Looking for a reliable mod (like everyone else)

[ToneLic]

Now I realize that this is probably a common thread title but I'm so sick of getting a mod and having it crap out on me the next day. I guess my problem is because I'm buying cheap box mods, i.e. madvapes vv box, and I just got the big kazoo in the mail yesterday and it stopped working today. Yes I will most likely take advantage of the 30 day warranty on the kazoo but I'd prefer not to do that with the mods I get.

So I guess what I'm looking for is a reliable 5v OR vv mod preferably under $100. Not really looking to get another box. Just something I won't have to worry about crapping out on me the next time I have to work an 11 hour shift. Thanks.

I actually love my box mods but DH and I both know how to tinker with them if they do break. Since I know how tells you right off it VERY easy to do.
Since you don't want to go down that road, I'd look into the Reo.
And no matter what you carry with you, have a spare (two is better) with you at all times.

yea luckily I have my trusty e-pipe mod handy.

I'll take this opportunity to recommend the Provari if you have the cash to spend. It's a great mod. The build quality is amazing, the batter life is around 1.5 days (chain vaping with the 18650), I'm sure others will have suggestions, just find the one you think will suit you the best.

Take a look at the 5v GLV2.Its built like a tank.Ive had mine for a year and its never misfired.It also has a great warranty just in case.Ive tried others and this GLV is definetly my favorite.

If your looking for reliability and durability stick with metal. I like the cheap plastic boxes but they are what they are, cheap plastic. I use them with care they've treated me good but for on the go or when I know I might be handled a little rougher I go with something else.

If you want to stick with a box check out the Rio, probably the toughest box mod made but it doesn't come in VV. There are several wooden VV mods available that are much more durable than plastic but all of these will put you well over budget.

For a vv tube check out the classifieds, might be able to swing a used Buzz etc under budget. New the infinity is also available. For a fixed volt tube the Maxi Roughstack is a good choice and won't break the bank, you have several other options at fixed volt tube also.

Now that Happy Vapor is selling the ego booster that can transform any ego into a VV mod why not try it . A bit expensive at $60 after instant rebate but probably will work better and for longer so the price maybe worth it .

You can't go wrong with a GLV or Triple V (from Kalamazoo Vapor shop) for 5v vaping, both are durable and cheap, though you'll probaly have to carry an extra pair of batteries with you. Or the Silver Bullet, GGTB, or Chuck with LR attys.......

The Triple V looks real nice.I havent tried one but they look very durable.

What about the Maxi Rough Stack from Madvapes? From everthing I've heard/read/watched it's durable has heck.

It's not 5v but it's pretty flexible voltage wise :
"You can use an 18650 for 3.7 volt vaping, 2 16340 3 volt batteries for 6 volt vaping or two 3.7 volt 18350's for 7.4 volt vaping.. "

This is what I've been considering mostly because everyone says they are so tough (and easy to repair if the switch goes bad). And honestly, $45 is pretty damn nice. Heck the whole kit with batteries and charger is only $75.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I decide to pre-order the buzz pro. hahahh. Went a bit over my budget but with all the positive feedback on the buzz, I figured the buzz pro could only be an improvement. DEFINITELY going to think about a GLV2 for my next mod though. I've learned my lesson, cheap plastic mods stay at home, study metal mods get to come to work with me haha. Thanks again for the help!

For me it is different . I take the cheap stuff to work in case it gets dropped or run over . I have the expensive stuff for home or an evening out .
