Looking for a good mod

[Ping]

Hello,

I have been vaping for quite some time. I purchased a joye 510 kit about a year and a half ago and loved it at first, but quickly got tired of constantly changing batteries when they ran out of charge. I hated having to carry 2 spare batteries, juice and my ecig around with me all day and having to rotate charging them every night. I then bought a pass-through and hotwired it to a 5v 1000mA usb charger. This works extremely well to this day, but lacks the mobility I need. Once I got used to the 5v pass-through the regular 510 batteries just don't give me the hit I need. I am looking for some suggestions for a mod that will give the same kind of throat hit as the 5v1000mA pass-through. I currently drip and prefer that method compared to cartridges.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a mod with good battery life, 5v or higher, ability to drip and get good throat hit. The ability to order spare batteries, atomizers, and an extra charger would also be a huge plus.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Seriously consider a variable voltage mod that provides regulated voltage output. Variable voltage allows you to fine tune the bvoltage for most any atomizer you use to bring out the best combination of vapor and e-liquid flavor. Second, regulated voltage means that your atomizer receives the voltage you want, every draw, until the battery dies. Lastly, the newer generation of regulated variable-voltage mods provide some really, really decent battery life. If you are a heavy vaper, you could get 8+ hours on a single charge.

My personal experiences are with the ProVari (provape.com) and the Infinity (notcigs.com). Both are best of class and worth every cent you pay for them. I have built a few variable voltage mods, but the circuitry was not regulated os the voltage dropeed as the batteries lost power.

You are definitely on the right track wanting a good 5 volt PV. Here are two that are well supported on ECF and their "makers" stand behind their products:

GLV2: Electronic Cigarettes and E-Liquid - Great Lakes Vapor

Ken's 5 volt Box Mod: Box Mods

If you want to consider a good variable volt PV, then I would look at the Darwin or the Provari. The Darwin is from NHaler • Smoking Alternatives and here is a review of the Darwin:

The Darwin goes 21+ hours on a charge for heavy vapers and doubles as a pass-through in the rare instance that you needed to charge and vape at the same time. It comes with a 2 year warranty at no extra charge.

Any of these options will give you what you are looking for and the freedom to be mobile.

Wow! You guys want to see him/her spend some serious money. Check out the Maxi Rough Stack from madvapes for 45 bucks and batteries you can vape at 3 different voltages. Very sturdy tube mod at a good price...just my 2c

If you're looking for a mod I would personally suggest the Silver Bullet but as you can see by my signature I'm a little biased. Best of luck!

Ken's 5 volt PV is $37!!

I've just ordered the silver bullet which is a 3.7 volt, but it can be changed to 6 volt with different batteries. From all the rave reviews I read, I suspect 3.7 will be enough.

It's so nice to meet Rob's mother. I ordered the silver bullet after listening to VP live. I just can't WAIT for my new super PV to arrive in the mail.

Yes in fact some of the best mods Tube & Box are expensive but there is a reason for it. Long term quality and with long time battery life and less hassle juice handling. Some noobs are extremely happy with the jump to a hi-end mod. I depends on the person but nothing wrong to list it as an option.....a option that can save money in the long run bypassing upgrade after upgrade chasing for the right PV. If one is not sure yet if vaping is right for them then I'd not spend big bucks on one but if they are sure that vaping the answer to quit smoking then study up...do your homework on them and then go for it.

After quite a bit of reading reviews and looking at the different suggestions I have decided to go with the GLV2.
I'm still a little confused on the different atomizers. Will the HV 510 atomizer or the LR 510 atomizer work better? Also what difference will I see between the 5v and the 6v models. Will the 6V just drain the batteries a little faster and give more vapor?

Sorry for all the questions, I have only ever used the Joye 510. This will be my first MOD and I'm hoping to stop analogs for good this time. I just want to get everything right.

If you are going to be vaping at 5v or 6v you will want the HV attys.

 

[Slot-Tech]

Ken's 5 volt PV is $37!!

And the Big Kazoo 5V box mod is $35!! both are great 5V box mods at a really affordable price.
I also ordered a GLV2 5V. It's a $110 bucks but worth every penny so I've heard.

the 6 volt wont drain the batteries faster it just takes different battery (stacked crc123a's) the higher the voltage and the lower the ohms on your atty the more WATT(aka heat) you will create. most people like to vape at somewhere between 7 and 10 watts. here is a chart to help ya out. I would say dont vape below 7, as at that point you might as well go back to your 510. and when you get above 10 watts the vapor gets really hot(although I know people who vape a 13 lol) and you are putting a lot of stress on your atty's, so they wont last as long. If you are gonna vape around 10 watts or better I would HIGHLY suggest going with a quality atty. And there is no better than cisco attys.

did I read the sites wrong- I do not see that the Roughstack or Silver Bullet are 5v..?

Don't know about the Roughstack, but the Silver Bullet is 3.7v with the 18650 battery and 6v to 7.4v with 2 cr123 batteries (or so I've heard, I vape at 3.7v).

the rough stack is only 3.7 or 6 or 7.4 depending on what batteries you use. In the end it doesn't matter what voltage you vape at. as long as you match the right atty with it. A 3.7 volt pv with a LR 1.5 ohm atty will hit at about 9 watts. a 5 volt pv with a 2.8 ohm atty will hit at about 9 watts and a 6 volt with a 4 ohm atty will hit at about 9 Watts ect ect you could substitute in any voltage and resistance atty you want to get whatever watts you want. The advantage to going with more volts is you can get above 10 watts if you want and you get bigger batteries with more mAh's. Although the helix with the 26650 is a BEAST and its a 3.7 volt mod. And you would have to search far and wide to fine ONE person who in not in love with it. But the 26650 battery is 3.7 volt but stays at 4.2 for a long time before dropping to 3.7v

You will be very pleased with the GLV2. I'm pretty sure you can use any atty you want on it. The LR's and dual coils will give you more throat hit and will drain the batteries a little faster. I use BE112/801 attys and mini-801 attys on 5 volt PV's. Many of us long time vapers find the 801 size attys the best on 5 volt and variable volt PV's. I also use 801 cartos from MadVapes which work well.

Many, (me included) find 6 volts actually too hot. It actually goes beyond warm into the burning range. If I had a 6 volt PV, I would be using 4.5 resistence atomizers but why go that route when you can get a 5 volt and use most any atty/cartos. For many 4.5 - 5.0 volts is the sweet spot for vaping. (about 8.5 watts)

 

[vert1276]

I would not put a 1.5 ohm LR atty on a 5 volt PV LOL you would be vaping a at 16.6 WATTS WOW!! I think around 2.5 to 3.0 ohms is the sweet spot on a 5 volt PV but that's just me that will put you between 10 and 8.3 watts. when you go about 10 or 11 watts you better be using cisco spec attys and even then you are gonna smoke them pretty fast. 2.5 to 3.0 ohms is a standard 808 or 801 or 510 carto and atty

They are not 5 volts but ElectronicStix and madvapes sell a 5v battery that's the size of an 18650. Have a couple of them myself and couldn't imagine vaping without them.

So you are getting good success out of the NiMH batteries? I have been scared to spend money on them. Only becasue i have had such great success with Li-ion batteries. Are the NiMH batteries even protected? Would be nice to though in just ONE battery and vape at 4.8 volts though, if they work that is. how is the drain on them for ya?
