looking for a step up from my itaste vv, dont say the mvp...

[Shootist]

That is easy to say, but there are far more flat tops available that are more mod appropriate than button top.
If you want top quality in button top you are pretty much limited to AW and a handful of eFests.

And what is the problem with AW or eFest?

If you are using a regulated device you don't need Sony VTC batteries. I don't know of any other battery that is recommended by manufacturers of regulated devices other than AW.

Any device that can only use button top batteries is one way to add reverse battery protection without having to add something in the chipset itself for that. To my knowledge there are no Dual Button batteries, buttons on both the top and the bottom. So if the device only works with button top batteries and you insert the battery backwards, negative end in first, the device simply won't make contact with the battery.

Also there is no device being made that will only work with flat top batteries. If it works with flat top it will work with button top.

What MORE do you want to do?

I have a iTaste VV V3 and in all honesty it does a reasonable imitation of my Provari 2.5 for the money. But I only use coils at around 1.4 to 1.8 ohms and run both at around 3.4 to 4 volts.

So what is the MORE you are looking to do?

I fixed that for you.

You might not be able to tell the difference between the two side by side but many of us can. The difference has been shown and proven under an oscilloscope.

A Provari provides a smoother more consistent vape because of its linear filter. When you set it at 4.2 volts thats what youre going to get, every single time and accurate to within a .1 volt.

Thats not true with an MVP, Vamo or any other mod that uses less expensive internal components. Their pulse width modulation arrives at an average of 4.2 volts by an entirely different route.

They cycle as high as 6 volts and as low as 3 volts many times per second and call the end result 4.2 volts.

Which is more accurate and consistent a .1 volt margin of error or 1.8 volts in either direction?

To the OP, I would keep my eye open in the classifieds and catch a deal on a good used Provari. You'll be happy you did.

You are mistaken about the iTaste VV and the MVP. They both deliver a fairly flat signal. The innokin SVD and 134, max/mini, do have that pulse width modulation like the Vamo and many other regulated mods.

Here's the Pbusardo review and a screen shot.

So as another poster mentioned Read more Post less.

And to that other poster I suggest the same.

Mech's aren't worth the money unless you are into Fashion or drip with dual/quad coils.

Thanks. I take it as it is meant. Back at you!!!!!

Well.....what is it you want to do? Does it have to be tubular?

Sorry off thread topic, but I just found this comment kind of funny. Nobody says "tubular" anymore, bravo, man, bravo.

I say tubular.... but mostly because it's fun to say tubular.

How do you like the controls on the Segilie 20? It has the tilt to adjust controls, no?

They seem very cool, but how is the practical application?

I wouldn't say it's cool, but it works, and I like that it's a one-hand, one-button control. It's definitely not the "I have to shake it and wave it all around" feature that some people have claimed it is. I think that setting watts in .1 increments is a bit overkill, and I think that affects the usability more than the tilt vs. button thing. It's going to take a little longer to dial in the wattage regardless.

I do like that there is only one button to break, not three. And the gyro feature/chip has not yet been affected by the many drops and floods that I've subjected the 20w to over the past couple of months, lol! One drop was so violent that it knocked one side of the top out a mm or two - I just flipped the whole unit on end and whacked it back into place with a rubber mallet, no problem…

Good, that's what I like to hear. I had to whack my Vamo back in to place a few times.

Also, totally agree with you on the 1 button thing. The clicker bit on my Down wattage button broke so that button became very very sensitive... I always had to check that i hadn't accidentally bumped it. The one button thing is nice too because it locks the desired wattage-- no need to worry about bumping it.

I may pick one up to replace my Vamo in a month or two. probably will go with the 30 watt model though.

Also there is no device being made that will only work with flat top batteries. If it works with flat top it will work with button top.

I've read reviews that the Sigelei 20W & 30W don't like flat top batteries very much.

It looks pretty nice, but I think it's a little dated at this point. It's about on par with the Vamo V5 me thinks. but the Tesla is aluminum so it's pretty light.

 

[Coldrake]

The reviewer said it wouldnt work with some flat tops batteries

Thanks. I don't consider that an issue at all.

There are loads of great ones - but most of them are box mods (e-lvt, MVP v2). You don't want a box mod - so what's up with a Vamo? Excellent menu system and up to 6v. Nice! And because they're inexpensive when the next cool mod turns up you won't think that you've wasted cash. They're also very good for checking coil resistance imho.

But is a vamo 5 really a set up i find it a minor step up.

It all depends on what you want to do with it. You can run a dripper on one very well - but sub-ohm? No. If you're after sub-ohm stuff them maybe one of the new regulated mods with huge wattage capability would be better for you? If it's just an image thing then mechs are cool right now. No-one knows what will be cool tomorrow.

I've read reviews that the Sigelei 20W & 30W don't like flat top batteries very much.

I'm using both Panasonic PF and Sony VTC4 flat-tops in mine, with zero problems... *shrug*

You know, I was at first really turned off by the box mods too until I finally tried one, and I now absolutely love them! First they are A LOT smaller than they look and they fit perfectly in your hand. Very easy to fire and use and they can be sat down anywhere without topping over like a pen mod. They are sturdy and even can be stylish. They feel so natural in the hand. I got myself a dna 20 a while back and absolutely loved it! I liked it so much I just bought a dna30. If you would be willing to give the box a try, fluid vapes has the cloupor clone which is a 1:1 clone meaning a exact clone, for a really really great price right now! In stock, no waiting and it ships from california! They have several colors avaible. I think they will go pretty fast so you should take a look at them. It is the second generation electronics, with improved 510 connector. I got one in red. I believe if you tried one you would love it ! If your considering a new mod this would be a great choice. The boxes were really s uprisingly nice and right now they are a great price. Hope this helps
