Morning lavacorps!
Ok. I need some advice on what to buy next. I see that there has been some discussion on mods last night. I'll go back and catch up. But, first, I've been vaping very happily on my lil 'ol egos for quite some time. But, now that they've discontinued the 1.5s, I think I have to move up. (Ikenvape 1.6 SC clears are my favorite carto, but can't use them in the lava tank.

. I have some LR Fusions on the way to try again.) And I have the 1.7 smoktechs on the way.
But... I think I need to move up to higer voltage. But, I certainly can't afford all of these awesome mods all you folks have. I'd like to keep it as a tube mod.. inconspicuous... I work in a federal gummint building.
My main problem is that I don't know if just going to true 3.7V will do it for me. I have a 5V passthrough... which gets a little too warm sometimes. But, that's on 1.5 to 1.8 cartos..
Do I go with an epower? heard of switch problems, etc... And... if I'm going to buy something, should I go a little higher?
What's this lavatube? New... right? I don't really like trying new things.. But, maybe.
I've looked at roughstack. Not sure that I like the button on top with the tank.
I know VV is probably the way to go, but can't really find anything I can afford. I've heard a lot about the buzz, SB, precise(s), and of course the provaris and darwins. Most of which I couldn't afford. And, I have watched the classy's, but I really would like to by a mod from a vendor.
Ok... Sorry... I know I ramble... But, my egos have lasted me over a year and treated me very well. Should I just make a small step up? 3.7v?
Is there a 5v that is reasonably priced? (for us po folks...) Is there a cheap/good VV?
I would really appreciate as much advice as possible. I've grown to trust you folks and it sure seems like you've tried just about everything out there.
Now I'll go back and catch up on this thread.
Edit: Anybody here have something that is gathering dust that may fit my needs? I'd rather buy from a vendor. But, if it is somebody that has a good reputation with you folks, I may consider.
