the burn process. That's probaly not the greatest explanatgion,but I'm sure you know,wjhat I'm trying to say.

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.

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.
