KGO vs EGO vs PVV?

[StarBest]

It's been 1,5 years since analog. I've heard about KGo, is it better than Joye EGO? From the look of KGO I assume it should be no different than EGO. I'm thinking to buy Provari but it a little bit expensive compare to Lava etc. Can anyone give me suggestion, is it worth it to buy this Provari? Will this gives more vapor, flavor etc? Which atomizer is the best (beside vision ego clearomizer) since I'm not a fan of cartomizer. I have Vivi Nova V2 on the way, just bought it yesterday 3 hours before GotVapes start to sell V2.5
I use 100% PG clove mixed with Djarum Black.
Any advice or suggestion would be appreciated
Thanks

I'm sure some people will be along shortly to tell you all about the Provari. My personal experience with variable voltage is that I found I prefer my juices at about 3.7 volts, so I've just gone back to using my Echo's which are more compact. Most people swear by variable voltage, but I found it was unnecessary for me.

Thanks Adam, I'm happy but not a happy camper with my setup EGO 1000mah, CE2+ clearomizer (which I'm intend to change due to tube cracking). Read all bout PVV, it's very tempting but still not sure it would bring me to the next level
Your opinion definitely helpful.

If you're not sure you want to go with a Provari yet, you could try the Kgo which is a higher voltage version of the Ego, or the Twist which is a variable voltage Ego. These are both fairly cheap options. I wish I could help you out with your atomizer question but I don't use them.

I'm definitely not saying don't try variable voltage, most people love it, and I'm glad I tried it.

IMO, the kGo is better than the Joye (or other) eGo. The reason is the voltage they supply to your carto/atty.

Most eGos are regulated at 3.4 volts. kGos provide 3.7 volts. Some kGos provide 4.2 Volts straight off the charger, only declining to 3.7V after some hours of use. kGos also cost less, generally. kGos don't come with the poor performing tank systems of several of the eGo models (eGo-T, eGo-C).

If you get just the batteries, there is nothing wrong with the eGos besides the lower power output, which may or may not be noticeable depending on what you're using for your juice delivery system. The worst thing about eGos is their insistence on selling you their "tank systems", which are junk compared to the alternatives, like the Vivi Novas or Stardusts. In the end, they are disposable, All the eGos/kGos/Rivas/Vgo/tGos/*Gos and now, the Twist, are disposable batteries. What do you expect from a disposable battery?

Whether it's worth it to buy a Provari over something else depends on how much money you have. It costs 3-4 x more than a Lavatube. Is it 3-4X better? IMO, not really. Is it much better? In some ways yes; in some ways, no. Both do their jobs just fine. Both have pros and cons. Both are better than the kGo or eGo or any disposable PV. Considering you can get a Vtube for $10-20 more than a kGo, eGo or Twist, and for less than some eGo-T kits, it's definitely a better value.

In the end, you can't really make direct comparisons between a $50-75 Lavatube and a $180-200+ Provari. I wouldn't jump straight into a $200 VV. You could end up being like Adam there and find out you'd just as soon have a really nice 3.7V device. You can get one helluva nice 3.7V PV for < $150-200.

Speaking of the Vivi Nova V2, I bet you will love it. I bought one and liked it so much, I ordered 2 more. The next night, the V2.5 was available, so I just had to get one of those. I think the only real noticeable difference will be the long wicks and the crack-resistant plastic tanks. I think the short wicks work fine and you can always re-wick and re-coil them for pennies. It's almost simple enough for the blind and arthritic vaper to do.

IMO, the best of the smaller clearomizers is the Fluxomizer Supreme XL from Gotvapes. Unlike all the other CE2s I've tried, they don't leak, the plastic doesn't crack and they wick well with the 70%VG juice I use. Plus, they last forever. I can't seem to burn one out.

is it worth it to buy this Provari? Will this gives more vapor, flavor etc?
I use 100% PG clove mixed with Djarum Black.

If you're wanting more vapor then have you thought about adding some VG. VG= vapor. And if you're looking for more flavor you may want to add extra flavoring to your juice. As for the original question eGo vs Kgo- the Kgo is a much better PV in terms of voltage and batt performance as sailorman explained.

I'm thinking to buy Provari but it a little bit expensive compare to Lava etc.

I owned a Provari but gave it to a very good friend as I'm very happy with a 3.7 PV and never used it. It all depends on the individual as some LOVE thier VV whether it be the Twist, LT or Provari.

If you want to see what VV vaping is all about get a little 35$ VV box mod from Madvapes. They are great for a back up if you decide you want a fancier one, and you didn't spend a fortune if you decide you don't need VV.
Funny, I have a Viva Nova sitting on top of my fancy VV right now. Wanna know what it's set at ........ yup you guessed it!

I have a couple of Kgo’s and am satisfied with them. I got a Twist a couple of weeks ago and love it. It is my main PV right now. The thing I like about VV is that I can set it and forget it. It will vape at that same voltage until a few puffs before the battery dies. Depending on the juice, I tend to vape anywhere from 3.4v to 4.3v.

I can’t recommend which VV will be best for you as you have to weigh the factors that work for you (price, size and features). I don’t feel that there’s a one size fits all device here that will be best for everybody.

I chose the Twist because I already had the Kgo / eGo chargers and attachments. About $25 and I was good to go. I also liked the size and feel of the 650mah which is the largest device that feels comfortable in my jeans front pocket. It does have some down sides which Sailorman pointed out. The internal battery is not replaceable, and 650mah will not last me all day. I end up putting it on the charger in the evening and grabbing another PV while it’s charging up. They make 900 and 1000 mah Twists, but they are too long to fit in my pocket. It does however do a good job at allowing me to set my desired voltage and is very reasonably priced. It has sold me on the world of VV, and when the battery does die I will replace it with another VV device. It seems like the hardware vendors are upping their game rapidly and 6 months to a year from now when the Twist dies and I’m again in the market for a VV there will probably be something yet unknown that I’ll want.

IMO, Provari is better than the KGo, which is better than the eGo.

The eGo batts will give you the same voltage throughout the battery life, but it's only 3.2-3.4V. If you like better performance, a KGo will give you 4.2V off the charger, gradually diminishing until you've used up the battery charge. With a Provari you can go up to 6V and will hold the set voltage throughout the life of the battery. The Provari will let you get the most performance out of your juice/carto combination by adjusting the voltage to suit your taste.

If you want to try VV but are not ready to spend the money on a Provari, look into the eGo Twist battery. It is variable voltage, the same form factor as an eGo battery (slightly longer) and you can get one for $25-$30. It only goes to 4.8V, but you can still use cartos of 3 ohm or less and tune the voltage for your taste.

Thank guys
I think I'll try Twist or VTube/ModBox
Hunting time for those things and VG juice to mix with my PG

 

[sohail36]

hey if you want to get the lavatube then make sure you get the chrome one as its more solid,the standard black one is very weak,one drop and the top cap comes off

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

I'm in the same boat, just not for as long. Being vaping exclusively for the past 2.5 months after smoking cigarillos for 4 years, after smoking cigs for 11. So far I'm happy with the eGo C. I've also gotten 4 people to switch from cigs over to vaping.

 

[StarBest]

Welcome to the crazy vaping world Jmzjmz
At first I thought vaping would be simple, battery + cartomizer + juice then you're good to go
Holy molly the more I search online the more it feels like computer world, everything is changing like crazy. I spent more money for this things than for analog. Now you can't go back to analog because it taste awful

Received my Nova V2 from SureVapes today and put order Nova V2.5 plus (3) 2.4 - 2.8 heads each, Fluxomizer and metal tanks from GotVapes. Haven't try Nova V2 yet maybe after I get my VV, save it for the best
After crazy times over bunch of reviews pros and cons about VTube vs Provari, I decide to get Provari next week. Had Apollo sell the single SS VTube instead put it on the kit I would buy it yesterday.
Cross my fingers that with these tanks, fluxomizer, bunch of CE2 clearomizer left, Provari and Egos batt it would be years before I buy anything else other than juices.

Thanks for everyone's advice

To be honest,the smoke volume is just not depend on the voltage,but also the eliquid and atomizer.but in theory,it is up to the voltage. so if you want more vapor.focus on three ways.

1.the eliquid,pg-less vapor strong flavor.. vg-more vapor,lighter flavor.70/30 is an idea mix.

2.bty.usually working voltage is 3.7v.i used to vape the joye510,Bogev2, ego, kgo,but i like kgo more than ego.it gives the vapors more smoothly,i feel very happy about it.

3.atomizer, a good atomizer must first absorb oil and lead them to the heating coil quickly,and more resistant to the high temperture.surely low ohm will give more vapor,but it is easily damaged.

I now use the adjustable air inflow e-cig F10 with 1100mah bty.i am enjoying it.

Variable voltage will allow you to change how hot you cook your juice . The higher the voltage, the warmer the vape. But the faster your batteries will die and the faster you will burn your atty. It will all depend on what you vape and how you like it. Sweeter juices do better at lower temps/ volts, strong Flavors like tobacco or coffee taste better at higher volts. This is all assuming you are using the same size ohm carto ( for ex, 2.4ohm). Personally, I just like it in the middle at 3.7.

The kgo is better than the ego because it is regulated to 3.7v whereas the ego is 3.4 (too low IMO). Don't get the ego twist. If you want vv, get the lava. Its 1/4 the money and just as good. The provari has it benefits, but unless you care a lot about looks, they are not worth the price tag. Plus it's big and fragile. Your not going to want to carry a $200 pv out bike riding or on a trip.

Which one did you get? Is it good?

 

[money4me247]

this is another good option that I saw when I was researching variable voltage batteries. i really wanted to get it, but i found that 3.7V does the trick for me.

it is the apollo-vv. Apollo eGo-VV Battery
It's a 650mAh variable voltage that goes all the way up to 6.0V. I haven't tried it myself, so I can't say how it performs, but it seems nice. Apollo also has a pretty legit 1 year warranty btw & if you google search you should be able to find up to 25% discounts for their equipment.

good luck & i hope you find what you are looking for.

oh yea, and I totally agree w/ what peter said. if you want more vapor, first increase your VG. PG = flavor & throat hit. VG = vapor. then lower the resistance. The nice thing about the mini vivi nova is that is comes w/ 3 different resistances for you to try. Since you got a VV, you can accomplish the same effect of a lower resistance by raising the voltage.

Besides that, there isn't much else you can do about vapor, but I have found that w/ a 3.7V regulated battery at 1.8ohms mini vivi nova clearomizer, I can legit blow out clouds of smoke. More than enough to satisfy anyone except the most hardcore vapor enthusiasts.
