I already have 2 Volts, 2 V2s, 1 Echo, 1 1100 mAh Ego and 2 650 mAh egos. I'm itching to get an eGo Twist or eGo VV (are they actually the same?)or just a ego threaded one that spins My hubby has a provari, but that is way too high tech for me. Anyhoo, I really don't care if they are real joyetech or clones (have one of each and both work well). My thing is, I see so many places that have them, but I really don't want to pay for shipping. Now here's the dilemma...We're going to VapeFest next week (yippee!) Do you all think I should wait and see if one of the vendors there will have one - or should I just bite the bullet and order one and have it in time for VapeFest?? :unsure:

Simplicity is a good thing, but when you buy a tube mod you can replace the battery for $6 to $12 when it's needed and continue to use the same mod for years. With the Twist you are buying a package in which the entire ecig has to be ditched when the battery goes bad at $24.95 a pop.

That said, a tube mod is much larger and bulkier due to the size of the battery(s).

Maybe you'd be interested in this:

SLB eGo-V v2 MEGA 1200mah PassThrough eGo 3.0-6.0v OLED - GRAY [gv-SLBeGo-VMEGA-GRAY] - $35.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

1200 mAh ego-style battery, variable voltage from 3.0 to 6.0 volts, clicky button, true passthrough. It's sold out, but if you're savvy enough, you might be able to find a vendor who still has one.

Hoosier's eCig Supply has the SLB...called "kGo" and they have the device Rocket is talking about KGO V.V. 650mAh

They also have a pass through option. The menu is super easy to use, too.

Fourthrok ALMOST got it right. She is correct in that the Hoosier E-Cig Kgo VV was one of the first vv ego styles besides the Twist or Spinner, but the SLB eGo-V v2 Mega is a much better upgrade. Longer battery life and a clicky button. The Kgo VV button drove users mad. I went through waaaaay to many of those silly replacement button bands. Broke 'em just as often when trying to replace them. But she is mostly right, that's the battery that started the ego VV products, AFAIK.

EDIT: Fourthrok WAS correct, you can find it here on Hoosier E-cigs:

EDIT 2: Well, poop, it's sold out there, too.
